Conversation

We crossed each other a million times
in a million times that we met
we met only once truly 
speaking words of silence
 spoken
unspoken -
a conversation!

The eyes hatched out all excuses,
the lips quivered  to unleash dark secrets,
the hands far, distant 
cold, dare not even handshake.
The all new you
the all new me
stood quietened by the all new us -
a dead dismal stiffness-
this conversation.
