Trench.

By Sunaina Patnaik at Wednesday, August 16, 2017 0 comments
Right now, my mind is a malleable trench of emotions and thoughts,
easily swayed as the gust of wind,
but also as composed as a stubborn ox,
maybe it has a mind of its own,
how ridiculous,
if my mind has a mind of its own,
unconditionally untamed by me,
then what is it that I can do?
should I tap into the inner realms of my mind
to remind it of my integrity?
or must I surrender to it?
it feels stupid, of course,
to dictate terms just because I want to,
but then, how do I stop feeling things that I
shouldn’t if I don’t break the silly trench free?

Heal.

By Sunaina Patnaik at Saturday, July 08, 2017 0 comments

We heal in silence,
We heal in clamour,
We heal in mirth,
We heal in company,
We heal in solitude,
We heal with music,
We heal with art,
We heal in believing that we are
healing,
But if we don't try,
we don't heal at all.

Silence

By Sunaina Patnaik at Wednesday, July 05, 2017 0 comments
If I knew that silence was this marvellous,
I would have asked for it
on starless nights and merciless mornings,
I would have asked for it each time words created a din
in my mind,
eluding even the purest of my thoughts and emotions,
If I knew that silence was this rhapsodic
I would have allowed it to engulf me in its symphony,
something that we wouldn’t have possibly created without
spitting vitriol,
but what if this silence deprives me of words
and the flair of creating them,
would I still embrace silence then?
or would I end up giving you all my leftover words?
