Trinkets

Metropolis
of diamonds, silver,
Sparkling gold
Shiny dwellings,
flashy carriages
Nothing old
Life, love, lust,
All on sale
All being sold
Lies are fashion
Truth was never
ever told
Hold and hold
breath
till you depart

Not for sale

Keep your gold, silver,
Shiny stones
Villas, palaces,
elephant bones
Mere dust of
my arid land
More precious
than everything
you own

Price of beauty

How much?
Depending who is asking
What you wear
Where you from
If from my kinship
Then it won’t cost much
A foe won’t have it for gold
for a smile it is sold
to the beautiful dame

Relic

My empire is vast
Is going to last
for centuries to come
Said the mighty King
a few summers back
All is gone
since his death
Now there is a
Unnamed broken
tombstone
and a
Majestically adorned
golden throne
in a place unknown!!

Worth

Posted on the wall
In earth’s biggest mall
exploited to the core
each shop, in every store
Beauty, what we have done to you!!!

Suffocation

Lost in the city
where camels glitter
diamonds on taps,
gold in litter
flutters in gutters,
Rich and poor
contrasting fates
soul suffocates
before long

Ballerina

The sweet smell of my rose
in a red ballerina dress
pirouette grace
perfect stance
in her stride
my heart just divides
in thousand singing
sparrows, admiring
her beauty, that soul
unmoal (انمول) 🙂
