As much as I like to exercise the power of logical reasoning when writing creatively, I'm careful enough not to displace inspiration in the process.
Punctured Silence is an inspired title for a collection of poems incubated by inspiration in the laboratory of thoughts. It's a book fathered by passion, but nurtured by vision.
Studying literature, I devised this definition for it- 'a duplicative form of life that addresses the past in its quest to enlighten the present on how to mold the clayey future.' With this understanding, I penned every poem in this book basically to educate and entertain without sacking integrity and clarity.
In my inventive attempt to clearly reach out to my readers, I frowned at obscurity by throwing an addictive look at coherence. Therefore, a reader can courageously and judiciously try to find the depth of each poem without drowning in the ocean of ambiguity. Without communicating, the essence of language is lost.
In this collection, silence is punctured to provoke ceaseless flow of irrepressible emotions seeking the redemption of humanity. My aim as a poet finds utmost expression in the words of Martin Luther King Jnr; 'Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.'
Punctured Silence!
I dip a blazing pen
into my aerated soul
to punctured silence.
