Unsung Verse

What's behind the terse, unspoken sound One that abruptly inserted a period Invoking a sigh in the middle of a sentence Was it the uneasy voice of her heart's lyrics Announcing your song is still incomplete Or ambivalence of despondent music Reluctantly strumming devoid of melody Perhaps it’s time for your bashful words To complement echo of the unsung verse Disclosing explicitly to her anxious world: You saw it in the smile of her cheerful eyes And heard it from symphony of dulcet vibes And felt it in the ballet of her delicate touch When she held you close in an intimate hug While mellifluous whispers of love spoke December 8, 2021

This poem is a masterful exploration of the unsaid, delving into the subtle nuances that linger in the silence between words... The opening lines ponder the enigmatic nature of an unspoken sound, one that unexpectedly inserts a period and evokes a sigh, disrupting the flow of a sentence. This sets the stage for a reflection on the deeper layers of emotions and the unarticulated aspects of communication...

A pause and a sigh.... It could suggest so many things. More than the words uttered, such a silence creeping in troubled his mind... but at the end all anxieties and doubts were quelled when she held him in a tight embrace, whispering words of love! A poem with an intriguing opening, but ending in a note of euphoria!

Vijay Pandit
Date: 12/9/2021 7:28:00 AM

She was looking for reassurance as love sometimes does-hence the pause and a sigh. Much appreciate your insightful comments, as always, Valsa. Many thanks.
