For Rahulmal:

Rahulmal your poetry is inspiring...

Void but Fulllfilling, Dark but Seeking, Far but Approaching.

Really Lovely, Keep writing.

Nadia

well written.

``Thoughts``, a close friend whipered to me, `` can not be controlled! ``

The beauty of tios poem is it`s simplicity .

I like the last three poems a lot i.e . ``Living words``, ``Don`t Really Know why`` and ``The Right to Freedom``.

I especially like the following verses:

``the setting sun
the brooding dark,
standing together
yet feeling apart.``

As for freedom of expression, i myself have come to question this very theory and law myself because some how it has been made the very excuse for being able to indulge in slander, abuses, spreading rumours, nudity, etc. In other words, according to me, defy morals.

A job well done.

I try to fill,
the empty space inside,
by running with the winds,
by sailing with the waves,
by digging earth,
and splitting hair.

But the void remains,
and the search continues,

Will I someday,
discover my true self?

thanx garam_chai ! a very refreshing login indeed !

thanx huma_mir !
u r correct...but it is not just about internet
it is about modern life...and how we survive thru it.
we live off dreams and romanticise pornography.

hey rahulmal
i liked ur piece...but it left me incomplete
why do u recant ?
y do u erase ?

thanx Nadia_Zehra !
ur words of wisdom are always welcome...and always encouraging.
thank u.

I talk,
and recant the words

I walk,
and erase the footprints.

I eat,
and spit the morsels

I command,
and beat a retreat

I write,
and erase the poems
