Your indifference
is manifest
in the untimely pause
between words
of your sentence
and reveals
the invisible presence
of a newly erected fence…
The heady fragrance
that in its nascence
reeked of permanence
has now been exposed
in its absence
as transient
In the penance of silence
now remains only the essence.…

In the penance of silence

The essence, the stuff
of a thousand realities
woven out of a million dreams
The dream weaver as God
Or as oneself the co weaver of dreams
The fragrance and flavour
Of a billion romances
Unlimited, blissful,or tragic,
The script of a million lives
Or maybe even revealed
In a moment in time
One song one verse, uni-verse.

Of course silence increases the distance. That’s why now only the core remains (in the poem). 🙂
