Your silence

 (Dedicated to the year 2008- and the people i met that year)

I find your silence breathing to me.

The moment I bend my head in despair

I feel your silence breathing on my neck.

In sultry nights, on untouched bed,

I sense your silence stretched across.

Of hundred things I assume every day,

I love to see your silence looking for the real me.

In crowded roads and suffocating metros

I feel your silence comforting me.

Your silence hangs around all the time

-Disobeying laws of motion and those of gravity.

Your silence makes dreary roads enchanting again.

Your silence remains everywhere.

Intact like the veil of burka

Or like my shadow never abandoning me.

Your silence holds me up again.

-Hugs me, when I need a touch.

Are you there?  I
never enquire.

Your silence follows me everywhere.
