LAST NIGHT

It was a moonlit night
A few moments ago
And now it rains-
Did anyone hear the heartbreak
Of silence?

The tiresome day had gone off to sleep
Listening to the lullaby of dusk
The night tiptoed
With her intoxicating
black tresses.

The crescent moon and the north star
Flirted in the garden of clouds
The wind was dozing off
In the company of silence
Whose heart murmured a song.

Did anyone hear the song?
Did anyone hear the outburst
Of a forgotten emotion?
Did anyone see the blooming
Of the first tear in that corner of the heart?

The rains took the clouds by surprise!
For it originated in the heart
The eyes too weren’t ready
As the song floated
In an ocean of nostalgia.

Probably the cry was deafened
By its own echo
Has anyone ever heard
The heart of silence
The cry of silence?
