The Poem I Lost Poem by Surayya Abbas

The Poem I Lost

Rating: 5.0


May be it is stupid
But it did happen
Months back
I lost my poem
Seems like eon has gone

May be it is crazy
That my search
Is still continued
For the words
I misplaced

May be it is carelessness
For it could be
A new beginning
Of another poem

May be it is funny
That it slipped away
From my mind
In the tunnel of time

Yet the search is on
I know i will find it again
And put it on a paper
In a way
That it will fill
The lonely space inside me
And take all my pain.

I love this poem Surayya, I have often had this feeling myself and never quite got around to putting it in verse. I hate it when I have a poem in my heart and am nowhere I can quickly write it down. For that reason I carry a pen and paper with me most of the time and have been known to jot down a poem while driving, writing without looking down at what I am writing. Messy but at least it captures those words that if they get away, often are gone forever. Regards on such a special write. Susan

The triad of life's realities has been portrayed very nicely in this poem. The blending of the contents of this triad i.e., motivation for struggle, optimism and acceptance of mistakes we make in handling is just superb. We do lose alot of things in life but a person with positive attitude always tries to recoup and find out the misplaced things and this practical approach has been elloborated in the form of words that you lost but still have a firm belief that you will find them one day. The true essence of the poem reflects a gleam of hope that has to live always no mater what happens.....10/10

You have written this with much honesty and regret. Sometimes we find things when we are not looking for them. Before you go to sleep, shut your eyes and ask if it can come in your dreams and keep paper and pen beside you. If it doesn't come back to you, perhaps you were meant to lose it and find what you are looking for in some other way. Very beautiful work. 10 Karin Anderson

Words sometimes they lose themselves, wandering off into someone elses land. Given time they will return to write even more charming poems like this. Keep writing you are a star in the making.
