Silence

Sitting so close to you I seek the meaning of love
In the luster of your eyes.
What I see I can’t say but feel through silence,
Blissful silence.

Staying far from you I seek the meaning of love
In the sheen of the moon
What I see I can’t say but feel through silence,
Painful silence.

Thinking so deep of you I seek the meaning of love
In the sea of our lives.
What I see I can’t say but feel through silence,
Willful silence.

What the River Says

The river whispers into my ears
In several deep voices
Sorrows of a lifetime,
Happiness of a wink’s time.
Greedy spades are still at work
They dig her chest deep and deep.

The river unveils before my eyes
In several mystic ways
Treasures of a whole life,
Loot of a single night.
Dirty eyes are still on her
They strip her body stark naked.

The river brings to my notice
In several unseen ways
Food for a lifetime
Waste of a lusty lunch
Hungry jaws are still at work
They chew her flesh more and more
