Voice

I hear a thousand voices

in one familiar voice

If there's a collection 

of human archives,

it indeed is our voice

we speak of the unspoken

or of spoken pasts

that has become a cliche

Intonations and pitches

make us discover people

and invent their emotions

sometimes in the art of imitation

sometimes in unknown deliberation

Your voice could remind 

somebody of Dashrath's promise

It could imitate Shakuntala's pain

Your voice can certainly

become some musician's delight

It could raise thunderstorms

or it could burn everything

with the permutation and 

combination of certain notes

You never know

what it could have done

what it has actually done

You delve in your own ears

when you should actually

delve into somebody's voice!

~Nishpriha

I have plucked your voice

and put them on my ears

just like a pair of earrings~Gulzar
