Erum Khan

I
don’t want to be brief; and
don’t want to limit my love; for you
in these three words
...

Imagine if shadows could speak,
trees lie down at ease,
rivers refuse to flow,
wind frowns, as it blows,
...

I want to survive: to see the beauties that lies within
Energized with the rays of the ultimate source, I want to survive;
to glance the painted green crust, the white tops of those that stand high
and to see what lies under the blue crystal sheet
...

Back off! my dearest
for the sparkling jewel that you see
are glittering coal
that could burn your delicate hands
...

The peace that your heart bear
that you unknowingly share
among the people you love and care
...
