I Know That Poem by Wali Jamali

I Know That

Rating: 5.0


I know that i love you
I know that you will desert me
I know that print-marks on your neck will vanish.

But,
I will be there
Waitnig for you
Till monsoon comes
To water the my daisies.

I know that
Torrential rain will erase ploughed-lines
And the marks of the bullocks.
My fields will get watered-down
Like your lips had before.

I know that
Next season
My un-kissed lips
Will have a different tase
And your neck
Shall have no imprints of love.

But,
You like a barren-field
Will stay bare and un-touched
To wait for caresses.

This time
Monsoon may strike back

But,
Not I.

Wonderful piece xoubiya. His fields shall remain barren till your love shall water them again. But your love shall not be wasted on fools. 10.

very enthralling xoubiya...what i marvelled at was how youve dne the poem up the sadness is somehow enhanced romantically by the allusions to nature and the process of rebirth from dust....healing always comes from nature...thats always been my belief.well done.
