Kashmir-The Woman

Kashmir is the innocent beauty of nature
It lifted me above all mire dark and dense.

Kashmir is the divine smile
It gifted me a peace beyond all of my sense.

Kashmir is the sorrow
It showed me a combined pain of poverty, corruption and terrorism.

Kashmir is the beautiful helpless unmarried woman.
Whose neighbors are trying to capture her body not sweet heart.

Kashmir is the paradise on earth without dream...
  
SANDIP GOSWAMI, INDIA

( THE POEM IS DEDICATED TO EVERY WOMAN IN ALL COMMUNITIES OF JAMMU & KASHMIR AND POET ANDREA DIETRICH )

I am imagining this Asian beauty who's being courted by those around her....reminding me of the Asian district (Kashmir) that is also courted by the three countries that seek her hand, ie China, India and Pakistan. // paul

Kashmir is the beautiful helpless unmarried woman. Whose neighbors are trying to capture her body not sweet heart. loved the way you depicted it, maybe , who wants the body and who the heart , poor soul must decide herself. an old heart may make a wise decision now, that to whom she owes her heart, for whom it beats and breathes, for whom she have been sacrificing her sons and brothers since decades. beautiful poem i guess , very nicely written !

Kashmir is the neighbours which are trying to cspture her body not her sweet heart.There must be a neighbour,at least one who wants her heart. Kashmir is heaven in the earth without a dream..That would be kashmir indded to have enough of heaven,that one wont need to beg for it in dreams.I love your philosophy here ..CT
