SILENT EMOTIONS



I wanted to be with you forever,
But then I saw you with her,
She, your lover,
You, the ardent admirer,
I withdrew,
My feelings for you still stand true,
I swim in the pink and mauve of passions,
Flow around like a charged cation.


Unable to express,
My emotions suppressed,
The body on fire stands still,
Water pouring on it just sizzles,
Not able to chill,
Although I drink to my fill,
My throat is still dry,
The two eyes unable to cry.


The eyes full of brine,
Though they want to cry and whine,
The brine trying to make them wince,
The time they saw you since,
The throat holds a painful lump within,
Of all the unspoken words and a din
Of all the silent emotions,
Raising a huge commotion.


The heart wanting to burst and split,
Chooses my ribcage to quietly sit,
Locking all love for you inside,
All its feelings just died,
The warm blood rages
But chooses to stay courageous 
And quietly stay caged in the veins,
Silently suffering the pain.



My muscles ache for your touch,
The aching feelings make them sedated as much,
The pulsating fingers against the glass turn numb,
They too know you will never come
Back, the air inside turns dumb too,
Flowing away fast like the fading dew,
The anger in me put down to rest,
My helplessness at its best.



My love is within  your breast too,
Why cannot I say,"I love you",
My skin has lost all sensation,
My face stony, without any fleeting reaction,
Silent is my love and ardour,
Frozen all zeal and fervour,
All my emotional upheavals are silenced,
Stay dumb, muted and quietened.
