LOVE POEMS

SILENCE IS GOLDEN

SILENCE IS GOLDEN


There are dreams that I can’t have,
Memories I can’t share.
Some secrets I can’t reveal,
Some truths I cannot bare.

Some risks I shudder to take.
I can’t whisper some words.
One false gesture, one wrong move,
Can destroy both our worlds.

These paths of love, untrodden,
Scare, yet, enchant me, both.
Slipping on a step in these
Paths, I shall truly loath.

Now I know why is it said
That silence is golden.
Speech may slur that to which I
Am so much beholden.

So, my love, let’s walk silent,
Without rustling a leaf.
Our hearts will yet understand.
It’s my sacred belief.
