Dark Matter

The perfumed air

Filled with dark matter

The feeling of the winter rain

And the absence of color

Tempting, breath taking

fragile and protected

A flower so blue

Just like the heart

Numb, sad; yet beating

The Lantern

"Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark."

A Bulb

Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb,

a lovely garden in a seed,

and a giant oak in an acorn.

While I see ,

A spark

A smooth flicker

A moment to remember

A high surge of light which reveals path to those who wish to see...

While i spread the darkness;

trying to gulp the light of this eminent source.

A gleaming orb,

crafted from glass smother

than the broken heart

which wishes to illuminate me...

But after all,

it's me...

Who waits, sighs,

and forgets...

Light it up

Why don't you just light it up and forget the rest ?

Murder Scene

I know, what it means to be alive,

I won't give in, no matter how hard it tries

But this is a murder scene...

A scene where I burn,

burn in your memories,

burn in your love,

burn while having the desire to hold you...

This is a murder scene,

created by me indeed...

a scene containing

flame

burn

and ashes

of us...

It's Cold

It's cold isn't it?

We think about ourselves while holding hot cup of coffee that how cold it is getting, we tuck our children in blankets and quilt at night telling them to keep themselves warm; we put heaters on while wearing thick socks just to remain cozy in our comfortable houses.

But do we remember the people who live outdoors under the wide sky made by God? Do we consider helping them out in any way possible? Do we think that people who live in slumps, sleep on floor, walk around naked feet what happens to them? If not THEN THINK and DO something about IT.

Dark rose (existence)

The dark rose that will never bloom a cold heart;

Cruel world, cruel people and a dark rose;

Look what I have done to my life;

Made it a place,

where colors and life doesn't matter,

all what matters is EXISTENCE...

Put me on fire

This is nothing but a nightmare,

This pain just doesn't fade away,

Why I still can not see clear,

Why it feels like, I ain't ever coming back.

Look at what you all did to me,

Putting me on fire,

Satisfying your desire,

Burning every bit of me.

Yet I survived,

Now put me on fire again,

Burn my existence,

my soul,

burn till my heart beat,

stop beating,

stop singing,

stop remembering,

what it meant to live.

Come put me on fire,

as I give my self up,

to burn, like a savage.

So many flashbacks,

ain't that a bitch,

So just allow me

to close my eyes

as you all put me on fire...

Music; May be my light!

In my darkest hours,

The times which I love the most,

I play it, I let it beat.

Letting my heart call out my self

from the depth of solitude,

I relish my self,

as Music,

May be my light,

which brings me to life.

La Fontaine Ardente

The winter fire,
Give rise to my desire,
Causing ecstatic pain,
which only raises flame.

Yet I sit in front of
This Pure Burning Fountain
nothing but to profane

Silhouette an end

I hear them whispering in my dreams
The angles of death calling me
I see their message engraved in my soul
A calling of the light towards the unending darkness

Not a word spoken,
Nor a story told,
Darkness a word,
Silhouette an end...

Groove

Groove as the lights begin to dim

Groove as the music starts to pour

Groove as the spots turn red

Groove as the beats take over

Groove while the lights flood the floor

filling the empty space with their flourescent glow...

...Let yourself go, and just Groove...

Night Rain (Day 3 of 30)

Rain never helps on any night, but it probably won't be as much of a hindrance in Ramadan. People are just raring to get out... For aftari, for dinner and many for tarawiyaan...

It's a beautiful sight to see rain drops on your car or all around; it sort of refreshes you after going through the fast all day rain can be a bliss for many... at least it is for me

Crumpled page

An aspiring professional liar of truths—myself;

A fledgling poet—sits as the light dims

Thoughts flickering

Like flowers growing in proximity,

Perhaps like weeds that choked the other's light.

Why so serious?

Why so gloomy?

A question which light asks;

Why everything so deep?

And why is everyone into it?

Lighten up a bit...

The blue light would soon fade,

Rise up your chin,

To pride

To love

To hate..

Why so many thoughts?

Why so many words?

Why so many reasons?

Does all this give security?

Does all this make it right?

So many words so many feelings,

and yes so much crap!!

None of it is real

None of it brings joy.

The lines are flat upon the crumpled page,

The darkness is arising...

Light is fading...

As I write

I loose the demons in my head,

Delaying them,

Just letting the light take over,

Me and my existence...

Cigarette Ashes

Clock, ticking down the moments
Time a delayed bomb
Cigarette my timer
Time a reoccuring dream

Abandonded Minds
Spoiled Lives
Hard Road
Empty Feelings
Smashed Souls
Ashes fall

Smoking lingering on the red-hot ash
Mingling with my mind
The sweet scent of tobacco
Burning
Ticking
My secret timer

Watching the ashes fall
Or maybe it was my world.

The Prominent Green

To be with you in these explosions

To be with you in the time of crisis

To be with you in these disasters

Is not a decision which is forced upon me

It is what I desire, I choose

To see this PROMINENT GREEN standing out its color

To see the prominent green in front of my eyes

To see our country, our flag and its colors stand out

Stand out even in the time of darkness....

Be proud, Be a true Pakistani

Cerulean Twilight

I'm lying here, oh so peaceful.....
..... In serene harmony
I¹m dreaming yet I feel awake
I¹m dreaming yet I am awake
Subjected to pain. Dark screams repent
And in a foreboding rage, a soul will die.....
..... a soul will die
My mind is burning, I¹m burning
I can't feel you anymore
Have I reached my point ?
Will I drown in delusion ?
The winds fell silent
And in my cerulean twilight
I left myself once again
..... it's overwhelming
Suffer yourself, and let me die here awhile

Burnt Pleasure

Slowly burning, as I inhale

Smoke softly entering my lungs

Cold, sweet, intoxicating my soul

This delicious torture writhing

Whilst my blood within me burns with anguish

Relentless and unchecked

Coal and the flavor burning

These sensations unforgiving

For me time is at a stand...

If this is living

Previous, I’d not been living

Through every single puff

Releasing boiling tension

My pleasures are unabridged

That I at times forget to mention

Oh smoke, do you intend to kill me?

Well, it -is- worth dying for

No, not the sheesha but yes the pleasure

These waves are rolling through me

And I’m always wanting more

I’m at the edge of being perished

In a tide so celestial

Like a dream, it besieges away

As I lay infront of this burnt pleasure
