The day wanes on bitter sweet memories <br />Of yesterday <br />The crushing sense of loss <br />Yet the sun would set behind the trees <br />Time is striding in a straight direction <br />We measure that in days and nights <br /> <br />The lies of today <br />Would bear on the truths of yesterday <br />The space is getting smaller <br />Is breathing more difficult either <br />Add pauses and surprises <br />Would not I leave it to you <br />To go by the rhythm of your heart beat <br /> <br />Let's leave what is dispensable <br />Letting go is accepting the defeat <br />What we call indispensable <br />Is the dispensable indeed <br /> <br />Lure the heart to some new love <br />This nature is loosing the beauty it once had <br /> <br />Islamabad <br />Aug 4,2010<br /><br />Sadiqullah Khan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lies-of-today/
