The only thing I am left with – English poem by Ali Rasheed

The only thing I am left with – English poem by Ali Rasheed

 

The settling sun,

Reminds me of my settling times,

My heart drowns

And my brain sleeps in negligence.

 

 

The only thing I am left with - English poem by Ali Rasheed

The only thing I am left with – English poem by Ali Rasheed

 

The prodigious shadows

Of the little demons

Are trying to haunt

The satchel of my thoughts.

 

Makes a reflection

In the cistern of her desperate eyes,

The flickering wick

Of my rapturous soul.

 

Despite my defiant Audacity

I am forced by love

To melt and surrender

The pragmatic, romantic, intrinsic me.

 

Thus, my love left me of nowhere,

Roaming on the boulevard of broken – dreams

Yet, I will not call it a weakness,

As it is the only thing I am left with.

 

 

Poet: Ali Rasheed Fsc Pre-engineering GCU, Lahore.
