Caring my Neglected Soul<br />
Nekhab e Ridvan<br />
Chivalry dominated the delighted evening of my life,<br />
Jove and Muse hath conjured me up in praise of all morbid passions,<br />
I was lost at the first sight of her bright gleaming face,<br />
But never noticed her wrathful designs.<br />
I kept on fancying myself with the most dreadful thought of union,<br />
It was suppose to be an union of love, not of convenience,<br />
I expected your hands to be benevolently healing like the nurses of the apothecary,<br />
But all could I gather was nothing and I slipped the sands of time.<br />
Well ,you may be sympathetic at my immense loss and might have gone far to curse that<br />
Lady so fair,<br />
So with due respect I introduce all to her,<br />
She is none but my passions and fancy which has drugged me with considerable doses of opium,<br />
I was dreaming myself dancing with an image of mine on the lawns of Elysium,<br />
But before I was more suited for an asylum, those healing hands saved my utter misfortune.<br />
I was made to penetrate the unfathomable depths of Her,<br />
She tended me with utmost care.<br />
Showed me all the moon and stars that she did bear,<br />
Nothing ever leaves her and goes,<br />
Her magnanimity and compassion always vanquishes their imprudent desires,<br />
Those pelting droplets of the cosmic tears, once, did leave this earth’s abode to return as tears,<br />
She still tends and teaches them the eternal laws of attraction.<br />
I succumbed to the sweet drops of opium like passions, and forever neglected my soul’s understanding,<br />
I knew as it was eternal and so would never die.<br />
I stabbed it with the sword of fanciful phantasm’s :<br />
Which were perhaps too sweet in their disposition but too sanguine in its virtue.<br />
And When I was successful at last in blasting every bit of happiness in me,<br />
My definition of happiness was sadly imprudent and material.<br />
I never conjectured much into the self ,<br />
Moments of deliverance was solely bestowed on the sparks of passion,<br />
But happiness has got emptiness in its essence where no craving and all self satiation dominates.<br />
Acceptance and forgiveness are it’s innate qualities,<br />
At last this somber heart can rest in peace.<br />
