Rhyme and Harmony, a poem by Asif Sultan Matta
Rhyme and harmony
Asif Sultan Matta
30 December 2016
Oppresed heart, fatigued eyes and numbed soul:
Regret on fury, or pain of betrayal;
Struggle to win, always I fail
Plenty love gestures play no role
Days of blossoms fade very fast,
Motifs in 'em seem no more bright,
Sweet lurid day turn scary night,
Guilt: desire, of now; or remark, of past
Desire: should I be loved the way I love;
Remark: love not the way she had been loved,
They bring fury and turn him wild,
Remorse and pain beneath him and above.
May fire of my love burn her all remark
And rhyme with my desire, harmony it embark.

Plenty love gestures play no role
Days of blossoms fade very fast,
Motifs in 'em seem no more bright,

Guilt: desire, of now; or remark, of past
Desire: should I be loved the way I love;
Remark: love not the way she had been loved,
They bring fury and turn him wild,
Remorse and pain beneath him and above.
May fire of my love burn her all remark
And rhyme with my desire, harmony it embark.
