POEMS

Cradle view

Oustretched fingers

Contact made with innocence

Clear,confused,question-filled eyes

Restlessly flaying limbs

Smile,spontaneous!

I hear sounds

Zizzle zazzy blend of consonant and vowels

Spitting through drools

From mouthy trials

Once in life-never comes back.


LOUD SILENCE

Her face is pale

Her face is drawn

Filled with visible words

Yet unnoticed.

Neck wells plunged deep

Like a lean damsel

With fat body.

Screams of pain through sealed lips

Heard silently  across the desk.

‘Speak!’  They say.

But try as she may

Her lips remained

Sealed through her screams.
