Photos Speak Poem by Nooruddeen Mathilakathveetil

Photos Speak

Rating: 4.3


Dragging me these old pictures
In to my by gone days
They are decayed in course of time, though
The pictures have a lot to speak
Of the love and ardor towards
A girl resided next to my door
But a picture is essential not
For reminiscing about those sweet memories
Of all those love and ardor
As it is solidified as a thick layer of sediment
In the deep depth of my mind
And it keeps on jolting me in my darks
Oh! My Girl, you have never been a girl
In my forgotten corner of mind, thus far,
You are with me, as the shadow of mine
Wherever I am
Ever since you walked off
To reunite in our next birth

Oh! how you still yearn for her. 'solidified thick layers of sediment' and shadow of mine'. Sometimes we are pulled so strongly to another person, it is for a reason and I feel you will meet her, your soul mate in your next lifetime. Expressive writing Nooruddeen. 10 Karin Anderson

those pictures can bring smiles and tears. nice to keep unless they need to be burned, Because of someone new. Never burn the family pictures for they need to be remembered and passed to the young so they know where they come from and you can explain as you see fit even if you embellish on the truth a little. very nice 10+++

You are a rarity among men Who leave the one beside And go behind another To remember to keep To live with in your mind You are united now In this life itself - When She in you resides No need for photographs As she lives in your breath! A very touching and romantic poem Envy of every woman longing for true love! Each word squeezed out from heart Lovingly written in lovely verse. Angel

Yeah, thats why we click pictures don't we? We can't touch memories, so pictures make them tangible! Beautiful poem.
