Hymn of Silence
Thou caught that?
I did.
How can not thee—
Hear her.
Her fear-ridden claws clutch me onto,
Amid the glaring night.
Snitching my deepest secrets,
Followed by a wallop
Right in the ear.
Gut-lingering walks I go on,
She saunters along.
Letting out ashes of wisdom,
A gentle breeze brushes my heart
Whilst I
Muse under thy luscious
Azure hue,
In the wake of a blossomed dawn.
She chants me “loser,”
As I dip my head into hers
In an attempt to embrace
her delicate emptiness.
At times,
Her voice so scathing—
Pierces through my body,
Knocking on my paralyzed soul.
Bitter yet sweet, scathing and blistering,
fierce but desired.
Other instances,
Her tender, ever-lasting symphony
Quells my grumpy temper,
Rippling into gusts of kisses and
Poisoning my cheek with poise,
Lest I arouse from
Her wildest ecstasies.
No matter when,
Light or dark, left or right,
Nadir or zenith, rise or set
Her hollowness clings to my waist,
Trills around my eardrum and
Limns her body of limpidity.
I do not see her nor scent her nor feel her.
Not even hear her.
Yet she
Is my everything—inexistent but all over.

Let the fine nuances melt your heart. Openly interpret the subtle emotions the poem oozes because even the author found this universal. Could've been a love letter, the recollection of a memorable instance, or a plain display of gratitude towards nature.
