Some "Notes" and Other Poems

Some "NOTES"

Unbiased innocently,
 took me by hand softly
 like Zephyr caressing the Sleeping leaves
 down into the memory lane
 where each grip was slippery
 holding was a struggle tougher
 I got tossed against drenched aura
 I once had been there!
 Long ago...
 when we knew each other
 by dictum of Brotherhood
 peace, joy and reconciliation!

Where "NOTES" sweeter would lull us...!
 Into those crevices, I tried to stay
 Hey...It was all a moment...!
 Created by Angels Human
 through their 'notes'
 inviting and pulling...!!!
 Such a pull!
 An array of liquidity
 commanded by Emotions Sanguine
 made their way into the being
 only to be rubbed off
 by hands confusing
 I wonder...
 if memories make me !!!

 Yes, but the ashes remain...
 A melancholic display insane
 The burns are live though
 Agony utters the diction so
 And early winter afforded end
 To all gifts that does Spring send
 My numbness knocks naked now
 The universe stands but the love?
 I gifted thee my springs all
 And harkened each beat and call
 Followed trails with tiresome ease
 Sang of crickets, sang of bees
 Did I fail a leaf to hold
 In a fistful human mold?
 What I gather now, a collective gain
 FATHOMLESS BLUESOME BLISTERING PAIN

Open up my dangles, break my binds
 In utter dark this soul itself finds.
 Smooth my rough away, guide me through,
 Lead me to that sense, where I human service do.
 Enlighten my soul with bountiful grace,
 Winds, storms, tempests, I alone cannot face.
 Bless me always with presence feel,
 Cobwebs worldly come difficult to deal.
 Bless, Yes bless my thirsty soul,
 Accept my pleadings, do listen to my call.
 (Do...)

Anything if they say;
 I'm short of everything...
 Short of Expressions
 Ex
 Pre
 Sessions!!!
 How would I express
 In Words more
 or silence less
 Or in Wavy Scribbles
 Falls or dribbles
 Or in lines Straight
 Four
 six
 or eight?
 Or
 Take this activity inward
 like folded wings of a bird
 and taking every thought
 into the Realms of Nought
 and measure the immeasurable
 with lengths available...
 Available?
 Are they?
 Hey!
 wait a second...
 I'm not telling you anything.
 I don't have words,
 phrases
 or diction...
 Then...
 Anything can be a trajectory Rough
 and it is not a pun or bluff
 Let anything shut Nothing
 Let Nothing be Anything
 Let "Anything" be Veiled
 In an envelope mailed !
 Let everyone uncover
 Second, minute and an hour
 Let everyone behold
 what the eyes could hold
 and heart can purchase
 what with love was sold...
 
 ANYTHING!

Raies Ahmad, from the vale of paradise called Kashmir, opened up his eyes in the kerewas of Khrew where dewy mornings sing to Dew falling evenings, where the first rays of the sun do not miss kissing the dewy pearls and misty presence offering a secure refuge and where mysticism binds souls. At present, the poet sketches his inklings in Kashmiri, Urdu and English.
