My Soul Flew In Immortal Memory Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

My Soul Flew In Immortal Memory

Rating: 5.0


My soul flew in immortal memory
That last of breath and deep melancholy
For when they reach the scene of romance
Sway sway leaves of courage for all nature round

I face more smiles and live with more tenderness
And moon still be as white as angel's hands
Whose hope that love is sure to receive
The cherry blossoms bend over

All night long in flood and storm
More lively than the king of the bravest
Autumn hoards rubies of heart in silence
Delighted me to hear thee recite old poems

Within fear that on belief hung glowing
To follow desire like a sinking bird
Behind I hear the hunter's wishes
When fate's puppet was gone

In this blue husk of days
Is poured around the faith
Melody, Color, and Word
Is enough for Humankind?

(dedicated to a great poet at poemhunter, Ms. Maya Angelou)
