Salvaged To Silence

Have you ever been afraid of some thing?

Obviously, you have been. This is such a lame thing to ask! Okay, lemme rephrase it for you ... hmm ... lets try again:

Have you been afraid of something that doesn't exist outside your mind?

Now this got a bit tricky, aint it?

You bet!

Silence, at times could be such a thing ... Frightening. Haunting.

The usual lovers' discourses that take place between Love and a throbbing chest in silence, begin to shy away from solitude. 

One hunts in search of brash sounds to drown into. Like a loser lover heading to a pub for a cheap fix to douse his flame. or Candle.

What an unworthy trade!

Seriously.

Words. Words. Words.

And all devoid of the Purpose.

Meaningless sounds, too many of them.

Wasted momentss that could be spent in communion with the Beloved...

And as my heart grew heavier, burying down deeper under the rubble of the forlorn days... Yes, there has been one pick in these evenings.....

A few couple of moist smiling eyes and a gentle, soft, oh-so-tender whisper (-turned-kiss) "leenah aunty... ap bohat sweet hain... "

At times, a genuine heart felt smile is all you need to get back in touch with your own self. And the silence. And Beloved.
