Poetry from Munavvar Tlewbaeva

Young Central Asian woman with straight dark hair, a black coat over a white collared shirt.

Book 

The book was braver than I was ,

It spoke when I chose to stay silent .

I held my quiet deep inside ,

While my heart spilled across its pages.

They asked me, Why were you crying ?

I smiled and hid the truth away .

I was just reading a book I said ,

And let my secret gently stay .

Some pain can’t fıt into words ,

It lives where voices disappear.

But books are never truly silent ,

They know the tears we never share.
