V. Deepa Poet Free verse

Silence Swaps Vexation

I have realised shortly that "silence"is one of my 
defence mechanism.
At times when sprayed by anger I drape my 
outfit silence.
Yes, I veil my emotions with quietude.
There are lot of aggression boiling inside 
powerful mind which is compressed in 
my conscience.
When somebody don't value my words 
I don't argue, instead ignore them and 
prefer being silent.
Soundlessness combined with darkness 
often impresses me and brings solace.

                           Life is full of frosty
                    thorns while you 
                try adjusting 
         with irresistible 
       people and 
        their place.
        The only way 
            to smoothen 
                   the spines is to
                        smear them with
                                 your calmness
                                        and patience
                                               only up to
                                                  the extent
                                                  that you can
                                                 bear.If those
                                               don't turn into 
                                        petal soft then,
                                slice and smash
                    them with single dare
              without any care.
