Silence.

When it hurts really bad
soundless become all screams
The most familiar silence
is the noise of shattering dreams
The one who weeps the most
has a tearless eye that gleams
The most painful silence
is the one that knows what it means.

Arey! Maine kaunsa apka mood kharab karne ke liye likha tha :(
Mat pada karo yar, apki khushi zyada imp hai. Apko kasht dene ka koi shauk nahi.

Many a time when I think of commenting on your poetry, words fail me. They fail to match the intensity of your poem. After putting in a lot of effort to carve a good positive comment, I dump the idea altogether :)

I'd give you a hint. When I'm intense, be subtle. And vice versa.
And you shall win.

But oh, I love surprises. ;)

silence is a very precious, treasured commodity, something whose ownership is fiercely fought upon. it means, just so much. :)

--indeed it is..wonderfully written..

Falling short of words...as usual. Just wanted to let you know that it touched me deeply.

Silence is weird, sticky, fricative
The tongue gets stuck in the roof of the mouth
If you're all 'in there', you'll never know what's out
So give up your silence; it's worth a shout!

;P

Cheer up!!!

Thanks a lot, for the visit and the comment. :)

Beautifully quoted. And true to. There are somethings so delicate that using words to express them completely corrupts them. As if no form can ever do justice to their existence.

well, thanks.

I am glad, but I wonder what would make a mistress like you fall short of words.

[akshay]
lol
Yeah, sometimes a scream is very liberating. Fricative silence eh? Nice.
