saadat tahir Poems

Callous minds won’t morph to rose

Vacant pages, never as a book pose
...

Cramming knowledge wont make genteel those deep within uncouth
Brass never turns to gold even set with ruby’s jewel’s truth
Miserly canst charity dole even if they own millions treasure
Bhuleya death in Medina cant heaven get, sans ONE GOD’s measure
...

Its cold, it's so windy
I go about dangling alone
Do they think, I am easy?
And to such gusts prone?
...

Mornings come and mornings go.
Ceaseless winds timeless blow.
As kismet rolls its enduring gall.
Another domino tumbles falls.
...

Slowly the sun has lost its light,
Worlds, love, are left to blight.

Harshly brushed from the sky,
...

Piling mounds of plastic bags.
Rotting heaps of oily rags.
Sifting, rifting weathered hags.
Cut and scarred by piercing jags.
...

(Plight of an abandoned elderly social worker)

Drag a well worn ring apart,
and ring the middle finger,
...

(If I were a colorful tropical frog… :) …)

If I were prince of Persia
Myself and Me alone
...

Away to strings, where passions swing.
Know no sense nor reason’s rhyme.
Aloft ye come bring forth thy wings
to free me rise and sing to chimes.
...

Venus’ revenge hath begot,
vile designed abhorrent plot.

Phoebus oggles Leucothoe’s cleave.
...
