Two steps away
from the immortal land:
a dwelling of the dead and dread.
To the world it is known
As a heaven and a Hell;
The former is blessed
with hearts serene,
and the latter is charmed
With minds(didn't do any harm)
Where should i go?
Confused and perplexed:
To the 'Blessed'or to the 'Damned?
Or get back to my sweet homeland.
Where my LOVE
Across the mountains,
Is waiting for me.
Alone and scared,
But...
i would love to read a poet's note about this, but i know some poets think a poem should not be explained to the readers, and some readers don't want an explanation, SO i'll enjoy it without understanding it completely! i wonder if LOVE refers to a person. and i wonder if two more steps would send your body hurtling 1300 feet down to your death in a pakistani river gorge. these three lines especially caught my eye and imagination: And the latter is charmed With minds; didn't do any harm. Where should i go? thanks for sharing. :) bri
enigmatic and an apparent dilemma of sorts cabbaged deep inside the whorls of fate.. very well written... and express some profound fundamental truth.... that is as yet farther west than we can imagine great touching poetry liked
Go nowhere Gulsher, your place is where your steps belong to...If the land of infertile be yours, should you leave it or should you changed it for something good? You may plant something that suitable for things to grow or make it more than a land you have..As in your hometown, your love..you should stay to bring all the best you have to improve all bad things, yet dont forget more great things in what you have now, what you stepped on now..just do the best creatively and you are the winner_Soul
Would you mind To find cold wind from the north? Where you are now live here, south Would you be waiting my rose While you standing before it buds Two steps away you can decide You may go and get it You may lost as you cant have it Like in every step we have We are cross the time No one counts but we are at the last Who lost for the ending Shall we go to the north from south? Can we wait from bud to have flower? Or should we dream cool wind forever Two steps away..we could we should decide now _Soul
