In my head



He is
an open book;
but the pages,
are blank.

and I;
I always thought,
that I,
could read them all.

  1. In that case, you could have tried to fill those pages with your beautiful words, and I am sure you did :)

    Hmm. I have some difficulty understanding what you're saying.

    I was expecting:

    He is
    an open book,
    and the pages
    are full
    of words
    that I cannot read

    but I,
    I always thought,
    that I,
    could read them all.

    I can't write poetry or comprehend it, for the life of me.

  7. for an open book there are far too less words. How many marks did you get for this assignment? :D

  8. @orange: if there "were" words, one can at least try,

    but if the pages are blank,
    what then?
    what can you do?

    its like trying to find meaning in a empty painting.

  12. An empty open book, you have,
    which you can still try to reach.
    Worse yet, is a filled tome,
    that you know you can never read.

    Excellent piece of work though :)

  13. I thought I'd left a comment here...
    Anyhow, I'll repeat myself

    This is a masterpiece. I'm not half qualified to say it, but I'll say it all the same- This is extreme maturity.
    The indirect expression (left unuttered) that lies beneath the layer of the more obvious (though equally significant) expression is what makes these lines so priceless.

    Much love,
    Chinmayee.

    im surprised at how accurately you caught the essence of it all,
    minimalism is never my thing, im as eloquent as they come
    but here, nothing more is necessary i felt.

    *Thank you*
