You! Poem by Shahzia Batool
You!
I got a chance to meet You
in the feel of a moment
gripped in the crystalline abstraction
of a diamond bonding…
at my first sight,
a young sheep,
a kitten,
or a chic You looked to me;
but as the moments passed by,
I kept on exploring You
and found to my sheer surprise
a ripe mind,
a deep thought,
a razor-pen You kept and still keep…
a keen observer,
a bright writer,
a sharp critic;
I felt your soul like a lighted candle
Sometimes kindling the light
though sometimes idly burning away
but always on the flickering flame
fighting against the bold blows
and strokes of critical winds…
I felt the hardening of your heart
by constant fighting
within and without…
You made me up and happy
You made me down and sad
but never annoyed me
I likened you to Stephen D.
I likened you to the bard of fancy
I wished to write an ode to You…
Reading You is a wonder feel,
One might feel sitting either
in a submarine
or a space-shuttle..
you have always been so dead sure
beyond being challenged ever…
I witnessed deaths of ego hard
With no offence, with no blame
People let you rule their moods
Willingly...
for how they can file an F.I.R
when in all crystalline way
they love the killer…! ! !
What a strong relationship between exists between an individual and his ego is always a puzzle, yet to be solved. It might give comfort sometimes but most of the times it makes us sad. The narration technique is superb. Nice work Shazia,
A fascinating and intriguing write. Left me puzzled...Lovely poem.
One of your best poems................I liked it. A contrasting poetry with fine flow and flawless message.
for how they can file an F.I.R when in all crystalline way they love the killer…! ! ! After reading this poem and particularly the last three lines the pages of history make me shy of myself. I can't do anything except regretting what i did in past and what I am doing at present. A great poem.
I was moved. A very beautiful poem, Shahzia. Thank you for sharing. Peace
