Conflicts Poem by Azhar Ibrahim

Conflicts

Rating: 5.0


Walking in the streets of sins
it felt hard to hide from those you love;
for the one you love.

I never knew my heart could weigh much;
each beat seemed like a ton,
thrown away from the top of the hill
deep down to the bottom of my soul

My heart kept quarrelling;
a duel of conflicting emotions
twisting and bleeding my very soul;

to love or to be loved?
to sin or to be sinned?
i wanted to be free,
clear and pure as a crystal;
like a fish in the clear brook;
like the pebbles and the algae
resting peacefully in a stream;

If only my thoughts were the same,
I wish... I wish... I wish...

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem came to followed by a chain of events that happened in my life. I had a lot of feelings in my heart and one of my teacher influenced me to let those feelings flow through a poem.

I used to be a perfect person once. It was then i met this girl and fell for her. My life completely changed since then.. I couldn't do anything.
I wanna become the old me... where my mind is an open book.
And whatever my thoughts are, let it be the good ones or bad ones.. I wish i had nothing to hide from anyone. I wish my heart to be like a stream in which anyone can see my fishes and my algae, that is my good and bad thoughts.

This is like my second poem or something, and i know that am not good at poems but i've to let go of my feelings.

I have read this poem once. Whatever you do, you could directly direct your hand to sky. You don't need to whisper at anyone's doorsteps to purify. I love the poem and its diction. Congratulation. You have a lot in you. Plz keep writing and show them, those who try to stop you even in dreams, that you are indestructible.

A well articulated train of thoughts penned in poetic diction to capture the essence of the poem and the poet's convictions. A very nice piece indeed. Thanks for sharing and do keep it up. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
