Dumb Intimacy Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Dumb Intimacy



In your presence I am silent
And in my presence you are.
Between us silence is comfortable.
Is not it itself a proof
That we are bound by affinity.
I am man and you, a woman.
Is not that itself a proof
That it is more than affinity.
Let us not reveal what it means,
To spare us of that embarrassment.
Let us be dumbly intimate.
That intimacy is more sounding;
That silence is more sounding.1

A subtle emotion...expressed with elan... silence fulfilling, surrounding, enthralling....a comfortable silence of the soul's rendezvous!
