A Thousand Splendid Suns Poems

I have been waiting forever,
since the very last call...
I have grown older,
still a part of you remains in my soul...
...

When we are together...
I cant shake off that feeling...
Of security
Hand in hand, we stare off at that bright moon
...

You have abandoned me…And I am lost now.
I need someone to hold my hand, to guide me through this hateful world
You have betrayed me…And I am alone now.
I only had you, and you promised you won’t leave!
...

Don't promise to be kind..
And then take back your word!
Don't draw hearts on my hand..
And then erase them!
...

When will life become fair?
Is it only me...
Who sheds a tear?
Can't you see...
...

I look at you..
And turn away.
It reminds me...
You didn't stay.
...

The Best Poem Of A Thousand Splendid Suns

When My Gaze Met Yours...

I have been waiting forever,
since the very last call...
I have grown older,
still a part of you remains in my soul...
I keep replaying that last time,
when my teary-eyes met yours....
I need you so...
yet you never come back...
There's no escape the haunted memories,
that followed after you left...
You have affected me so deeply,
you're the one to blame...
I haven't lost hope,
no its not too late...
And I'll be waiting here,
at the very first place my gaze met yours....

this novel gives the womens side of the last 4 decades in afganistan. It is about female struggle to cope and the survival of spirit in the midst of tradgedy, as a western woman I take the idea of equality for granted, In a male dominated society there is not this assumption of equal choice between partners. The charactures are believable and mostly likeable, Its a good thought provoking read, also try reading 'the bookseller of Kabul' and of course 'the kite runner'
