Happy Birthday To Me.A Poem by Ahmad Rayees
My birth is taking place today
Awaken within this fading world By the lights of this netherworld Washed by the teardrops I lay naked on the ground Till I'm drenched by the blood. Thinking of a dream which I had In my mother's womb The lark flew over my head Seems to be a flight of stars Clouds overshadowed my body And I lost myself in this gloomy dream I lay there for a hundred years like that Before I was born, the stories of death Reverberated into my angelic soul The chaos, uncertainty, strife Drizzling on me endlessly Until I saw humanity sprout I could feel the roots deep inside me And search the essence of life Today I came to know that, Life and death are not the ending Or the beginning of the soul It's an innumerable scar. I never want to end this poem With Birth & Death. © 2024 Ahmad Rayees |
