Seeker Poet

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

Here we stand, knees deep in fire, Weeping, cursing, hurted along, In middle of the Yellow disaster, Forgotten for what we left home, Hands waving from here till horizon, Not a single to help, all to unravel our soul, Death just waiting for us to somehow give up, Life's pointing to graves and prisons, We all hardly dare to know the truth, That we don't know what may happen tomorrow, In between this aging turmoil, We all Dream The Impossible Dream. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

It's something that we don't understand, What we don't know we claim it a sin, A wrongdoing; if we are unable to do it, A mystic dancing in love of God, Seems transgressor to the Orthodox world, A poor little boy steals a bread to vanquish his hunger, World claims him a thief, We beat him until he dies or bleed, We don't push hard to feel a little further, Of why someone goes against the wind of the world, Why someone ain't comfortable being slave of majority, Skeptical place the earth is, Wrong things are allowed to do openly, Culture we follow, decency we fake, It holds the royal seals of orthodox majority, Silly jokes, loud laughters, On the contrary, righteousness stands in front of judges, Judges of this fake cruel world, Where truth hangs till death, Whose soul goes to heaven, But what will be here's judgement?, Judgement is coming, And it's coming real sooneth, Ones who pointed fingers, Will cry in corner alone, Ones who ...

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...

Past is gone, Have no regrets, Tomorrow's unknown, Not to worry, not to guess. Go free and passionate, Into the moment amazed, Door to door, Into a dreamy haze.

I won't fight you my demons, I won't let you in my dreams, I won't let you be my hero, I won't let you hurt my being, You've been here to make me gone, In dark dungeons, in restless storms, To put me behind, every now and then, To doubt in vain, thinking how and when, You are here every hour within, Dusty smoke; non-existing, not being, I let you in to dress me a thing, To think a slave while being a king, I won't fight you my demons, I'll sway you in a wave, Fear's just a thought, I am bold and brave, Go today, you'll go tomorrow, In refuge of 'the one' got no guilt no sorrow. I don't care a bit, you are enemy of mine, My life ain't dark, it lights and shine.
