Poems forever

Death

By W.B.Yeats

Nor dread nor hope attend

A dying animal;

A man awaits his end

Dreading and hoping all;

Many times he died,

Many times rose again.

A great man in his pride

Confronting murderous men

Casts derision upon

Supersession of breath;

He knows death to the bone

Man has created death.

 

// E N - E Q U A L I T Y //

By Haseeb Sultan

tell me

who’s rich     

and    

who’s poor.

I’ll tell 

you

          I        

just don’t care.

 

Stars

By Madiha Viquar

Stars,

My only companions in lonely nights,

Twinkling,

Shining,

Glistening,

Glittering,

Flecking the skies.

Appearing to me like beams of hope

Amidst the darkness and chaos.

Encouraging me to start a new life

Every new day

Despite my ceaseless falls.

Not rebuking me for the chances missed or the time lost.

But,

Just standing by me,

Loyal and faithful.

Stars,

My only companions in lonely nights.

Senseless

By Sohaib Arshid

I inhale my sins every day,

Like marijuana in the night,

So I can sense what I can do,

When I don’t see the right

I blow the candles that light,

My room like winter mornings,

So I can sense the darkness,

And all its sudden warnings

I cut my wings that help,

Me fly the bluish skies,

So I can sense how to walk,

Among the human cries,

That’s why I don’t talk to you,

For days with restless sighs,

So you can sense the love,

Between you and me

Bliss

By Mehma Kunwar

Carving the world’s happiness

Upon my soul

I dance higher towards the sky

Just as the jealous pain shows up

In my heart

I dance higher towards the sky

No greed for the stars, no desire for the moon

In the darkness that prevails

I’ll be the light that shines.

When the clouds wrap me

And the wind blinds the eyes

I’ll be the light that shines.

Alone, I conquer my wishes

Throned on the magic whorls

Of bliss

Solely held by God

As I dance higher towards the sky

I’ll be the only light that shines

Thoughts

By Zainab Imran

Yellow leaves

numb hands

Cold blood

And remains of birds everywhere

Silent night

long roads

a girl walking

with nothing

but

unbearable weight of

THOUGHTS!

Walking alone

and silently!

Hiding from people

in search of what?

Reflecting and thinking!

with a will To Write

as if it’s the least     

she could do..

for herself...
