Romair: Very nice poem.

I second hamidm in suggesting your true profession is that you are a far better poet than you are a socio-political commentator.

sweet :)

Romair!


And now we`re standing face to face
Isn`t this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last
-Vanessa Williams

Thanks for clearing that up for me. When I first read your poetry, I just had a nagging feeling that I have heard something like that before. It would have come to me sooner or later. Thanks for clearing that up.

This is beautiful!

I will second Hamidm though!!!!

Rozaiba #2: ``But I guess it`s appropriate for the occasion. : )``

I would have sent it in one day earlier, on the actual Valentine`s day (or night). However, I wanted the last word to be, ``Valentine.`` And it took me a bit of time to balance it out.

ZahraJ #3: ``This was sweet! A blend of East and I do not know what.``

Thanks.

``By the way, it seemed both of you(Omar and Umair) contributed to complete the thought ``Promise Me.``

We contributed an article together, once. Since then Chowk Staff keeps putting our name up together, for some reason. And then removes it the next day.

``Happy Belated V. Day.``

To you and everyone else, as well. Btw, for those of us who are married, the answer is obvious, but who was your Valentine, this year?

Hamidm2 #4: ``.......... simply wonderful!........ now, this is what i call poetry!.........you are a poet par excellence!..........

.......waiting with bated breath for your next masterpiece.................``

Thanks. I am speechless. I hope you are not joking. Sometimes it is hard to tell. It took me about two hours to right this, after I heard Vanessa Williams beautiful solo of, ``You saved the best for last.`` It is very inspiring. This is based on the same rhyme, theme, beat and, ``wazan.`` Some of her lines would have fit in perfectly well here.

``so stop wasting your time (and ours) by writing long winded treatises on politics and other useless stuff ............ stick to poetry - it is your true calling``

People keep telling me this. I don`t know why. It has forced me to stop writing articles, other than book reviews, and now a bit of poetry. But not writing long treatise on politics in my replies....That is a bit too much to ask :)

``Is Omer rafique=life-partner?
am I the first to interpret so?``

Just an old friend. Please see reply #1.

``Good simple poem.``

Thanks.

Umair:

Good simple poem.

Romair,

This was sweet! A blend of East and I do not know what.

By the way, it seemed both of you(Omar and Umair) contributed to complete the thought ``Promise Me.`` It did not seem from any angle that it was written for each other. Still the clarification helps in understanding the motive :)

Happy Belated V. Day.

Cheesiest poem I`ve read on the front page. : ) But I guess it`s appropriate for the occasion. : )

Thanks for putting this on the page, so quickly.

Before people start getting any ideas, we did not write this for each other. Omer`s name seems to keep showing up on Chowk, for everything sent in by me :-)
