I am Speechless begins this disarming expression

Clueless I grow as I look for a hook on the fish at the Nile

My words have become silent mutterings in the face of perplexity

Soliloquizing with mouths taped with weights beyond me

My lips break from caressing the cold winter

So that the flakes of the snow that fell found a resemblance in me

 

With eyes so weak and uncertain like that of a christened infant

My reflections are mesmerized with assumptions and stale stitches

I have weaved my thoughts with daunting presumptions

And tortured it with all possible reasoning

Just to find plausibility to all the possibilities in my head

 

Still speechless, I deliberately denounce the dawning reality

Pressing for prove and all the unending coincidence on earth

Yet, just like a gazelle in an open alley, mystery persists on speed

From within, I gaze at the atmosphere that had colored the night with darkness

I can only but see with the sight in my soul

 

For my eyes are clothed in its own darkness

The darkness that welcomed light at the hauling of the train

At the station far away in a neighboring city-state

An unforgettable moment of sojourning joy

Oh, yes! It was short-lived

 

Pruned, but later strangled and plucked off from its roots

And kept in the dry sand to wither away

In a desolate arena of unexplainable mantra of cues

I stand to obtain recompense

For all the wasteful times I spent being speechless
