Good Bye Tomes Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Good Bye Tomes

Rating: 5.0


Tomes!
there was a time when you guided me,
you did a wonderful job by keeping me in control,
you saved me from mental disorders,
and many foolish acts.
When I came to know love is my only instinct,
and all other instincts are slaves of love,
and now when I fell in love with beauty,
I find beauty is enough for me,
and it's scattered not only on the earth,
but all over the universe,
space less,
timeless,
and,
bounds less!
Now I don't need a tome,
So with love I bid farewell to you.
Good Bye Tomes!
(Here is my new poem Bri Edwards, and you inspired me to write it)

Good bye tomes, a wonderful idea, Beyond a point one needs no books, nor scriptures, Take one good attribute in life and pursue diligently, as you said, love, beauty, truth could be one, one quality leads to another, and another, and one can reach the crest. well said.
