Sinking Sun Poem by Aftab Alam

Sinking Sun

Rating: 5.0


When hope dies, then what left?
I know my heart gained the cleft
I am burning with the flame of fire,
Ah! Am I such a disgusting liar?

Whenever I see crimson red shine,
It turns to dying sun with pine,
Ocean to ocean rise and fall,
Life is nothing but a ping pong ball,

Let it be darken night - a coal tar
Suffocating breath without altar,
Hope must not die-never let it die,
Try and try-survive without the shy

For I know rising sun brings hope,
And the sinking sun-fear with dope

Hope must not die-never let it die, Try and try-survive without the shy The cardinal message of the poem! We cannot expect life to be hassle free! Storms can sweep and darkness can set in! But never leave hope! Life will re emerge as the sun rises every morning after sun set! Enjoyed! ........ Wish you a joy filled New Year!

Beautifully expressed, loved this poem, yes hope is one of the things that keeps us motivated to go on, otherwise may I guess, we would stop everything which I wonder, is it such a bad thing? I love the night and darken time. To me is relaxing, will bring the love for light and maybe from there comes the greatest hopes...
