Let there be no music




Let there be no music
For sometime let it be silent.
Let it settle down
A little, it has been so violent.

The cries of the hero
Longing for his love he lost.
Or the band’s drumbeats
On the floor, cheering raise a toast.

Tune off the radio,
Let there be no sound.
Knock off the earphones
They give my head a round.

You ask for a jazz?
Or skip from pop to rock,
Spare me the Raga, I’ll
Even shove away the filmy dock.

Melody melts as venom, in
My lonely self and a bottle of rum,
For I have walked miles and months,
And the iPod’s been the sole hum.

Tune it off for the
Hero’s croon; love makes me cry.
Knock off the earphones, for the
Revelling beats give nostalgia a try.

Let there be no music
For sometime let there be no noise,
Hush, I quite like this silence,
Please, I just wait to hear a voice…

romil's right...need to overcome it...i face it too. we always relate a memory/time with a song. and whenever we listen to it it brings back those memories attached...
be happy that these are fond ones...

i'd always added in my teachings, 'easier said than done'

For the first, second and last stanza: I like the way you described the intensity with which you want a deep silence when you know that you are not going to get that and your heart is just waiting to be hit with the most expected words without any sound and that will sway every drop dew in the garden of your mind.
