When words cease to express

Beyond the scope of words
lies a feeling
untold, untouched.

Like a breath of fresh air,
It enlivens me, vivifies me,
and yet it remains untold,
b’coz I cannot put it into words.

Without a name, the ‘feeling’
extends into a long, nondeliberate silence.
The silence of Feeling the ‘feeling’
Being One with it!
letting it inside me completely, wholly
and getting Lost within it.

But who dares understand the silence
for what it is?
It is misunderstood, misinterpreted,
wrongly Assumed.

And then, it Grieves, my heart
to see the aloofness that lies between.
To know that ‘It’ can’t be read in my eyes,
can’t be seen in my smile,
can’t be felt with my touch.

Ohh, The ‘feeling’!
Ah, The ‘feeling’!
Untold, unexpressed.
it lies within me
since time Immemorial,
it will lay within me
for ages to come
and here I lie shattered,
broken, unkempt
searching for a word
to name The ‘feeling’
Untold, Untouched!
