Wake me up
when I am screaming
in my nightmare.
Night is long and my life is short.
Wake me up
when I am silent
in my grave.
Wake me up

Night is long and my life is short.
Wake me up

So true.

Thank you! That is one of my favorite poems too. I like gothic poetry, therefore mostly my poems are dark.

Well I can see why you love it. Well dark themes are nice, they have a certain luring capacity in them I believe. Where as happiness is transient, so is our attraction to such themes, I believe

Sad feelings make us more human. Happiness is selfish. But tha is my opinion. So many people suffer in this world while another are laughing. Okay. That’s life. Nothing is perfect.

So true..
But, I believe sadness sometimes can also be drastically selfish. I wish I could express it in words but I can’t maybe in verse form I will try soon to explain that perspective.

Yes , some people like to suffer. They are masochists.

True that but I meant it in a totally different sense… I will let you know about it when I write a post on it. Hopefully soon.

I will wait. But please write it in English, not Punjabi! Punjabi is very complicated for my brazilian brain! hahahaha

Hahaha trust me when I say its difficult for me as well to write and read in Punjabi. But my next posts will surely be in English…

To write in another language is very complicated. I know it! My first poem in English took me two months! And it is very short:

Portuguese. The greatest poet from my country is Carlos Drummond de Andrade, but my favorite is Augusto dos Anjos. He is a gothic poet and published only one book!

Khalidasa wrote in Sanskrit, right? I have a book of him, but it is a translation to English.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge on the poets widely recognised even. But yes, I googled him and came to know he was one of the best known Indian sanskrit writers

Vi estas brava poeto. Ĉi tiu ne devas esti via lasta poeziaĵo. La nokto estas malhela, foje eĉ timiga sed ne forgesu ke la suno leviĝos kiel ĉiam. La vivo estas bela. Anstataŭ rigardi internen rigardu eksternen. La vivo kaj la tuta mondo estas mirindaj. Lernu rigardi ĉirkaŭen: https://www.facebook.com/groups/192148274220958/permalink/1067030830066027/

Tio estas nur unu poezajxo, ne mia vivo. Mi sxatas tristan poezion kaj poetojn kiel Edgar Allan Poe kaj Charles Baudelaire. Ili skribadis pri noktoj kaj malhelaj pensoj. Tio estas arto kaj kelka maniero de arto estas bela.
