A love poem/song with a touch of the night air's magic and a harmonious spiritual rapport with nature.

SOLILOQUY

Surviving with a heart,
Broken and bleeding,
The stillness of nights,
Quietly howling;
Undaunted, I find myself,
Desperately longing,
For my soul mate -- hiding,
in the veil of eternity.
Creepy, selfish men and women,
Have done their very best,
To consume me in their envy;
Poisonous smiles dipped in the honey,
Of seething jealousy:
I have managed to ward their barbs,
With a slowly and patiently made,
Armour of unshakable faith,
In The God Almighty.
O my rent soul,
Grieving for the companion,
Now heavenly,
Tarry a while and depress not yourself,
In the worldly taunts of greedy allure,
Floating ghost-like as soon as dusk falls.

Why worry?
Why yearn for the impossible?
It is eerie to sit alone,
And crave true love:
Why not let the mind go free,
High and above,
Beyond the realms of the vastness,
And align with infinity?
The mocking devils of darkness,
May be enjoying this state of mine,
Just like the hollow-hearted men and women,
Do so sadistically,
As the days pass,
And the afternoons and evenings,
Echo like the laughter of banshees,
In the surrounding blackness of the hours.

Leap not into the incongruity O my mind!
For yearning and craving are of no use,
When it is so staunchly believed,
That there is reunion of soul mates,
Once the term of bodily existence ends.

Concentrate O my wounded self!
Converge your thoughts,
With the sublime Light of Divinity.
Peace and solace only embrace,
And annoint you with comforting,
Ethereal inner joy and happiness,
When each breath of yours,
Tunes itself to the golden silence --
The language of Love Immemorial --
Blending the drop that you are,
With the origin of the depthless ocean,
Each wave a lap of lullabies,
Sung by the angels of the Creator,

Hearken O Naveed!
And let your entire self dissolve
And let the shackles of worldly being,
Be crushed and give you a new life,
Wholesome and meaningful,
In the domain where only the believers,
In true love and selflessness dwell.
Happiness is not elusive O you poet!
The jewels of the sky relate the truth,
So, let go of all materialistic vanities,
And inhale the vigorous fragrance of Eden,
And take a hint from the approaching blue of dawn:
Peace and a return to the dimension,
Of souls that are ridiculed by the world,
Await only a shift in the pattern of thinking,
And a return to the path which leads,
Directly to the Source -- The God Almighty.
For, it is so true that from Him we come,
And to Him do we return.

So, abandon the deceptions of this life,
And close your eyes with a focus,
That The God Almighty is with you,
And in the Light of His Immortality,
Take a gentle leap back to your soul mate,
Waiting for you...in the Garden of real joy,
The Garden where she will be with you,
Forever and ever...
This is God's promise,
Foretold by His messengers,
Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jacob,
Jesus the Messiah,
Blessed on the Virgin Mary.
And then explained in detail,
In the life of Christ's successor:
The Seal of the Prophets:
Muhammad of Arabia.

Wisdom shines as the purifying,
Blue shades of approaching dawn,
Also talk of the Paradise,
Where believers of the Truth,
Will revel in the spiritual sweetness,
Of unending life and true love.
Yield not to sorrow, pine not for anything,
And sip a cup from God's blessed angels,
Celebrating His praises,
And know that your true love awaits you,
With a greater longing than yours.
Yes! Your soul mate misses you more,
Than you miss her here.
Hearken O Naveed!
And focus on Truth-Beauty, Beauty-Truth.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I have seen so much of this world and the people that I have decided to give priority to the spiritual essence of the self and the wisdom of truth and beauty reflecting itself so subtly in the wee hours of nights merging with dawns. This poem, which is a soliloquy, is a result of sombre meditation and contemplation.

Just for one night

I really wish we had more time,
so i can open up my heart and show you all the love i have for you,
but sadly we can only be together for
just for one night

Now show me the love you have for me,
and never let my eye lids close
because i don't want to miss a moment with you,
during the little precious time we have,
just for one night

Don't hesitate to feed my soul more of your warmth,
so it can recharge my heart that beats only so i can be with you
just for one night.

Hold my hands tightly inside yours,
as if you were grasping your smart phone,
trying to stop the tears because we can only be together
just for one night.

Don't be nervous with someone like me,
who wants every part of you
but only gets to have you
just for one night.

Scar me with your love,
so that whenever i look upon it,
i will remember you and
the love we shared,
just for one night.

Believe me
time never passed so quickly
with all the love i have for you,
just for one night.

History will remember and
the world will never forget,
the love we started but left unfinished
just for one night. 

The Night is Calling

I enter the dark of night,
It is so late at night,
The poetry it comes, it flows
Like ink through my fingers...

Where does it come from?
Maybe from the foggy basement
Of my minds eye like the hurricane,
Blowing and sprouting forth as a volcano...

Could it just be verbatim?
Or the externalization of my internal seeking?
Perhaps a restless soul seeking shelter
From the fury storm of emptiness...

Maybe it is the full moon,
Or misinterpreted star charts...
I watch Taurus collide with Orion,
And wish upon a falling star...

It is now way past midnight,
The ghosts, they call again..
I drive through the cloak of night,
But the steering wheel turns like a clock

Through my empty hands...
I think I will go home and reach for my pen,
And set the grandfather clock back,
Only to start to write all over again...

The poems, they come at night...

Fugitive Cloud


It’s been long since we talked to the cloud,
You asking me on its whereabouts,
I, in vain, started crying aloud,
Time and again, no trace, the mind, contracts.
 
Please! We beg thee to surface straight away,
And lessen the famine of psyche,
We know, for sure, you’ll call our waiting a day,
Stop being a raucous escapee.
 
Why not? You ‘can’ emerge out of the blue,
We, on earth, are beseeching for the least clue.

A LOVE SONG ABOUT YOU AND ME!

I lie under the starry sky
And find myself thinking
Of You and Me:
You and Me:
That's all that
Really matters:
You and Me:
In this rhapsody
Composed for us:
You and Me...
Be it on Route 66
Or a forgotten path
Of walking past Rome's
Masquerade of 'marketry'
You and Me:
Laughing...carefree,
Without worry
Everything for just
You and Me...
Just like we were meant to be
On Pluto, Jupiter and Mars
And then Venus and Mercury;
Till we both landed right here
On this planet of blue beauty:
Oh Yes! Just You and Me:

Your laughter resounds
All around the night air
The surreal melody
Makes me so much happy:
As the heaven resounds with:
symphonies of You and Me...
As if the angels too like singing
About God and about:
His Will for You and Me:

Yes, sweetest darling,
So is it meant to be
In God's great book
Comprising His decrees
And each creation's destiny:
Yes, I have glanced through it:
It is written quite plainly:
Our fate is You and Me...
It's no more a mystery...

Ask -- if you like - 'Ariel'
Shakespeare's own fairy.
And from her too will come:
The revelation in whispers:
It's all about "You and He" --
Meaning nothing else,
Other than the divine truth
Of unalterable reality:
"You and Me"....Oh Yes!
My sweetest darling,
Believe you me -- it is just
We -- meaning You and Me
For each other
For ever and ever
As ordained by the Almighty:
It will be the Creator's orchestra
Beautifying the love song
Of all the love songs artistry
Sung by the entire galaxy:
It is just about the two of us --
You and Me -- Oh yes, my blessed love,
It is about us both: just You and Me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired and writtten for and about the woman I love and as God has willed will continue to love. She baffles me with her wondrously sweet ways and makes a singer out of me...as she does most of the times when we communicate...yes...she is mine and I am hers...as decreed by God the Greatest in His Book of Destiny...To her I proudly say...Yes my sweet darling --- It has always been You and Me...You and Me...Ask even Adam and Eve and they too will congratulate us in the past midnight hours under a starry sky by singing in harmonious rhapsody: You and She...meaning YOU AND ME...JUST YOU AND ME :) :) :) The reader may think of this composition as a poem or even a song....about my She and Me! Readers may also note that I have used poetic licence here and there e.g. 'marketry' just to make the composition sound all the more musical to the ears...because poetry is but music to the ears ...especially the discerning ears of men, women and children gifted by God Almighty with divinely receptive and ultra-sensitive hearts and minds.
