Colours and Poetry
By Farah Naz
Lighting up a Soul
The world will laugh at my futility
Oh tell me, do I fear my love?
In the silhouette of life
I have longed for such delight.
I have longed for your love and zeal.
I read you when your heart was sealed,
with the agony of long lost love
and broken dreams.
I decoded your words when you spoke
without speaking a word.
In silent tone you spoke
and I felt you in hundreds silent ways.
Then you muttered...
You will burn yourself
in the fire of loneliness,
Behold your ardour.
With a twinge in my soul I laughed.
I whispered in husky voice...
How would I offer you the drink of life, then?
A terracotta pot must ablaze in flames.
To be sculpted...
Without burning it will distort.
It must burn in the fire to be sculpted.
To offer you a sip to quench your thirst
I must be moulded to hold the water first.
Entwined
We are like the earth and the azure sky
never meant to meet.
I wish I were the white clouds
I wish you were the blue space
In that way I could float in your bosom.
If you preferred to be the verdant earth
I would still be able to pour into your bosom
As spring shower, summer rain or autumns cascade
And soak you tenderly in love.
A long sigh of despair...
I am not a cloud!
You are the lofty blue sphere,
And I am the opulent earth.
We bestow life, beauty and joy to others.
We hold love, dream and exuberance for others
Even though we cannot embrace each others
Apparently we meet in the dawn and twilight
That meeting of ours radiate the cosmos
We meet to exude hope between devotees.
When two souls consume each other
in the afterglow of love and devotion,
We meet forever in between spell and realm.
Our love finds it epitome.
The Wedding Lights
From the high rise apartment
of my neighbourhood
Those softly glowing,
countless strings of lights
happily swaying in the air.
Tulip shaped sodium lights
flickers its radiance around.
That illumination sprinkles
feeling of heavenly delights.
Those glittering lights hold
the promise of a new beginning
That bright luminosity speaks
about the divine means
of two souls and many hearts.
Laughter smiles echoes afar,
Cheerful reflection of lights on every individual.
Brilliance gleams.
Untold words of many years,
Unshared dreams of countless spring
Waits in radiance
Sweet dreams, hopes and aspirations
of loving days assures to flourish in time.
With unbridled anticipation I glimpse on...
The wedding lights of my neighbourhood
illuminates the joyous union of two amorous souls.
