Silence & I Poem by Avik Datta Gupta

I love you sweet silence! …
It was a mere coincidence…!
That I met you…
And found myself so close to you!
Crazy thoughts were always racking my brain..
And I was on the verge of going insane…
When I needed you…my sweet silence…
To loose myself in your sweet fragrance.

They say loving you in a crime! ..
Simply because it is a waste of time!
But I care a damn to what the world says..
You are my love and you’ll always be that way..
You are the source of my inspiration..you are my meditation..
Where I can find myself in you…
Someone close enough to confide to.

Your silent breath caressed my hair..
And soothed me in moments of despair!
You wiped my tears…and you made them roll…
And gave some peace to my body and soul
Remembrances and agonies came by me..
But it was incomplete without your company
You are an integral part of my life..
The driving force that keeps me alive..
Don’t leave me so soon my sweet..
Please don’t cease your own heartbeat!
I need to be under your caring wings!
To discover in life all the good things!
