Sand dunes will forget,
Every transgression of your footstep.
The wind can live without,
The shrill speech of your silent doubt.
The buzzards will look aside,
And leave your corpse to die.
Shards of hope still hang from trees,
These days they smell of futility.
Perhaps your dismal dance of death,
Is better than eternal complicity.
The parched land will darkness await,
As you plunge into the golden sunset.

I add this to one of your best poems ~
Oh, and I love the picture..
:-)
That's one real nice poem.
And,yea....the pic's powerful.
i don't know what you mean exactly Wriju but whatever you mean, you expressed it beautifully. Which is what poetry is about.
I believe i saw this woman from Afghanistan that was just a girl in this photo a couple of years ago in a feature in a magazine. The eyes, that stare, are exactly the same.
The parched land will darkness await,
As you plunge into the golden sunset.
...beautiful lines.
I had seen this photo long back, but you have given an admirable meaning to it.
Excellent.
The photo completely compliments
the observor and the observed.
dear bhondhu...how r u..n where r u?
Hey Wriju.. you're tagged.
is there any particular reason why someone is overly cryptic these days? Or has me just descended into the group that understands nothing?!

Vasu:
Glad you liked it.
Thanks :-)
Tanvi:
Thanks!
Chloe:
Yes she is from Afghanistan. The pic is from the 80s. National Geographic recently did another article on her and they had a hard time finding her. She looks different now, the fire's missing from her eyes.
Madhuri:
The picture is something I added much later, for the blog entry. The poem is not about her really. But it could be about her.
Sophie:
Thanks!
