Forever Sonnets (Poetry Blog)

O darling of the pink necklace-tree, Whose trembling soul breaks forth in tuneful cries, You pourest to the wandering winds of sea The secret pulse that in your bosom lies. Praise to the Power who shaped us wing’d and free. Oh, upon the willow-bough I hail to stay, To sing for whose voice through waters leap, Commanding the sun to wake the flowers of May. “Speed on,” the bird sings: for the breeze” For in your path the northern waters play, All their ancient glories kiss your way to seas— And I feed on simple grain within the dale— But you, whose music moves the spheres above, Do keep me singing here in awe and love. ----Affaq N.Affaq  #Sonnets #foreversonnets

Blessed were those who fled this mortal strife,  And saw not Man enslaved by rich’s paws  Whose skirts were spared from sin’s devouring knife,  Nor bowed to tyrants ruling over with selfish laws Industries rise over night thru wicked wafts  Binding the meek in chains of luxurious lies;  They preach of justice, feasts, and using grafts  Binding in satanic knots where spirit dies. But lo! the Sun ascends through clouded air,  Heaven commands: “Awake, O light, and rise!”  Still hymns of tender hearts go in mourning air  The flame that mocks the empire of disguise. Though vulgar Age proclaims humanity’s fall,  The Eternal voice yet sings — and conquers all. ----Affaq N Affaq  #Sonnets #LyricalPoetry #AffaqArtist

On Jamaican Bay  The ire, like fire, in mortal hearts is bred, And like a hawk he swooped with wrath to claim; Her single slip of tongue stirred sudden dread, A tiny fault that rose to thunder’s flame. A creature small, yet loud as oceans roar, She cried, though tears like pearls adorned her face; For anger flares, then cools, as waters pour, And laughter soft may banish all disgrace. A flower famed for smiles she bloomed again, Disdaining bitterness that storms impart; She waited long till vesper graced the plain Of Jamaican bays, with calmness in her heart. She whispered forth her plea in timid air— None sorrowed then—all rejoiced to see her fair. ----- Affaq   #SonnetPoetry #LyricalPoetry 

In Eden’s spring, the first sweet life began, Fair beauty flourish, and sadness knew no name; The Lord adorned the newborn soul of man, With murmuring rivers and flowers set aflame. The vine did creep and mellowed sunlight played, While breezes sang along the singing stream, And lambs reposed beneath the myrtle shade Of perpetual peace and love’s immortal dream. But then man, forgetful of that hallow’d place, The seas now mourn, the air no longer pure, With pride and deceit defaced the Maker’s grace; Imagine, the heart’s deceit no angel may endure. Through dawn’s fresh promise  His voice is near, “Awake, and return, My eden  bloometh here.” -----Affaq  Still I am young
