Poetry 12 | Manacles | Dr. Vedha Surendra

Writer's picture: EditorEditor


The compelling words of inspiration,

Infused in hearts and minds, elation.

Fetches nostalgic memories galore,

Of journeys past, both rich and poor.


The words once stacked and tightly bound,

Shackled in chains, nowhere found.

Detained in traps so dark and deep,

Subdued in silence, forced to sleep.


At last, they've managed to break free,

After ages of obscurity.

To see the light, to dare and strive,

To breach the bounds and come alive.


The impermissible threshold crossed,

In a prejudiced world once lost.

To realms both distant and so near,

To free the wings once clipped by fear.


To set them free, to watch them soar,

To dreams denied forevermore.

To give those dreams their rightful place,

And see her triumph with grace.


Through words unchained and spirits bright,

Emerging from the darkest night.

With courage bold and vision clear,

Embracing futures free of fear.


In voices strong, in colors bright,

They paint the world with newfound light.

From shadows deep to heights untold,

Their stories brave, their truths unfold.


No longer bound by past's cruel hold,

In every heart their tale retold.

A legacy of strength and might,

To guide the world towards the light.
