Silence...

























Silence...


"You don't need no words to say you're in love"



Silence is...

the most truthful confession,
the most candid expression,

the quest of an innocent victim,
the answer to an exhausted pilgrim,

the memory of the departed,
the anxiety for the awaited,

the feeling of danger,
the company of a stranger,

the wordless admiration,
the unstated competition,

the most honest proposal,
the most vicious refusal,

the most romantic conversation,
the most brutal humiliation,

in the waiting of a date,
in the arms of a mate,

in the beginning of a cry,
in the end of a lullaby,

in the kiss of a lover,
in the hug of a mother,

the pride of a father,
the envy of a neighbour,

the strength to deny,
the need to comply,

the courage to question,
the needlessness to mention,

the concealed storm,
the unspoken norm,

the most dreadful threat,
the most earnest regret...


Silence is not when you don't have words....its when you don't need them.

v very gud man!just the only point which i feel u cud make better or may b i didnt understand the harmony of them were-the kiss of the lover
the hug of a mother....
thy both seem to me to be very different kinds of expression of love..but may b coz ur a guy they r more harmonious coz the mother is the first woman in life n thn comes ur lover..

@elizabeth: hey thanks for the comment :)
yeah u're right....there's a difference between the two kinds of love....and infact that's what i've tried to put forward in every "pair" of meanings of silence...though here i suppose there is less "contrast" between the two meanings.
