Mustofa Munir Poet Prose Poetry

Gray Silence

I have gotten the deepest meaning of 
Your pronounced words, 
Now then, remove your veil of gray silence,
Whisper to me or scream at me! 
I am longing to hear all your words—
Secret or revealed,
Not so long ago we jostled the crowd
To meet each other like
Big billows of the sea dashing over the rocks
With profound ruthlessness, 
Like blue water in a lagoon riddled by the 
Prolonged chorus of ducks,
Like echoes of shrieking albatross on
The belt of pines across the sea,
Like tempestuous wind of the north,
So, remove your veil of gray silence now and
Whisper to me or scream at me!

Laura Leiser April 16, 2019 at 10:50 PM Your metaphors and meanings are wonderfully expressed in this powerful poem, Mustofa. I can relate to the subject matter personally right now, because I have a sister who has gone silent on me ( emotionally distancing). Anyway, this is a fave for me! Mustofa Munir April 17, 2019 at 8:37 PM Thank you so much. So nice of you appreciating my poem. I feel your feelings. Hope everything will be fine soon.
