Sunlight Falls On You Poem by Naveed Akram

Sunlight fell, in the face of glory, who is my companion?
The stars of heaven begged for being, mastering us all.
It may be that problems are satisfactory for the forms of the soul,
But philosophers argue that ague and agreement falter.
Sunlight believes that you are an example of equality,
Reality is the starting point for the plainly righteous,
Their sunlight is their moonlight, their vigil is at night.
Night is a curious blend of excitement and misery,
But nights outstrip our eyes, nights beget other nights
That are from the righteous folk who are your kinsmen.

Who is my soul now? The universe has breathed like a ghost,
It shudders from your shuddering, the stars have orchestras
That you delay, that you play without remorse, so belittling
That ghosts are those phantoms fleeing like a device.
In the face of miserable men we strive and conquer
Like an anaconda or a constrictor, that minds the devil and
Demon. Why do your eyes cry from the pain?
