in the darkness
of your eyes
i search for light
the night presses me down
pushing me
under
lower
still
i slip
nails grasping flesh
my fall broken
by a promise kept.
searching for light

"my fall broken
by a promise kept"..not just these lines but all of this piece reveals our constant search for that something....eternal i would call it!
Am coming by after a while..Hope all is well with you!
I LOVE the way you manage words about life!
sometimes it's like you "read my mind"
i love this sensation :-)
thanks jyo! it is about that search....

i can relate to this poem. how we hold on amidst uncertainty. and then hope finds its way
"my fall broken
by a promise kept."
beautiful poem gulnaz :)
You have got it exactly right! The sense of floating or falling that passion causes countered by the constant fear of another coupled with the relief that comes when you find out the promise is kept! Wow, now were truely talking about some awesome talent! You took me here! Way to be Gulnaz!
hmmmm
Hi to you too, love this particularly the way you've broken it up. on the outside looking in.
ditto what sue said. intelligent and thoughtful.
Very nice! You certainly know to play around with words... Now thts a talent! Any plans of making it big? I would say, go for it!!!
When i read this piece, i get a different perception everytime.. Thts cool...

Gs.. somehow these three lines are the most "romantic" for me.. with deeper meanings too than meets the eye.
Gulanz--I have been to India once and we were mainly in the south Kerela and in Karnataka state at the base of the western Ghats. It was really pretty. I really enjoyed Halebid and Belur. I did not know about deserts though--is that north? Where do you live?
"my fall broken

I can see you suspended in someones gaze, as if their eyes are enough to hold you.
Beautiful.
Falling is part of life.
Having someone near to break your fall is part of love.
I wish everyone someone to love and who loves them.
Gulnaz, I enjoy your poetry so much. You express so much in so few words.
i love the flowing sensuality of it all. like the words scooping me up and dropping me, and me falling comfortably on a sea of clouds. bravo, gulnaz!
light in the darkness of ur eyes!Profound and beautiful.
"Fall broken by a promise kept" ....sounds so heartfelt.

Sensuously dark - depressing isn't it how a relationship that should be libreating can become the reason for suffocation and eventual defeat?
this makes my lip quiver.
Yea, I did not think about that. Good thing you did not mention that. Thank you
my fall broken by a promise kept...

and maybe the darkness will force her to look for her own light. i hope she finds her own light....that is the only one which stays.
Pinzi- those lines are hope, its a prayer. hey!! dont be silly now! hugs! and thanks!
This almost seems to be violent. Strange how I get that impression when I read the lines:
pushing me
under
lower
still
i slip
nails grasping flesh
Amazing how we all get different impressions.
I can only echo the sentiments already expressed. for sure the lines "my fall broken by a promise kept" are exceptional... and somewheat cryptic... this is all a mystery :)
stan- there is violence in being suppressed, you are right.
small squirrel- :) lets keep that way then. :) thanks.
in the darkness
of your eyes
That is like an epic poem inside the poem itself. So open ended, so full of images personal and separate to each of us...Thanks for mesmerizing me with your words Gulnaz, I needed that! :-)
Jaxe- thanks! you really are very sweet and encouraging! :)
