LOVE LETTERS

Updated: Oct 21, 2023

(poem by Soumya)

I can’t write love letters

No, I’m no cynic, skeptic, or pessimist

I am die hard romantic

But I can’t write love letters


I can express

With words

One word

Couple of words

pages after pages,

Drafts, Books, thesis, analysis

But I can’t write love letters


I have well built vocabulary

Have Oxford dictionary,

Thesaurus

History of language

Fluency in many

But I can’t write love letters


I have functional hands and resources to write

People take my advise to write

To express their desires, thoughts, and not

But I can’t write love letters


Me writing I love you, isn’t new

I loved you since ……oh you know

I love you because …..oh you know

I love your ……oh you know

I can’t love anyone more than you ….oh you know

Oh!! That was a lie ….you know

I love her more than you….oh you know

But how can’t I ….she is a part of you….oh you know

I can’t write love letters because you know


You see and feel my love

With your eyes

In my touches

In those acts

In those fights

In these distances

In those expressions

Not words but actions

I can’t write love letters!!
