Pear Poem by Hashmina Habeeb

Pear

Rating: 5.0


I longed to be eaten
Relished, enjoyed not thrown out half beaten
I waited to be cleansed, groomed and kept
Held in just hands
While Ripe and blush
Summer crawled
And winter crept
Grabbed me by the waist
Squeezed of pulp and taste
Ruined of luster, weak and worn out
I wait for justice
Till time takes its chance
When worms take charge
Of my wasted youth
Cast me away
To my mother’s lap
For pests I prefer
To an unjust man

A deep metaphor you used...In fact chastity.serenity, away from insanity you longed..and the concluding For pests I prefer.To an unjust man if unjust wife and husband are not interwoven with love love the best gift of Allah I request you to refer Surah NISA....well composed a holy lovely call keep it up you deserve 10 /10
