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

Raw Madness
In secret gardens, far from sight,
I shed the masks I wear in light.
No eyes to judge, no voice to guide,
Just whisper of the self inside.
The whisper which wishes to reside in every heart,
i am the resonating echo of that restless void.
I wander, seeking light in the darkness,
I've heard

In the twilight of existence, where shadows whisper secrets to the restless soul
In the twilight of existence, where shadows whisper secrets to the restless soul,
Man seeks to escape himself in myth, weaving tales to hide his truth,
By any means at his disposal, he dances on the edge of oblivion,
Drugs, alcohol, or lies, each a mask to hide the fragile self within.
Unable to withdraw into the depths of

My Restless Soul
floating on waves
my boat anchored in the bay
sunlight growing dim
to my restless soul
the sea played a lullaby
I joined in the song
reflecting on life
I suddenly felt serene
content with nature

Restless Soul
Restless souls yearn for more
Immorality is their final score
For how do you last the years
Does it temper your lasting fears
Do you worry about judgment
When your life is weighed for what it’s meant
For each of us has failed sometime
Would the outcome be judged as kind
For what have you stood for
Yourself or has there been more
Than

One Day: Sooner Or Later
Eventually, many centuries have passed
In the hopeless desire to uncover
This hidden pain.
And, in the shower of unpredictable love
The barren land of my restless soul
Will nourish again.
Maybe today or tomorrow, the blank pages
Of the unwritten book will shine
With pearl-like words.
Along with, the doors of unlocked cages,
Locked with a secret code will

Letters of a Restless Soul
I wake before the sun
While the city sleeps
The moon awaits my call
And the night is there to greet
My soul is always restless
My heart is known to roar
And my mind always at peace
With golden wings at my door.
The pen appears in palm
Behold a woman with vision
My words hang in the stars
I pick them with precision.
So

Restless Soul
Restless soul what do you seek
Not resting as you search to keep
The things that complete your life
Always wanting sugar and spice
Eternally you continue to strive
Not to be alone or unsatisfied
The sour notes found in your journey
Will not curry you in your story.

Restless Soul
Wandering feet never do know respite,
for wander they must, far as they might.
An unintended consequence,
husband, child, white picket fence.
There are places to be,
wondrous sights to see.
My restless soul,
never whole.
Scars made,
fade.

To Calm the Restless Soul
poems are the words that weave
that float above the clouds
they pierce the heart where hauntings live
to serve the fateful proud
should shadows fall upon the scene
to darken the amber light
poems read to heal the heart
will shorten the longing night
when mornings rise and eyes are still
when memories are gleaned
would chasing rainbows in the mind
fill the void between
