Revelation

We have heard earlier that speech is silver but silence is golden. Silence is golden they say but when i touched it,alas! It turned to lead,,,all the way this silence quietly stimulated me to make castles in my mind,create dreams of my choice,when i asked for a response i was always awarded with this golden silence, again it persuaded me to knit my dreams, but when the silence broke i was killed,,,cold hands carressed me and the world stood telling that i was loved ,,otherwise why would the hand caresse me ,,,what if the warmth was missing,,,at least the hand was there,,,cold hand,,,i will never trust silence again,,,,

TEARS

I strolled unaccompanied all the way and reached the bridge. I stood there quietly. The cool breeze adored me. I felt as if my heart was waiting for this solitude. It did not even seek my permission. I said,‘ No, please don’t, live deep in my heart and don’t leave me’. But it broke all barriers and made an exit from the eyes. Tears, I call it golden tears, it slide down from my eyes, made way through my cheek and was about to drib down but from nowhere the wind blew and my hair curtained my tears. The river water rushed and I watched it standing on the bridge. My tears made a suicidal attempt and merged with the river. I lost track of my tears but something in me provoked me to cry aloud. I did so, since there was no one to hear me except for the chirping birds waiting for the dusk. I felt pity, ‘Why to suffocate and tie the tears in the heart, why to chain them in me’? I liberated them from the prison of my heart. But now I felt empty. My sweet saline tears left me and got lost in the river. It bade farewell to me.I was still there alone, standing on the bridge searching my tears in the current of river water.

Tears (FROM MY BOOK-DAWN AND DUSK)

Tears

A tearful face is a familiar sight,

Do we discern the reason insight?

Tears have oodles to say,

to articulate oneself in dismay.

Tears visit on many occasions,

Tears seize our human emotion.

Tears are known by different names,

Let us call some of them.

Tears of pride, tears in fear,

Crocodile tears, don’t you dare!

Tears in delight, tears in distress,

tears in company, tears in regret.

Tears of sorrow, tears of joy,

Tears assist, tears destroy.

Tears, a part in our life

Yes, they reside in our eyes.

When called they always come,

And befriend us in shade and sun
