POETIC DELIGHT BY SONIA NAZ-PAKISTAN

 

What the Tree Understood

The sun burns me as I sits in its embrace

Walls shadow chills me too in its place

A restless heart grows tired of chasing love

Even each step drifts like a frightened dove

Me, my love and its tantrum afterwards

Found you nothing but a barren orchard

But a silent tree sways as if it know

Chaos of my heart, the ebb and flow

It gives me shade letting the soft sunlight remain

A quiet mercy easing both itching warmth and pain

You stay calm, distant and blind to my plight

A tree reads my heart, either heavy or light

What worth with this pride you can face

When a dumb tree can grab your place

What weighs the wealth your victory too

When soothing tree shade can replace you

A truth about my love I go revealing on you

Worshiped you not but my thought about you

Look! A naive heart keeps weaving dream anew

Forgetting all harms your indifference drew.
