A Poet Lives In Twilights Poem by Akhtar Jawad

A Poet Lives In Twilights

Rating: 5.0


What else are the days and the nights?
A gap between charming twilights!
Struggles in a day sunny and bright,
loving someone in a soothing moonlight,
at early stages it had many charms,
climax of charms in a woman's arms!
Gradually he becomes used to with it,
To a life routine a poet is misfit.
He begins his life in the morning twilight,
see his climax in the evening twilight,
the aurora of dawns when asks a machine,
to face the rings of the life's phosphine,
he sees phosphene while rubbing eyelids,
sees faces of spouse and innocent kids,
he starts life with a parting kiss,
the poem of dreams in the day he'll miss.
The poet is now dead and man is alive,
in the ocean of life now see his dive!
He knows an evening aurora is ahead,
will born once again in the day he's dead,
lo he's dreaming in the evening twilight,
charms of love in a lovely night,
and lo he has written a poem on his heart,
this time he will not forget his art,
with her silky hairs spread on his thighs,
the sleepy beloved with the content sighs,
her arms round belly smiling and dreaming,
in skirt of his shirt her nudes screening,
ending poet's life with a sleepy smile,
another poem in the poet's profile!

'The poet is now dead and man is alive, in the ocean of life now see his dive! ' The life of a poet is always enchanting, whether it be in the earlier days, or the very late 'twilight' phrase.. Pain and pleasure interwine in the life of a poet like no other living being. A fabulous poem that showcases the 'twilight' of the poet with painstriking beauty.. Thanks for sharing Akhtar sahab.

I have never fully understood romance let alone really experienced it, but I know it exists and Akhtar is the best at putting it into words for people like me to appreciate.

Being a human being our hearts keeps pulling towards the love, After a day's long struggle one does seeks solace in beloveds arms. The final destination after conquering this world.

Beautifully titled poem. Very lovely images of a poet's life seen through a poet's eyes. Love and romance are necessary for poetic imagination. And this poem portrays the beauty of a poet's love life. A poet's fancy catches fire from love. Poetry and love go hand in hand. Full marks to you sir for writing this.
