Pause for a Moment

I’m standing here in absolute silence, you’re too there done with your words,

Let the desires hiding in the eye's corner complete the tale, which was left incomplete, unheard.

The intoxicated words which arose the deadly jokes are fed-up causing the impulsive harm,

This is the moment to cherish the poetic liberty of staying alone and discovering silence which holds the calm.

The nights are disrupted by random dreams which would change with swinging leap,

Let the kind hands caress our worried heads which would arrive and steal our sleep.

The upward looking faces are stiff for exiling their pain in the folds of clouds,

Let the sky rain over the faces to wash their tears and relieve all their wounds.

With what should our bodies be wrapped when clothes of all colours are covered with dirt?

Let’s now step out to splash mud everywhere and embrace true shades of the earth.

Just for the wings were fragile, the longings of heart had been left to decay,

Let’s forget the rules of ages and fly freely to live the life without a delay.

The tour of wishes had many turns where the mountains of answers were build and fell,

Allow us to forget the questions instead and experience what the journeys tell.

In the envelope of our desires, hidden is the map of each and every route,

Now let’s find more in me and more in you, for not long the earth will allow us to be mute.
