Sankha’s evocative poem in DifferentTruths.com explores the raw power of human feeling, championing the heart’s sovereignty over logic and machinery.

Let the emotion speak out in tandem...
Oh, am I the costliest of all?
Gadgets carved out by needs fall short of the lawless rules of emotions….
Be there and belong to me; be the reason for me to live…
 
Art and science fail to predict their outbursts....
To it, I wish to die for a cause
Oh emotion! Without you, I refuse to breathe the scented air....
Be there and belong to me; be the reason for me to live….
 
Let my heart break into a million pieces; let me cry to quench my heart to slices…
Reluctant to let me catch the postulate behind….
Because the predicted flow drifts a happiest soul…
Be there and belong to me; be the reason for me to live….
 
The blessed adrenaline of flora and fauna...
Flow to tears, to drop in a smile of infallibility...
Let you not divulge the secrets of your subsistence… but still ….
be there, belong to me, be the reason for me to live….
