Seeker Poet

We are the midnight wanderers Rattling in the streets and houses In search of desired disguises Looking through the ravaged faces To assume the tears as laughter To think of 'bought' as possession Scratching the face of mirror To see the awaited reflection We dance in the scorching lights Holding our truth inside To mould what we want to appear To impress the world beside We seek the acceptance Of the lie that delights and pleases We adorn an illsion To the reality that caresses and consoles We are the midnight wanderers Rattling in the streets and houses Holding back to whatever we lost Loosing again whatever we got. © Mohammad Shahnawaz 2015

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

Reasons to live, Reasons to die, Reasons to smile, Reasons to cry, Rain came down, From bright blue sky, When it turns real dark, Truth is hard to dress a lie, Love as a reason, Is joy and pleasure's ally, Love of a family, Is the treasure you can't deny, Life brings moments, When it's hard enough to clarify, To bring aboard the reason, To once again give a try, If all the reasons are over, It's still no time for goodbye, We can turn again to the beginning, To live after we have died.

It shook me by surprise, The reason behind everything, That everything in life, Is farther than it appears, Moon and stars, Love in the heart, So close so far, It's life messy and bizarre, One moment it seems close, The next it's nowhere, It's our thoughts that cause this chaos, Where we stare and stay in the maze, Searching for answers, Thinking of something else, Seeing horizon in the distance, The desired valley where beauty dwells, But the truth has two sides, That's why it caused surprise, To see the gone, Await about to befall, The horizon in the distance, Is nothing but the reflection, Reflection of what's inside, The love, the desire, The soul which seems nowhere, Stays alive inside, Reflects what's in here, All around changing days and nights.

You don't need to answer. I won't say never. But most of the always you seriously don't need to answer. Not to the world, not even to yourself. You are free. We all are. But we do cage ourselves, often we do let people build walls around us. We suffocate in those walls. But we keep on bearing those walls in the name of love, society, discipline and so many orthodox empty orders.                I don't mean to condemn the above mentioned elements, but the truth is everything feels good only if it's not pushed on us, even God has granted us free will; so how can the world so ethically and unethically place boundations on us?       I find it funny as well as critical how society writes some non sense on paper and call them 'rules'. They push poison down our throat in the name of medicine. They try to steal what God gifted us: Free will. They don't want us to decide, they don't want us to open our eyes and most of all they don't want...
