~ Eternal Reticence ~ 

In the deepest corner of my heart,

resides a longing wish to meet you…

To ask you some quizzing questions;

To hear some of your unanswered replies,

There is much that is unaddressed hither to,

Some concerning you,

Some pertaining me…

But then, it’s agreeable

only if you break your reticence

Your indifferent insensitive eyes are

not acceptable to me

Which creates an eternal impregnable barrier

Leaving the things to go wayward

Communications go awry

And, thus begins the blame game

Where you remain incommunicado

like a perennial stone wall

And my wish remains unfulfilled as ever…!

~Pravin Raghuvanshi
