Unfinished business

Author: Ali Jan Maqsood

Thou smiled at me and so did I,

Our daily night chats,

And days in each other’s remembrance,

I called thou mine,

Thou laughed!

The graveyard celebrated,

For a laughter is usually a yes,

Thou did not accepted,

Neither thou denied,

But loved me somewhere in your heart!

My presence brought a disparate happiness,

With a smile on your face,

I witnessed!

Everything was perfect,

Until, the world intended to depart us,

Thou was departed cruelly,

Went far away over night,

I yet sit in the graveyard,

Unaware of thy address,

And my little angel’s,

I vociferate,

I illustrate with the dead graves,

Our unfinished business!
