Remains Untold

I create on pages 
Of what's not been told,
The nature, being a diamond 
Finds solace in gold;
The sun, Indian laburnum 
And autumn leaves,
Sometimes brings out an admirer
And other times a thief.

I've seen chapters unfold
And have been a crucial part of them,
Except for the one where 
I let another take the limelight;
I often revisit that chapter 
As an audience, as a scout,
Or simply all that I think about.

I don't recreate it on pages 
But I'll remember for ages 
Of what I once got to behold,
She demands sheer silence
And so I let these pages fold.

I've let gone the diamond,
I've let gone the gold,
And so, I create on pages 
Of what's never been told.

Hello Manish,
Your poem "Remains Untold" is a quiet storm — gentle in tone, yet stirring with unspoken depth. It feels like a confession made not to be heard, but to be remembered.
You write with the weight of someone who has both loved deeply and let go, not because the feeling faded, but because the moment demanded silence over permanence. The imagery — diamonds, gold, laburnum, autumn leaves — feels symbolic of both beauty and impermanence, things treasured and lost. And yet, what lingers most is the chapter you chose not to write, the one that "demands sheer silence." That line alone speaks volumes.
There’s grace in the way you’ve surrendered to memory instead of rewriting the past — not to erase it, but to honour it. You remind me that some stories are more sacred when left untold.
Thank you for letting us glimpse the unwritten.
Regards,
Rolph
