Device

But my dear,
you once wrote poems,
read books after books and never got tired.
Painted, sung, danced and played,
and laughed with people you cared!

This device you now stare into
was supposed to make all that easy,
bring the world to your palms,
make friendships cozy!

But my dear,
what have you done!
Peek into other's house of silence
and stare until your time is gone!

Cornered memories

It was once my favourite book,
Read a million times.
Now rests on that ignored corner table,
Dust settled over time, name faded,
My heart rebels to disturb it.
So are your memories!
