Silences Reborn #1

Hush Lover
Come paint my silences
in slow deliberate strokes

Show me not the canvas
where your signature
is a small insignificant scrawl

But drown me
in a plethora of sunsets
violet yielding
and tilting towards Dawn

Hold the rain
falling in crystal droplets
in the hollow of your thirstened palm...
and trace my words
towards the endless..

The clouds await
in eager anticipation
to drench us

Don't you know
the monsoon's always been a silent spectator...

Hush ...

"in a plethora of sunsets violet yielding and tilting towards Dawn". Fabulous imagery in this well-penned write, Sridevi.

yes it is a masterfully crafted poem indeed Sri,. It is very nice to read and very touching... your poem kind of reminded me of Abhinav's latest poem, 'Self Portrait' also.. I felt that the poem is not all dark like some of your other works, but it has that undercurrent tone of melancholy too.
