Ever wonder
What it means to be alone
To be insulated
From the worldly tone
To be amid a lively crowd
And to feel that engulfing desert-silence
To speak with your mouth
While your heart waits for emergence
The soul remains thirsty
Of a companion
Who speaks not this worldly tongue?
But soaks the silence
With a mystic love
Ever wonder
When you look up
At the star-spangled sky
And the cool breeze
Lightly walks by
You feel an arcane absence
Of a confidante you never met
Of an Abigail you never glimpsed
To know that there is yet
A more scenic voice to be heard
Amplifies your loneliness
Ever wonder
When you touch a flower
And perceive the prophecy
Of a distant hour
Of an unfelt graze
Of a pleasant haze
And you realize that bitter truth
That you are alone
For now.
Ever wonder
Ever wonder...

Writer Profile
Awais Aftab
Writing has been a passion, a love ever since I learned to write. For me, writing is a means of expression of 'secret tears and secret pleasures'. True writing comes from the heart and often it is the one to find you, not you the one to find it. Writing gives me power, the strength to carry on, the will to live and to live in a better way. It helps me find deeper meaning in the world around me and to understand myself much better. I can't survive without writing. For me, my writings are the whispers of life, in which the glory and sorrow of life echoes. For me, these are the glittering tears, whose every flash encompasses a thousand aspects of life. I believe that, 'I write; therefore I am.' However, true ease in writing comes from art, and I still have to learn a lot about that.
