Memories that bring smiles are forgotten
when someone makes us laugh.
But memories that bring tears in eyes
are never forgotten,
such memories accumulate.
And tears do not know the balloon
has a limited space
it will burst.
How much it can inflate!
Nicely written. The readers can grasp the emotional touch and can easily empathise with the poet. Thanks for sharing.
Forgetfulness is temporary. Memories come out of mind to bring emotion, tear and smile. We can never forget special moments in life. As per my opinion this poem which is written nine years back still remains in mind as an excellent piece of memory. Very beautifully crafted this is.......10
About nine years ago I wrote these lines while I was in CCU after a heart attack and forgot it. Thanks to Geetha Jayakumar's poem Eyes When Opened In Slumber, I recollected the forgotten lines.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
A thoughtful write! There is a limit for us to endure the sorrows, beyond which one is likely to burst!
