Two Poems by Farah Naz
A Lover's Stanza
My heart has no other desire
But to fulfill the need of love;
The most cherished feelings of time,
The unconditional ecstasy of life,
The ethereal spring of creation.
Timeless, boundless and full of chasm
Immortal sentiment – I must recall!
Poet's ambrosial expression,
Diva's passionate mantra,
Danseur's delightful prom.
Pedagogue's enlightenment,
Sage's words of wisdoms,
Beloved's dainty idealism.
Mystic ballad of nature – I opt to call!
My soul has no other dream
But to cherish this reverie of life.

Bemoan, My Beloved
We listen to the invincible Achilles
moaning for his long lost love…
He stood grieving over
the grave of his Beloved…
And he recalled how much
she wished that love in his eyes
reached the lips once in a while…
To his dismay, she left silently
without a word, without a whine;
only with soft moans of pain
with a bleeding heart…
And the love that changed the world
today that love stands destitute
amidst the crowd.
