Poetry

Farewell to lovely time

Rubab Abdullah Shukla

A wintry breeze is towing my soul somewhere
I go out for a drive to see
How my city looks when winter emerges
And roll down the window glass of my car
To feel the chilly light wind beat in . . .
It makes me see in my mind's eye
And whispers in my ears:
'Let go. Let go, my love
You suffer desperately, weighed down
By the parting with your beloved
Somebody belongs to none
Who you love is only destiny's child!"
