The Warmth Behind the Inked Words

By Ayesha Khatun


Words inked on paper
Holds passion and quiet confessions
Which cannot be voiced out loud

Each careful choice of words
Uneven sentences
Reflect a soul that is alive

Feelings curved with ink
On paper
Like a person leaving behind
A piece of their soul

A handwritten message
Like a warm embrace
After a weary day

Ink between folded pages,
Unraveling a soul
That quietly yearns

Years later,
In a corner of a drawer
Tucked between a notebook
Folded letters finds us once again

Forgotten memories starts to resurface
Like it never really faded
Even in the silence of the room
