While reading my poem think of yourself as a character in it,
to understand better. Otherwise, if you are in my realm, just
allow your horizon to expand -- rejoice.
Mistaken Thought
Mohammad Shahzeb Khan
[shahzeb01@yahoo.com]
Heard a thousand words
crossed a million thoughts
forgiven not forgotten
I've tasted that tremendous love
raged against my instincts
merged with the compromises
bowed to the feeling
battled for your desires
In the game of give and take
I gave myself in to your conquest
You came out with the glory
and defeat was my victory
we had a long way to go
but our priorities camouflaged our vision
we saw success in a certain failure
eroded our lives to build a castle together
memories are all we are left with
carved in silence
bred in despair
felt with pain
catered as an orphan
remembered as a myth
endured with a hope to repent
Heard a thousand words
crossed a million thoughts
forgiven not forgotten
