Love Or Lust Poem by shirin sheikhi

Love Or Lust

Rating: 5.0


Well designed hearts
In the sands in deserts
Drawn by the fingertips
Of the so-called lovers
Crossed on the curves
To stay forever together
Supposedly on the hills
Indicating infatuated manners


Devotion kindlings set fires
In the souls in return
Naked flames of romance
Which swallows faithful lovers
Blessedly eternal
May be sometimes blaze or shimmer
Brightens the life
As it rise heart horizon in heavens

Breeze waltz with grains of the sand
And flames in summers
Flames are flared
Patterns are vanished in second
Do unveil that breeze
To find its real face which differs
Its elapsing time
As imposter of wind on the earth
Passing time substantiates
love claims if real

Dear poetess Shirin, liked these lines: Naked flames of romance Which swallows faithful lovers Blessedly eternal May be sometimes blaze or shimmers Brightens the life As it rise heart horizon in heavens real love is always spiritual. but human beings need the body too.. elevate the human to the divine.. this is our call as poets.

for me the dilemma was kindeled by callimachus in ancient rome and came up close face to face near at home in the shape of renderings of Baba bulleh shah.....a renownwed spiritual poet of punjabi... u have done a great job... a potent and evergreen topic..... awesome rendering and a potent heady mix of emotion.. cheers and ten
