Wish all dreams were true

Wish all dreams were true

A Poem by Kajal Gulabani

A harsh “HOUR” of darkness emerged from its dwell,

High-in-spirits to converse, thus my sleep I had to quell.

Have traversed in typhoons and ebbs of tides,

He promulgated so with pride.

None, dare not cut off my wings and thorns,

Swank the tyrant with swords.

 

I gazed upon this colossal figure- majestic and blurred,

“If only thou merge with my soul”, longing my prayer to be heard.

He whirled his wand like cosmos on the dance floor,

Zoop!! Where did he diminish?? Thrusting me to explore??

 

Smiled the new Sun with a welcoming gaze,

Divine!! Flew my soul above its rays!!

‘TIME’ was now ‘ME’ and vice-versa,

We are on our way to Britain and Lanka.

 

How rich from its richness dooms!!

How fairer to its fairest blooms!!

How savagery burns in its own flame!!

How amity shines in its reign!!

Time with a spying eye, rewards or crucifies,

Showed me all, as my mate in disguise!!

 

The mighty Time fanned its mightier cloak,

Engulfed me in silence as I woke!!

Zoop! Where did you diminish? Thrusting me to NOW EXPLORE?

Thanks a tonne
is it the fault of our times? Overusing punctuation and font design? Why do you have to lay emphasis by blowing the font size of the desired words. And why so many exclamation marks? Aren't you then trying to lead the reader where you want them to go? Don't you like your readers to be independent? Your poems feels like contemporary sitcoms where there every minute there is some sound prop, hinting whether the viewers should smile, laugh, sigh or cry.

Mystery and magic. This took me back to the old Arabian Knights. This my favorite of yours. I'm keeping this one for myself.

Can I request you to have a look at my poems?
I like the description in the poem.
"Smiled the new Sun with a welcoming gaze,
Divine!! Flew my soul above its rays!!
‘TIME’ was now ‘ME’ and vice-versa,
We are on our way to Britain and Lanka."
Good flow of thoughts and I like the ending. Thank you for the excellent poetry.

Thank u so very much.. I feel blessed!
Your poetry is so complex and inviting. I need to read it twice usually to get the full effect from it. There's something mystical about the way you put words together. Another amazing read.

Thanks Ahmad :)
I liked it. I'm not sure I have any editing to offer, though. What were you thinking about when you wrote it?

Made me think of what it would be like to die and re-immerge with the source of all life. (particularly the part about 'TIME" was now 'ME' and vice-versa")
