Happy Birthday To Me.

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.
