Leaving

Is this you leaving
Or my soul
Leaving my body?
The green tree of attachment
Brings forth
The thorny pain of separation...
Enfolding me
Like the Angel of Death
Embraces one in Agony!
Only one difference;
They die,
I survive...
To die
Again and again!
— Wafi, Feb 11, 2010

Wow Jayne

Wow Jayne, I didnt know I'll see it on spotlight. This poem, though writting it was a painful thing to do as I was really hurt, but it did give me happiness in form of lovely comments and appreciation from great neopoets and yeah, the spotlight. Thanks once again dear Jayne. Sincerely, Wafi "Culture, location and beliefs; All vanish with love!" ~Afzal Shauq~

Wafi, it’s so rare that

Wafi, it's so rare that I'm here these days and a real joy to find a new one from you :) Do hope you're well dear boy? I liked the poem but think it needs a few tweaks so suggestions to follow :) Is this you leaving (makes more sense to me with is/this swapped round) Or my soul Exiting )?) my body? (find other word for leaving maybe? bit fresher and less repetitive?) The green tree of attachment Brings forth The thorny pain of separation… Enfolding me Like the Angel of Death Embracing me (I'm a funny one but repetition might work here?) In Agony! Only one difference; (not sure the but is necessary?) They die, I survive… To die Again and again! Wafi, this is a good poem, with potential to be better, I feel, I enjoyed the read as I so often do your work and send you love and hugs as always :) more love Beki xxx

Very gripping...

Being separated from your soul mate is like a part of you has gone forever. Never to feel complete again until a new soul captivates that missing void, which can happen. Rosina xena465

Dear Wafi,

this is as close to perfect as it gets. How could someone choose to walk away from as gentle and caring a soul as you are? Here's to surviving and moving on! Yours, ~Nina

I'm a bit late getting to this one but better late than never to be sure. I love the delicate demand of this write Wafi. What you've accomplished here is not an easy root to dig up. This part especially grabs me: "The green tree of attachment Brings forth The thorny pain of separation…" All the best, Nathaniel

my views

ur marvellous in an unique way write poetry in your own innimitable way and to Allah i shall pray a Nobel may one day come your way accept it thus as a non poet that's me I dare to say LOVED HOWZ THIS COMMENT TOO Glad I read your poem By a stroke of error That’s my admission You were writing about nocturnal I thought otherwise But I am glad I read you And learnt from others’ comments That you’re the best Would you mind the comments? From a non- poet That’s me? Though called by all As loved Forgive me for the error If it be. Loved

Sorry i missed this first time round.

I give the stars and nomination for its excellence crafting and sparse clarity of language and imagery. I couldn't have written it. Too self-conscious, I would feel like a character in a (very well written) melodrama. 8). No offense.

My First Neopoet Friend

The first poem here I read was urs Then I didn't know Neopoet’s well I forgot how to trace my friends. It’s been a long time Perchance today I again crossed your way and read the poem I had already commented But I am still happy to come across My poet friend in u today You are a poet of class I took my initial name after you As ’’Istan’’ Then by some quirk or stroke of luck Someone asked me to change it I did and lost you In the mirage of life None the same But blessed I am I come across you once again And Add you now as my friend All over and once again Istan now LOVED BY ONE AND ALL
