Elegy for Nadia Anjuman

[aashishameya]

O…! Sparrow of cage
Heart was your full of courage
And brave are your words
Surrounded by dark hours
Breathed in shared wind
You enlightened many nights
Married to a man?
But loved by divine
Your poems, like freedom wine,
Will quench thirst of bard like mine
Torch of future buried down
Will you throw light from god’s crown?

( Nadia was a young Afghan poetess who was beaten to death by his husband and in Laws)

Goodness. I have never heard of her. Sounds awfully sad. Your poem is fine but after your parenthetical note, I can only feel her mortality which seems absent in your poem.

[aashishameya]

A dream stands by a river side,
Looking into a blissful tide
For an eternal ride,
But before it...
Words of wisdom spoken by the tide
Ready for an everlasting voyage,
Throw all your garbage
And be ready for burning,
Like me;
I grasp the heat of the sun
Causing all my vanity to burn.
I take all creative pain
And make divine rain
Which, cooling the arid earth,
Slakes her eternal thirst,
Then she remains my worth
Worth...like a noble thought in the mind of a merciful king
Or divine songs which nightingales sing
For soothing wounded souls.
For reward I was freed from the foul
Before being one with the sea
I traveled like a bee
Bee..! Who, in search of honey,
Suddenly finds the truth
So... you, who are subjective
Must become objective
Either taking the form of a flower
And blossoming in the heart of nature
Or becoming a love shower
To satiate a heart full of pain
Now, dream thinks...!
Before I start my journey
Let me do certain things:
Let me serve humanity,
Let me open the doors
And tighten the hinges.

[aashishameya]

My love died yesterday
Without any voice, with lots of cries
Desires burned it down
From top to down
Till last dropp of sweat and tear
There was fire near
But I was without fear
In the lap of cold night
Snowfall, our melting bodies, twinkling stars
All were bright with divine light
Divine rhythms were echoing with heartbeats
Scene was perfect; like a poem by “Keats”
In the time arch we slide to and fro
Until our bodies collapsed from nail to tow
Two dead bodies were on bad
But two live souls; perfect soul mate,
Was everywhere
From the ashes
Phoenix of love rose again
To live forever and ever.

I've been meaning to ask for a while....isnt it "Elegy On 'somebody' "? "Elegy For ...." is quite new to me....

[aashishameya]

Actually at the time of writing I was also confused, so I asked some one whose English is better and he suggested me FOR,
