Set Of Shadows Poem by Colonel Muhamad Khalid Khan

Age is telling on me and I am counting my days
I do not know why I am remembering my past
Now I am in sheer darkness to count youth rays
Old age in itself is a slow poison no need to blast

What is life a set of shadows moving without reality
Some people throughout their lives remain in trance
What is love and hatred interwoven in useless plea
Opportunist in every nook, corner take but chance

I am a poet hence take all things in true perspective
But still I failed to appreciate just real anatomy of life
I do not know, what measures to be out of the captive
So I have been injured by daggers and to be on knife

Col Muhammad Khalid Khan
