1 <br /> <br />To test the ruggedness of Silence, <br />unknowingly nurtured within, for over <br />a decade, I put it to box with a diamond. <br /> <br />Both fought hard and the scores read <br />five all at the fourth's end. In the fifth, <br />having lost minerals, both fell locked <br /> <br />in each other's arms.Then the Diamond, <br />by mistake, licked Silence and at once <br />dropped dead. Poison read the autopsy. <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />Standing on a hill top, with Silence <br />by my side I saw an army of black ants, <br />in attention, slowly shaking their heads. <br /> <br />You took me here to see Ants? enraged <br />I asked Silence. Then it took my right <br />and placed it on its silver left and I felt <br /> <br />binoculars over my eyes and mind. <br />Then the ants became men at a burial <br />and I saw the wedding of man and mud. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />For having overstayed in my house <br />I asked Silence for some extra greens. <br />It showed me the clean insides of <br /> <br />its pockets, a worthless naked body, <br />spread its hand like a prey-less starfish <br />and shrugged like a child questioned <br /> <br />about the true origin of life and God. <br />'Some Compensation at least', I demanded. <br />It gave me a pen with a warranty for life.<br /><br />Pradeep Dhavakumar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/three-poems-on-silence/
