amar qamar Poems

CRASHING waves... SMASHING seas...
Bringing sailors to their knees.
As they struggle to save their lives
Hoping and praying, help arrives.
...

It calls me closer, its calls me near
'Just once and it'll be over'
Death whispers in my ear
Irresistible is its sweet entice
...

Darkness surrounds me, completely shrouded,
Thinking and movements totally clouded
Try to run but my legs go weak
I hear movement, the stairs creak
...

Humanity spread across the expanse of space
Into the unknown, as if a race
Starship after starship spread the seed
After that first step, we were finally freed
...

Why did I get in the damn boat?
Now I'm in the middle of nowhere
Struggling to stay afloat.
Waves wash over me, and I gasp for air.
...

I'm running to cleanse my soul.
"From what? To where? "
At this moment I do not care.
Rain drops beat against my face.
...

Day after day same monotonous routines
Work and more work is that all it means
From this moment onwards until I'm old,
Be walking to work, rain, snow and cold
...

I'm writing this, so I'm not forgotten
Actions and intentions ebb, once the bones be rotten
I once planted an apple tree, to leave my mark
As tall as a house, still unbeknown, still my name in the dark
...

I had it once, now it's gone
Like a knot it's been undone
Was once so tight, now so slack
Happy times I wish I could have back
...

Echoing of a melody
Resonating in memory
Straw less grasped
Heart once clasped
...
