A Scar

Time has eased the hurtful pain,
Eyes do not shed tears.
Solitude has lost its charm,
Mind has shed its fears.

Heart is healed of its deep wound.
But won’t yield the scar.
A treasured gift that was left
By someone so far.

Funny when you're hurt by someone yet you still treasure everything. Martyrdom is another form of love that can only be understood by few people who can truly love. :) Two stanzas that clearly states the true meaning of love. Your poems are so beautiful, Shabeeh. Your are gifted. :)

[Shabeeh Haider]

Your comparison of martyrdom is indeed great. It is the supreme sacrifice of love. Thank you for your very kind words

Thank you farmgirl

Usually I don't prefer the shorter poems becuz I find myself wanting MORE . . . but in this case, I think you've made a good point without elaborating on it. I very much like the idea of the heart healing but still having a scar, which represents all the tough stuff. This conjures up many related ideas in the reader's mind. By the way, sorry I've been off this website for a few months & I've missed reading you!

[Shabeeh Haider]

Nice to have you back.
I noticed you weren't here. Hope all is well.
Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Shabeeh Haider,
"A Scar"
How many times in the aftermath of hurt, loss, catastrophe do human beings realize that something good will emerge from the grave of their suffering?
"Time has eased hurtful pain, eyes do not shed tears. solitude lost its charm. Mind shed its fears."
These inner changes show a new strength is now present and that is wonderful!
To come out the other side with grace is also beautiful; "Heart is healed of its deep wound to But won't yield the scar." I find this very meaningful as "the scar' shows maybe that we have learned something and/or become wiser, more gracious, careful?
"Treasured gift by someone so far."
You presented a hope filled poem.
Blessings to you
Kathy

I read the poem in 4 seconds but its emotions seem to be imprinted in my mind.
Well the scar you described.....

A treasured gift that was left
By someone so far.

Well that is so true and insightful.

[Shabeeh Haider]

[Danai]

It might stop hurting but it will always mark a scar... wonderfull poem

[Shabeeh Haider]

Danai, thank you so much

[Zee Langa]

All might be healed but the scar left behind will be the reminder of the experience you went through to get it.

[Shabeeh Haider]

Zee, what you have said is true and who knows it better than a poet

[Zee Langa]

True that Shabeeh. A poet knows how to find the deepest secrets in the heart.

[Fahmida Mehreen]

Fresh wounds don't heal in just a flick of fingers. And, even after the wounds heal it leave back its mark. Something, that keep on reminding what brought it in the first place. But, even carrying the battered wounds and scars, life moves on. Not for a second will it stop. Not even in the second when you look down to gaze at your scar.

Nice piece put up.

[Shabeeh Haider]

Fahmida, you have summed it up so well. Thank you for your very kind words

[Vatsal Rohilla (account..]

Very well-written again. I like the rhyming and the way you have expressed your emotions. Well-written and keep writing.

[Shabeeh Haider]

Vatsal, thank you for your kind review
