The Indispensable

| | Comments (2)

so cruel

but part of us

tonight i'm leaving

no more is heart for us

you never said

what you had to say

but dont feel fear

lets not stray

wait for the time

start to pray

before it ends

before its late

dont push pain

onto your fate

life is good

but let it not be great

you'll stop enjoying it

you'll start to hate

what you had so much of

the indispensable is about to arrive

but let it not wait

It's Kamran, the poet! The cold wind blew Ghalib's soul in you for a change? :P This indeed is good work. When I reached the following part, I couldn't help but agree...

life is good
but let it not be great
you'll stop enjoying it
you'll start to hate
what you had so much of

One should be satisfied with what one has and not crave for much. For their's no joy in craving. Happiness is in realization of the fact (with all my apologies to Emily Dickinson) that "Heaven is not always what we can not reach". You might wish to read her poem:

Heaven is what I cannot reach!
The apple on the tree,
Provided it do hopelss hang,
That "heaven" is, to me.

The color on the cruising cloud,
The interdicted ground
Behind the hill, the house behind, --
There Paradise is found!

I say, that apple might be with worms... who knows!!

Hina: Yep, it's me the poet! =) hehe. Emily's probably dreaming.. so I'll let her assume that apple's fresh and sweet without any worms :) but outside dreams, you're probably right adi!
