Restless Poems

Restless

I feel like I’m running for my life. 
Never a single moment of stopping. 
Constantly on the go, as if I tripled my caffeine intake. 
Feeling as if I’m being chased by a cheetah, barely escaping the kill. 
That constant feeling of doom towering over me. 
I just need a moment.

The Restless Mind

The moon, a silent, watchful sphere,
Observes a world that's fast asleep.
And in this quiet, lonely fear,
My restless thoughts begin to creep.
The popcorned ceiling, a vast, pale sea,
A bumpy map of what I'm not.
I long for what the world can be,
A place where consciousness is shot.

I close my eyes, and try to find,
A path to where

restless hands

I look at my old hand
Blotches of liver spots, slow-running blood vessels
Delivering old blood so I can fold my hands
Once they caressed a woman`s body, who moaned
And my hands were firm
Women used to see me and smile, but now I walk
The earth unobserved and words become a long silence.
If I tell you how much I

Restless Summer heat

It is odd how we forget we live on a restless planet
the talk of the melting ice cap is true enough; it melted
before when Greenland was a hot house for plants
In Spain and Portugal, the impression is of two lands
are burning tragedy we blame people for
but we overlook that there was a serious

Our Restless GenZees Winds That Scatter and Gather

They are a generation that is disillusioned and disgruntled with the Status Quo
Ever they are faulting the old guard for running our most beloved country down
Most of them are very techno savvy and have the indicting info at their finger tips
Most of them have high aspirations which have not been dashed down by regrets

They differ

We are all children of the moon, restless, wandering in primordial light

We are all children of the moon, restless, wandering in primordial light,
Oscillating in pure light that carries us beyond time, like a lost dream,
We come from an undefined nowhere, without a destination on the maps of the universe,
We just shimmer, without reason, without purpose, in the silent dance of snow stars,
This is our beauty, our

Hope is Relentless

There is a persistent embrace,
a longing and a kissing,
a childlike giggling,
a free and predictable smile.

Life foresees every dawning,
foretastes every light ray,
foretells every essence,
forecasts every ambience.

Life proclaims every mountain top,
every sultry, tangled jungle,
every scorched and waterless desert,
every fathomless ocean floor.    

Dreams are uncharted roadmaps,
virtual animated realities,
virtual luminous mysteries,
virtual unconscious answers.

When we are manhandled,

Burning wild,
chaos grips my bones,
grinding sharp,
breaking free—
shards of dreams ignite the dark,
I rise through the storm.

Estranged

We are Estranged But—
I hope my image stays in your mind forever
—etched in your memory until your last breath.
Whenever you tuck a strand of hair behind her ear—maybe, at least once, you'd reminisce about me.
I feel unsettled, yet sometimes, I wish that when your lips meet hers, a faint echo of my taste still lingers.

The world slips into sleep, and I lie awake, restless on the cold bed

The world slips into sleep, and I lie awake, restless on the cold bed,
Waiting for that call to bring me comfort, like every night,
The day's fatigue lingers, but the night comes to share everything with him,
To listen as his stories come to life and unfold in the dark,
The night passes in a haze, and our

Fear of Losing You

In the stillness of the night, I find,
A haunting fear that clouds my mind.
What if the day should come too soon,
When fate decides to change its tune?

Your laughter, like a melody,
The anchor to my sanity.
Yet shadows loom, and whispers creep,
Invading dreams when I should sleep.

I clutch your hand, so warm and strong,
Afraid that life might

The Unseen Race of a Restless Soul

By Imran Ahmed 

A Man Runs Wild Fierce And Proud
Head Held High Lost In The Crowd,

Chasing Dreams Too Far To Hold
Like Rain That Slips Through Fingers Cold,

A Dog Behind A Moving Wheel
Blind To Truth Deaf To Appeal,

It Runs And Runs But All In Vain
The Chase Is Endless Filled With Pain,

Some Roads Lead Nowhere Yet We

could use some saving, from a restless mind.
keeping me up to stare into the dark.
every night it becomes rush hour in my head, 
all these thought and memories leave my soul pinned to this bed. 
what i should of said, what i could of done, what i cant do.
all these restless nights caused by you.

restless is Portugal

Restless is Portugal 

There is mayhem in Paradise
the citizens of Lisbon are tired of the bother
and street fighting, where knives are used by
migrants 
Gang fights, robbery, and shop theft is a daily 
Matter, the police work double shifts 
Most of the incomers are from Pakistan and
Bangladesh, where Portugal once had a colony
The democratic socialists ask
