in the simplest of terms By Zaheda Ghani Oct.-Dec. 1999 Lemar-Aftaab my eyes rain warm waters. you are my everything. my evening star, always first to show its face. i trust u, as if you are my own shadow, a stronger shadow than i can ever be as a person. this monsoon rain reminds me of your kindness. no matter what color i showed you, you always stayed true. you let me throw my childish tantrums, and disregard the world, and you knew better. i am gazing at the sky, as my lips recite your stories and your name, you are my everything, my evening star. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Other work by Zaheda Ghani: untitled (poem) April-Sept. 1999 The Music and the Spirit (prose) Oct-Dec 1998 My Journey and My Prayer (poem) July-Sept 1998 Fragmentations (poem) July-Sept 1998 in a tiny black box (poem) April-June 1998 Afghanistan...
