Yesterday it was so beautiful <br />A sparkling sunny day of newborn September <br />My ears could hear <br />High-pitched cackles all around me <br />My eyes could see <br />Stunning milky-white skin wrapped in <br />Valentino chiffon silk dress <br />Asthenic right hand holding <br />A Gucci crystal clutch bag <br />White Gold Ruby and Diamond Medallion Pendant <br />Scintillating around her slender neck <br />In atrophic left wrist she was <br />Wearing a white gold Rolex masterpiece <br />Glossy-coral, kiss-proof lipstick having a golden sheen <br />Dancing on her tender lips <br />Curved eye lashes strengthened with <br />Dior waterproof Mascara <br />Acrylic sculpted nails <br />Ignorant of the pain <br />Which my dried skin could suffer… <br /> <br />Today sun is at the same setting <br />And the day is not bad at all <br />The door moved slowly <br />And she entered <br />Like west wind forgot her way today <br />White- Sateen, long- sleeved gown <br />Falling from neck to below her ankles <br />No single millimeter of milky-white skin <br />My transparent eyes could capture <br />Except her lusterless face <br />Streaked brunette hair, all covered with <br />Sheer black, Cashmere- Linen scarf <br />No more diamonds, rubies or gold <br />No more Gucci, Dior or Rolex <br />Sleepy, wet and lifeless eyes <br />Fixed on the dry floor <br />Dehydrated lips <br />Afraid of uttering even a single word… <br /> <br />Shockingly, I asked; <br />Why, what happened? <br />She replied in a soulful tone, <br />“I am fasting today…” <br /> <br /> <br />Sep 02,2008<br /><br />Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/religion-at-it-s-best/
