Seeker Poet

I've walked this path for so long That my feet are bruised Of the stones I've met They have carved my skin And marked my bones So when i put my shoes off I see where I've been I remember the friends that accompanied I recall how the betrayals came up I recall how the weather changed I need no friends now I need no company I wish to go isolated In reality away from enemy I've seen there truth I've felt that insanity They all try to act different But at the end there's no disparity I've walked this path for so long That i realized that it's the only way If you see the real face If you dare to look what the mirror reveals So i wear these shoes every morning To hide my bruises and carved skin To go along the path once again Until i have it all along To go into the undeclared isolation. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

In the realm of silence I am surrounded By the screams within; Screams that whisper To the very edge of my existence Which arises the meloncholy To shatter the walls of calm Which stays here like it never left The shelter of my soul The place where i slept in peace; It has awakened me in between The middle of an unknown hour For which i have strength to face But my soul is lost in a maze; Maze that doesn't makes sense But keeps me involved In it's languid turns To keep me away From the path in sight; Path that's away just a single step Which leads to the place That I've already been through That is followed by The turns I've known since birth; Tragedy it is That I've lost my memory Of who i used to be When i was last time here; Once again i am waiting along The valley of thoughts To bring in the Silence To tread the path once again; Whether the next turn Brings the starting point again I have no plans to stop today I have deci...

As i walked down the steeply overgrown bushes on a downhill mountain, Where i have been in dreams and nightmares, Fear still came raging in with no intention to give up, I went in to an open eyed trance to keep my nerve still, Still to all the promises made to self, I started into the night with trembling hands, The path got rugged with me sliding down, With gravity pulling me to bottom, My fears pushing from behind, To turn my beliefs into gravel and sand, The mountain started to conspire to test my will, Fears and worries were riding high against my desires to stay aboard, No courage remained in but a voice deep in the heart, Don't fall anyhow today, tomorrow holds a new expedition. I got through with a fear followed by shame, I know i didn't played my part, i got through it by Grace, Beyond the failure disguised as success, Awaiting with another chance to seek the voice of heart again and again. Until tomorrow arrives to see the glory of our life, Wh...

When night awaits the wanderer to return, To the mirror surrounding from above and beneath, It peeks what he has returned with, A bread of satisfaction or an empty handed distraction, Heart of the restless goes silent, When the next moment stops to listen, To take a look how well he's prepared, To face the moment of the midnight confusion, It's answers one seeks for the questions unanswered, To have a torch of reason, to feed up conscience, To go on with ancient swords, Where bravery shines but thoughts fear to ignite, The path is same where everyone has walked, Each feet has fallen where it was destined to fall, Don't try to plan what's beyond our reach, Listen to the call of the silence that speaks, The midnight confusion is the game of thoughts, To overcome the fears or to die in doubt, Believe yourself with the faith in divine, Being a wanderer, facing days and nights.
