Conqueror Of The Light Poem by Afrooz Jafarinoor

Conqueror Of The Light

Rating: 5.0


Which road should I take where you're not there
You whose name is on all distances...
Oh tired conqueror of the light
Whose body is still left there
In the domain of darkness
Whose heart was still beating
In the claws of the devil
When on me you cast
Your last tired glance...
I was the eager traveler
On the road to light
Not thinking of darkness
Looking over distances
You saw the glitter in my eyes
You thought of the travelers
On faraway roads
You wanted a torch for me
And headed for the fight
Against the devil...
I was not of the kind
To want the light for me alone
And you were not of the kind
To remain stabbed and heartless
You went and I went
And the road is still remaining
My poetry is still flowing
I know that some day, somewhere,
Your wandering spirit
Will have a sip
And you'll be back
In another body
In another birth...

Beautiful! Could wondering spirits ever find what they are looking for? Or were they meant to never stop but search through one life after another? Is there forever a forced hold on when found the things we're looking for? Your poem to my soul brings the amazing insight, sort of awareness of my constant needs. Brilliant pen thank you for sharing!
