“A confession for life”        BY ZUHAIR ABBAS

Life! What a queer treasure you are,

Your mesmerizing contents are foreign to me

A time will come when we will part

Lifeless, I will be – when, where, how I know not

For it’s a secret which the prudent could not unfold.

Dear life, we have been together for so long

Witnessing the rant and rave and pleasant times

Though there too were times when you and I quarreled

And I often desired you were no more

Yet I pray, forgive and forget, it is an intricacy to part

Precious, we have to accomplish so much

The dreams which we saw, haven’t faced the reality

Keep the tears and sighs for some other time

Let’s greet each other once more and bid farewell

A time after.
