Can Graves Be The Alternate..? Poem by Aamir Abdullah

Title: Can graves be the alternate....
(A poem for my late father)

YOU went on a journey
. . . . . . .endless
With seagulls from the
heavens
Who flew to carry your breath
To mix it with fragrances and aromas
God breathes out

You went to live by the
Streams of honey
and walk by the oceans of divinity
And sleep into the plushy wings of the angels
To enjoy the contentment
and calmness and serenity

Listen to what the breeze says
The rose_ wood you planted
In my heart
has shed all the leaves at once
All the beaks have lost their chirps
And all the flowers
have become dried and shrivelled
Tears twinkle into the corners of my eyes

A hug is due upon you
I wanted in my childhood
and more eagerlyin my youth

You went on a journey
. . . . . . .endless
Leaving me barefooted
On sands
Burning under the sun
. . . . . .merciless

Can graves be the alternate
Of bodies and souls
Of those
We are the extensions of! ! !
