Your vision had the wings <br />The bird caught in the net <br />Of expediency <br />Universality of thought <br />Freedom and happiness for all <br />The verse you carried door to door <br />Divine word you chose <br />All the forces of nature <br />Encircled you <br />And you had the last step <br />To paradise <br />Dear poet <br />Reality had the harshness <br />Of hell <br />The path of roses <br />And studded with stars <br />The beautiful eyes of the beloved <br />Had much tears <br />Dear poet <br />Who makes the dreams come true <br />Dear poet of the fantasy land <br />Tell me <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />20/4/2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dear-poet-2/
