Silence (Ghazal Poem)
I speak in tones of silence. Every detail of me grows in volumes of silence.
Under street lights and wide moon eyes, I can hear your voice against all this. It’s safer in simple silence.
Talk to me honestly, sincerely-meekly. Speak loudly, callously, and harshly-I will drown you out in silence.
I will listen word for word and heart to heart. Just let me have a diamond worth of silence.
Simple child and peculiar I am to listen to every hum waiting to be sung. I’m always drawn to it, my comforting silence.
