In the silence <br />of unspoken verse <br />I search for words <br />that makes sense <br />even when said. <br />I seek the truth <br />in the lie, <br />whenever <br />I hear you say, <br />‘I love you’. <br />Have I lost love, <br />in the search <br />of the unheard? <br /> <br />Unnamed, are my heart’s <br />twisted agonies. <br />They come seeking me <br />in painful spaces, <br />silences build for themselves <br />amongst us. <br /> <br />Death <br />too cradles, <br />in its stillness, <br />fragments <br />of my thought. <br />You cannot see me <br />behind my closed eyes. <br />But, the smile <br />that fleets <br />across your lips <br />knows of thoughts, <br />I left astray <br />in the silence...<br /><br />O Sudhir Janardhanan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-silence/
