Dust To Dust

many letters
of love
stack unopened
and no eyes
shall ever
view them
so here
they sit as
a lonely
library’s collection
of dust

This is so sad. But it was beautifully written.

Ouch...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I can relate.. I think we all can. Very nice, I like poems that can be so to-the-point without lacking any necessary detail.

Yet they may someday be opened and reread... Just maybe evoking a reminiscent smile...

letters collected
in lonely heart's library
are friends with dust today
but one day
the words will see light
and the world will be bright
yet again


regards
sudhir
