LAYERS OF DEAFENING SILENCE

I talked and talked
Without ever getting tired
But then
You got, listening..
Now I live quietly
In the Layers of
Deafening silence
A strange place, that!
But It’s a happier me
For I often find you around
Floating through
The haze of my dreams
And before I can embrace you
I hear the sounds of
Fluttering wings of thoughts
Swiftly fading away
Making me cringe
In my silent space
Wondering,
If ever you choose to
Have a brief sojourn
In those few fleeting moments
What will we talk…

  3. It reminded me of the moments when we shared our silence and how we communicated in that silence. I can feel a tear coming down my eye.

  12. A lot of emotion and power in your words Ramesh. There's some sadness that also comes through, though sometimes there can be a comfort in the silence of introspection.
