This had to come, but not so early,
Time was all it needed may be.
Believe you me, I took my time,
But I’m sorry if it came so fast.
To protect you from the hurt of affection;
To protect you from the clouds of illusion,
I say,
I don’t.
I’m sorry.
I’m not hurt.
But the fear prevails,
What if and but.
Would things change?
Or remain the same?
Would there be a void?
An unsaid divide?
Or should I be hopeful, as you say?
And witness the change at the bay?
Hope never dies.
Love prevails.
Muse remains.
Respect shines.
What more?
With a companion in my eye,
I said it all
In silence, of course.

Hi! The problem with poetry is the reader interprets something, and the poet could've meant something entirely different! When I read the poem, I interpreted it as some moment of parting, and what drew my attention was the apprehensions you were having. Its only after reading these comments I realized that it was supposed to be more about silence, which entirely missed in spite of the title and the concluding lines both screaming of silence. But really well written. TC.
ReplyDeleteYou write really beautifully and it's a point very subtly made.
ReplyDeleteSometime silence works better than anything else.
@Ketan-
ReplyDeleteYou rightly identified the exact feeling behind the poem... kudos!!
Silence here was just a mode of communicating the feeling of parting and the after apprehensions, as you mentioned.

Speaking and understanding the untold is so above the spoken in bliss. Silence at times is our greatest strength and on others a symbol of our weakness. So much on the listener, aye?? I was here too, just found my occasion ;).
