Here, for you, I offer bits of my broken dreams. <br />Hark! dark despairs, from my sleepless realms. <br /> <br />Could you rid thee of me or stray away far. <br />Or ever forget, my malevolent heart's scar. <br /> <br />Your giggles, your smiles, breathe your color. <br />Look! I greedily gather these pearls, for succor. <br /> <br />With tears you had wept, close to my breast. <br />Here, see, dusky depths of a tattered chest. <br /> <br />If only your life's pieces, you bestow on me. <br />Here, I present the honorable price, for all to see. <br /> <br />Perfumed anointed, Oh descend to my side. <br />Here, I put forth in humility, my fragrant tide. <br /> <br />Love you like flowers, cherish you like a bud. <br />Here If I may, for your peace, is my solace's rud. <br /> <br />My warm embrace, wherever shall you find? <br />Here present I, sans reserve, my being my mind. <br /> <br />Say, venial angel, wouldn't you but accept? <br />This aged wine, in you heart to flow and reflect. <br /> <br />(Islamabad) <br />(Nov 12,2009) <br />** dreams are but …dreams.<br /><br />saadat tahir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-dreams-1211/
