Long Forgotten Poem by Ishara Parveen

Breezing through the wind
in the late summer afternoon
my eyes hastened to find
the voice;
that sang of joy, laughter,
fun and happiness.
I quickened my pace
to find my twin sister
my sister, my comrade
in the battles I have fought
against my parents
for a new bicycle, a new
doll and on and on
the list is endless..
there she was
lurking behind the doors
to frighten me, a childhood prank!
‘Hope' was long forgotten…
‘colorful memories' I had with her
were meant to be forgotten
until now…
in this summer air
while the angel of
death awaited me
beyond the horizon…..
