My Poems: Dried Ink
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Assalamu Alaikum,
I was hoping that my poem writing will improve and this time I actually edited this poem before putting it up (but I am still not satisfied with it). It does not have a burst of energy in its tone (like Mystic Lovers) but I was hoping this poem would have longer lasting effect on its reader. I dunno–guess you would have to check it yourself. I hope you like it–I have been working hard on this poem and I have already caught three lines I want to edit, but I am putting it up as it is. (By the way, the second and fourth line of each stanza should be indented, but wordpress isn’t doing it. Gah!):

Dried Ink

You and I can never prove,
—That what is never told can be.
The nostalgic winds flicker and move,
—Forever so silently.
