THE UNSENT LETTER

While wandering through my gray flashbacks

Found something sacred but noiseless

Wooden drawer in an unlighted corner

Have secreted an unsent letter

My eyes got curious and heart grew uneasy

I stretched my palm which was all sweaty

I calmed myself and opened the chest

The budding storm in my heart did the rest

An unaddressed letter waiting for my touch

unsaid Words were hoping for my vouch

I opened the envelope,took the letter out

Suppressed feelings was all ready to shout

That dusty yellow page dragged me to back

the unsent muted letter was in my hand

I recalled that sleepless night...

The moon in the South was shining bright

The sky was dark and the ground was white

Snow flakes adorning the wintery night

I was busy writing a masterpiece....

A warmest confession from my heart

But you and me were miles apart

That blank piece was craving for ink

And my icy cold cheeks were becoming pink

There was so much I wanted to say

The dark blue ink showed me the way

You were the shore to my crazy waves

A glance of yours was all my heart craves

You were a soothing breeze to cheer my soul

Having an appealing smile just like a magnetic pole

You were the spring to unfold the fresh buds

Spreading vibrant hues which my heart loved

Giving me warmth even in the coldest winter

emotions got flooded in that honest letter

But lack of courage hitched my letter

And i put that into my hidden drawer

       Once all my feelings were in that paper

And my heart was bustling in fear

Now the faint words are noisily shouting

And it reminds me the unexpressed feelings

Which was once curbed and buried

That deep and hidden love is now in sight

And now after decades....

that sacredness has been constant

Stuffing happiness in that  moment

Memories are cherishing that sacerd love

  an unknown tear drop makes my lip curve

You are still in my thoughts and prayers

And undoubtedly hidden in my  poems...

"Things end but memories last forever".When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. 

Here I have described a letter which was never posted. A confession which was never made in person. But the sacredness remains constant even after years. When the person finds out that unposted letter, flashbacks are made.Now those unsaid words are somehow cheering those memories . And the memories are cherishing that sacred love.
