Saudade !







See a desert in my side 
And, all I behold is brown
Moon is brown and the Sky
Cause after You are gone
All that remained is...
The Sand and Foam!




Wave of life is missing
For the Sand, Sea is reaching
But I lie shattered in the Grey Oblivion
Too far from the Blue desert
Perhaps to save the Shadows....
And, The Sand and Foam.




All, I embraced was the  Love
Alas! I never Embraced Thee
Running for the Shadows,
Chained to the Horizons,
Crying for the Moon, Celestial Love
My Dreams stampede you in the turmoil
And in this hour of departure 
I long for The Sand and Foam.

                                                                        


YOU summon me in this dry hour
You raise yourself to me
Ah ! I do not know how I could contain You
In the earth of My soul, in the cross of my arms!

Or in the Desert of my fervent Dreams!









For, the Love is ever incomplete....
And you and me,
Like the incomplete breath of Unfinished kiss.
   Cause You come and go
And Toils are great, but in vain
Of the Sand to contain...
Without cease, I seize your Remains
But moments pass, and The Foam is gone...
   A stroke of wind blows The Sand away.
Who says Time is a healer ??  





Entangled on The Parting of worlds
But how do I meet Thee?
For Thou livest in Infinite depths.
Like the sand, I wander with the crazy wind

oh ignorant! my craving for the light
But the Sun is eclipsed and the vision skewed,

All that I see is a dark Horizon...
And everything sank,  in the Sand and Foam.






You rise from the lost horizon...
But I am the Lost discoverer!
Wounded and blinded soul,
In the black solitude of the Islands,
My Dreams in exile!



Oh deserted me! you are far
Farther than all,
You are the un-worshipped deity,
And I am the yet un-offered flower of your ruined temple.

In the Depths, On the Shore
We lie in deathless neglect!
Oh abandoned me! But I feel your Thirst 
With every coming tide..
You fill my frail vessel.

Like the emptiness of sand,
My Voyage of Longing.
But my love for foam, In you my longing fell
My Destiny! In you everything sank.

Who can fathom whose longing's more?
Off the sand of endless shore!
Or the foam of infinite Sea!





Thou have filled me with the greatest sea,
Such is Thy love for me.
I Know not, but I keep it in the shrines
Still,
Like the wait of (over) an Unborn Tear...
Life is an endless Saudade,
Of What ?? You ! Love !
Or The Sand and Foam !!!

  2. oh! Awesome analogies. Using the words "sand and foam" in itself is a huge responsibility just because it has a Magnum opus status in the world of philosophy! I m glad the poem gives these words its own meaning and perspective. Would like to mention a few wonderful lines.

    For, the Love is ever incomplete....
    And you and me,
    Like the incomplete breath of Unfinished kiss.
    Cause You come and go
    And Toils are great,but in vain
    Of the Sand to contain
    Without cease, I seize your Remains
    But moments pass , and The Foam is gone...
    A stroke wind blows The Sand away.

    and


    Oh deserted me! you are far
    Farther than all,
    You are the unworshipped deity,
    And I am the yet unoffered flower of your ruined temple.

  8. मंज़िल की फ़िक्र क्यूँ करे तू राही?
    जब तक चल रही है तेरी स्याही
    ना डर से डगमगा, ना ग़म से डर
    जब रास्ता है तेरा, तू चल बेफ़िकर
