let me sink in deep<br>
fight me another night</p>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The yellow Star</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">as its spotlight</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">water dances</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a fervent tango,</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he battles</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">piercing through its pace</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he waits, and waits more</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">at a corner by the current</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">like a tiger for his prey</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">ever ready,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">drumming of the waves</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">penetrate his eardrums,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">music at a distance</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">people dance to it</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a celebration</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he is not bothered,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">sun-rays reflect</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">a magma ball</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he doesn't flinch,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">at the slightest nibble</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">he pulls with might</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">and sees the salsa</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">of the fish.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This is a poem I wrote a long time ago for my blog, but never had the time to publish it... it is probably the longest poem on my blog, so please bear with me.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">oh, and one more thing as of this month, my blog is officially one year old :)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the sun bathed us</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">with flaming spears</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">as we stood soaked</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">in the knee high lake,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">trees swayed joyously</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">clouds gathered air</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">crystal water blushed</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">as i held you in my arms.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">but, you left my side</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">under cloak of darkness,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">clouds fervently wept</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">heavens split and showed</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">your footprints in the mud,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">now i sit in the dark</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">on the battered floor</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">where we once danced,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">as the cold wind</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">stabs my tearful heart,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">lake now a crystal</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">devoid of sparkle,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">the sun hides itself</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">behind grey hair,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">pearls nesting my love</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">turn to diamonds</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">as white petals tango</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">their way to cold earth</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i see a shadow</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">tear through the mist,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">you make your way</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">into my warm embrace</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">eyes melt, yours and mine,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">my hands interlock</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">never to let go again,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">i love the snow</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">for it returned</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">my warmth.</span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">dead echoes of the night</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">still linger in empty halls,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">my skin aflame under the fan</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">but mind in cool mountains</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">of Murree, where hand in hand</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">we heard our shouts fly back</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">as white petals danced down</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Small Explanation</b> - "In Despair" describes the emotion of a person torn apart by worrying for the world. In this world there are many nations, and each have their own problems, some places people of color are shunned(out-casted), while in other places mass murders occur, and if problems of large scale were not enough, the person also worries about the general vices a person faces like betrayal, injustice, murder(for wealth), etc.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is a fact that the world as a whole is definitely going downhill. He feels there is no place where peace exists ("nowhere peaceful to go"). All the person can do is helplessly watch the world in despair.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think yes, because time froze,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I set my eyes upon thee,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That meeting, God surely chose,</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Final paper, in my hand,</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I leave on God the rest,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That in mind, the test, I take,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I promise myself that my,</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Relentlessly, my heart beats fast,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Is it a phobia?,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This feeling, I get gazing upon you,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, its euphoria,</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One, single, look,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To read my emotions,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am an open book,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep you happy, I shall, everlastingly, you bet,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Forever and ever,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please be my shining star, in this dark sky,</span><br />

<br />
By myself I stand, in a distant place,<br />
People pass me by,<br />
Apathetic, no hello or hi,<br />
I gaze all around, no familiar face,<br />
<br />
<br />
This is not, the land, created by my forefathers,<br />
Different, it is in every view,<br />
Not similar, even the scent of dew,<br />
My loneliness fueled by the absence of my brothers,<br />
<br />
Yet i stay, for academic enlightenment,<br />
I channel my loneliness,<br />
To fuel my academic prowess,<br />
Patiently awaiting academic judgement,<br />
<br />
