The Horizon Poem by asma bahrainwala

The Horizon

Rating: 5.0


You and Me—
At the two distant ends of this world.

Distance—a Barrier;
Identity—an Illusion;
Proximity—a Desire;
Anonymity—an Obstruction.

We are like the two ends on the continuum—
We can never become one.

Barrier—a Disappointment;
Illusion—a Pleasure;
Desire—an Instinct;
Obstruction—a Frustration.

Why do I seek the horizon? —
I know we can never become one.

Asma, a very sad picture painted here indeed, but if one wants something bad enough, with God's help they will always find a way. Excellent poem Asma. --Melvina--

Asma, this is what I call a vety well and intelligently crafted poem. I love how you structured it, though its sad: (. Keep trying, maybe time and obstructions will get tired keeping the two of you apart. Preets
