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 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.
