Purblind Poem by Naseer Ahmed Nasir

Purblind

Rating: 4.8


If some one were to flash a light
Would you be able to see
All those things
Which are lost in the deep swarthy
Liquid of darkness
Life's configuration
Death's face
Body of sadness
Lips of sound, dimples of pain
marble-white feet of happiness
Henna-colored fingers of love
Universes of beloved's tresses
Indeed, the divinely musical shadow of God.......

If some one were to flash a light
Would you be able to see
Wrapped up in the primordial fog
Waiting since life's beginning
Some one's eyes!

This is such a powerful poem that even the reprimand in it commands acceptability. The best thing is that it spares none.

a deep insight that comes like a flash of lightening at unexpected moments in life, when one is calm, filled with love and compassion. amazing images, disturbing, uplifting leaving me in tumult, compelling to introspect.how rare are such moments... we are too preoccupied to take note of life around us in all its shades and, light or no light- are blind.

a blind date....with a special moment to remember....a giving of oneself, just to let other live....I cried and say goodbye of what was there which is not fair, yet! Wonder of the day to come of what is beautiful in the memories of the past.....how i wish to settle in one way as it could be....now your poem satisfy my thirst of what is today.....God bless....a 10+++++++
