Unheard Silence

The rays splintered the clouds lighting up the sky,

White pearls are seen shimmering on distant tides,

The sun is rising slowly sneaking up like a spy;

A heavenly spectacle for hundreds of eager eyes.

There came a man sprinting along the seashore,

Extremely apathetic towards this marvelous sight.

Stopping short, he began thinking about his life before -

The tears started to trickle down his face, shining bright.

Life was beautiful until it abruptly came to a dead-end,

Unaware of the strange silence which had been growing,

The days which passed on like ages, were hard to spend

Without a word from his love, left him in tearful longing.

The long-lasting quest for his lost love was fruitless,

It only brought back fond memories of their hearts -

Beating together as one, without a speck of darkness;

Although they were more than a thousand miles apart.

Anger took control and made him insanely confused -

When he searched for answers and didn't find any clues.

"Where did it all go wrong?" he cried, with a raging temper.

"I don't know." his heart said, with a trembling whisper.

The loneliness had crushed the heart he owned;

Which was never felt when his mind was all alone.

Never had he sensed before, this intense need of care -

Until his heart had a place for a dear one out there.

Not only was this sound of silence was never heard before,

But also the gloomy undertone of being completely ignored.

As time flew by, his mind got lost in the barren desert -

Unable to savor joy; unrequited love left him badly hurt.

Sinking in painful thoughts, his mind began to groan,

Yet he stood firm staring at the sea without a cry.

While the heart was burdened by the unknown,

Reminding him of his love and its unspoken goodbye.

He kept looking at the sun rising out of the billows,

Illuminating his tears which relentlessly flowed;

They reflect my soul; as I watch a boat far away,

I hope that my eternal silence will be heard one day.
