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

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...
