Seeker Poet

The last kite in the distance Floats up in fade pink skies Stays flying up after the sunset When rest have loosen ties I stare up into the midway In gap of me and sky Flying and roaming are many When all I seek is Thy I breath in trembling breeze From my standby tired scar Settled in trailing whispers I look up to play my guitar The time is fading faster As the sun has left too soon The night is ready to enter As i am ready to let in the moon. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

Three fishes swim Over the pearl shining beneath In the inverted glass manner On the earth i was standing down Where the whistling sound surrounded Jingling of steel pipes Moon pasted on the blue sheet Spread from one corner to another Stars hanging in between Through the wire of freedom Where obedience is not a boundation Where freedom doesn't mean transgressing vows In a moment where present is yesterday In a lifetime where tomorrow is unreached They tread predestined path Unworried, unhurried, Hanging unconscious in a gleamy trance Wisely known of the truth That it ain't about plans or resolutions It's all about Journeys and Horizons. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

As the moon was shining vibrant In a rainy day's night Clouds came calmly With their soft cotton candy embrace And laced it over face of the moon So that it may don't awake From the dream in which it shines Forever with change When it keeps living it again and again Starting from the beginning Young with sharp sides To the Real pearl shape All after a journey Of days repeatedly occuring Giving a lesson; For sun and moon hold signs for us That it's the way of life To light, to fade away But the soul's karma Is to live it all alive Again and again To feel the Joy of completion After starting from a sharp edge To the Circle that is content Of Light, Of Salvation. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

When we see both tears and smiles Events are confusing in contrast Where there's a light There's a dark shading everyone Where moon's light is veiled Floating clouds are sending intuition That light may get out of sight But they will fade away There'll be a endless night But day will find it's way The next moment reveals what We don't have glimpse of that sight It's an open eyed dream That may bring fair tides along That may bring dark storms along Just keep the eyes open With the doors of mind locked To see what comes tomorrow Bewildered in curiosity today. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

I've been waiting for long, To spray the paint of my words, On the canvas that doesn't replies, But do reflect what my eyes can't, I've been here, In these moonlit nights I've been here when the stars don't stare, I've fallen here, in the midst of shame, I've ran to the saddle, blaming everyone here, I've been walking alone for eternal nights, When the Moon's not here, Sun's due for tomorrow, The hopes still here, upset yet breathing, Courage crushed in the corner, yet alive, Every now and then, a thought walks in, Becomes a giant, fed by ignorance of mine, I do remember, the battle of last voyage, When i killed these giants, brave and bold, Now as they are back in town, I am paying the fine to let them in, I am staring the lost castle from beneath, In pain watching what i lost, what i had, I am in the illusion, with my sword pulled out, Learned but fool, fighting thoughts that ain't real, I am lost in th...

It seems like sun and moons are gone, Clouds seem to have swallowed them, They are there, far there than our reach, Superficial things sometimes seem real, Fear that ain't a moment old, Seems like the mountain of centuries, Like the floods and earthquakes that may end us, The illusions so weak made giants and demons, A dense bunch of beautiful bright cloud, Stood there in between the dark companions, With light being showered from above, Came to a soul that sought the guidance, The soul that's brave enough, But lies in the body that feeds on mind, The eyes that see, the ears that do hear, But mind veils the truth seeking soul, Alas we don't do unveil the reality, We build castles on smoke, hide us in dark, When the sun outshines outside, We turn our heads in, into the abyss of fog, Don't believe me, believe your ownself, See within, widen your eyes to see, See what lies hidden in open, What lies within unseen.
