Maaruf B: Poems

Maaruf B Oct 2012

A thousand miles of empty way,
happiness is far away
Horizon seems to be the hope,
but as I walk it drifts away
Dusty wind resisting me,
I can't see my destiny
Thirst of life is killing me,
wished for rain, but now it's drowning me..

A hundred ways of pretences,
but now I'm done, I'm no more restless
I'm resting here, but it's such a mess,
when will I get rid of this tiredness!
Heart is beating but there's no blood,
all washed away in disguised flood
Day light dies drowning the sun,
Now I'm all alone, my shadow's gone...

#BULLETLESS GUN#

Whirling wind erodes the shield
forms the rust, a bulletless gun
lying there in that old wood box
double barreled yet a harmless soul
Gone are the days when glory kissed the trigger
Now what is left is a target without a hinder...

#CRIMSON#

#CRIMSON#

I witnessed the dreams
in my sleep
i opened my eyes
it didn't feel so wise
Dusk it was pouring
as i walked up to the roof
Crimson lining
a star of my choice
And nearby that starlight
the crescent appeared
Constantly changing
they all with sublime
Now the glass it is empty
night has befallen
The crimson is gone
but captured in my mind
That moment is over
but will be remembered..

#DELUSION#

Maaruf B Oct 2012

#DELUSION#

Mind exposed to the fluorescence
of the dusk, clouds of repentance

Divine vision never achieved
through the mountains of lust, contented

Never cared, for the secret within
The glorious dawn, had much to take in

Deceived by the alluring incantation
of the day, eternal delusion

The blue of the skies avoided
now bleeds through the clouds so red

Shadows of the living stretches
like the string that dies in stress

Radiance of the soul decays
as the reign of the dark prevails...

#DROPS OF DIVINE#

Maaruf B Aug 2013

#DROPS OF DIVINE#

Drops of divine
falling from the skies
so pure, so calm, angelic attire
drizzles upon the careless
don't bother, senseless desire
amidst the fall they pray
don't let the fate embed
in this world so grey
While the rising mourns
this catastrophe of the living
the mortals sway
this delusion, still believing...

"My silence calls your name
but the sound around engulfs your concern,
and nothing matters but to see that smile of yours
if only i could be the reason of one of those. ."

#SHADOWED#

Maaruf B Feb 2014

#SHADOWED#

Through the valley where certain waves
hits the echo of melancholy
Fate is not what's presumed to be
the east wind comes with no mercy
The comfort's gone but the crave remains
against the shadow of eternity

Comprehend the words of time
Across the horizon there is a fine line
that separates death from life
But unseen and untouched
The fact remains buried under
the reign of misguided perception..

#SWAY#

Maaruf B Jan 2014

#SWAY#

Took a breather
evoke some thoughts
strummed the guitar
and let it flow

The sun is setting
and the skies are red
as i stare at this beauty
a new light unfolds

And it tells me a story
we've been living through
why we crave for something
we've had it already

But soon will this light end
and so with it the feeling
tomorrow's coming
to sweep it all away
and make me lost again
the story will be swayed

sun on the west,
reflecting crimson clouds,
winds of the night,
what a beautiful sight,
but time mercifies none,
the moment wont last long,
me and my fast car,
down the highway we go along,
towards the west we advance,
reclaiming time once adjourned"

m i okay?!
"yes i am"
and they got away,
never gettin a clue
what i really wanted to say
but its okay
coz all these years,
all the hopes
buried inside
as calm as silence;
and like ever before
this time too
i'm inclined to accept
the consequences,
in favour of you;
and what about me?!
i'll wear this glee
like a mask that bestows
the charm,
in a child's fantasy;
and yet again
i carry this hindrance
invisible to them,
and yet again
i'll learn to pretend
all these never happened

#VICTIMIZED...#

The fire from hell burn your soul
you run for cover, filled with fear
And even the shadow has lost its life
you can't escape, you've been victimized!
Exposed to the truth, have you lost your mind?!
All these years, all your lies,
will now be known, you can't hide aside
You've fallen from grace
You're no more praised,
To eternity you'll burn
the prayers are no more concerned !

#WASTELAND#

four walls surrounds me
no one in between to share a glee,
must have adapted to the scene
another day of uncertain,
senses are now loosing concern
what's there behind the curtain..
