verse works of Shahwar Kibria

Tittle-Tattle


We all tell stories


Of ourselves


To ourselves






We all expect miracles


Everyday we get onto the


Manic show-off bus






We all pet fairies


In our back-yard


Where we water golden lilies with silver dew






We all sing carols


Every night and pray


The next day to be a Christmas






We all know ourselves


Too well enough


To love ourselves, ever






We all want someone


To know us


And love us better, than us






We all know


That we dream


With eyes wide open






We all know


We will perish


Otherwise, thereafter






We all tell stories


Breathe silent epics


We all try to know


Ourselves






And we all fail


Everyday






And thus


We write poems!

Very fine poem.'
We all want someone
To know us
And love us better'-yes,we expect more love from others,but don't care how much love we give them.
'We all know
We will perish'-but forget it.
'We all try to know
Ourselves
And we all fail
Everyday'-why we fail? Perhaps we don't know the right path to know ourselves.
With love&regds.
