Wait - Poetry by Neelum Afridi



"Wait"




It's like standing,
bare feet,
on a glacier’s,
 peak.



Alike,
 peregrinating
a desert,
sans water.



That is how,
 It feels,
When I wait,
 for thee.



Oh, Spring!
come quick,
let me live;
You're my bliss.



Or, I'll wither,
like an autumn leaf,
dead and displeased,
with no life to live.

An Answer - Poetry by Neelum Afridi




"An Answer"






The air echoes with the sobs
Of half-opened flowers
 Plucked before they blossomed.





What will you answer the Almighty
O lethal plucker,
When the sobs will reach
The Gardens of Eden?
