Your boundless coffee

Image
I seek your love, unmatched in earth or air, And your manifesting beam within me lies; My life long parched crave that tender share, Through your largesse my fainting breath replies. One single glance can set my weary eyes, Or bend the fickle goddess of my pathetic fate; Reimagine days, from tarnished to the wise, Words fail to thank you for a mercy, great. I thirst for extremes of love, though ill begun; I do hope for more, but deem myself untrue; Receive my petition—whatsoever be done, Your boundless coffee shall both give and strew. And If mercy be your coin, Oh, then let it fall; Remain my all, my everlasting, my all in all. ----Affaq N Affaq  #AffaqPoetry #SonnetsOfAffaq #ForeverSonnets #TheBardsBench #SonnetsOfAffaq #PearlyDewsOfMorning #PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommunity #AuthorAffaq #AffaqWriter #PoetWriter #WordsByAffaq #AffaqOnYouTube #AffaqOnInstagram #AffaqOnPinterest  #MorningInspiration "Pearly Dews of M...

Lament of Separation

Image
When sky do weep, each tear a separate woe, How shall my heart from dearest friend be torn? The breeze’s lament, in sighs that sadly blow; How snatch my hand from warmth it hath worn? Lo, the heaven grieves, and fiery bolts do fall From winged steeds, breathing smoke and dread; How may I then from those who love me call My spirit forth, where true-born faith is bred? And the feathered chorister on broken spray Wails alone; how to leave my friend in dust? The bloom, forlorn, her perfume stolen away By fumes she made for joy, now foul, unjust. When tender infants in ruin parch and pine, How can I drink sweet sips and call them mine? ----Affaq N Affaq  #AffaqPoetry #SonnetsOfAffaq #ForeverSonnets #TheBardsBench #SonnetsOfAffaq #PearlyDewsOfMorning #PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommunity #AuthorAffaq #AffaqWriter #PoetWriter #WordsByAffaq #AffaqOnYouTube #AffaqOnInstagram #AffaqOnPinterest  #MorningInspiration "Pearly Dews of...

The Coming Storm

Image
And soon, the vast welkin , by clouds is rent, And fast-flung winds, a harbinger of dread, Across the firmament their fury lent, As the thunder's mighty orison is said. O Love, haste hence to where the northway flows, To stand against tempest, the most piteous fray, For all our hopes, the year-long labour shows, Shall be undone before yet the light of day. Behold, those clouds, in a funereal veil, With eyes of fire, their dire intent declare, To crush our olives, fragile, faint, and frail, And shatter dreams of castles in the air. So seize the axe, and with your swift accord, Wage war, my love, against fate's own direful hoard . --Affaq N Affaq  PoetAffaq #ArtistAffaq #AffaqPoetry #SonnetsOfAffaq #ForeverSonnets #TheBardsBench #SonnetsOfAffaq #PearlyDewsOfMorning #PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommunity #AuthorAffaq #AffaqWriter #PoetWriter #WordsByAffaq #AffaqOnYouTube #AffaqOnInstagram #AffaqOnPinterest  #...

A Memory Reclaimed

Image
O memory, didn't my soul command to pursue  The hour youth was crowned with jocund cheer? When on my brow there bloomed a passion new, And vow’s bright torch illumined the budding year. We chased the kites upon the windswept plain, Their gaudy wings did mock the vault on high; While piping reeds gave forth a pastoral strain, And time stood still beneath the summer sky. Lo! on the hills the sighing tempests spoke, Still we, unbowed, did seek the shepherd’s fold; And when the viol through the silence broke, Its trembling voice was richer than pure gold. Though feasts be fled, and rustic songs decay, Their echoes live and haunt my soul today. ----Affaq  PoetAffaq #ArtistAffaq #AffaqPoetry #SonnetsOfAffaq #ForeverSonnets #TheBardsBench #SonnetsOfAffaq #PearlyDewsOfMorning #PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommunity #AuthorAffaq #AffaqWriter #PoetWriter #WordsByAffaq #AffaqOnYouTube #AffaqOnInstagram #AffaqOnPinterest  #Morni...

#Echoes of a Longing

Image
And the traveler flew to the summer seas, From saddened fields before the sunrise leap. The songbird chased after the tearful breeze, Mournful rustling leaves displayed their grief. The war-birds rumble in the troubled air, And fawns to stable thickets swiftly went, As atrocities in the willow grove led to despair, Shallow cove doesn't see bustle but lament. Not swans dance the teal-kissed water knew, The very springs, once leaping, were now dry. Fairest things of past years long for their hue, Stunning delight did in deep sorrow die. When shall Rose and nightingale once more? Bring back the joy that they miss and adore. ---- Affaq   PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommunity #AuthorAffaq #AffaqWriter #PoetWriter #WordsByAffaq #AffaqOnYouTube #AffaqOnInstagram #AffaqOnPinterest  #MorningInspiration "Pearly Dews of Morning" #PoetryOfTheDay #SonnetsOfTheDay

#Lines About Snow

Image
Listen this lyrical Sonnet  Available on Facebook/ Instragram & YouTube also click here✓    Shuttered Dreams Behold, lily-white globules, bright they are, Soft pathways woven, a couch of powder deep. Larks humming in the air, sweet as a star, Penguins feast, as they from frozen waters creep. Celestial care on Earth’s rough fields did shine, Snow fell to cleanse the world as sweet as dew. A longing stirred amidst these flakes divine; Sylphs in their Ice Queen’s robe drank brew. The winter’s chill, a sacred, spectral scene, My eyes beheld the visions cold and yet fair. A zeal was born, unearthly, sharp, and keen, That shaped crystal forms the frosty air. Until the owl intoned a prophet’s word, And witches’ joy dissolved, their song unheard. ----Poet Affaq  PoetAffaq #ArtistAffaq #AffaqPoetry #SonnetsOfAffaq #ForeverSonnets #TheBardsBench #SonnetsOfAffaq #PearlyDewsOfMorning #PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommun...

#The Tyrant in Golden Fields

Image
Bang! Bang! the thunders rend the voiceless air, The famished beast leaps forth with burning eyes; The budding rose turns pale in sudden glare, And flocks take wing beneath the darkened skies. Through golden grain he storms with iron tread, The peasant’s dream lies broken in the clay; By candle’s flame lone mothers earn their bread, While tyrant builds his throne of ash and clay. He stalks the wounded fields with chilling guile, And spares the infant’s brow, yet not from grace; On holy graves he plants his flags of vile, And mocks the starry charter of our race. Bang! Bang! the trumpets sound, the heavens flame— The Seraphs rise to judge his iron name. --Affaq  #ArtistAffaq  #SonnetsOfAffaq #ForeverSonnets #TheBardsBench  PearlyDewsOfMorning #PoetryLovers #PoetsOfInstagram #Sonnets #PoeticWords #WordsMatter #PoetryCommunity #AuthorAffaq #AffaqWriter #PoetWriter #WordsByAffaq #AffaqOnYouTube #AffaqOnInstagram #AffaqOnPinterest Sonnet Song Compiled by Poet Affaq...
