TOUFIQ UL ALAM

When A Book Speaks its Mind

It has been hours, days or, weeks, Perhaps?
Since my Last page has been turned,
Felt the last touch of Love,
Tender.
I remember those intense moments,
When we were together.
Heavy breaths; foaming sobs;
Or, happy laughters.
 
It has been months....or, years, perhaps?
Since you looked back,
held me with you hands,
Kissed me.
 
Silly Me! I am a book lying,
Like many others,
I have been read.
I tend to forget,
That I have nothing new to offer.
 
My stories, or, poems,
Are matters of the past now.
They don't excite you anymore.
So, it has been years, or, decade, perhaps?
Since, you came,
And dusted me.
Worms are eating me alive,
yet, It has been generations... I presume?
Since you have come,
To salvage me last,
From my utter despiration.
 
Silly Me! I tend to forget,
I have nothing new to offer.
So, It has been a century, or, two, perhaps?
Since, a lover came,
To read me anew.

Thumbs up. Haha. I enjoyed this. It's so true that sometimes our words end up in the archives never to be read again. I hope that is not the case for this poem. It should remind us that there are many good poems waiting to be read again and again and again... ~louis

this can be interpreted in so many ways... I wrote it as boy to girl who has lost her interest in him...:D
