Neelum Afridi, an emerging voice in English poetry. She paints the world as she sees it. She doesn't guarantee you perfection but she does believe in expression with flaws that might touch a string or two of your heart.

The Emerald
"The Emerald"
The emerald,
green in color,
silver in luster,
blackens at edges,
whitens when brandished.
Simple lines of alchemy,
on the emerald tablet,
no one can quest
the complications in it.
Emerald, I have it!
Splendid; my heaven,
how prepossessing!

Cactus
"Cactus "
Those harsh facts
That you need to accept.
Never go weak
Have the strength
Of a cactus,
In a desert.
Who Fights the thirsts,
The howling winds,
Yet always green,
With fleshy leaves.
All you need is
a little courage
so the thorns grow deep
in the bosom you keep.
Like the cactus with deep thorns
And the courageous leaves
That never bleed
As it has the thorns of its own to feel.
And the courageous leaves
That never bleed
As it has the thorns of its own to feel.
