Why can’t you leave me alone in my peaceful place?
Why do you creep in to my mind unexpected?
It was hard enough getting you out from there in the first place.
It was agonizing to comfort my heart that it was for my own good.
Why can’t your sweet words be erased forever from my mind?
It was hard enough locking them in the deepest end.
Why do you appear in my daydreams uninvited?
It was agonizing to erase your image from my feeble mind.
Why can’t I have you? Why is my mind in anguish?
It is hard enough to live my life trapped in this mesh.
Why do you have to be the better half to someone else?
It is agonizing to know you are content somewhere else.
Why do your soft smiles caress my mind uninvited?
Why does your presence engulf my heart unintended?
Why does my mind, my heart, my soul get so agitated?
Why can’t I just have you & cherish you untainted?
Why do you creep in to my mind unexpected?
Why can’t you not let your presence not be felt?
Why do you stay in my mind, in my heart?

WHY WHY WHY WHY
NEVER ASK WHY
BECAUSE WHY
WILL ONLY SCREAM
AT YOU WHEN YOU DAYDREAM.

Samuel Butler says:
It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.
Herman Hesse says:
Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.
Anais Nin says:
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.
… All of them my favorite authors.
Cheers,
Powerful feelings, but the wordplay might be improved. I think you have the potential to. I hope the cause for these emotions go on so you write more for our reading pleasure.
Arzvi thanks for the comment. I am no poet. I just blabber
AND OMG how could you wish such a thing on poor me?
those emotions takes me to a dark place.
i spit it out only to get out of the darkness
but keep coming back….
you will not be disapointed.
thank you elyas
for liking my blabbering.
and you are right
“never ask why because why will only scream” back at you
you always need more eh!!!??
keep coming back
Ah, all the WHY’s are so beautifully expressed. I could feel all the emotions. One more to add as my favorites. Amira, love it very much
thanks flora.
it was just spur of the moment thing
thanks for liking my rants
i hear words from a silent and dimly lit place. a place within the depths of a beautiful heart… amira, this reminds me of one of my fav gazals;
“apna range mohabbath hai sabse judha,
koi pooche tho raashid kahun aur kya?
jis ko paayaa nehi us ko kokar bhi main,
kiyun usika rahaa, waqt ki baath hai.
waqt se waqt ki kya shikaayath karein,
waqt ji naarahaa waqt ki baath hai.
usne dheka muje, usne chaahaa muje,
usne tukuradhiya … waqt ki baath hai.”
some “whys and Its” are only there to ask and forget… until you ask again.
the best part is through it all you have come out Stronger!
your inner world intrigues me!
cool
thanks for the share. that’s a nice gazal.
another urdu fan …
especially
“jis ko paayaa nehi us ko kokar bhi main,
kiyun usika rahaa, waqt ki baath hai.” … such awesome meaning …
and wow to your analytical skills and the skill in expressing:
“a silent and dimly lit place”
that’s beautifully poetic.

Reminded me of a song called Why by a group called 3T and Michael Jackson
That’s a wonderful song.
Thanks for the share
I particularly liked the following verse
Why do the rivers flow to the sea ?
If rivers flow, why can’t your love flow through me, babe ?
Why does my heart, uuh, feel so missed ?
To be in love
To feel in love
Why don’t I feel complete ?
Wow, What a beautiful way to express feeling in poem… Fantastic Amira !!!
Thank you Jenny for sweet words as always
It’s like a breath of fresh air
I’ve missed your words in the past few days … so here is a huge applause as a welcome back
Hey Amira. This is a beautiful piece. I hope these “why’s” bn heard to the responsible person if there is any and you will get your answers soon
Once again these words are truly amazing.
cheers
ah!!! someone to hear the why’s dho.
nobody can hear it. it’s just in my mind 
that’s the problem
thanks for the lovely comment
Well at least you got a beautiful post from your experience
xoxo
yeah sunshine you are right. I guess whatever we are is a result of our experience
sour words, sweet words, beautiful words, anything and everything…
Such torture and angst in this poem, but also yearning and deep caring feelings. As a reader, I was “with you” as you tumbled from one emotion to the next, crying out in anger, or pleading with questions that have no answers. You ran the gamut of emotions in this poem, Amira~ it is a strikingly beautiful piece.
Thanks Judy. for being “with me”
and I am humbled by your words of appreciation…
it’s just a simple piece of writing. nothing grand about it. but yes, it came from my heart
Touching words, Amira. I could feel your agony! But as Elyas has suggested just let it go….
Oh thank you Bindu. I am so glad I wrote that piece. Such nice comments
How can I let go of something that gives me such lovely lovely comments
thank you neelimanair
for the visit and comment and also liking it.
that’s help me to go on … to write more
