Solace Poem by Aneez Mohamed

Today, I wept as if it rained heavily

In my barren mind

Those droplets kindled deepen memories

sparkled bits of flame.

Times when tear inflames are times of fervor

Wish I could weep every day, if it could bring blossoms at the end.


Today, standing at the crossroads


In search of the life once painted in mind, I

found those shadings bleached, sketched by

those beautiful brushes that touched my canvas.


In search of the rhythm once tapped, I

hear the music out of strings, sang

by those nightingales I met in life.



I need that canvas of mind, to

touch and enrich my life with colors.

I need that strings of soul, to sing alot

and scream aloud.

Today, my hands seems empty, as i dropped

those diamonds in the way i passed

Promise that i would take steps back to

find and treasure those diamonds forever

that glittered my very life.
