Unanswered, thrusty heave,
destined; for the desert cleave,
bereft of life.
Blazing sun’s spear returns. Strife!

i bow, I the criminal, I the crime. I know? Nothing is mine...ok...inside these words are unmeasurable thoughts..cheers dear..grace!
Each line has a profound thought. Specially from this line 'The treachery of time, ' to the end i liked it most. Well, what to say? its one of best reads.
'I bow, I the criminal, I the crime. I know? Nothing is mine! ' hey sort of confession Sadaat? , ... i mean even in of my i asked the question to..am i the Hitler or Ceaser? ... ... this is sort of different one indeed.. i liked it.. you v used very powerful words.. 10++... regards shan
I'm a little lost of my way but it was expressed in a proper manner, although I didn't catch the theme of this piece in one read. I presume it's always there only I didn't see it. It could be just at the back of my mind. What I like from this piece is the rhyme, it really fits every line written. The lines were carefully carved into vivid images out from carefully chosen vocabularies. Thanks.
wow, , that was an amazing poem filled by so many feeling wonderfully expressed.. Silently cried. Plunge; oh hooded one! Softly, my ideals are lofty. Lest I cry out in a wrenching shriek. Labeled unworthy, less ardent freak. The treachery of time, ticking somewhere, in realms sublime. Observes, loath, conserves. The blade, wipes! For the coming swipes! I bow, I the criminal, I the crime. I know? Nothing is mine!
You have brilliantly painted time as an enemy and your words are powerful and carefully chosen to have the effect of nothing as the outcome. Great poem! 10 Karin Anderson
Dust in the wind..everything is dust in the wind..what are we but drops of water in an endless sea of nothingness but light..I got it, Saadat. Thanks for sharing. A.
The treachery of time, ticking somewhere, in realms sublime. Observes, loath, conserves. The blade, wipes! For the coming swipes! I bow, I the criminal, I the crime. I know? Nothing is mine! Confession....why should one empty a nestor to feel guilty emptying one's own life...then to call it a mere existence....I think I got that correctly...you tell Saadat...needs more readings...thanks
Wonderful poem Sadaat, i love it. Yes, time is a treacherous enemy and when it catches up with us, we will be and have nothing, such is life and no life. Thank you for sharing with us :)
This is full of striking images, but I feel I am at a disadvantage. Is this about a particular, perhaps famous, person? or is Nestor a common name like we say 'Joe Blow' or 'John Q Public'? Or does it represents a national character like our 'Uncle Sam'? or a name for evil, Like we say 'old Nick' for the devil? there is something missing in my understanding, but there still are the beautiful images: 'Blazing sun’s spear returns. Strife! ... The blade, wipes! For the coming swipes! I bow, I the criminal, I the crime.' Beautiful!
From a void to a deeper void; from one emptiness to another and true to Nestor's NOTHINGNESS! ! !
The treachery of time, ticking somewhere, in realms sublime. Beutiful imagery, great flow, a deep one Saadat, keep it up!
...nestor`s nothingness......... great poem....... coming out as nothingness is impossible......... good write.........
a wonderful poem..excellent way of writing..loved it
The paradox in the last two lines is catchy and ends up the poem well. Good poem, Saadat.10
