Way Too Soon … Poem by saadat tahir

Way Too Soon …

Rating: 5.0


Way too soon YOU needed this lovely rose.
Way too quick went this script of a prose.
So many things were left unspoken.
So much pain and hearts so broken.
YOU needed her to sparkle in heaven's light.
on love's chest, a watch in the night
No more loving words from beautiful lips.
No more smile as the coffee she sips
Only memories in heart to be felt in the dark.
Reason as to why so soon, not ours to ask!
For YOUR wishes are ours to fulfill.
On a morning breeze, she wafts still
though her laughter rings on moors yet
a haunting dawn, never progresses to a set
However painful it may sometimes be.
The glorious star in the night sky is she
the morning dew will be her tears
howling wind's elegy that my heart hears
still her loving voice will be my prompt
floating like parchments as silky soft
and when the sun goes down at night
darkness pierces the breast like a blight
her love will be the power of the moon.
a friend I never knew … went too soon!

remembering; another way to celebrate good times you spent. Lets sing separation, Separation is the king. A body that does not know separation, is but a corpse... Baba Fareed

A very touching poem! We all have lost someone that we love some time or other. Memories are always unbearably painful..heart snatching. All we can do is to soothe ourselves, think positive because life must go on..

This is a wonderful poem. Though the whole poem is spectacular with emotions and breathtaking feelings for a departed mate with beatiful rhythm and suited similes and metaphors I love and moved greatly by the lines: No more loving words from beautiful lips. No more smile as the coffee she sips Only memories in heart to be felt in the dark. Reason as to why so soon, not ours to ask! Very very nice.
