Poem Title:
Poem
They say a picture Is worth a 1000 words, Yet the realisation that all I have left are pictures Actually Renderes me speechless Apparently the adage is actually meant that complex and sometimes multiple ideas can be conveyed by a single still image, which conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a mere verbal description. And I have to agree that a picture does convey more meaning or essence than a mere verbal description, However, a picture does not capture your inner essence or uncover ones hidden encryptions, You cannot smell that personal scent we each have through a still image, It doesn't talk to me like you did, or laugh with me, or at me, I can't hear your voice through a still image, It doesn't capture a true unprovoked instructed smile like you smiled, It doesn't capture the little annoyingly annoying things you'd do, That only now I truly miss, A picture isn't the same as walking in and you being right there in front of me in the flesh, A picture doesn't even come close to that in comparison actually, It may be worth 1000 words, but I'd give up those words or any picture, To have you back here even just for an hour or a half or even a minute or two, Just so I could say thank you, for being the very best you could be, and doing the best you could do, I'd say all the things that were never said so stupidly because of pride and ego, although it seems so ignorant now, Id tell you how much I loved you, something I never said enough, I'd say it all before, it was to late to say it at all, And I'd snap just one last selfie of us together, because I never even noticed that I've only 1 picture of you and I together, And now it's to late to take anymore. But if I could I'd snap on more shot Because I would no, That eventually you'd still have to leave again and go, But at least I'd have my picture that is worth 1000 words, I wonder how it would read Would it be about you or me, or maybe even just the scenary? Or would it be about when you came down from heaven to visit me, And left me a picture worth 1000 words to tell the story.
