Lying littered with nascence, so much fettered with demise,
why this untraced grave of life still a surprising surmise?!
A dazzle of broken promises and an apparition of dreams,
Dancing across the gleaming embers of your silent screams
With all the shore-ward rage and the shores nowhere onshore,
did I watch myself flourish a thousand years and many more?!
For all that I'm not being, is everything save the reality,
for all else I'm Being, represents everything, but the Dream
To exist in myself is to languish in the smoulders of desire,
to live is to thrust oneself into the raging fire of requiem
Would the dread of chancing upon you enliven my intrepid soul,
my heart and being would be woof and weft to this holy scheme
Just put off these embers aflame, choke down your mute scream,
as I dazzle in your broken promises, as I become a shaded dream...!
I like the new look of your blog Mezraab!
ReplyDeleteThe beginning part of the poem hides anger, then the second part seems to be silent sadness...
your self (and unself) is closer to the eye, than the eyelashes, as quotes an old saying :)
Salamalykum & Ramdhan Kareem!
ReplyDeleteMay you & your family alongwith me & mine be blessed with all the mundane & divine mercies, forgiveness and deliverance that this Holy month entails, aameen
besides, it reveals apathy borne out of the empathy for the one...!
ThankU once again, may your eyes be the witness to your dreams coming true..! :)
ramathan kareem to you too!
ReplyDeleteI don't have the eloquence to reply to your kind wishes, so instead I'll just say Ameen :)
I hope both you and your family are blessed with both beautiful dreams & reality, preserved by the best of health
You're very welcome
ThankU much for your kind words & supplications, May almighty grant them.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, had wishing well been about eloquence and all such stuff, the dumb, mute & blind ones would grab Lord's collar on the judgement day, perhaps this is why HE said, inna ma'l a'amalu bi niyyah...!!!
Pleas remember in Ur Duas!
