saadattahir 1 Posted October 27, 2011 ....ravages of war Saleh …..19 yrs….lost his legs in a war he never understood. He was not particularly despondent……one day in the hospital ...it was a cold winter morning, I was hurrying to join the twitter at the tea bar….through the corner of my eye I saw him in the corridor, in his wheel chair…. deep in thought, nose pressed against the fogging window pane…. I just stopped... walked up and touched his shoulder…..he was shaken out of deep thought and as I said some meaningless comforting words….. his forced smile disappeared and he just melted…! ! Fields dancing in the wind the buds and flowers too I see the grasses velvet hue the blooms refreshed with dew I want to caress them tenderly like I wish to be with you your presence like the blossoms delicate and softly bossomed my love is here and true like the wishes I have for you scented, sweet, alive and strong you will always carry my heart along like an ever smiling flower... blue cheery sky for our cover little birdies twitter in the sun and the air too whispers fun lonely remains of innocent dreams a happy family now rests in realms huddled and one day blissfully slept silently upon them hellfire crept Cant no more, a roll in the grass or feel the tangy tufts of moss with my legs I’ve lost the toss cant touch nature…or you...alas! original saadat tahir (Islamabad) April 7,2009) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
