An Unsent Wish Poem by Akhtar Jawad
An Unsent Wish
I remember the flowers,
We plucked from the gardens,
I remember butterflies,
We jointly collected,
I remember the festivals,
We celebrated and enjoyed,
I remember the songs,
We listened to on the radio,
I remember the games,
We played in the streets,
I remember the rivers,
That met like lovers,
I remember the school,
We studied whereat,
I remember the showers,
We jointly enjoyed.
And I remember the girl,
We watched every day,
In the morning to school,
In afternoon back to home,
Every day when she passed,
From the road we stood at,
We commented with a sigh,
The colors have gone,
The fragrance has gone,
And left behind,
A thirst to see again,
What a joint love affair!
And I still remember,
We liked her so much,
Yes, we loved her jointly,
She was a piece of beauty,
Not sexy at all,
A model of innocence,
A divine lovely charm,
I don't know what,
There was something in her,
That was holy and pious.
Years have now passed,
I left that place,
However for a few years,
We exchanged the letters,
Then a tragedy of hate,
Resulting in a war,
Increased the distances,
And correspondence was over.
Time changes Eve,
Time changes Adam,
But a friend never changes,
I saw your lovely photographs,
On a website,
With your graceful wife,
Your children and grandchildren,
I recognized your wife,
You appeared to me,
Like two holy rivers,
That ultimately met,
With seven commitments,
And the hidden third river,
Wishes you dear,
A happy life,
With a lovely wife!
Nostalgic poem, but this is how life is, thanks for sharing this feeling with us!
Dear bro, very emotional and sweet description. the memories of youth always pass before the eyes like a movie and i feel my heart tumbling with a kind of gloom thinking that the time can not come again though we wish it to come. great write. only you can do this.

Travelled through those beautiful days of your boyhood..! . Such experiences are not just personal but almost universal! Now when we look back it is a lovely memory! 'What a joint love affair! ' Love this line the most! How true....! Without being possessive, having a kind of crush and celebrating it as a group affair! Enjoyed the poem altogether!
