Transcending

honour, bravery,
character, chivalry
transcends time
weaknesses inherent
poor excuses apparent
in deeds’ absence

emotions circle
worries encircle,
affections square
touches required,

passion lexicon,

missing lube,
life sans shape,

Concrete oasis burning

Humans worse than
animals at the gates
murdering anyone who
they see against their fates
hands are blackened
by the blood they spill
eyes red, heavens
nightmares their heads fill
without looking at faces
who they kill, they kill
innocent screams in fear,
ignored by savages with no ears

This was written after a terrorist attack in Karachi in June 2014, a city I am fond of and have amazing memories. The photos are from Jinnah international airport which was targeted and many innocent people were killed, all terrorists are dead as well.

Existence

Happiness could do us a favour
Instead it burns in flames
Whatever we have done to ourselves
Emotions stare, hide in shame
Pride look at us in disdain
There is no one else to blame
A simple smile is enough of a proof
Existence we can claim
But don’t. Torture is required
Assassinations, murder is required
Screams, nightmares,
Obscene materialistic
Hallucinations are required
When will we learn!

Brief encounter

Just few moments
seeing each other passing by
questioning past wondered why
we left it all unsaid

I see you

I see you
fear in my eyes
tell you a story
I get enticed
I will be so sorry
chain around my neck
belt around my neck
worse then a slave
You want me to dance
jump and romance
for few brass pennies
In captivity
my soul dies
and a joker is born
To entertain many

Pink’s departing words

when it left flowers, lips, palms of young hands
giving in, giving up to blood red, it said
that is the colour humanity deserves
