Dreaming



Day dreaming is bad
But dreaming is a must
Fot it is dreams that spread our hopes
On sleep's canavas
And what would we be without dreams
One may just reckon
Like a fireunlit
Or a lifeless body
Under the heap of dust !!

Sheila Sheila Zulfiqar Ahhmed

University of Karachi, Assistant Prof 1994-2016.. i write poetry in English and my native language urdu too but kept it to myself mostly....as my profession is very demanding engaged in teaching and research i wish I had a lot of time to tap more often those moments when i feel like writing poetry...........but whatever i have written to date came straight from events in my life .. i mean ...didnt imagine situations and wrote poetry..so one day when i will publish my anthology , God willing,i believe it would be sort of an autobiography of my emotional vicissititudes....poetry has been soothing ...healing and the only conduit through which I expressed myself when due to unavoidable reasons I stopped writing research articles...an area where again i always have tried to give genuine ideas....so i love poetry and i think poets in many unimaginable ways give so much to others as hope, as inspiration, as moments of catharsis, feeling that others too are going through similar pains that gives poetry the speacial place it has enjoyed in the annals of history. more… more…
