MY LAST WORDS TO YOU.

Oh breeze, so metaphorical and free,

Carry my plea, oh hear my plea.

By the sea, she stands alone,

Amidst the vast expanse unknown.

Her gaze fixed on the distant shore,

Yearning for what lies in store.

Consonance sings a sweet serenade,

Last love letter on dreams we laid.

Enjambment, a bridge of words,

For emotions to flow like birds,

From line to line, without a pause,

A journey through poetic laws.

Echo undying, Verse to verse,

Forever ringing, No need to rehearse.

Each step I take, draws me near,

A path of stones, guiding clear.

Her heart's shore, fearless and clear.

Words adorned with symbols so fine,

Red roses, passion that will forever shine.

A river of heartfelt desire,

The quill's ink flows with fire.

Words spill out in endless streams,

A poet's heart, a writer's dreams.

Love, a testament so true,

Consuming all like fire do.

The poet's pearl, my last words to you.

Do you hear the walls bleed

Aadil Ghulam Bhat Poet and Author Do you hear the walls bleed at night? Do you hear them weep in whispered wails, In midnight murmurs no man dares read, Their tired tales tucked beneath paint— Beneath the smog of propaganda? I have seen the silence scream. I have seen laughter die in daylight. I have seen light snuffed by sorrow, By eyes too tired to wonder. I have seen. I have seen— Pillows swallowing sobs like mourners, Doors that forgot the art of welcome, Ceilings sagging under secrets, Windows blinking away the bullets, As though war were only weather. The walls—they flinch in fright. They remember what we bury. They remember how bullets bloom, How joy jolts and dies on entry, How peace parades in camouflage. They wear wounds beneath wallpaper, Tremble in the tapestries of time. I asked the door, “How many left Barefoot, shadows stretched past dawn?” It did not answer—but it groaned. Every crack is a confession. Every nail, a narrative unnamed. Even the bricks wear qui...

In conversation with Tagore

Aadil Ghulam Bhat Poet & Author. (Where the mind is without fear A nd the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;) ~ Rabindranath Tagore O h dear Tagore! the lament of the written words—this sacred art, Once a medium for profound contemplation, it has now been diminished to the triviality of emails and text messages. I can’t help, but imagine how you might have navigated this digital chaos.Perhaps you would have found yourself calling as an Instagram poet, crafting pithy 280-character gems of wisdom into condensed, bite-sized pieces perfectly suited for the fleeting attention spans of scrolling fingers. Your insightful reflections on the human condition would likely be drowned in a sea of hashtags like #LiteraryNoble and #nobleforlikes, lost amid an endless parade of selfies a...

The Misandry

Aadil Ghulam Bhat Poet and Author I see them in the streets, Hands raised not in harmony but in war, Calling it freedom— Yet binding themselves to old chains in new forms, Waving banners stitched with borrowed words. The voices rise, shrill and sharp, But the echo returns hollow. What is it they seek? Not balance, not equality— But a throne made of the ashes of men, Proclaiming it justice, as if vengeance wears a crown. Feminism—once a flame in the dark, Clear as the dawn, with purpose stark, Now chanted by those who wield it high, Not as a torch, but as a sword. They cut down all who dare stand, For how dare a man share the air they breathe? Do they know what they destroy? The bridge they set aflame Leads back to the same barren land, Where hatred wears the mask of liberation, And the chains—so polished, so proud— Are worn by choice, dressed in slogans. And I— I am but a quiet voice in the crowd, Speaking of shadows and illusions. But truth, forgotten, lingers in the dust O...
