Short Rubaiyat Poems

Our black, firm, waists, so taut and thin,
the preferred drink was Saphire gin,
and in the dreamy cool black night,
beating hearts, living skin!...

Lost, destination undefined
On a search for something I'll never find
Repeating reflection, endless time line
A place of unexsistance, a desired state of mind.

Though on the outside I look rather dull
I keep a secret deep down in my skull
I fool the world with common sense behaviour
Ha! No one knows that God lives here in Hull!...

THE UNDETERMINED WIND MOVES; AND TRAVELING ABOUT,

IT PERMEATES DARKNESS, THE HURRICANE SHOUTS

AND IT’S NOT TAMED BY MEN

YET THE REIGNS REST IN GOD’S BREATHING OUT

This dust will surely settle down, one day. 
Yet journey will continue from places to stay. 
Do not offer me any permanent place to dwell 
When life is moving on what should I smell.

Desires of fame and wealth beyond needs
And some want the end of the world to come
But he who demands the payout and dismisses the harbingers
Will not hear the tuning of the trumpet calls...

A satchel of poetry rests over my shoulder
A silver pen, parchments and paper, and a journal
Laying them, next to the wine, on the blanket, next to you
And you are Mars to me, and I Venus

Pour, into my cup, come in the slumbers of dawn
Cast away the ash and sackcloth, granted life
The pheonix landed to visit awhile
Tomorrow the bird takes flight

entrapped by the agonies of the life
astraying in the bewilderment of world
hunting for trustee for my heart
the broken heart voiced from inside
in the mundane existence, no one is worthy of trust

Janky boots, walk me through this poverty painted stream
While water laughs its way through my busted seam
My feet are cold and unprotected
But I still walk to my next taste of your nostalgic sunbeam

The boredom leaped into the wind _flew
Upon the summer clouds reaches the blue
Flies upward joining buzzards circling ring
So boredom's limits somewhat now askew  


Augh!!!Augh!!!Brain freeze and fatigue...

Serenity appears for all to behold 
mountainous lake unfelt by cold
your body sinks in waters deep
time and misery to now unfold

When I wake up each day
I can’t wait to see you
When you can’t say what u really want to say
All you say is I love you

Talking to you
Makes me realize who you are
I always think of you
And how perfect you really are...

Life- Randomling 2





 
Sweet song with a vibrant essence,
Flowing flawless with a seventh sense,
Every warm, heated and iced moment, 
Savour life's quintessence !

I try to reach profundity
but all around make fun of me
for living life with simpler goals
like learning and tranquility.

So now I'm leaving all I've got 
to quest for my own Camelot.
Requiring only books and pen
I'm setting off to find my spot....

Silent screams no one hears
Tired eyes filled with tears
Gut wrenching heartache no one feels
Emotions dark enough to kill
Mental exhaustion no one sees
Strong enough it hurts to breathe
An answer seekin no one speaks
A language spoken without speech

The silence is killing me, I would give anything just 
to hear you
My body shakes from the fear that if I don't feel you 
I'll lose you
I just can't seem to keep my head together, I don't 
understand it
It's been years since love has touched me, I'm off 
balance...

Crystal clear stream
As if in a dream
Listening to its flow
Slowly awaken from her daydream

Drenched and invigorated
Way beyond what she anticipated
Hopeful even during adversity
Her faith has germinated

memories remind
shiny nickels and dimes
always present
here in my mind

they flow quick
are honey thick
ever lasting
as each day ticks

at night it seems
they come as dreams
floating gently
on moonbeams

now put away
with our yesterdays
oh how heavy
this does weigh

If I say that I love,
would you know it's from the heart?
If I say I miss you,
would you believe from the moment of part?
 
When we are together
I want it to be forever!
You know when I say I love you
That it's really true.
 
I just want you to know my love for you
is really true....

Welcomed around me the half dead in lost love writhing in ecstasy
I myself now in the place of the past of dreams devoid of such chastity 
Well met seeing my lost love beautiful with chestnut eyes and soft such curved hips
In dreams devoid of vanity I will and now just serve myself so handsomely

Flowing along the mystic River
Up in the hills, sits chills and shiver
Trees and flowers grow and bloom
Along the reflecting crystal river

The sun is a shining, 
My heart is a pining, 
Bright summer is here,
The hammock reclining,

I'm going a swimming, 
My heart is a brimming, 
Cool water calls out,
I'm already dreaming,

Light flowers are dancing, 
My heart is romancing, 
With melting ice creams,
Summer is entrancing.

Rubai – 1.	

The mighty pen that dictates wrote
And set the world upon an orderly rote
Lies buried beneath the driest sand
O Wind, uncover it with words of note.

Rubai – 2.

Then it was that the mighty lords swung
Their blades took off the wooden rung
Sparks and smoke that filled the air
Bloodied the songs they had just sung.
