'HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, COMPANIONSHIP

COMPANIONSHIP

Hold my hand, take me to he land,
Where name nor brand,
Will come in between true friends,
Shall go to their house,
Feeling like a louse,
Smiles, warmth, mirth and cheer,
Encompass me from all sides…
Take me away from my swing of mood,
Feel I well and good.
True friendship is hard to find,
With materialism in mind.
Wherever you are, come and touch me,
For mi am abound with sincerity,
A friend I receive…
To avoid the mire….
Always be there.
Give meaning to my blank stare.

HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, SACRIFICE

SACRIFICE
It seemed like my paradise was there to stay,
Everything I always wanted I possessed,
To hold to cherish till, I was dead
The envy of the crowd, I swayed to the rhythm
My heart heat and my breath hummed,
We were five in all, two boys and a girl,
The mild summer and a picnic by the beach
Snowflakes on the mountains not our of reach
On holiday or at work
Happiness and contentment always at my doorstep,
Suddenly fate started changing for worse,
The truth came home, not an act to rehearse,
He had to leave my side for greener pastures,
The children went along, all for one, one for all,
I was left all alone, to wipe my tears,
One my one they left me for a motionless floor,
I was all alone, all alone.
