The Poet

The Poet, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.

no paper
no pen
no ink pot
words
like little
butterflies
in flight
on you soul
with
a click
of a mouse
I write
where
there was
darkness
I spread light
pictorial passion
pedestrian plight
on the streets
of sorrow
at night
what you
see as color
I shoot as
black and white
poetizing
the soul of
humanity
as a Shiite
although
I have
deleted
you from
my consciousness
with your
impassioned
silence
my feather like
soul you smite
a love
more poisonous
than a rattle snake bite
two souls struggling
to enjoin and unite
on a mountain
of misery
beneath a skylight
