Silence and Solitude

Hold my fears,
you caress my dreams
Unfold like a mystery and
bend like the road

Silent my anonymity,
a grimace on false claims
Bring forth the smiles
and nullify the abysmal remains

The jocund feelings
are fast melting
the efforted laughter
is steadily sulking
and
the ongoing pursuit
is relentless
despite
fate's apparent dismay

The exhaustion
that is deeper
the tiredness
more than hunger,
the longing for comfort
that is more than physical

Time for the body
to reach the soul,
reach out in time
and seize control

Is life full of spaces, that makes
living distant after all?
Letting go is hard,
its almost cruel
that something
beautiful must rise
only to fall

Amongst everything else
that is dying,
is hope of it being
like before
Life, no longer recognizable
for what it used to be

The greatest effort
though
is to remain
faithful
to promises and
oblivious to
perishing flames

When will I retain
from all that
I must refrain..
Grieving in silence,
choke the sin
and
not the blow

When I was anonymous
you didn't come to know
and when you did
you didn't show
there ain't to grief
to fight
when you know
you know you'll be alright
and
nothing is ever alright
if silently
one is drawn
without a fight ..
