For… – Suchitra Devi Potsangbam

For…

the words

trapped in my thoughts,

the senses

camouflaged in my eyes.

Silence awakens

That love I had wrapped up

In the recesses of my heart.

It engages

The thoughts I had kept buried

In the deepest fold of my mind.

For…

the promises

clenched in my fists,

the dreams

throbbing in my heart.

Silence speaks

Words that tug at my heartstrings

With a sigh, a teardrop.

It breaks open every knot

And makes its way

Bringing me to me.

For…

the love

flowing to be felt,

the search

is within and beyond.
