Hundred letters

When we were one hundred letters old
all the stories and tales were told
the love, the attraction, the thrill all sold
and the desire for freedom starts to unfold

Hundred letters - an entire book
telling it all - the way you took,
what happened, who came to look,
at times even suggesting what to cook

Life goes on, beyond one hundred letters
they lie forgotten, dry the feather
that, thought after thought, faster and better,
hastily completed the hundredth odd letter.
