Bridge to hell

Crossed through
heaven’s toll
Perplexed look by
hell’s troll
Purpose, visiting,
staying, alone
Burning hot lava,
on my own
Freewill granted,
afterlife fine
someone pushed
an angel or divine
explained reason,
to watch an old pal
burn in hell,
see the mighty fall
on the earth, king of all
desired to be worshipped,
summer or fall
maimed, tortured,
killed, quite a few
Life was short
he had no clue
now it is time
to pay his due

Purpose of life

It is so hot, and I wear a coat
attend all guests, clean the moat
smile in front, frown in the shade
could you imagine the life I had
day in, day out, clock tick tocks
Luck sits up a tree, jeers and mocks
old age coming soon, nothing to boast
none will remember, this chubby friendly host

Turnstile

Each moment

Numerous arrival, departures

Sapiens and ants, similar

Names, traces of been here

Before, now, afterwards

Life, death, disease,

Sorrow, jubilation,

deep, shallow

Contraptions, contradictions

such is the daily rush

Brain is mush, and

time just passes

without regard to

wasted youth

blasted truth

how did I get here

Singapore – hotel balcony and staring into a staircase

neon lights
day in nights
City declaring
end of dark rites
find your purpose
written on the billboard
gold coins in dozens hoard
Eden on earth, party in paradise
limbs deeply sore, blind by the sun rise
looking back at that time, what to take away!

Here are few snaps from my hotel balcony, I also found this staircase amusing 🙂

Acute contradictions in love

Let’s lose ourselves
in those thirst filled eyes
blossoming hearts annihilated
bludgeoned souls mutilated

destinations staring at pathways
where is the missing traveller
heart cries full of hope
rambler’s fortitude is timid

in beloved’s beautiful
treacherous meadow
only flowers are free of
castigated shadows

millions hearts bound in chains
souls have been slain
paradoxical nights sobbing
it is my time for robbing

you from those sadist spells
listen, screaming
loud silence of the universe
heart runs in rage,
and is beloved bound

perhaps today
she will hear the cry
my sinking scream
without a sound

چلو ھم ساتھ کھوتے ہیں
تیرۍ تشنگی پُر آنڪھون پر
دل برباد کھوتے ہیں

منازل راہ تکتی ہیں
کہاں بچھڑا کہاں ڪھویا
امیدیں بھر کے دل رویا
مسافر قدم دل تھام کے رکھ تو
مرے محبوب کی وادی ہے
صرف پھولوں کو آزادی ہے

کروڑوں دل مقید ہیں
بڑے نازوں سے رکھتی ہے
عجب راتیں سسکتی ھیں

کسی دن آکے توڑوں گا
تیرا طلسم نہ چھوڑوں گا
صدایں کائنات کی سن کے
دل ناساز دوڑوں گا

کہ شائد آج کے دن وہ مِری
فریاد ہی سن لے
اور میری ڈوبتی آخر
عدم آواز ہی سن لے

That memory of you

longevity of
some precious moments
which last till eternity
in your memories,

when all else fails,
Thoughts start leaving you,
you still hold onto,
lasting, tasting that feeling,

how soft were those lips,
how eyes smiled,
how we flew in the air,
Stayed there for a while

warmness of temple,
blushing cheeks,
long full eye lashes,
slowly opening bliss

as you hold onto
prolonging, extending
tongue bending
passion sending, kiss

Satan is dead

Darkness without death
wailing, abseiling
into a bottomless pit
dry rotten corpse

alive for thousand year
Soul still inside
feel the crawl of insects
slow eating parasites

their teeth gnawing
softened skull
heart has decayed
arteries full of puss

brain cells blackened
death never arrived
whatever has survived
very much the doubtful

hateful, spite thrived
monster, suffers violently
screams silently
no one to hear,

no one to care
no one to cry
just demons and I
waiting for the day

when oppressed have a say
punishment be found
chained and bound
hell I come

immense welcome
by devil himself
a score to settle
how I dare meddle

take centre stage
in pain and hate
defining demons fate
I smile, and I smirk

make Satan easy work
vanquishing demons king
declaring hell my domain
no one to remain sane

humanity to suffer
intolerable excruciating pain
as I did for eons in
my limbs’ rotten veins
