Say..

This is a poem that was actually a random conversation with a friend (who also happens to be a compulsive ranter) on one slightly drunk night. It all started  with a question - 'Given a chance, without having being judged or the worrying about what people might think.. what would you say to someone you've been meaning to pour out your heart to?'. Suffice to say, i didn't really 'say' much, but this is how it wound up...

If, today, you'd have nothing to lose

What would you say?

Would you fill in the spaces between silences?

Or simply stand as today walks by?
Would you say a thousand words,

Like pearls found only after diving deep?

Or like those sunsets that we have known to be,
but never seen..Until the dawn sets in?

Would what you say be like the raindrops

that touch a pane and glisten like diamonds?

Won't they still slide away?

Would the rest then become the rainbow,

that would rend the air?

Say what you mean, mean what you say..

Could be just one or three if you may,

With an open mind and empty heart I come..

You've nothing to lose today.. 

So, Say.. Just... Just say.
