Forever is long time,
Time waits for none.
None but the poor soul without options;
Options only to wait or not,
Not promised, yet not surrendered.
Surrendered day in and day out,
Out of nothing hope lingers.
Lingers only as if by ghostly presence.
Presence of mind to know or deny;
Deny everything, yet deny days.
Days to months to years,
Years to a decade;
A decade much in touch and go;
Go, but never distant, yet always far.
Far from over, yet always close to ending.
Ending with a peck of resistance.
Resistance to goodbyes;
Goodbyes that mean hellos,
Hellos yet that do not mean farewell.
Farewell without sense, yet in full sanity
Sanity clinging to hopes,
Hopes that cannot flower;
Flower sweet truth and distinct scent,
Scent that power imagination or dreams.
Dreams that seemingly last a day, yet stays for forever…

Personal ramblings on whatever makes the news and shakes my fancy. Reviews on stuff I have bought or used or experienced, and observations on people I have had the fortune to meet and life's epiphanies that have impacted my development and has made me ME.

Glad to know that you are still the poet -sab!
Is that you Talat?? Anyway - I knew your interest in writing but I didn't know your poetic side!! I didn't know you are a blogger either. Good poem - looking forward to reading more Poetry, Politics, Policies and Prop as I bookmarked your blog site. I blog at Drishtipat sometime and in my own site.
I am impressed that I have visitors. Rehan, if you ever check back. Yes it it me. Just uploaded two poems that I wrote recently. Unfortunately I don't really come to publish often. I am obviously not a serious blogger. Not been writing much on politics, polcy or propaganda... so it's poetry for the time being.
Great work.
