by Saleem Safdar
in the raging sea of identity
tossed amidst waves, lost
without sight or sound
as the whispers rush in i drown
longing yet for familiar ground
the reasoning begins to choke
as uttered by the starlit sky above
are the truest words Labid ever spoke
echoing the name of the One I love
as i descend towards the depths
led by the brute to blackness below
in the breath before spiritual death
i profess my confession by blood as it flows
within and without, as sea reflects sky
testifying truth even as i lie
daily i die a thousand deaths profane
and with every wrenching beat
my heart repeats your name
very nice saleem...as expected from you and welcome aboard on hidaya :)

on April 20, 2004 12:06 PMsomtimes its not easy to leave husband and get divorce.divorce is not a small issue.write somthing on divorce issue as well.did you ever met someone who put his entire life on all risks but never leave his soulmate.and one day when he gets up realize that he was right to make that decision.
