The Thought Splinters

What's in writing? What makes one to author something from the absolute scratch? What is the science of this art? Is it just the perceptible version of the human thought or something-deep lies within this solemn form of art? The little magic of letters, the funny games between the lines….. The kinship of paragraphs and hence the literal tribute to the risk that architects the inner thoughts that gloriously shapes the unyielding passion for a literary style and way of life. Behind the veil of shadow charmed words, dwells the writer-man. Who, armed with pen, tirelessly searches beneath the debris of feelings and desires, And simply treasures the moments that designs this lissome piece of art. Composing words With skilled engineering of ideas that run down through the alleyways of mind….. The writer-man illustrates the canvas where emotions are drawn, Reflections are sketched, And tales are told with human color and ardent strokes. All those whispers of the little voice inside… Wondering around the spaces between fiction and reality… And all the conversation between the mind, heart and all the musings of the soul, Where do they all go? Locked up in the bubble of time? Chained up by the codes of life? Surely, beings in us desperately struggle to breathe in this secular sphere of ever expanding confusion. In the quest for freedom, the spirit in us excavates our very soul, And vibrantly surfs on the waves of emotions and loans ear to the assembly of million thoughts that continually circle around our misconstrued mind. And often by the shape of words These inner thoughts find their way out, As they gently sail through our consciousness and make their way into the light. The alchemy of alphabets allows us to have a glimpse of ourselves by streaming down soul's rearview mirror. And the key to enter upon the realm of words lies on the urge of willingness to declare the innersole and the ultimate self. Penning down the casual percepts and the untamed imagination could always open up the magical door to an unpredictable certainty. Dodging the reality it creates a sense of belonging in a world, That is designed to fit the shape of one’s true conscience, Whether simple or mystical, It surely travels right at the heart route. (C) Obaidur Rahman. Published in the poet’s debut book of English poetry titled “The Mystic Inferno” in 2012.
