lover forever
From the sinuous labyrinths of memory
from the dark, tantalising track
out comes a sting in the eye
clutching my heart, when you come back
i know you know it just as well
the void you left - deep and black
it floods with light, laughter and love
i end up in pieces, when you come back
i'm lying, it's a pretence, i so admit
it's strategy to live, it's plain tact
for how can someone who never went away
a permanent resident, ever come back
इस कविता की भावनाएँ फ़राज के वो अशआर याद दिला गयीं
ReplyDeleteये मैं भी क्या हूँ उसे भूलकर उसी का रहा
कि जिसके साथ न था हमसफ़र उसी का रहा
बहुत सी ख़्वाहिशें सौ बारिशों में भीगी हैं
मैं किस तरह से कहूँ उम्र भर उसी का रहा
Lovely! The paradox of love is so beautifully etched out.
ReplyDelete"They say you've found somebody new
ReplyDeleteBut that won't stop my lovin' you
I just can't let you walk away
Forget the love I had for you
Guess I could find somebody, too
But I don't want no one but you
How could you leave without regret
Am I that easy to forget
Before you leave be sure you find
You want his love much more than mine
'Cause I'll just say we've never met
If I'm that easy to forget"
Jim Reeves - Am I That Easy To Forget
Oh! beautiful! Writing is a great medium to know how others have felt exactly the same things we all do...
