Solitude Of A Poet In A Lock Down Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Solitude Of A Poet In A Lock Down

Rating: 5.0


The one who always dreamed solitude,
A pin drop silence to think and think,
Both heart and brain flying on a high altitude,
Walking on Milky Ways to find out a link,

A link with a fairy having long silky hairs,
Blue stars in deep smiling eyes,
Colors of an apple on the cheeks, the lips' eclairs,
A transparent dress of clouds somewhere in the skies,

With exciting cuts and inviting curls, a fairy who is pink,
Wiling to be hugged and willing to be kissed,
One who, in my arms, is too happy to shrink,
Blessed I am and she is blissed,

My eyes are closed, her eyes are closed,
It is wine of love and both are drunk,
A medicine, for the pains of life, overdosed,
Who opened my eyes who made the air stunk,

On the chariots of clouds I see the fairy going back,
I am now in a lock up locked down for love,
I want to go outside; it's almost a death, life I lack,
I want to write a poem on a dirty brown dove,

She is wife of a daily wager her infant needs milk,
She is herself hungry and her breasts are dry,
Her dark brown dirty skin is still a silk,
Hungry eyes are looking at her and me at the sky!

(Lock downs due to spread of corona virus, if continue, serious maybe it's consequences!)

Orphic piece of art. Sometimes solitude is not silence and clamour is not noise. Great imagery.

My eyes are closed, her eyes are closed, It is wine of love and both are drunk, A medicine, for the pains of life, overdosed, Who opened my eyes who made the air stunk, IF YOU DISCONTINUE it may be worse AND its bad as it is in SOLITUDE LOVELY VERSE JA SIR
