Paghunda Zahid Poet Free verse

In a Parallel Universe

In a parallel universe
Is there another me? 
Somewhere in a parallel universe
Quite near, yet very far
In a magical world
Where I have long white wings
I wave them upon mighty Oceans
Against the ferocious storms
Rest them on crowded offshoots of dark jungles
And return back at night to the den
That lies up in mountains ___ above the clouds... 

In yet another universe near by
Is there a different me__? 
Trapped inside a cage
Wings atrophied__
The art of flying forgotten__
Even the desire __ to take a flight __is dead
Just walls __
And walks__ In a close loop... 

Or is it just me? 
One and only __ in the unlimited multiverses

But these feelings in my beating heart__
Something in my mind___ tells me
They exist... 
Are they, like me, thinking about me__ right now? 

What if one of them open a portal 
And enter my world___
How would we feel? 
Would we like each others’ life style? 
Or is it, “grass is always greener on the other side”

But I wish her to be the one with mighty feathers
Would Swipe my life with her __ for a day or two
To feel my long dark hair
Floating on air waves
As I glide and soar high & high
Above the world
In a sweel parallel universe

Maurice Rigoler August 2, 2025 at 12:37 PM Parallel worlds may be possible, but knowing there is another me somewhere is unsettling. / Maurice Paghunda Zahid August 2, 2025 at 1:07 PM Hi Maurice, I hope you're good. Well, yeah may be.. But if there is a mirror universe or universes, the there is a mirror me. Isn't it interesting

Suzanne Delaney September 23, 2022 at 2:56 AM Hi Paghunda: Your imagination can take you anywhere. My friend told me about a book that explores this subject “A Darker Shade of Magic.” by VE Schwab. Paghunda Zahid August 2, 2025 at 1:07 PM Cool

Susan Ashley July 25, 2021 at 8:37 AM Dearest Paghunda, you vivid, vibrant and profound pen spills with a potent magical potion that brings me to the essence of your impassioned poetic realm centered "in the unlimited multiverses".

Richard Lamoureux July 13, 2021 at 7:00 AM I sometimes wonder if we have a glimpse of the parallel world when we look in a mirror. I enjoyed reading your contemplations. Well done. Paghunda Zahid July 13, 2021 at 10:38 AM What if these mirrors are actually portals to the other worlds!!

Andrea Dietrich July 12, 2021 at 1:58 PM oh I think about this too. I think it is actually possible. Love this. A fave. Paghunda Zahid July 13, 2021 at 10:38 AM So nice of you Andrea

Gershon Wolf July 10, 2021 at 8:37 PM Ah, this is wonderful poetry, Paghunda. I really enjoy your speculative musing. Such things I have not thought of for decades. Thanks for the reawakening! A FAVE for me! :) gw Paghunda Zahid July 11, 2021 at 2:26 PM Aww I am glad that it triggered your imaginations... Thank you!

Jennifer Proxenos July 10, 2021 at 12:14 PM Your sweet parallel universe - make me think, what if the other opens a portal and enters my world, would we know who is who? Wonderful poetry, love your imagination! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. P.S. My Planet of Venus poem has as yet not been marked, the Sponsor has not marked the contest thus far. Paghunda Zahid July 10, 2021 at 1:38 PM Thanks Jenn... Well they say the difference can be as small as a difference of a mole or as large as a difference of gender... So can't say anything if we will know who is who or not.. Lol

Paul Callus July 10, 2021 at 3:37 AM The concept you project in this creative poem gives me food for thought, Paghunda! For sure it sets my imagination in motion, wondering about "ifs". Maybe one day more things will be revealed to us.... Best regards // paul Paghunda Zahid July 10, 2021 at 1:36 PM Yes, indeed... Thank you

Evelyn Judy Buehler July 9, 2021 at 9:01 PM The idea of parallel universes is a fascinating idea to me. Your poem is intriguing and excellently written. Paghunda Zahid July 10, 2021 at 1:36 PM Thanks Evelyn

Christuraj Alex July 9, 2021 at 8:30 PM The parallel universe, indeed, is a beautiful concept. Wonderfully done. Paghunda Zahid July 10, 2021 at 1:36 PM Yupp

Gail Debole July 9, 2021 at 1:49 PM Hi Paghunda, Unique concept for a poem! Wouldn't it be so interesting if we did have counterparts in different universes and we could meet them? Supposedly, we all have someone who is physically identical to us in this world. - Take care and stay safe in all that you do, Gail Paghunda Zahid July 10, 2021 at 1:37 PM Yeah, it is such an interesting concept
