PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Moving on in life's desert
Encountering all kinds of people
Men, women and children,
Plants, beasts and animals
As well as different insects
I am appalled at the diversity
Of all that I encounter
Sometimes at day time
Sometimes at night
And sometimes in between
Morning and noon.
I had planned a different journey
With the one beautiful woman
Who embodied the definition
Of God's vast dominion:
"Truth is beauty, beauty truth".
And in sooth
It was all grand and adventurous.
Like Katherine and Heathcliff
On the Yorkshire moors
Like Angel Clare and Tess
Of the forgotten D'urbervilles.
Like Jude the Obscure
And Troilus and Cressida
And the misfortune ridden
Paris and Helen -
With my sweet 'Desdemona'
Famous in this age
As Daphne of Ancienta.
Fate is a strange reveller
And its Writer is mysterious.
So I had to reconcile
With the unforgettable loss
Of my sweet Esmeralda.
And then I met the woman
Who, with love and care,
Pulled me out of the mire
Which sucks a good human.
With her "Bravo Naveed"!
She resuscitated me
And with undivided attention
Relighted my passion.
She is the only one
Who's my sole love
In this world of greed
Lust and domination.
From a man of fight she made me
A man of love and coolness
And I thank my fate's Writer
For this blessing of goodness.
Without her I would have been
As dead as I ever was
With her love I am now
A gentle man with good cause.
I love my beloved woman
With a love which no man can
Ever claim to possess
In this karmic life's span.
Believe it or not
We are two halves of a soul
Joined even before time
Made doomsday its goal.
