The Other Side of Maze

Slaves to the dark And the magic of the cynical spell, The skywing of night Beholds the wishing well. The path of ancient destiny Paves the way to the future gate, The before-fall of here-after Sparkle-lights the lyrical fate. From the afterglow of the shed-past To the raging feel of the holy lust, The moon-struck nightmares Surreal the sun-soaked dream dust. (C) Obaidur Rahman. Published in the poet’s debut book of English poetry titled “The Mystic Inferno” in 2012.
