Shut out the light; thicken the heavy air
With drowsy incense; let a distant stream

Interim
The room is full of you!-As I came in
And closed the door behind me, all at once
A something in the air, intangible,
Yet stiff with meaning, struck my senses sick!-

In the dreams I dream
Only you visible in thee
My perfect human
With a pale skin you were handsomely made

is a collared machineel in a cassock
He bears pretty tasty apples
That accord him innocent and benovelent looks

Butterflies are white and blue
In this field we wander through.
Suffer me to take your hand.
Death comes in a day or two.

Do memories last forever?
This thought runs through the mind of thinkers.
Memories are destined to fade,
But your most important memories,

You lived for a short while and then you left me alone
I was not prepared for your demise
It came with its shock
And it still shocks

Inland
People that build their houses inland,
People that buy a plot of ground
Shaped like a house, and build a house there,
Far from the sea-board, far from the sound

a running track, that clock's good and bad

seconds of death and judgment

Moonlight
We stood among the boats and nets . . .
We marked the risen moon
Walk swaying o'er the trembling seas
As one sways in a swoon;

O rain
What language do you speak
To instruct the sky to stay meek,
With which you sweeten the lovely air.

Young Mother
Her baby was so full of glee,
And through the day
It laughed and babbled on her knee
In happy play.

Our Mothers, lovely women pitiful;
Our Sisters, gracious in their life and death;
To us each unforgotten memory saith:
“Learn as we learned in life's sufficient school,

The Cigar
Some sigh for this and that,
My wishes don't go far;
The world may wag at will,
So I have my cigar.

In The Bayou
Lazy and slow, through the snags and trees
Move the sluggish currents, half asleep;
Around and between the cypress knees,
Like black, slow snakes the dark tides creep-

Raped Future
I see a dysfunctional future
Wailing in hunger. Many tongues scrabbling for a single bone
Living corpses pile the street.
I hear soothsayers boast in their ignorance and claim a stolen future

Love Lies Bleeding
You call it, "Love lies bleeding," so you may,
Though the red Flower, not prostrate, only droops,
As we have seen it here from day to day,
From month to month, life passing not away:

William Wordsworth
Her Hardship
Only a second apart raindrops will touch the ground
Making a sound of peace for all around
For peace was the image he had in mind when he created the ground
But the only mistake he made was the beings he situated on the ground

Each word whereof is weighed and sifted truth.
I stood beside Euphrates while it swelled

You are unique, a masterpiece

Dear Love
Here alone it makes me feel bad.
Mostly when i keep thinking about the plans we had, sad.
My heart is broken, no craft maker would even fix it.
Am devastated,

Love
All thoughts, all passions, all delights,
Whatever stirs this mortal frame,
Are all but ministers of Love,
And feed his sacred flame.

Now while my lips are living
Their words must stay unsaid,
And will my soul remember
To speak when I am dead?

The Scholars
"Oh, show me how a rose can shut and be a bud again!"

They have taken the men that were careless lads at Dartmouth in 'Fourteen
And entered them at the landward schools as though no war had been.

When your love begins to wane,
Spare me from the cruel pain
Of all speech that tells me so -
Spare me words, for I shall know,

Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,
You will suppose that with an upright path
Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

16 Minutes Of Life
16 minutes of life
He is fidgeting uncontrollably, breathing slowly but the alarm clocks harps happily.

Through the chaos of nerves in his brain he calculates the time, revaluates his plan and awaits death.

Shaheed-e-azam
My death is an excuse,
Some sleepy sleeping people have to wake up.
Mother, do not think that the red will hang on you hanging on the hanging, you just see how many young people will bleed the cold by watching them hang on a hanging trap.
Even after my death, Iqbalab will speak every stroke of my blood's blood.
