The love letter Leafing through the pages of old tome Touching gently fragile yellow pages I founded love letter wrapped in silk trimming Faint smell of the perfume still lingered of times of yore Scribbled in a hurry ,letters jumping from the paper Galloping ,rushing horses,illegible to comprehend Some marred by the water stain or maybe tears The testimonial of tragic love ,slaughtered by circumstance Reading the parts of it,I wept my own sorrows Comparing thinking of females fateful penned note And myself,modern woman, what action would I take Swapping the places with a hapless maiden Understanding it was her last bow,confession She bid goodbye to lover and world of dreams Forced to marry older,richer man,imposed parents will Stepping ,crushing love,sewing the heart with iron thread Times moved forward ,are they really? Announcing the technical progress,the faster rhythm of life Few things stayed same and one of them is Love Affecting always deeds,the roads taken This accidental tourist from the realm of past Proved universal truth...... by Margaret Gudkov
