Those Unspoken Words Poem by RAJ NANDY

THOSE UNSPOKEN WORDS

While travelling down the road of life,
When we both met just for a while,
My admiring looks and your eloquent eyes,
Those unspoken words all left behind!
So many things kept crossing my mind,
And all those things I longed to say,
Should we meet once more some day!

Then when I saw you the other night,
Under the shopping mall's candid light,
I forgot all that I had longed to say,
And soon you had vanished out of sight!
And later after quite a while,
I found you standing by the sea shore,
My spell-bound looks and those eloquent eyes!
But when I tried to give vent to my feelings
and thoughts,
Which kept accumulating for long within;
Once more I forgot my words and lines,
And they all lay buried deep inside!


Then finally one day in the banquet hall,
I saw you standing wrapped in a pink shawl,
We both met on the rear balcony,
When you said that you loved me!
I immediately recollected all my words
and lines,
Which lay dormant in my heart and mind;
But in those moments of ecstasy!
When I realised you belonged to me!
I became speechless for the moment -
on that day,
For you had expressed everything I had
longed to say!
