Poetry Written by Farhat Afzal

-(Tanka verses)-

Curtain hide my shame
A curtain covers my tears
Curtain call, last act
The stage is full of people
A mysterious feeling

Lights go dim and dark
The performance is over
The curtain raiser
A tale full of mystery
Out from behind the curtains

Drawn, opened, pulled, closed
It’s just a matter of time
It’s time of the night
Night is dark and mystical
Starlight, moonlight, morning light
