Silence Unexplained

As you keep on embedding long pauses 

between your words,

Sometimes I feel you have very little left with you

to speak out.

The moment I start thinking that I would

offer you  solitude as a gift to cherish ,

I hear my name being called silently.

Once again I turn back,

only to listen to you.

I've tried a lot , but I could never snatch away

from you ,

this tiny yet so tight stake you had on me.

Whenever I had thought of cutting this very last string ,

Enthralling reverberations of rumbling 

sound prevailed in my mind.

Dreams of placenta have disturbed my sleep many a time.

Every-time  I keep expecting 

that, this time indeed, you would break your silence;

you would share with me the experiences,

the truth you learned during self-desolation.

waiting endlessly, the Time loses "melanin",

grows old with grey hair.

We remain the same,

the prehistoric smiling faces,

unfazed, unchanged , unexplored;

just you and me.

Reviews

Ok. Since you sent this again, I will review it once more.
Sometimes, time will make one's perception of a particular piece evolve - where once I reviewed this from the stance of a bystander, I am now living it.
We all have to go through it, I guess. People come and go. Perhaps, these are moments that jar us from our sense of complacency to find lessons each relationship - as each begins and ends.
At the end of the day, we only have ourselves to face and figure out if we have become who we were destined to be or not… and the silence will be unexplained no more.

Thanks dear. I am honored to get two different takes from you on this write. I am honored that you spent quite some time with it :)

wow this grabbed me...it is like knowing a person forever and then realizing...wow, i don't know you at all...you never let enough of yourself go...you won't open, you never have...an unopened book on a shelf for years.

I don't know; is this a departure in style for you. I mean are you trying something new in form. Either way. I like it. This poem is almost prose-like and obtains a fantastic level of expressionism. And still all the symbolism and metaphor I have come to expect from your writing. I found myself saying 'yeah' and nodding my head throughout. Deep, unaffected(not that you are ever affected) write. Loved it.

[Anand Sehgal]

I am putting the deconstruction a little aside for the time being. A phase of prosaic, narrative thought process is on . Thank you for your kind review.

[Pryde Foltz]

You do it masterfully.

[Anand Sehgal]

you are so kind :)

[Pryde Foltz]

Kind? Maybe. But you are in touch with the muses. No doubt about that.
