The magic in his fingers
He explored and unearthed
The feelings she never known
To have in her.
And, now, his eternal smile
Stuck in the photograph
Along with her soul
She used to have.

Beautiful words. The poem and photo seem to be speaking of how beauty and love are fleeting. There’s nothing quite as wonderful as a man with magic fingers. 😀 xo

Beautiful poem with a happy start and a poignant second part. Gives the impression that the person might be gone forever – and keeps the reader wanting that somehow the second part should loop back to the first.

You have subtly captured the true essence, perhaps of a broken and bruised heart, time has flown and things are resting peacefully in the framed photography. Apparently, something deeply profound hidden behind the expression and the finer nuances wonderfully weaved within those limited and well selected words. There is smile, there is magic and indeed there is a beautiful soul behind this story…

What a poem, Mani. So deep, and so emotional too. It sounds like it speaks of a love lost…maybe a love lost of unfortunate circumstances, or a love lost because of another person and we didn’t want to happen – or above all, we can’t get over a certain someone. Sometimes we can’t help the way we feel, and it takes time to get over someone…if we ever get over them at all. Keep writing. Your words are so good 🙂
