Have been counting days
With the sorrow look
On the face
Are you reading me
Quietly?

I could be wrong
Or maybe it’s the melancholy
In your eyes
Come with me and
Break the silence.

There’s a darkened gallery
We can realize emptiness
About midnight, the dark clouds
Pranks all the downtown.

Do you have wine?
My belly is full of
Coffee like your
Dark brown eyes.

I seek an inevitable
future, Neath your hair.

A day to climb the
Sunlight
Thoughts swirling within a
Cage
You felt like an endless search.

The snowcapped Swiss alps
Seems so morbid
Like they knew everything
Even the love letters have
Turned to dust.

Years later there’s still a
Vacuum in the cold
Meditating night
The scotch brings you alive.

Your staring eyes are
The reminder of the song
In the city traffic.

You were there all
Along in the words
Of my poem.

Will the Baul ever quit his search
Singing all through the-
Deserted land, ektara a trail of his
Existence walked him with no promises.
Will He ever listen to their bald cries?
To His realm they say beyond the blues,
Life awaits out of the tableau of massacres.
The world of assumptions tampered
By a philosopher’s fairy tale decides
Birth, death, rebirth, curse and richness?
The blind light is biting his body, heart & soul
He still needs it, his poppy tears.
The system needs it to tear him open,
His body, heart and soul in vain.
Music of the Baul has no destination
Still the voyage is essential.
Ektara has to walk with him, all through
The barren lands, villages and futility.
There’s no end to his search!

Born too early
To a world at noon
Our dreams of glory
Too much too soon

One generation
Born after the greats
Our aspirations came
Too little Too late

My children I beg of you
Keep my dreams strong
To see all the worlds
Where I should belong

And should come the time
At the break of new dawn
When my home and people
Are all dead and gone

Carry me with you
To the edge of beyond
Scatter my ashes
Where hopes are reborn
Sehnsucht
Faisal H Rizvi Mar 2014
Like a safe refuge for a wandering mind;
Leaving all, what was left, far behind,
Like wires go distance from pole to pole,
I am the captain on the ship of my soul.
My clipped wings still dare to fly;
Always sang war songs as I never cry,
Carefree with agonies of world so small;
Trying to rise from ashes of the fall,
Miseries do happen, they make me strong;
Never a day is shorter, no night is long,
As these waves prostrate on the shore;
A million desires keep knocking my door,
Beneath my wounds is no pain, but light;
Besides all odds, there’s lies a right,
Breathing in victory; Breathing out freedom,
My time is here, My Kingdom has come.

The sighing winds had lulled me here;
The waltzing boughs, too, had fallen for its charm;
The ivy, ferns, alders and the birches;
The quivering hemlock against my arm.

The travelled path was now long left behind,
And on hills of gentle moss I stood and gazed about
To find the purple cloak of twilight painting me,
And all the pines, not one left out.

II

The harvest moon in its splendour came rising,
Had poured itself on the waters deep;
The birds were silent, the wind still sighing
Had brought the woodland a drowsy sleep.

The dawn had come in golden light
And where I was I did not know -
I wandered long to find the path again,
And in the distance heard the river flow.

if i'll ever be lost
would you see me
the way
you see
the sunset?
if i'll ever be lost
would you feel it
the way
you feel
the wind through your skin?
if i'll ever be lost*
how would you know
i'm lost
when i'm
too invisible for you
to know.
Am i a ghost?

I'm in a quiet library pondering
What would happen if I told her how I felt
I look around to see her wandering
If I tell her, she might make my heart melt
I don't want to go heart broken
I want my heart to sing
Love isn't as easy as finding a token
It's as hard as finding a ring
There once was a wandering girl, but she didn't wish to be.
She only wanted to find her way, but the night was dark and she couldn't see.
The darkness mattered not though, the girl thought in her head.
Even if it was light, she would still be filled with dread.
How do you find your way, if you don't know where you're going?
If you didn't plan accordingly, you have no way of knowing.
Would she choose a path or cut a trail?
Would she become strong or would she stay frail?
Would she ever figure it out?
Would she ever conquer her doubt?
She often wondered if anyone else ever felt as lost as she.
That sad, wandering girl who didn't wish to be.
