Parveen Shakir
The Silent Storm in Silk and Ink
I write so the silent may speak.
By day, I serve the state with precision. By night, I bend language into truth. My verses are not for salons, but for those whose lives are stitched with struggle. I do not seek to comfort — I seek to awaken.
What I'm Into: the hush between verses, women's laughter in tea houses, the edge of a pen's point, civil service files with hidden stories, the sea at dusk
