Death Of An Infant Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Death Of An Infant

Rating: 5.0


I can see her crying
In my dreams
In my wakeful hours
I held her tight
Against my frail chest
She cried like an infant
Who just emerged
Through the womb of
Athena
Oh
She broke into pieces
I stole one gem
Out of one thousand pieces of her
And walked away in despair
