Symbols Of Tyranny Poem by Irfan Bashir

Once upon a tribal time
When we dwelt on spoils and errors,
Transcendent from paroxysm of spite
A rector trounced and evaded,
Espied extended silhouettes
Through his tangerine eyes.

"I create as I speak
Some unspoken legends;
Turn on the dark
For I will exhibit
A cosmos so bright that
Light will obliterate."

"As you ponder in my thoughts
A serene depth of broken bonds,
You will perceive but not
That of which I forbid."

"Doth inherit what ye shalt
If it art what ye seek."

The Fire and moon swirled in violet
Till an aura the stars discerned.
Motes of memories that lay moribund,
Purled and transmigrated in a maelstrom.
Few flashes of stupor
Of an epileptic fit elfish face
Buckled against the heart of waves.

A torrent of thoughts echoed
Through the ears of life,
To bare a bedlam of beatitude.
A violet volition of vain lust
Had subdued within forever.

"Such are dairies of teenage odyssey
(Symbols of tyranny)
They perish before they begin.
Such was mine and so will be yours
For we slumber in chaos- meekly."

"Thy scorching swirls hast tasted fire
And shalt inherit what ye desire
If it art what ye seek."
