Broken Hopes Poem by Afzal Shauq

Broken Hopes

Rating: 5.0


I move on...
Exhaustion plagues me
Sweet thoughts...
feelings...
comes to my heart.
Taking my broken hopes,
heavy the bundle,
upon my weak shoulders.
I proceed slowly
stumbling as I go.

hi, the poem is really touching, i enjoyed reading it sooooooo much. it made me feel abit sad as it reminded me of my broken hopes. the poem sounds like that u have broken hopes...do you? ? ? ? ? ? it's just wonderful, i dont know what else to say to be honest, i've ran out of words. You are such a talented poet, there is so much wisdom in you. i just enjoy reading your poems, as a matter of fact your poems remind of my country for some reason. No matter how much i praise your poems, it's not enough you know. I liked your poem Friendly smile, it had a meaning. some people write poems, which do not have a meaning, but your poems have a meaning, and they are touching. it's good that you have published so many books. awesome poems! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! wida tausif

A new way of putting how one feels when most loving hope happens to break and make us to live with it without our will in it.Beautifully brought out the pain of the heart in the few lines from the depth of a feeling heart. Winnie
