Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

Silence In Your Voice

Silence in your voice

After the episode of wistful romance
You called to say sorry but you just gasped
And all I heard was unfamiliar parlance.

On the periphery of unintelligible noise
You spoke eloquently of a beautiful evening
As it lingered through our candle-light dinner,

Looking for a dialogue of romantic endeavor
When you alluded to virtues ardent love cares
And once again I let you seduce my desires.

Then you heard the call of an unknown rival,
Embraced with me but embroiled in her dream
Sunken in anguish of sudden sweat and fear.

In your tidings I heard more than you spoke
As tone of your voice made obscure sound
You heard my question but didn't respond.

I got my answer when you wheezed for air
Though you didn't say it, I heard your sigh
Silence in your voice was loud and clear.
