A Sealed Chapter

Hey peopleeeee! Its been so long since I last posted anything here. I haven't been writing for awhile. To be honest, at one point, I felt lost. I lost the motivation and inspiration to write. And its such a torture because writing has always been something I love doing. And for me to feel like I've lost touch with one thing that I love doing the most was kind of depressing.

But I tried to find it back.. To find it back from people around me. To find it back from my surroundings. And thanks to poetry classes that I somehow got motivated again. Here is a poem that I recently wrote, and I thought of sharing it here as well instead of just keeping it in my book.


A SEALED CHAPTER


You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
Like the wind that has long gone spinning,
Like the leaves flying away taken by the breeze,
Like the waves on the shore returning to the sea.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
The inks that cannot anymore be erased,
The pages that have been sealed,
The written words that cannot be removed.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
Words that I still keep close to my heart,
Words that I hope you would utter,
Words that I will always remember.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
That I wish I could rewrite,
That I wish could be undone,
That I wish I did not even start.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
A part of me that has long been lost,
A part of me that I don’t want to recall,
A part of me that I wish had stayed.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
Like the flowers that have lost the scent,
Like the river changing its flow,
Like the raindrop that has fallen on the ground.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,
The one that forever will be sacred,
The one that I will always keep as a secret,
The one, my favourite.


I started writing this poem months back but was never able to finish it. I completed it just a few days ago while sitting in the library with Salman and Nasreen with me. Its not that you guys inspired me or anything :P  but thank you for always being by my side. And to my Izzy too! And I have to give credits to Sara for helping me in coming up with the title. I love you peeps <3
