Two sets of foot prints,
one, arriving; the other leaving.
Frozen, sprinkled by falling snow.

You stood there, at my steps;
Waiting, longer than necessary,
I see the deep grooves,
the scuffle of impatient feet
on broken ice;
Thoughts unsure, insecurities abound,
I waited for the soft knock,
imagined the gentle flakes,
Your eyelashes covered in melting ice,
Icy breath breathing death.
I waited, icicles to form,
my heart to stone,
my blood to ice
my soul to race to the unknown.

I waited, for you to knock,
Yet you left as suddenly,
as you came;
leaving icy images at my door.
like the whispers of thousand deaths,
in my dreams.

I was spared,
I know not why
the skies do not reveal their secrets,
the flakes don't tell no tales,
Yet,
Death had passed me by!

Aaaaah!! I almost thought this poem was dedicated to me re kyaa... LOL!!!

Nice nice, M speechless... ummm ummm ummm...

Yo poem pani satya ghatana ma aadarit ta hoina? Yedi ho bhane yeso detail pauna sakiyela?

hey sitara

i have read some of ur stuff and its really good, it is more visual i would say.

However, actually confusing in some aspects. Well my point is, having read some of your old stuff, i find that your writings are free verse oriented and then again this one fits perfectly as a pot of clay in a mould as a cinquain. i'm not criticizing u here at any point. It is just that actual free verse writers almost never write arcostic poetry or cinquain.this is just out of curiousity. nothing offensive, no harm or trying to belittle u in any way.

What can I say, your poem occupies concepts of authorship and influence! By the time your poems is dun reading... its already visible to the readers...dunn have to tussle with words n meanings: the poem is a score-card! Nice one :)

Ashley!

indisguise bro, kura bujherai gareko ho.. sitara is sharing a poem, let's appreciate that nice gesture on her part. why bring all those unresolved businesses from other threads here bhanera po bhaneko maile.

आहाहा गोकुलजी?. जहा न पहुंचे रवि, वहा पहुंचे कवि । गन्तव्य एक आकर्षण र व्यग्रता मात्र होईन भय पनि हुन्छ भनेर अलोकस्विकृत किन्तु सत्य कुरा प्रकाशन गर्न कवि अतिरिक्त को अघि बढ्ला ?

मलाई असाध्यै मन पर्ने एउटा 'शेर' हालै दिवंगत भएका शायर, खुमार बारा बांकवी, को एउटा कविप्रिय गजलबाट,

मेरे राहबर मुझे गुमराह कर दे
सुना है के मन्जिल करीब आ रही है

ल पुरै गजल कविकै जादुई स्वरमा सुनौं-

कलंकी ब्रो, ढाँटी कुरा के, त्यो मैले साझाको एउटा पुरानो थ्रेडबाट रिसाइकल गर्?या टुक्रा थियो । लु हेरम् पुरै थ्रेड ।

यो थ्रेडमा खास गरेर पश्चिमको 'हार्मलेस साइबर फलर्ट' प्रतिको तातो समर्थन याद आउछ र not to mention Sitara's wit at it's best !
