The reason behind equalling Pen to lips and Paper to heart is that, heart is very fragile like a piece of paper, and the lips from where we make the words come out are very sharp. Like the way, in a normal course of life, the paper looks good as long as we are writing on it with the pen gently. The moment gentleness fades away, the paper starts deteriorating. Similarly our heart is also very fragile like a paper, and if we don’t get or write words on it through our lips gently then it will get broken. That’s the essense of poetry. You will get your ideas from their eyes, and you will find words from their lips and eventually she will be engraved as a poetry in your heart, which is the paper here.
Wintertide means the times when winter subsits. We all want the winters to affect us in the ways we desire, be it in an unsympathetic way for some, or in a comfortable forgetting way for others. Winters don’t last forever. I want the winters to not last eternally, for I am waiting for my sunshine to arrive, bringing the warmth of her soul and I just want to sleep in her lap. (Spring).
I don’t want the winters to go away yet. For I still want to write about you, keep writing about you, every dusk and dawn, with a cup of tea in my hand, coffee sometimes. Winters make me make up stories about you and about how I did not fall in love with you, rather I fell in love with the idea of believing you. These stories give me words to write poetry about you and if winters are gone, where would my words come from. Like water, land and light is essential for the survival of humankind, Poetry is needed for the existence of Love, hope and magic.
You find poetry in winters and poetry comes to you in winters. Poetry is everywhere. Your hand is the ink, your eyes are the words, your lips are pen, and your heart is the paper. Believe me at last, You are the Poem.
What about the world? The world stays in its limits in winters to not disturb me while writing poems for you, about you. This “Now” is all that I have to keep writing about you, for even if we are not there, the memories of us will still exist in these poems.
But everything’s up to these winters. I am hopeful still. I’ll keep writing these winters down, and make the yellow of my diary, blue.
Adieu.
With love, Aaditya.
Wanted to share some lines from my upcoming book “A Letter To You”.
So, today I came across this particular movie from Netflix named ‘The Half Of It’. So, this particular Rom com is one of the most beautiful movies I ever watched. And this particular quote, which comes in the beginning of the movie is very special. So, I couldn’t resist, but to post it. I really recommend you all to watch this movie, its simply beautiful.
