Nostalgic Poems by abbas99(m): 6:03pm On Nov 24, 2016
*Loniwe*

Loniwe,my loniwe
Hands softer than fur
My love have gone the way of the open sea
To the lands I knew before u came
The cool breezes shall blow and whisper
The memory of your name



*Lonely house*
I miss her in the weeping of the rain
My back bent like old beggars under sacs
I wait for you like a lonely house
Till then,my windows ache

**Lunita**


Tell me lunita
How many beads are there in the silver chain
Of the evening rain
Unravelled,threading the eye of the yellow star
Tell me how the waves clasp one another
And how mountains yearn for a kiss from the heavens
But do tell lunita......
If there ever was a love like mine for you

**Cupid**


Ancient god of love with the hearts of men for hat

Painted blind 'cause love sees with the heart

Breathes the air made from the fume of passioned sighs

I warn you beware of him

For his words are falser than vows made in wine so dim

I now sing with a fearful thrill

Of things unknown but longed for still

I hear cupid's sweet tune on a distant hill

I sigh at the remembrance of shakespeare quote

"If music be the food of love,play on"

**Lucifer's lost thoughts**

Tis lonely here
How did I get here
I,Son of The morning
I,Glorious morning star
Now cursed to lose the flow of my semen in the sands


I,Created from fire
Made to bow before mud
Did I not obey, my creator
When I refused to bow to anything but you
I ponder on lonely thoughts
If the command was a test to my submission


I,Plunged deep into the great depths of despair
Knee knocked,coughing like hags
Till on the haunting glory I turned my back
And towards my thousand years I begin to trudge
Until then,deus meus,a thousand kisses but give me none in return.............
For there set my blood on fire.

**Lost Rib**

Eye lashes like waves of the old nile
Legs like a startled. Otter with hips beguile
Luscious breasts like the moulds of acacia
*sighs* you think I never loved her

I remember the first night
Raw passions flooding at first sight
The bed was like an ocean
And we rode the wave

I sit here in the sands of time
Listening to the echoes of my falling tears
I go now back to my father my dear eva
Back to the earth I came
But the rib I longed for still
If by chance you find need of me
Look for me under your boot soles

**Night in Hell**

I lay awake in the mass ocean of esoteric vine
Pondering on the great questions of our time
Atheism,islam,christainity,hinduism,death
Till the warm arms of sleep pulled me into its great depth

I awake to the pungent smell of sulfur
In a place straight out of dante's purgatory or
This may be hell
A sweet sorrowful tune envelops me in a warm embrace
Leading me its great depth

I come upon an enclave,in it a being
Who walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies
In adamantine chain and penal fire

The one who defied the omnipotent,so am told
"O how fallen,lucifer",I said
With a voice so spake the being though in pain
Vaunting aloud ,but racked with deep despair it said
"That.......is not my name"

"O satan,chief of many throned powers"
"O fallen morning star",I said
With head raised and eyes that sparkled blazed
The being spoke that all the deep hollows of hell shook
"That........is not my name"

The being rose with a crown knotted in fire
With burning golden eyes enveloped in gold and silver moon
And diamond stars and mist that float
I,Standing close stained the white radiance of eternity

It said,"come away o human child"
"To the fires and the wild"
"With I,hand in hand"
"For the time has come to speak of many things"
