When the Audience Falls Silent
act 1
At peak of rhetoric, grim emotions,
tear drops build in blinking eyes with passion,
on his knees stiletto to end it all,
with his own guilty hands he would fall,
a deathly silence greets the hall!!
act 2
“Don’t go! please stay!” she bemoans, pleads with love,
his stony heart yields not, he gives a shove,
on the ground she falls in dust and sorrow,
loses heart- for there is no tomorrow,
grief greets silence in every row!
act 3
the moment when truth is to be revealed,
heart beats faster and every lip is sealed,
she indeed is mother of orphaned child,
life events unfold as by fate compiled!
suppressed, quiet, but tears supplied!
epilogue
human nature to feel when pain bothers,
we shed tears with suffering of others,
interlinked we are in an unseen mesh,
united in thought, divided in flesh,
reason why audience goes hush!
