Age Counts

Girls still look at me and though they smile... Their eyes speak A multitude of words. Once offering me hearts No longer I see My age revealed by the creases of time I feel my insides breaking into pieces. The hope of the dream... Vanishes in a cold sigh. _____ Poem In Pashto By: Afzal Shauq Translated in English By: Alley Boling Book: 'TWIST OF FATES' Poem No.263/Page.336 Web Link: http: //khyberwatch.com/nandara/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=378&Itemid=1 PDF files: http: //khyber.org/books/ashauq/index.shtml Poet's weblog: www.tolafghan.com/members/afzalshauq © Afzal Shauq
