Photograph

PHOTOGRAPH

A series of emotion a photograph carries,

A memory of many events,

Lying trapped in an album,

Untold stories remain a mystery.

Never thought pictures can break us,

Never imagined all will be left would be just images,

No matter how much I cry seeing them,

They never change nor the time does.

Passed down from generations to generations,

They just get old,

Some miss them for a day,

And forget them once it gets fold.

Never knew snapshots had so much power to make people cry,

Or maybe the image of the person it does,

Photographs hold a value,

For the treasured memories in us.

They say capture the happy times,

Forget the sad ones,

Who knows what the time will bring?

Time decides whether a photograph is a happy or a sad one.

Old photos are tangible. They've lived a life through generations. Unlike computer images which always look static. It's always nice seeing old family photos.
History in the making.

[Najam Us Saher]

Absolutely right. There is nothing as refreshing as watching old photographs, it is a whole new experience. Thank you very much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Oh, this poem triggers so much memories. A great depiction, you've done here!
A few months ago, I went through some of the old pictures of mine, when I went on trip during matriculation in school times. It made me cry and laugh. I couldn't even think if I were crying or laughing lol. The smiles, the expressions, everything was etched in those photographs. :P

Very Well-written. :)

You are right my friend.
"Photographs hold a value,
For the treasured memories in us.
They say capture the happy times,
Forget the sad ones,"
The above lines are true. Photos become needed items. Allow us to see missed places and faces. Thank you Najam for sharing the amazing poetry.
