Her heart was laced
With fog and mist;
He wiped it clean
With his amorous touch
And showed her
The sparkling dreams
That languished there
Since years.
The gesture didn't demand
Ounces of intricate words;
It all happened in the
Canopy of a magical silence
With an assuring look
And an invisible thread
That bind their souls together
Since ages.

Very beautifully described Purba. Serene, calm, transcendent... love is all about speaking silence through hearts. It's neither told nor listened but felt.
