if you are too tired to speak 
sit next to me 
i am fluent in the language of silence

I too speak without words, mind to mind and heart to heart. I make you listen to my still quiet voice in your soul. A good write, well penned.

Fantastic! One of the most difficult things to do is relationship often is just to sit in silence and listen - just be present to the other, be it God or a loved one. Thanks for this gem.

Dear Mrunalini, Are you listening to my silences of LOVE?

Short and sweet. Love this so much. A few lines packed with a lot of emotion.

Is it really haiku? It shalk be about seasons. Despite this it is good piece

It's not really a Haiku, but a great short poem! (Haiku usually uses a 5-7-5 form, where the first sentence has 5 syllables, the second sentence had 7 syllables and the last sentence ends with another 5 syllables... In your case:

Too ti- red to speak (5 syllables)
Why don't you sit next to me? (7 syllables)
I speak the si- lence. (5 syllables)

But again, poetry is a free world, so your version is great! (just not a Haiku)
