Through Solemn Eyes

Through solemn eyes, sway sadness 
of a heart, hurt, and a fading hue.
Diving within, dying drollness  
lingers long with a lifeless queue 
of stained crystals that shatter the spark
once mastered a merry soul  
now a damp, drained, dark 
humiliated honor in a self hollow… 
Tired of being tainted by turmoil
for past years; purity plunges in pleas 
it sinks within so deep in soil 
of tormented shores, seas of tears…
Yet through years of yearning
and tears of torments through hiding 
a breeze has brought belonging
to the swaying sadness of solemn eyes…


                          Dedicated to a special friend

Yara, This is an impressive write -soul catching and well rhymed. I am impressed by your talent with words. I quote below a Quatrain from my book Rubaiyat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop and the Ocean'. My verses are attired in the robes of gold/ Mysteries of rhythm my thoughts unfold/ Words take the shape of my charming beloved/ It's the grace of my voice, lo and behold. -Mohammad
