I miss the hazy sunsets
And the mayhem on the roads
Impatient drivers through security checks
Short-tempered pedestrians
I took a trip back home
With my fears
And reservations uncalled for
I tread carefully
Cautious to the core
I looked at things with mixed feelings
But it all changed
With in matter of days
What was it that changed it all?
I do not know
The water, the sweet smell of soil
The people
The invisible bond
Of growing up
I am torn
Between then and now
I miss the cold evenings
And the dim lit streets
I miss the faces
I called my own
I love the place for what it is
I miss Pakistan
It hurts
the trip back home
this is a very touching poem. I feel your emotions for
your homeland. I assure you there will never be another
place like home. But sometimes we must move on. there
is one consulation, you can always return for a visit. Each
one of us is planted in our homeland, our roots are embedded
there. I have friends in Pakistan. back to your poem
your poem is well constructed, your presentation is great
and easy to read. A work well written.
