ZEEJAH:

`Begging me to walk away,holding my hand so tight`.

A good expression & so succinct.Thanks

``Ubb jo aaye ho tho thehro,

kay koi pul,koi shai

aik jagga pur thehray

Tum naa ayay thhay tho hur cheez

Vohi thhee kay jo hai

Aasmaan Hadde nzar,

haddeh nazar rahguzaar

waghaira waghaira

What a surprise. Liked this line:

``Let morning`s dew come soothe away, the fears that haunt and blight.``

PS: Are you rewriting Aslam K?

Very nice indeed. Now how about one about the loved one who did stay - and every year was better than the last.

hey..I loved it...romantic and touching..

``Begging me to walk away, you held my hand so tight``....great work..keep it up...cheers::))

Thank you Naim ... imagery was the purpose.

Akber, no, the poet is not talking to HERself...;)

short but sweet !!

i dont know if i am right but it occurs that poet is taking to himself ( is that right ?? )

its seems likes its moment in life when u come to know that u stuck with ur self alone and ur the only one who could understand urself take care of ur self no matter how many ppl are around you

ur always alone ..........

weepig with urself ...

sorry if i said too much ....

take care

Zeejah,

An excellent piece of work. Sometimes, the best poems are those which are terse, yet fill your heart and mind with emotional imagery.

Best,

Na`im
