Poetry Break: Anwer Ghani

By: Anwer Ghani

Silent Tree

These birds love the silent tree and like to sit on that branch. You know; love is an unexplained thing, but we know it well. From that beautiful twig, leaves and feathers fell with a feisty smile. This was something heavy for that tired tree full of sad stories. She always goes down to clean the floor of frivolous feathers. Her slender fingers drown butterflies and her broken heart sings absent songs. I saw her kissing the water like my voice that I forgot at the deferred start.
