Forsaken Dear Children, it is time to go Dry your tears, bid adieu She will not come… call no more Silence greets us yet once more. Reason knows not why it is so Of love and loved ones she let go. Lost is she to our cry and plea Lost forever to us … Oh! Lost are we. Once there was nought but harmony, We thought ‘twould be so for eternity; ‘Twas heaven to be in her embrace In her gentle touch such solace Her voice sweet as music to the ears To quiet all and quell fears But unheeded now goes our plea Our cry of torment … Oh! Tormented are we One day we will return to this place To pay our homage to her grace Will try to be strong, try to be brave Comfort each other around her grave We will sing of loneliness, and of pain Knowing alas, we sing in vain We will sing of our grief, our forlorn plea The song of the forsaken … Oh! Forsaken are we [This message has been edited by anwaarhassan (07-11-2003 09:46 AM).] |

anwaar...This is the first of your poetry that I have read, and I am very impressed. The flow and structure is very smooth to read. I hope to read many more of your poems. This one is sad but at the same time touching.Great Job...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

If this is from your personal experience, I am deeply sorry for your loss. You wrote with such emotion that I could really feel your words... Warm hugs, EA |

Earthangel, thank you for your comments...no, happily this is not from my experience...most tragic poems that I have written are based on other people's experiences...I simply try to express what I think they would feel.... Anwaar |

You have the heart and sincerity as if you were in "others" shoes. Just goes to show your beautiful heart and wonderful writing. I loved this. Sauni:)The Only Time I See The Sun Is When I'm Within That Vanilla Breeze.The Only Time I'm One With The Sun Is When He Shelters Me From The Rain. L.S |
