Gulsher john
Candle in the wind
In a dark gloomy night
And the around was blessed with fear and fright
Rain, lightning and thunder storm
snatched away the sweet night`s charm
A child of ten and two
Was dressed in red and blue
Lapped by a mother tight and close
A last hug of her dear son, she knows.'
In her tender but shivering arms,
Try to make him calm.
Her love Faith and tears
All were melting in despair
Helpless to ease her child`s pain
She prayed but all in vain.
The mother was sure
That her son`s curse will never be cured
And he will never see and hear
The next rising sun and the morning cheers.
In his meek broken voice
The boy stated last his choice
'But why heaven cursed me so?
Like storm engulfs an exhausted dove
Did I do any wrong that much? '
That spared my soul for devil`s touch? '
'I just followed the butterflies
And echoed the singing birds cries
Wandered around the daffodils and lilies
And was friendly with every living species
Loved the colors of rainbow
And always versed in a gentle lingo, '
Then why my cursed not ceased?
Deprived from all fun and feast'
Ah! His poor broken heart mother
Kissed him hard and Burst into tears
'O heaven send thy mercy
Spare my child from such harsh tendency
He is just two and ten
And never did any sin.
My heart is bleeding
And you're even not heeding
Bless his soul and ease his dying breaths
Be kind O lord! In these hours of death.

Heartbreaking poem. Filled with sadness that i couldnt stop my body from shivering. Wondering what happened next.
This is much different from typical Gulsherian. I have no right to rate this piece and comment for it what I can do read it as many times as I can till my heartbeats get to normal. Tears dear tears you brought I could not see the words correctly. the light in the room mingled with my tears and I have to dry my eyes again and again. No one knows why but I know. I have said this once Why me Allah. I loved this Gulsher. I am already a fan of your artistic ability and the way you choose your words and then arrange them in such a way that the reader is enchanted.
A fantastic Narrative poem that has the power of an Epic
