Silence

Silence
Silence in the room
Takes away all her smiles
Noise, noise is all that she wants
Music is all that she loves
And music fills her life
Every moment of hers is filled with music
Music is where she finds solace
The good old radio in the room –
The source of her music
Played everything she wanted
She learnt music
She sang along the radio
She jumped with the songs
Cried with the songs!
Laughed with the songs
Screamed with the songs
Sang aloud with songs
Sometimes, quietly listened to the songs
When pearls of tears crept out of her eyes
Running through her cheeks and when touched her lips
A smile slowly crept in!
Music – made her live
Her room was the ‘home’
And music was her life
The radio died one day
And the room went silent
Silent, dead silent!
Silence suddenly took over her love
Silence suddenly took over her life
Silence – She hated
But now, all that she had was silence
And the good old radio gone forever
Dead and gone
And silence – ALIVE!

The doors close

Closed are the doors behind

Light i walk in search of

Love stands behind the doors

And i close the door, reluctant

But, light i need to walk in to


For that is what i have to do

Against what i really want to do

Love, i say – I will wait for you

But my love does not love me

I will wait for the day when

You would hold me dear in your arms

I walk into light, reluctant

Knowing you never loved me the way i did

But i’d still wait to see the day

If you could hold me close to you

Where i would feel every breath of yours

Love, there you stand behind the doors

My doors will never close for you

I now have to walk in search of light

For that is what i have to do

My last breath would wait to see

The door open behind me

Where i would see your shadow move ahead of you

To reach for me, where our shadows would meet

Till that day, i would wait

Just for you, in the light

The doors close behind me, reluctant.
