deciphering silence …
you and i,
shielded by silence.
barred from ourselves at times.
exiled hearts,
building ramparts.
a wall that may fall.
so, my friend,
lay your head on my chest,
letting my fingers run through your hair,
lulling you gently to rest, as we share our silences,
for life is far too short anyway,
to squander even a day.

Wow lovely lines. Somehow Afzal I am very restless. Don’t remember enjoying the silence when I was in a relationship. Now I am silent while reading a book, but my soul is restless..

I can relate so much with your sentiments, Shalini – I too have been a “restless one” throughout my life – and many times it cost me true relationships and I think it’s something some of us just carry within us. A feeling of never being completely at ease even when at ease – well for me it has meant that a long-standing relationship of love and settling down has eluded me and I really don’t know if that’s a good thing or perhaps adding to the sometimes ‘lonesome’ feeling I feel – but overall it has given me freedom to be myself because I may sound cold but I don’t think we can ever be truly ourselves with another human being – but billions of people in love would disagree. well c’est la vie, mon ami Shalini – warmest wishes and the best to you and to all those dear to you
