The Unlived Moment

When a silent tear cloaks a tortured scream,
When quiet sigh masks a wretched howl,
When a gentle nod suppresses a passionate embrace,
When a distant tomorrow clouds a hopeful now,
When a wistful glance holds a thousand words,
When a million nevers fail to drown one hope,
When a wordless goodbye hides a bleeding heart,
When unspoken words conceal eternal fact,
When mournful pages replace tearful eyes,
When starless nights hold sleepless dreams,
When restless hearts clutch blissful hopes,
When the arms of another are all one needs,
When time and tide changes all one knows,
When love and loss come together in suite,
When empty nights harvest broken souls,
When yesterday lives in constant review,
When cold dark streets call out one’s name,
When the winds whispers are kisses on the ear,
When another’s touch is never the same,
When love brings longing and longing brings fear,
When wealth in heart is poverty of mind,
When pride is forsaken at self’s expense,
When life is too hectic to allow one time,
To grasp forever in the glimpse of a moment.
When regrets of the youth play on before death,
And solitary hands wrinkled with age,
Turn pages of one’s life in reminiscent sequence,
And saline teardrops stain the page.
Then would you miss what could have been,
And the silence would become the loudest scream,
Of words unsaid and immaterialised dreams,
And a life without the courage to change destiny.
