Why do you not cry?

Paraphrased from the Hindi poem "Dil akhir kyu rota hai" written by Javed Akhtar.

Moistened eyes,

hiding the tinge of sorrow

and element of lonliness...

Unformed words,

unspoken feelings and fears.

Like the silence of

your perfume, the wind

wafts along

your heaving breath

and your heavy heartbeats.

Your restlessness

is measured by the

rustling of the leaves.

Yet, I hear you

chiding yourself again,

reminding that pain

and joy are but two

facets of our lives;

and regardless

of the moistness of your eyes,

you shed no tear!
