Words Unspoken


March 27, 2012 at 10:39am
Have we not remained
Silent* at every turn

Shall we speak from within
At least in our next meeting

What remains each time is the unsaid
“How do you do”…,”Doing well”
dry domestic chat dotted with
Silence that swallows time

Can you say we spoke what we meant

The words jammed in the voice box
While we were painting the future
In each other’s eyes
Still tease.

Have we not caged ourselves
To please one and all..!
Shall we speak from within
atleast in our next meeting

Have you ever spoken of
Your blackened eyelids and
The gloom  sauntering on your face

Are we bold enough
To unfold ourselves even in dreams

The words within yet tease

Can we speak from within
At least in our next meeting...!!!
