Elias Uddin Poem
Flowers
bloom to wither,
having exuded their
fragrance, leaving dormant in seeds
all charms.

Elias Uddin Poem
Rain-soaked,
I walked home at
dark night as if I walked
on a dark black carpet studded
with stars.

Elias Uddin Poem
(On reading Guy-Adler Dorelien's
poem, 'To Speak the truth')
'To speak the truth
Is to free a caged bird,'
you said,
but I saw:
to speak the truth
is to be a bird
caged;
yet I say:
to speak the truth out
is far better in either case
than to conceal it
set free the caged birds
and be caged in return,
smiling
to unveil
the darkest bowers
of lying owls
in masks.

Elias Uddin Poem
You’re my dreams / dreamt in blessed sleeps / lit in eternal light /
that tell me to hope, to hope, to hope.
You’re my yesterday / I worked to transform it / into an enriched today /
drawing non-stop from future’s maw.
You’re my touchstone: / I want to transform the world / of filth and dirt /
into a mine of gold.
Most of my life / much of my effort / many of my possessions /
I do dedicate to you, to you, to you.
I want to belong to you / want you to belong to me / want to walk hand in hand /
up the long track to truth.
I see a world in you / happy and tranquil and new / sordid and seamy to few /
bathed in autumn’s celestial dew.
