In your presence I am silent br And in my presence you are. br Between us silence is comfortable. br Is not it itself a proof br That we are bound by affinity. br I am man and you, a woman. br Is not that itself a proof br That it is more than affinity. br Let us not reveal what it means, br To spare us of that embarrassment. br Let us be dumbly intimate. br That intimacy is more sounding; br That silence is more sounding.1 br 11.02.2008br br Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.
