a sweet then bitter poem of the realities of being alive? ...........well written.
A very powerful write on sunset. Amazing imagery. A fellow poet on PH recommended it. I thank him because it's a must-read poem. Great work.
Hi Afrooz, I enjoyed reading the poem- I have read an ancient sanskrit shloka (though I an unable to recollect it) , picturising the sunset (Sandhya) as the parting of lovers sun and earth and sun sheds his blood unable to bear the separation, though it is for a few 'pahars'. Your poem reminded me of it. Beautiful. Excellent image expressed in most suited phrases. I would invite you to read a poem by the same name posted today in ph by my friend, Ms Nosheen Irfan. Thanks.
Whoa! I love poems about sunsets....but I've never read one where the sunset was alive and reached out. This is a really cool poem. I felt your pain. Very well done.
Thank you dear Pam! Yes the sunset is a live show we watch every day.
A beautiful image that is projected concerning the setting of the sun.
Then a hand out of many hands of the dark Came into my chest And crushed my heart. Great imagination. you are gifted with the faculty of imagination. make the best use of it to create, write and publish.. as a literary student and teacher, you can do it. do not hesitate. i shall wait for your great creations. thank you very muchl. tony
Thank you very much for your encouragement. I'm trying, but not doing my best, I know! ...
Excellent English! You'll forgive me if I don't correct all of your poems, though!
Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate your response to the request!
A beautiful poem, Afrooz. With the corrections you have made, it is flawless.
Oh, 'flawless' is too much to say about me, but I apprecite your kindness!
Afrooz, your poem is intense and heartfelt, tenderly touching the silence of the heart. In your second line, the word, dark I think would sound better as darkness. When the darkness swallowed it. See what you think. Thank you for sharing, RoseAnn
Increadable imagery my friend. Well done!
Honored to read your comment.
