My true Beloved



Even in the moonlit nights....
My nights remained pitch dark....
And while you were swinging on life's songs...
Not even silence , on my ship, embark;

I have reached the dusk of life....
picking thorns of solitude...
while your eyes kept glimmering each day
with the sights of your beloveds and dudes ...

Every time you look in the mirror
 Your blushing face might remind you of our past era ...
For it is the blood of my heart ...
that has given your face this aura..

You may have carved many gods out of your lust ...who cares!
The one and only God is now my true beloved ..so no remorse.. no tears...

Sheila Sheila Zulfiqar Ahmed

University of Karachi, Senior Lecturer.... i write poetry in English and my native language urdu too but kept it to myself mostly....as my profession is very demanding engaged in teaching and research i wish I had a lot of time to tap more often those moments when i feel like writing poetry...........but whatever i have written to date came straight from events in my life .. i mean ...didnt imagine situations and wrote poetry..so one day when i will publish my anthology , God willing,i believe it would be sort of an autobiography of my emotional vicissititudes....poetry has been soothing ...healing and the only conduit through which I expressed myself when due to unavoidable reasons I stopped writing research articles...an area where again i always have tried to give genuine ideas....so i love poetry and i think poets in many unimaginable ways give so much to others as hope, as inspiration, as moments of catharsis, feeling that others too are going through similar pains that gives poetry the speacial place it has enjoyed in the annals of history. more…
