Beyond the stars

Beyond the stars lie worlds many more,
yet to be taken are love exams many more;
Empty of life aren't these environs,
hundreds of caravans there are still many more;
Be contended not in the  manner of the world,
gardens and nests there are many more.
If lost be a nest,why should you worry?
sighs' and lamentations' stations there are still more!
   
     An eagle you are, your task is to fly,
     in your front exists skiesmany more;
     Don't get bogged down in just the present period,
     because your times and stations are many more.
     The days are gone I alone in the world,
     my confidents here now are many more.

  A beautiful poem by an amazing poet Allam Iqbal. I completly fell in love with this poet when I first read this poem and it made me hungry for more. Simple words yet deep and vast meaning. simply marvellous!

Lethe

Give me the drink of the fluid ,that disintegrates,
And lend me the sweet balm and blessing
of forgetfulness, empty and strong
Lethe,oh! Lethe
    Hold me near, unravel the stars,
    as I speed through the heavens,
    speed through the night
    For you are my blade and my rope
    you are my, you are my Lethe,
    you are my all
In currents of cobalt
you strom through my heart,
to severe to puncture
the memories that burn
let sweep through arteries
in sharp stabs of pain
You talon-like fingers to kill me again
    Steal me, invate me and charge me again
    for I burn and I shudder
    burn with each movement of
    so, cleansed through a floodlight
    I appear, renewed and reforged
    Caressed by the sweet balm and blessing
    of forgetfulness, empty and strong
    Lethe
Hold me near, my only friend and guide
As I drown through your fingers
drown through your love
for you are the life that I hate
you are my,you are my,
    Drag me down, in passionate sighs
    with the ocean above me
    and flames in my eyes,
   And grant me a life I can live without
   take me away, take me away
From the life that I hate.

 Every time I listen to this song millions of known-unknown feelings bubbles up in my mind makin my heart all haavy and my eyes all damp trying to control those feelings from surfacing out.
This is an amazing song by 'Dark Tranquility'. And I bet that metal fans go crazy about this song.First time i heard it,the poetic lyric and blasting blend of music made me absolutely speechless and i had lots of gooesbumps too. Some says it is about obsession over pure love and some claims it is about addiction over cocain...and I say whatever it is about I share the same obsession and I got completely addicted to it.Hope you like it.
