Between us,
the cold silhouette
of silence,
chewing the end
of night’s sequinned shawl,
swatting stubborn debris
of impossible expectations.

“the cold silhouette
of silence”
This is so true… if there is silence between two people… the tension seems to build up and the relationship goes out of control..!!
Your poem passes off this message in a strong and powerful manner of imagery..!!
Loved it 🙂

I felt a shiver when imagining that scene you had painted in 140 words…Sad when life is passed by in silences..

You are very kind. Thanks a ton for your support. Chocolates are pretty bad for health, they say, so watch out!!!
