The Tomb That God Built...

Do you know of the Sacred Tomb
Built by someone called God?
It's now floating in galaxy,
Though small, once it was broad;
Through ghastly orbit it circles
Where no one seems to trod;
But there were times when planets rolled
By this Tomb, they would nod...

This Tomb was built for mortal kinds
According to news, last;
They had unmatched technologies
Their science was growing fast,
We saw their rockets frequently
And Jets upon sky, vast;
Sometimes ago, out of nowhere
We heard a sudden blast!

We did send some scout-ships out there
To examine its nature:
Did not find any sign of life,
Perhaps won't too in future;
With abrupt volcanic erupts,
This land's brutally tortured;
Further exploration revealed
No longer it can nurture...

We have, however, collected
One electroplated piece,
Though we are not familiar
With its unknown linguistics,
Our lexicographer informed
It had morse codes released -
When deciphered in our language
The code looked quite like this...


" With 'father Sun and mother Moon',
Nine siblings I embraced,
I was lined up in Milky Way
And ended third in race,
While rounding miles of galaxy
The endless stars I chased;
And now upon the universe
I can't trace my own face...

There once was time when I was green
With precious flowers' bloom,
I had the flow of seven seas
With my faunal resume,
All seasons used to spread on me
With their divine perfume;
But soon I saw some towers rise
With toxic fluid and fume...

These towers were built by one specie
Called Homo Sapiens
And scientists claim they once were apes
Hugged trees with resilience,
Though priests would say God created them
In divine ambience;
They were the wisest of species
While lacking common sense...

These humans were once together
But soon they got divided
To cultures, races, religions -
They were differently guided,
While residing on my surface
Fed on what I provided;
Though battles for power and control
Always on me presided...

They dug my layer in search of wealth
And soon they became rich,
Using this wealth they produced bombs
I frequently felt itch
And exploded for several times
But none could hear my speech;
They forgot stitching my furrowed lands
For which I had my glitch

One day, I saw black V of Jets,
Spreading upon sky, vast;
While feeling their nuclear attacks
Saw humans mesh with dust;
Other species died with them too
Now no life's here to last -
Aimed at those Jets, raised my volcano
And had my final blast...

Perhaps there will be new species
Perhaps I'll have rebirth,
But I don't want to live again
For I have lost my mirth;
To live I tried, could not survive,
Perhaps I was not worth;
And though I'm dead, I still recall
My wretched name was Earth"...


So, there's the Tomb once built by God,
It's twisting by the stars,
Floating alone through mist and blurs
Beneath the universe,
Quietly whirling in bitter breeze
Once pretty, now bizarre - 
Once built by God, it's wasted now,
Blazing with fiery scars...

A Silent Poem...

Placed no limit on word
With blotch upon my brain
Meaningful or absurd,
I won't try to explain...
These lines are uncertain
Until the last I find;
My In is tied with sane
And tensity of mind...
The whys are undefined
With what and where and when,
While how is now behind
The slop of hasty pen...
If lost, these words abstain
From thoughts that quickly turn
To blank my head in vain,
Yet combine and discern...
I wonder what they yearn
With passing of each thought;
Can there be things to learn
When nothing I've been taught?
I once knew thoughts to plot,
Which my faint mind forgot;
The blank of mind has caught
My words; so, I'll speak not... 

Solitude...

When passing by this place, alone,
I stopped for while, sat by a stone;
With weary stare, I touched the earth;
I know this place yet quite unknown...

Some spirits fly in distant north,
These faceless ghosts are summoned forth;
I slowly drown in memories
And ponder if they've any worth...

In silence, far from lone cities,
Shining aloof through drooping trees;
Its wondrous pale captured my sight
With whispers of the misty breeze...

The birds above will soon stop flight
With fleeting of sleepy twilight
And I can't wait to fall in night
And I can't wait to fall in night...

An Eternal Dream...

Slowly and coldly the nights fall to day,
This dim mist covers my frosty city;
With the warm winds blowing the cold away,
I will hold your hands for eternity...
Like a prodigal son who's lost somewhere
I'll roam alone until you've heard my cries
And despite sorrows, I shall chant my prayer
Until the last star falls from paradise...
By Holy Gates of all Godly Towers,
I shall sing your song till darkness lessens;
Beneath the blossom of precious flowers,
Ancient voices will announce your presence...
...When I think of you in my sleepless dreams,
...Eternity's not as far as it seems...
