Sohini Mukherjee Poet Sonnet

Burnt Pictures

Friends and foes it burns alike
Immune to it no one can be
Ruining precious memories I like
Eternal though they'll stay in the heart of me

When black ashes on the floor I found
Silent tears followed the sorrow
Losing all hope I squat on the ground
Weeped in despair of no tomorrow 

Although its possible to buy new ones
Frames and cups that were burnt
But where will I find the memories gone
It was the biggest lesson I had learnt

He was no more, nor were his pictures
All I was left with were burns and no fixture

Jill Spagnola April 19, 2016 at 3:26 AM WOW!!In the Jungle Book, it was called "the red flower" Your piece is beautiful sadness for me. I know what it's like to lose those physical memories captured in pictures...I keep a sound mind the best I can, cause no one can take my mental jewelry...My heart feels your torrid emotions through your pen...I send you peace, love, & light across the Universe wherever you may be, jill Sohini Mukherjee April 19, 2016 at 3:29 AM Thank you so much for your kind words Jill. I'm so glad you liked my poem. Indeed memories once lost only leave behind a mental jewellery for only me to cherish. But the physical evidences once lost make u feel even lonely.
