An introspective poem, wherein the poet, Kamrun, talks about words and its complex relationship with each of us. An exclusive for Different Truths.

Words speak, words lose path to reach destination.
The sound of words is boundless,
The sound of words is like a droplet of water.

On the wordless silent page
sometimes birds can fly
The shrub sometimes grows into a vine.

Sometimes a little word can make you happy,
and can bring a smile to your face.
Just like magic!

Sometimes words work as a watchman
and defeats to catch the thieves
and slaughters the blooming beauty unwillingly.

The words spread its curvature like a gold creeper
and then realise 
It's all just innumerable whims.

The word could be a full-fledged pleasure
or sometimes be a basket of resentment.

Through words anyone can meet up the distance.
In the same way can enhance the distance.

For crooked diplomacy or complicated
relations anyone can blame words.

Words are the inevitable truth.
It can drag the mask from anyone’s face at any time.

Words have divine power that is prevailing
everywhere all over the world.
 
Silence also has its own language.
Also having wonderful lexical forms.

Only a few can realise and
can get the vibe of its pure soul.
