On the Edge and After

Turn on the night Let the light shine in, The zeal of the hour Beholds the time from within. Usher me the epic dawn, sublime… And the euphoric mortality, Power me the magic harmony, cleansing of the calls And the divine spirituality. The thoughts of the mourning mass Demon-spells the freedom muse, The placebo affects of the light divine Stone scripts the wonder views. I hear some say, Life is not a waiting room, Follow the path of the heart Or else awaits the wrath of doom! Steadfast the glorious Beyond the depth of the obvious, The wisdom of my might Gallants my kingdom to the victorious. (C) Obaidur Rahman. Published in the poet’s debut book of English poetry titled “The Mystic Inferno” in 2012.
