Seeker Poet

An unnoticed look She had in her eyes When she was surrounded By colours Smiles and chatters all around Some were joking While some were gazing Some were thirsty While some were embracing No one was friend In those sparkling lights Everyone cared for 'I' To be someone talked about To steal an eye of every passerby She stood there waiting For the eyes that seek her Not the eyes that Search through faces And pick up the one To dress and showcase, She wore a smile With a thought realized That in this marketplace of pride There are eyes to seek There's desire to follow Everybody's dressed too heavy But deep inside They are hollow She stood there waiting She's waiting there still Dressed in dignity Refused to compromise To wait for the eternity Then to bring close: the end. © Mohammad Shahnawaz Image By: Mistilav Pavlov

How easily i forget, How easily i lose the sight, Of how i got into shade, Of how i got my sweat dried, When i stood up high, Known of what may come, I chose it for myself, To stay under the midday sun, The sun got closer, To test my valor and will, Blinding eyes to the wall, Blood sweating from within, I stood there blind, Weak to look into it's eyes, Somehow i survived, To see that a blessing has arrived, A cloud came in, Bringing peace and joy with itself, A shade so relieving, So calm that i was out of myself, I roamed in the shade, Of blessing and peace, I hold my head high, To see, sun is close to release, I came back in, In the shade of the wall, The sun came back again, Much more sharper, much more tall, When i crawled back in, About blessing i realized, How easily i forget, How easily i lose it's sight. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015
