Unraveling an enigma

One moment I see an expanse of wit & humour

The next moment, an epitome of silence

Reminds me of a heart wounded & scarred

And a soul that’s searching for something

I wonder what?

I stumble upon the thoughts he’s penned,

Beyond the ordinary… masterpieces

He has the makings of a genius

Yet all of it is a secret

I wonder why?

When I expect a straight-from-the-heart response,

He throws at me, one devoid of all emotion

I wish I could tear the façade apart

And get a glimpse of what lies beneath…

I wonder how?

I wish he would look around,

Believe in the magic of trust

And give his heart a chance… Set it free

I am sure he’ll come around

I wonder when?
