Sunset I Poem by Naveed Khalid

Ah, me all too weird of this far-fetched sky,
That to my unattended looks of eyes so blind
Ere you know by what cruel hand or eye;
Oft unmoved by what I write to my love
From out of the blues in still waters,
That forfeited dark in Hades of a star
Against the world of thy most high deserts,
Away from out of sight to my mind still:
a heart-rending night of unnerved blood in vein,
I, too, hath stood and wept in hurtlings of past woe
To beweep my outcast state forlorn,
Of plumed hat on knees in ruffled feathers
That crow's quill to my e'er living memory,
Along the pavement of cow parsley
E'ery flower upon a barren heath of ages that are dead,
Agoing, agoing to morning's pure serene in my bed of crimson joy.
