Aftab Alam - Without Grief

Sat under the dark starlit canopy,
Faced up, gazed heaven, rolled tears
Through eyes from the broken heart,
On his smooth chicks, to kiss the lips
So salty in taste
A question flanged in mind
Will tears ever taste sweet?

Bright moon appeared, uncovered
The shawl of eastern cloud, winked like flirt
Careless he was, wrapped with own grief shirt

At sudden his eyes followed, heaven’s arrow
A broken star were coming unto him,
Lost in its half way
All at their level best try to hug around girth
Why can’t all meteors touch the earth?

Small insects like pods were started singing
Ah! I learnt the secret of heaven,
Lost he, into the darkness, dancing
In search of bright morning
Without grief

Aftab Alam
