You are the softness of my life <br />my only refuge from hurt an strife <br /> <br />Alone my soul aches, cold as ice <br />you by my side its warm an nice <br /> <br />as if the sun’s no more warm <br />the sky is cast and out to harm <br /> <br />the way ahead an alien stretch <br />finding my feet an uphill fret <br /> <br />all over the worlds riches abound <br />I'm lost when you're not around <br /> <br />on impulse I reach to hold you close <br />you are my fix my healing dose <br /> <br />With you gone I am bleak an queer <br />with you around, as blithe as a deer <br /> <br />alone I cower an skulk in shadows <br />with you by me to dance in meadows <br /> <br />your smile itself is home and hearth <br />that gives me life and its worth <br /> <br />you outa sight I can scarcely breathe <br />my thoughts then shift to floral wreaths <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(April 08,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-are-my-life-i-must-have-her-am-incomplete/
