My first love I’v forever lost! <br />I sit hushed, endure the cost. <br /> <br />Gone she! to the merry ways <br />In other arms she now sways. <br /> <br />Vacant rantings at muse’s shrine <br />Oh! I ail for her smile to shine <br /> <br />Left me tattered, hollow an bare <br />As she giggles to the Sunday fair <br /> <br />What? the promises that she made! <br />By the windmill, chewing a blade <br /> <br />Eyes I saw were gleaming twinkles, <br />Enchanting smile, an those dimples. <br /> <br />Lay there us for hours on end <br />Promising she, her hand to lend <br /> <br />My heart is broken and it bleeds <br />Crushed like our bedding reeds <br /> <br />O’ why she whispered all those lies? <br />O’ why can’t she hear my cries? <br /> <br />Ecstasy’s traded, given me gloom <br />Forsaken world that sent me doom? <br /> <br />Why ought this; happen to me? <br />I surmise! Should I really be? <br /> <br />Shall she mourn, as I’m no more? <br />Or pluck the fruits, by her door <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(April 20,2009)<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/first-love-one-and-only/
