Silence

The hours of silence are the testimony

To a relationship’s endurance

Where less spoken is more conveyed

The interludes are the assurance

You could relate and regale

Or detach and contemplate

Verbal communication is not quintessential

SWAN IN LILY POND : Ranjit K. Sahu

 

Silently he glances at the lilies

Wading among the fresh livid flowers
Another season of wait and willies
Never ending lengthy summer warm hours

In his  songs  are filled tales of misfortune
No less tragic are his search for a mate
Looking at the flocks, calls with importune
Insisting on his  will to  beat his fate

LOVE WINS ALWAYS - Ranjit K Sahu

 

Life maybe spent waiting for someone close

Or days may pass without a glimpse of love

Vain may seem the cause that a lover chose

Ending in the calls of a lonely dove

What happens with time to men who can say

In the journey among the waves of life

No one has ever knows  fate or it’s  way

A Dreamy night

 This never ending fire is misspelled love,

Buried so deeply in the hearts within,

It Erupts as required for its behove,

Burning the marrow penetrating skin.

I listen to my heart beats growing loud,

As the flames of passion entangle me,

Which volcano can be doused by a cloud,

However dark and clammy the cloud maybe?
