The Answer Poem by Avinash Nair

Do I love you?
Is that the question?
I'll let the Silence answer that.
And the Silence follows.
Silence was always there
Between us, in our past.
I believe, it will be there
In all our tomorrows.
For we have exchanged it
In the colour of the night,
In between our lips
In the form of a kiss.
Many a times,
When all we had above us
Was the insurgent sky.
We have survived on it,
For days and days,
When we walked
Our solitary ways.
I think Silence is who we are
When we shed our
Flesh and bones.
And to your question,
The answer is, what
The Silence holds.
