Harnessing Tears by Raj (India)

By Ansul Noor on June 23, 2010 in Contributions

 Waiting by Ansul of SoulScapes

Waiting by Ansul of SoulScapes

Should I harness my tears
or just set them free
to let out all emotions
which are bunded within?While I turn my back
on what was once my abode
it’s hard to bid Adieu
to its Welcome mahogany door

Torn between past and future
my tears now lie in wait
as sadness and joy overwhelm
on either side of the gate

While these tears choke
within my pounding heart
I can’t open its flood gates
to wash away my past

Wash away they won’t
a past which too is dear
on the other side of midnight
they’d surely re-appear

With my eyes brimming
I cross my gate of guilt
to joyous tears beckoning
from the threshold of my mate

These tears I hold in harness
would find their way to his heart
in whose beat they’d confide
some feathers I’ve left behind…

this is for a dear friend who is mustering courage, finding herself on the thresh hold of embracing her newfound love …

    I am not sure if i am allowed to post here..Taking the liberty to post one poem…hope you wont mind me doing this…

    Before Dusk Settles

    That fleeting moment
    while Sun kisses the horizon
    is like our parting

    Shadows disappear
    sooner than memories fade
    into twilight

    I gather the sand
    of our footprints and castles
    ingrained with our love

    Before dusk settles
    I sprinkle the sand
    upon our rose beds

    Hi Nooreen,

    It is a joy to be visiting this website again and see it enriched even more than when I visited it before. I haven’t written much poetry of late. Sharing a couple of recent short scribbles..

    Resemblance

    Connect with the rhythm of nature,
    in its moods we discover
    shades of life
    in all their true colors
    resembling mine and thine

    Immortal Grace

    A flower blooms
    bringing in its wake beauty & fragrance
    for others to behold

    To the soil she humbly owes her existence
    bestowed by divine intervention
    To the soil her spirit would return
    and her soul in the oblivion
    not in abject surrender
    but with immortal grace
