Your Picture Spoke a Thousand Words to Me

Your Picture Spoke a Thousand Words to Me

A Poem by Balkaran Sidhu
"

One of September's last beauty that I composed

"
In a place that does not exist for me
In a place that holds no life for me
I found a lost treasure of my youth
Just to lay eyes upon.

There was no feeling of possession
No more rights to call it my own
I looked at it, for sweetest gifts
It had bitter fragments etched into it.

Those eyes they looked pale as Autumn air
Lost in needless rhymes
Metaphors of self-vitality
Those eyes,they spoke to me.

Eyes that echoed light and tears
O that is an art no one can portray
That is the science with her dual nature
Of Human form,
We are after all, the descendants of materialistic waves.

It was a place that once was the home of my beloved
Dejected, deserted, it holds no value
Plateaus of Spring and summer
I only knew two seasons then.

Of Happiness and prosperity
Of love and surrender
I only knew the music of souls
and melodies of peculiar hearts

And then that familiar Smile
I looked at it, I hoped for something 
more than just memory
I hoped for rain over deserted isles.

It was the unraveling of my quantum physics
It was the biological vitality that I looked upon
Its how dearly I have held memories,
close to the heart

My lips stumbled, my heart stuttered 
The thirst of calling all the lost angles
the unbounded desire of
holding that which belonged to me.

It was a dream wrapped in physical memory
Of living and giving
Of praying and portraying

The only beauty I ever saw
was in my eyes, in my heart, in myself.

You used effective word choice and I love how you gave me a vivid picture of what you're saying. The last 2 lines have a great impact. Very well-done! :)

what doesn't exist isn't there
until I write about it
then it's real
not before
HAI!!!

Bal ... poetry is about sharing in the universal experience of the individual ... with the common experiences of everyone else. To exalt the personal and private nature of your own experiences alone makes the reader a spectator ... to your will of gratification. You may want to take a look at that ... if you continue to expect reviews.
