Shama Bukhari Poems

I was alone and struggling around
Those lonely moments and tears abound
In a small town, and a quaint lifestyle
I loved it though but not allwhile
...

Tears are raindrops,
Falling on deserts.
Replying to the call of the thirst.
But when they fall,
...

It feels it feels under the crumbled leaves
Silence is there in the heart of a beggar or a king
Sometime I feel it in my unshed tears
Dawn by the quayside silence is there
...

It was so long long ago,
Centuries ago,
Sky was blue, trees were blooming, sun shining,
Someone never returned.....
...

Tears, oh tears....rolling down my fears,
The sobs, oh sobs.....no one is near,
It's all vain to weep and mindless to cry.....
The echo less shore is quite and dry...
...

The naked truth is better, far better, I think...
Than the best dressed lies....
Which I am so tired of keeping in corners of my heart..
I just can't forget you, my father! Q
