Wonder I Wonder Poem by Zaffar Qureshi

Wonder I wonder,
what became of me,
falling in love,
so surreptitiously.
Gather I gather,
whatever I see,
flying in bliss,
drowning in melancholy.
Your sweet smile,
floating on your watery eyes,
is a strange happiness,
in this catastrophe.

Oh dear, wind,
rise from within,
carry her tears away.
Bring them to me,
and I shall see,
that they never leave my eyes.
I shall keep her sadness safe,
somewhere in my heart.
Hear it sing,
in little feeble sighs,
in the lonely starry night,
to me,
as I fall asleep,
fall asleep,
in her forever longing eyes.
