Solivagant
I'm solivagant
searching solace
sinking to sublime solitude
sensing soothing simple savour
of supreme serenity.

Nature Speaks To My SoulI stand alone in natures beauty,
in the woods by a trickling stream.
I feel the presence of my destiny,
as a repetitive eternal dream.
I hear the gurgling of water,
as it follows its chosen way,
No worries of tomorrow,
as it just flows towards the bay.
My mind says, relax you’re never alone,
the beauty of nature is all around.
A fallen...

Within oneselfIf I did not see it
Was it there at all?
I thought I heard the flutter of wings
Did I not hear the sound of a call?
The song of a bird
Nor an angel or worse?
If I did not hear it
Am I my own curse?...

My Mind Is a Train StationFlickering lights cast shadows on the crowd,
Each chasing hopes that slip through their hands.
Trains whistle past in endless circles,
Rushing toward visions that never stay.
I stand beneath a single blinking light,
Waiting quietly as the crowd fades away.
No need to follow fading tracks,
No rush to catch a train that disappears.
The platform empties, footsteps soften,
Only my shadow remains,...

In the Arms of DarknessNight wraps me softly in her arms,
Whispering secrets, weaving charms.
She cradles echoes in my chest,
A quiet breath, a gentle rest.
Her cloak conceals my hidden scars,
Each one a story traced by stars.
She treads with footsteps calm and slow,
Through empty halls where shadows grow.
By day, she hides behind the sun,
But when the world is overrun,
She dons my...

I Wandered Weightless as a Featherafter “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth
I wandered weightless as a feather,
a muted plume from mourning dove.
A tuft afloat in breezy weather
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me
from over fields and out to sea.
My glad esprit more free than birds,
detached from mortal...

Holy Diver
Disoriented and departed from passing terra forma,
I sink further into the Sea of Tranquility.
As corroded chains of my existence dissipate,
What once tethered my soul to Gaia's gifts
Drifts aimlessly in the abyss of space,
Freezing as they pass me by.
Shards of ice sparkle like crystals upon their surface—
The only illumination against a bitter, lonely backdrop.
Without warning, I...

Quiet TurnsEach morning drifts like mist—
soft, uncertain,
but somewhere in its hush,
I feel the weight
of something turning dark nearby.
I once imagined
this place would be still,
that the walls would not echo
with things unsaid.
But peace, it seems,
is not something we always share.
Patterns repeat—
whispers circling like wind in a cage.
The days loop like shadows
on the same old path,
a wheel that...

The Longest DayThe long narrow hallway,
Etched with pain and euphoria,
A mother’s sacrifice and the husband’s touch,
A parade of white.
The time is concentrated,
Flowing through me like a river,
Wild and roaring
And I stuck - a paralysed effigy on the shore.
On the pricipice of darkness
I sat, shivering to burst,
Refusing to remember,
What is to be lost.

Jaun Elia English Translations IIThese are English translations of Urdu poems by Jaun Elia with themes of solitude, loneliness, alienation, love, life, death and loss.
When you come, you will find me lost,
for in my solitude there are dreams, nothing else.
You desire to decorate my room,

These tyrannical books have done me a...

Children who shriekThe hospital machine beeps,
My knees weak, the walls are bleak.
I'm bitting my cheek whilst the ward doors creak
I can hear the children shriek, they look weak through a sneak peak.
Explanations are oblique,
These children will be me in a week.
There's critique of technique for hell week;
which is not for the weak.
Streaks of blood, dizzy from drugs
Staring...

AloneMy sombre shadow trails me,
My own friend i’ve personally handsewn,
It comforts me,
Somehow I don’t feel alone.
When the sun diminishes,
The absence of my beloved lingers..
With only the moonlight’s comfort,
I’m starting to feel alone.
Enwrapped with nothing but solemness,
I watch flocks of birds fly by,
The sorrow - I could not bare it,
I...

Cryptic SignsNow, I don’t know why,
he left without a word,
returned from the grave,
only to walk a road I could not follow.
Someone must have held his name closer,
spoken in a language I could not hear.
I watch them exchange unspoken truths,
a passerby in their quiet communion.
And now, I don’t know why,
she left without a word,
came back from the...

It's Time That I Focus On MeI always had that inner quality of putting others first
I'll become anything needed from a mom to a nurse
I'm so busy with others that i don't get what i need
I think it's about that time that i just focused on me
Venture out and go places and see more sights
Enjoy my own bonfire along with the...
