In the silence of her eyes...

Before you read this poem I would like to mention that the title 'In the silence of her eyes' has been taken from a very wonderful poem of my dear friend Mr. Ariz Imam..It enchanted me so much that I couldn't resist myself from stealing it..I am sure he is not going to sue me for this..So here it goes.......

IN THE SILENCE OF HER EYES...

In the silence of her eyes

I see the picture of my life,

so tempting, so cryptic but hazy.

I wish I could see just once

What lies on the other side of the fog

I wish I could decipher one day

what lies in that crypt, But

I am afraid of the fortress that lies

In the silence of her eyes.

Her wet silence says many words

In a language that I don’t understand

Are they those promise that we made

Decimated by this selfish world

Or the fragments of our dreams

Shattered by the worldly myths

Or those lifetimes that we lived

In those few moments we shared.

What are they I don’t know

All I know that I am afraid

Of the salty moisture that lies

In the silence of her eyes.

But I wont let this mystery take a toll

On me, my life, my dreams, my breath.

Will learn that language for sure, one day

And decipher what her silence say.

Will brave the fortress and the fog to

See the picture of my life that lies

In the silence of her eyes
