Unnecessary Words....

Unnecessary Words

Unnecessary Words they all are
When a child now grown meets a mother
She in expectation of the baby she once cuddled
Finding instead one who faces the world bare chest and eye to eye

Unnecessary Words they all are
When a love meets another when
At a corner of the world, Years down the line they meet
Life and eyes speaks everything that remained unspoken

Unnecessary words they all are
In the parents’ eyes holding a new born
Seeing the light of the world
Fruits of their unison to create a beautiful new world

Unnecessary words they all are
For the solitary rider who stopped at a wayside inn,
Shredded through a wild boar in one of the jungle nights
As he wades past a wide green field on a mild full-moon night

Unnecessary words they all are
For strangers in this world
Who exchange a known glance with an unknown eye
Without knowing if their will be a revisit

Unnecessary words they all are
As the corpse lies, eyes closed
Close ones crying around in bereavement
Or perhaps knowing that their end is inevitable too.

Silence is all I crave, words are all I abhor
Necessities are all I need, Wants I want to shun
Sleep is all I look forward to, walks I am tired of,
Where are you my world – that of Unnecessary words!
