Silence must be heard

hEy! I read this poem somewhere....really liked it so decided to share it with you all :)


S I L E N C E


When the silence came,
Nobody was there,
Nobody to hear the silence

Which was why, (nobody supposed)
There really was silence.

-Jacques du Lumerie

Secret of a Girl

There is a girl I see everyday
Alone at the corner, in the alleyway
An anxious expression is what she wears
Her eyes are always glistening with tears

She stands there all the daylong
Wishes if somewhere she could belong
Her face bears a wan smile
That hides her pain for a while

I took the courage to ask the cause
But she couldn't tell me what it was
Her downcast eyes revealed the pain
When she tried to smile in vain

I understood what she was trying to hide
The sour memories and the broken pride
She hid from me her bleeding soul
Her injured dignity and esteem as whole

She hid from me the people's sins
And smiled with smiles and grinned with grins
She told me the story with her teary eyes
That now she is thru, she wishes she dies!
