My Lonely Soul Poems

Love, I miss you so much.
Where are you, where is your touch.
I want to get lost in your eyes, like the clouds in the wind.
I lost my trust and belief, I want to find you and bind.

Love, I want to...Read More

The Eager Traveler
by Ahmad Faraz
translation by Michael R. Burch

Even in the torture chamber, I was the lucky one;
When each lottery was over, unaccountably I had won.

And even the mightiest rivers found accessible refuge in me;
Though I was called an arid...Read More

Last Night 
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Last night, your memory stole into my heart
as spring sweeps uninvited through barren gardens
as morning breezes revive dormant deserts
as a patient suddenly feels better for no apparent reason

Strange Currents

O Khusrow, the...Read More

                           

Yesterday, in the meadows with comrades, dewy cloverleaves I nibbled,
Kneaded with hoofs, as...Read More

Hark, it is the sea that lures me,
It murmurs slowly, it roars out loud.
It brushes lightly on the shingles,
It washes roughly brackish crags,
And as its moods yields to its whims,
It holds me firmly in its spell, 
It holds me in...Read More

As for now,
I’m enshrouded in pleasurable stupidity
Not knowing my fate.
My knees quiver when you are in sight
And my heart filled with fright.
I want to be on a roll
Not looking back
But when I see your face
My heart starts knocking at my...Read More

Redemption. A life worth exemption.
Existence of demons. Aligned to face. 
Compassion, worth your sweet embrace. 
Seeking a moment of clarity. 
An obscured window to my eternity.
Unearth my wilt, in presence of guilt. 
Without decadence, I beg you my Eminence. 

Betrayed....Read More

I could not take bath O’ beautiful petals cause- 
you are still sleeping in the womb of buds, 
still spring does not come ,
still spring does not touch the soul of introspection where, 
O' Petals your fragrance can change itself...Read More

I met the most amazing woman today
So pretty, such a looker all the way
Everything about her had me reacting 
In the most sensual ways
So interesting to talk with 
I hope she wants to stay
Her personality just carries my spirit out...Read More

There’s just something about solitude that brings ease, 
sometimes seclusion is all my lonely soul requires.
When the suffering in silence brings me to my knees,
I feel a private escape is all my detached soul desires. 

Solitariness can be quite beautiful...Read More

As My Life Goes On

The past is gaining on me.
There’s nowhere else to go.
I’m tired of running. Ready or not it’s time to face my foes
The ghosts, the demons, the skeletons, the scheming
The lies, the deceit.
I was young and dumb....Read More

In the space where you are

and spread  seeds of love 
today the light is in my way 
a pretty dream is...Read More

I am nanthasha
The queen of the coast 
I have travelled and travelled no more 
I have worked and worked no more 
My grey hair has fallen and risen no more 
My ashes are scattered around 
Who killed me 
Look at...Read More

In my town and only 90 feet
from my house run a pair of old tracks, 
railroad tracks older than my house, 
even older than me, and I am 
become old, very, very old, 
like a tree whose branches betray it...Read More

Angel of the seas

Dancing in the flame beneath a candles flickered light
Moving between shadows on the floor
My every thought now focused on the beauty I have seen
Standing present on a distant shore

Caressing waves do drench her skin, to shimmer soft...Read More

In a deepest valley of thoughts
Consuming the joy of togetherness
My face swims in the river of sweetness

Somewhere In my heart
Dwells the deepest feeling 
The feeling that overtakes sadness

For once I walked in the desert
Yet drowning deep inside me
No river run...Read More

As a balm that caress the skin, returning to the light leads to a peaceful haven
Vindicating the lost soul that was trapped under layers of somber shadows
Tormented by inner voices, sending evil thoughts to the cerulean ether
Until one day, woke...Read More

i was dreaming of 
  colors    inside
my lonely Soul  of
Cobalt violet
and viridian skies
Inside keeping my
heart so cadmium yellow;
Claude Monet's lilies
keeps me alive.
Imagine cobalt blue,
a peace upon the canvas
lead white kissing 
with French ultramarine skies
and we...Read More

Come on my last breath won't you walk away ?
Why won't you respond to my only pray ?
Come on my lonely soul , don't you want to be set free ?
Don't you want to break out from the jail inside...Read More

I do not know where you are come from
I only feel you are like a star is sparkling on the sky 
Appearing in my life 
Touching the tenderness of my soul 

I do not know where you will go

I am the supporting role
In an act that never ends
The part of an anxious soul
Fixing things that need no mend
And from this part I can't annul
Another's hand is not to lend
I am on my own, my lonely soul
In an act...Read More

River Laps Softly

The ripples of water lap river's edge
 quietly I sit, a man seeking love
The orange twilight stirs my lonely soul
 nearby, lonely call of a single dove

Sweetest place roaring river moans and churns
 fish splashing about in a...Read More

I scream frustration and agony into the wind,
The echo bears my very voice in bonded mimic;
Reminding I am not alone.

This constant fear of silently disappearing,
I sob into my pillow, eyes hidden within its feathers;
Reminding me I am not alone.

But this...Read More

AN EMPTY SOUL

Let me take the wine, I thought,
And when I’m drunk, my burden will be gone,
I got drunk, and did what I did,
I lamented it later, when I got sober,
The wine left me miserable, miserable than before.

Let me have...Read More
