In the olden times,
The long-distance love blossomed
Under the aegis of the handwritten letters.
And with the passage of time,
Even the near ones turned distant
And the love languished.
A splurge of means to express love
Have fallen short of saying
The three magical words.
The grandeur of all the possessions,
howsoever beautiful they may be, are materialistic,
And so never keep a heart tucked to the other
For a long duration.
Those letters exchanged before
Contained the fragrance of affection.
Though they were inanimate
The letters were able to say aloud the intended messages with proper diction.
Such was the beauty of those postcards
Those soft white or maybe, colorful pages,
Which had the love smeared all over it!

How true… I too have fallen by the wayside regarding letter writing / though not to a lover…Mine is by my side. I have a letter written by my father to us children during the second world war in 1939 and treasure it.Emails are not the same…

Reblogged this on bodyandsoulnourishmentblog and commented:
Beautifully worded! I think we have lost the beautiful art of expressing our sentiments in letter form… There was something so romantic about the feel of paper, and the handwritten words were so much more meaningful extensions of the loved one! Beautiful! I am re-blogging this 🙂

I do believe that letters have more power to manifest emotions than the quick texts!

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
