Silent Stream

Day-19 OctPoWriMo-2018
Prompt: What do you want? (Form: A chant)






I know you want to say a lot more
And still, you don't say a word.

Your silence speaks louder than words
And still, you don't say a word.

There is a roaring rhapsody, beating in your heart
And still, you don't say a word.

I can feel the distant dreams of desire
And, still, you don't say a word.

There is a wall in between, which binds and separates 
And, still, you don't say a word.

You want to enjoy the short and sweet moments
And, still, you don't say a word.

So many desires erupt in the honeyed nights
And, still, you don't say a word.

Time is short and  the heart wants to surrender
And, still, you don't say a word.

Listen! Love cannot bloom in silence
And, still, you don't say a word.

  2. Sometimes we learn to be quiet because we're always shot down when we reveal our true selves.
