Loss Of The Ideal Poem by Afzal Shauq

I was proud
the lifetime of success
And in celebration
The face of my dreams
appeared....

Instead of sweet smiles
and gestures of kindness
she stared at me
with angry eyes...

The lady of the face
jumped over me
as an enemy,
scratching my face
brutal her temper.

Forever destroying
the dream
and I...
became a stranger
to myself.
