Hamd Ejaz Poems

once more, i remembered;
the time of dustless dawns
when the aurora used to rise behind two clenched hands; now one!
when the shadow of two lovers; one soul; used to greet the coming sun!
...

upon taking refuge in my dreams...
i look down at my palms
i look at what i always wanted
and then i look how it's absence haunted
...

AS THE SUN GOES DOWN THE RIVER
HER BEAUTY SURROUNDS THE HORIZON
I LOOK AT HER IVORY FACE
WHICH DISAPPEARED WITHOUT ANY TRACE
...

Alas! ! ! ! ! !
the inevitable has happened! !
the dark has consumed the light
the flame has consumed the candle
...

IT'S LIKE:
we are frozen by time
separated by ages
and held back by ego's
...

LOVE MEANT NOTHING FOR ME
ALWAYS TAKING BUT GIVING NOTHING TO ME
BUT YET IT GAVE!
PAIN, SORROWS AND NOTHING ELSE TO ME
...

ages, ago, in the time of timeless sands
of scorched lands, dust and draught
of modesty, faithfulness and love
of long perilious journeys,
...

the sun finally rises from the pit of eternal darkness
and i stare at its brilliance sitting by the window
the light passes through the dark; slithering its blood
the sky is now, crimson with the flood
...

it seems that an age has passed
but, now it seems that my wait will not last
eventually, i would see her by my eyes
and then i would be rewarded for my tries
...

i have wondered through the forests, deserts, mountains, valleys!
i have wondered through the castles, mansions, palaces, galleries
trying to find the answer to my questions!
i have travelled through the dense; deserted; hostile; hospitable places
...
