The road takes me on <br />Through meandering mazes <br />Into mists and hazes <br />Till the time of dawn <br /> <br />Fiery icicles swarm <br />As Heaven’s haughty torch <br />Lies on azure porch <br />With flames to charm <br /> <br />Divine breaths plead <br />Pink rose-buds to dance <br />As swallows prance <br />Little mouths to feed <br /> <br />Drops of divine sorrow <br />Quench the meadows’ thirst <br />Mighty pillows burst <br />Doomed to weep and morrow <br /> <br />Locks of green hair <br />On the hills and dales <br />Harks to soothing tales <br />Lion in his lair <br /> <br />Fangs of the Earth rise <br />While a gaping hole <br />Devours my soul <br />As the last ray dies <br /> <br />Water pillars fall <br />Foaming fast in fury <br />Ridden by Mercury <br />As by Devil’s call <br /> <br />Lands bereft of lawns <br />Wind in pain grieves <br />Rainbow of fallen leaves <br />Cursing, moaning pawns <br /> <br />Watery fingers hold <br />Sand’s burning breast <br />Wails a wrathful crest <br />Secrets to unfold <br /> <br />Ferries drown in a mad witch’s frown <br />Clowns thrust in the fate’s claws <br />Satan sneers at human flaws <br />Feathers caught in Persephone’s crown <br /> <br />Of the Devil’s art <br />Saw a broken bow <br />Broken arrow <br />Aimed at Heaven’s heart <br /> <br />Shrouded trees in a cold clasp <br />Beaten hard by hails <br />Frozen fingers with icy nails <br />Sting the heart, a cruel asp <br /> <br />A silver crescent, gloomy and dim <br />The night’s coy lantern <br />And the Hours’ urn <br />Drunk with ashes, filled to brim <br /> <br />Centipede of light <br />Rusty metal domes <br />The road still roams <br />I’ve run out of might...<br /><br />Farshid Rezaee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-road-9/
