New Poems?

This title is misleading...It really should be "Poems I wrote a while back that I forgot to put up a long time ago that I am putting up now." :D

Oblivion.AyshaAdrees.

Each person in this world

His whole life

Runs around

Searching, here there, in people

in deserted streets

In piles of rubble in alleyways

In materials like gold, silver

Dollars

Rupees

Liras

Pesos.

Money & Wealth.

In books,

In gardens,

In pets,

In drunkenness and parties. “Fun.”

In socializing

In traveling to foreign lands

In food

In sand as well as sea

For what they call “peace”

‘Serenity”

“Happiness.”

But why do they do waste so much time searching, scavenging, trying again and again

And again

And again

And again

Til it becomes so very old, driving us humans crazy,

When we’re clearly told, and deep inside we are aware that,

True happiness

Comes only from remembering

The Beloved, our Lord

Even

Again and again and again

And a million plus times over.

Flying Insects.AyshaAdrees.

As the horse treads through grass gracefully

Daintily, unintentionally catching flowers

On its hoof

I wonder

Can you, my dear horse,

Catch the insect-infested mud, too?

The sky catches

Luminous stars twinkling, glittering in the moonlight,

The sun proudly lighting the day,

Wispy clouds,

Planet Earth…

Just as it catches

Dirt.

Smoke.

Rubble.

Debris. And flying

Insects.
