Decorated Silence <br /> <br />the trail of smoke pronounced my name <br />hesitant to leave....... <br />the sky, burdened... <br />transferred it to the clouds <br />to rain on your rooftop <br />know that...know that....know that it is sorrow's rain <br />of silenced pain <br />to be shattered on your window pane <br />or to bounce back <br /> <br />in between us <br />a sea of grief to drown and breathe in <br />the failure of uncomfortable realities <br />and <br />let me swallow the darkness of your loneliness <br /> <br />Oh no, <br />you are not alone <br />the squirrel winking from a distant tree <br />fluffy tail, soft and gentle <br />peeping into the secret corners of your mind <br />the black black bird with shrill voice <br />adding glow and glitter <br />the red robinbreast spreading her melody <br />the sky with slow moving cumulus <br />making the bitter memories more friendly <br />the Sun sometimes too hot <br />as a narrative of our imperfections <br />roaring trees trying to hide shadows, echoes and mysteries <br />and her child cold breeze alleviating the miseries <br /> <br />May I be the night to balm your eyes <br />devouring your fears <br />or plead the sky to lower the stars to fill the breakfast bowl of wrong delicious equations <br /> <br />your loneliness mocking at me... <br />I leave you <br />decorating my silence <br />the silence between unspoken words <br />the words disappearing into a song of tune and tone <br />to fill your plate, platter and palette <br /> <br />returning to people who don't even deserve tears <br />and <br />the husband I never have<br /><br />prasanna kumari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/decorated-silence/
