My Unspoken Words Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

My Unspoken Words

Rating: 5.0


The morning sky is cloudy
The on-rushing wind muddy
It says- today's events tardy-
Expects things unfriendly

I need to know a few things,
Not everything incoming
My brain says it is willing
To provide me with pruning

I must leave out all misgiving
That could make me soaked up
Guard off tricky soap bubbles
That could burst, lathered up

I quit intended words of mine
My confusion, along with
Put them shut inside a bin-
Noway they come out, grin

I must remain transparent-
Like water inside the goblet
Metaphors are translucent-
They speak a shadow dialect

Many things we hear.Some give us a feeling of upliftment while some other may drown our spirit.So choose what gives you good feelings.A beautiful poem, thanks for sharing.

A wonderful poem! John Keats wrote in his Ode to Grecian Urn, 'Heard melodies are sweet but those unheard are sweeter'....
