Subimal Sinha-Roy Poet Free verse

Sanctum Of Silence

in cacophony continuum
incongruent noise draft navigates
the decibel waves 
beyond the fringe of discernment
                         n u m b e d
while the sense of frenzy
feels the quieting caress
                         f o r l o r n 
of still calmness 
as the halcyon emotive sagacity 
sinks slow in hermit serenity  
                         u n e x p r e s s e d
in the remote impulsive recess 
of the mute mind
                        i n s e n s a t e

disparaging dissonance 
finally fades away 
in the twilight zone 
as the vibrato of the last spectrum 
echoes in the sonata of solitude
finds nascent niche
                        t r a n q u i l
strikes reticent concord 
                        s e n s u o us
in the concerto cord 
of the harmonic harp
as the taciturn voice of essence 
serenades the lilting lyric of the last mile
in the sanctum of silence
                         s e r e n e

Alison A Smith September 18, 2026 at 8:08 PM A richly textured free-verse meditation, “Sanctum Of Silence” moves convincingly from sensory overload into an almost sacred stillness. The spaced, isolated words operate like visual rests in a musical score, deepening the poem’s emotional descent through numbness, solitude, and finally serenity. The recurring musical language—“vibrato,” “sonata,” “concerto,” “harmonic harp”—beautifully frames silence not as emptiness but as its own resonant composition.
