Desert and Oasis

-


A barren tract of my life yearns for an
oasis,
Like a pale wrinkled face languishing for
glosses,

Here bondings are like motes of sand without any cohesion ,
And bondages like spines of cactus with firm
adhesion,

Centuries have passed , rain of joy hasn't wet
my core,
Am as dull, as rough as I was millenniums before,

Sun warms me and moon  calms me, this happens every day and night ,
I am stuck in this monotony wanna dance in shower bright,

I am a desert how can a rose of love flourish in my heart ?
Even if it sprouts, dry winds will wither it apart,

Even if desert gets an Oasis will its dryness
diminsh ?
The two would meet but the grief wouldn't
finish.

Oasis's  beauty will stand apart mocking ugly savage desert,
The desert will remain dry and deprived will remain it's heart.

    It is amazing at so many levels.
    The metaphor within the metaphors.
    I am sure, for person with a heart full of poetic oases, life can never be barren, no matter how many dry winds of discomfort blow during the journey across this desert.
    Kudos to you. :)

This Can't Be The End

Failed and faltered life became, What left is pity and shame, It’s a beginning of a descend, But this can’t be the end. Commencement been so depriving, Conclusion will be awe inspiring, Midway i shouldn't lament, This can't be the end. I will rise, rise like a phoenix, Becoming notable from a nix, Will turn to reality what I had dreamt, This can't be the end. Tired, mired but not yet retired, Fell from top still inspired, Till the last I will contend, This can't be the end. I would have been there hadn't I quitted, For others to take charge hadn't I permitted, Years down the lane, I don't wanna repent, This can't be the end. Circumstances have to be favourable, Luck has to be bankable, The destiny has to mend, This can't be the end. The turmoils will tranquilize, The glooms will rejoice, A bright smile will ascend, This can't be the end. Fulfilled and fruitful life will become, Joys overshadowing the soul numb, I can and I will turn the tables up...

A Transformation

I would catch you later, saying this I left my joys and plays, Because I have to finish my work that I can't delay. They said all right do come soon we would be waiting, But don't forget us in your rat racing. Oh! How could I forget you? You were always been my desire, I would be working so that plenty of you I can acquire. I would visit you once I get out of this mayhem. Then I missed them a lot and daily dreamt of them. Daily countless hours I worked and worked so on, I even forgot sense of dusk and dawn. With tired eyes I slept, that even dreams didn't bother me, Calmness had been crumbled, only anxiety and rush smothered me. Fantasies and desires then became things of past, Thanks to harsh realities that made me so aghast. Eyes were darkened and face wrinkled, Notion of beauty I forgot, a little fragrance I haven't sprinkled. I lost sense of fatigue and pain, I did the same work again and again. One day...
