Random lamentation ..

Posted: Jun 29, 2009 Mon 02:18 am     Views: 234    Interacts: 5

No sign preceded the tempest;
the sky hid secrets
under the hoax of clear azure

before it split
to inflict a fierce pain-storm
upon me.

And wells swelled with every
step you took on your way
back in your sudden defection
from my chest.

The tides rose
to blur the dreams
of islands in my eyes.

Like a boat, severed
with torn up sails, I float

on the whims
of wild winds intent
on giving me the torture
of your loss
before sinking me deep
into obscurity.

@ leenah .. yes, that was loss .. I was lost in the lost :P
So very thanks for correction as well as for liking the poem :) I like your comments for you are one of the galaxy of ilogers I admire on chowk.

@ Nikhat .. I'm indebted for your kind words! Bless you! :)

Oh My God...That’s ur humility and kindness brother. But My English and Urdu both are bad- still ‘Tifl-e-maktab’u know.
Your poems all that I came across though are devoid of lofty philosophical ideas but are packed with sweet sentiments of youthful romanticism and fetish for nature which clicks me. So keep writing, keep experimenting and keep learning.
Allah bless you!

I like this one the best

The tides rose
to blur the islands of dreams
in my eyes

reminds me of an incomplete story ,
'uski aankhon mein Raavi chadnay laga. Khawaboon kay sabhi jazeeray jaisay dhundli yad ho gaey....'

Aadil, isn't it 'loss' in the 3rd last line?

Thanks a lot Nikhat! I'd like you to comment me for improvement as well as I wrote it in a rush to feed my blog, a naive approach to writing poetry, though :)

Oh! it is soooo beautiful!!!
Similies of nature has turned this poetry into an emotional 'Paani-Paani' painting. Every word strikes the chord of imagination to embarg you on a sad tale of a lonely voyager.
