Hafiz Poems - Tit Bits

I recently came across some poetry which is so beautiful and so sublime, I cant help but share it with you all : Absolutely Clear Don't surrender your loneliness So quickly. Let it cut more deep.

Everyone finds his repose in sleep, Sleep from my eyes has taken flight. Hafiz ********************************************** In times of youth, drinking is better.

Hafiz ********************************************** With fate you still hope to trade; Passage of time should make you afraid. You said no color comes after black, I said my black hair to white degrade.

The female monkey knew that since it is alive, it could have other babies, but if its own life is gone, where would the babies come from? Is there true love? No! All love is conditional. There is a catch with each and e

Love Fool - a Lyric!

My Lyrics/poems are not good ones…. I am not so adept with words like Arun (my friend whose blog contains a lot of beautiful poems - http://roonrao.blogspot.com/ ).. my lyrics/poems are quite spontaneous, I write the skeleton and add on lines here and there…bringing it to a shape that’s acceptable to me (mind it..acceptabe to me, ONLY!. I don’t care what others say!) Let’s start with a spontaneous one… let the topic be LOVE FOOL All have told that my heart is footloose! Running and bounding all over, Hoping with eternal hope that my love will come! Bound and Rebound from one to another. Love Fool, Love Fool, Love Fool Ever a sucker for love! Every time my heart breaks, Its back to hoping for the next one! All have told my heart is super strong! Growing strong with every ache! How could it suffer so many a heartbreak! How could it regain from the aches it suffers! Love Fool, Love Fool, Love Fool Ever a sucker for love! Every time my heart breaks, Its back to hoping for the next one! All
