In the memory of you
Zainab Aug 2018
A river of endless tears
I swim through everyday

Your memories flow down,
the sorrowed eyes
my silent cries,
as they whisper
''I miss you dad''

Happiness slowly swayed away
since the day you went your way

your love was strange
yet beyond compare

In my heart,
you will remain forever
even if we are apart
let it be wherever

A blessing I had
my beloved dad
I miss you.

Grieving
Zainab Jan 2019
The ray of your memories
Still shines,
Though your presence
my heart mines.

The pain,
Unbearable
Your role,
Irreplaceable.

A thousand apologies
Left untold,
All the regrets
A burden hard to hold.

The ocean of grief
Gulping me in slowly
Oh, how I wish your life wasn't so brief
Without you, it's darkened wholly..

Sorrows around
Zainab Dec 2018
I can't feel that bliss,
of peace
As the day goes by,
hope departs
Myself breaks apart
Melancholy is an intimate friend
Shattered heart,
which none can mend

Aggravating desolation
Absolute imperfection
Soliciting for serenity
Are these sorrows here for eternity?

Solitude expounds me
Infinite glooms surround me
Desires for splendid happiness
Grim reality manifests utter darkness

Friendship
Zainab Apr 2019
A feel of a sister
I never had
And to have you,
I'm glad

Your words,
saltiness at times, they drip
The deeper meaning behind,
the friendliness within doesn't slip


The laughs we have shared
the joy in it,
satisfaction lies
in every bit

haven't known you for long
but, they say friendship is like a planted flower,
ready to bloom each hour

A unique soul you are
with numerous colors,
Bittersweet,
and that's what makes you, you

The symphony within
your friendship
a soothing therapy,
and a feel of sincerity

On the road of this alliance,
Bridges do come along
The ups and downs,
are a part of it's science

Though Fellowship,
a sweet which never turns bitter
and that's what makes yours and mine utter

Achromic
Zainab Aug 2018
As the blackened-achromic night
fends off the sun's bright
The advent of inquietude
emptiness beholds
the very chambers of heart

The vile hug of gloam
So hefty,
Like a clench of lion's claw
be it's grip

The conflagurations of angst
Hopes perish
Despairs flourish
A soul dimmin'
The demise within

Positivity within hardships
Zainab Oct 2018
As hardships intrude
and darkness knocks,
The door of the heart

The candle of hope
flickers to it's last
The Glee
Withers away

Optimism, pessimism?
As the mind questions
In haze

The agony,
agonizing
The darkness,
inevitable

Yet,
Reselience and prayers
Lightens the candle,
of hope

From sunrise to sunset
Zainab Oct 2019
A sunrise beckoned me
In contrast, to flee
An invitation earnestly endorsed
for lengthened had I lingered
a bona fide friend
lucidity it had painted
and a landscape captivating
Drop by drop,
had I rendered sightless

Bestowed with priceless emotions
deluged you, with
intentions distilled,
truly were
for you did capture them
at the rise

The once limpid scenery,
opaque, visionised today
the yellow smudged
a sunset to betide

A panic swelled within,
a grave slip-up implemented
for I strived to ameliorate it
Albiet,
Versimilitude solicited distance

I failed to proffer you with,
as the intent, stainless
and a heart devout
remorse, shall lie etched

for the landscape
entailed not remedy
though,
the desire for your understanding
was all I stipulated

Is there hope?
Zainab Mar 2019
Shimmering stars
Optimism
Each twinkle pours

Though,
The flames of pain
Sears Each vein

The battle within
Each chamber of the heart
Tiresome

The sight of the glistening moon
Shining in serenity
Not bothersome of the darkness

Though,
Mind's bewildered
The voices of hope muffled

The murk sings its lullaby
Each spark of light succumbs
to an eternal sleep

After each darkened night
The sun rises
With its lofty stares

Though,
Morn or eve
differs no more

Voyage
Zainab Oct 2019
The steps arose,
a base there was
the muddle of screes
For it was a landscape
Vacant,
Of trees
Gingerly I paced
a cliff that laced
a path destined,
Told, I was
For a few sunrises
and sunsets
Firmed to the locus
stood there, I had.
By degrees
the cliff
obsecured my view
the bewilderment I could not rub
Mayhap, myself scrutinized it far deep
I thought.
the cliff,
for unyielding it depicted
percepting apprehensions, of own
promising it portrayed
Afresh, the climb excecuted
Little by little,
embarked the escarpment
it was still,
dormant
so I too, adjourned
It spoke to me
for footsteps,
no longer scraped
"W'rry not, I shall holdeth thee"
and,
reverberations
igniting the specks of fragility
for I queried myself
if this voyage is my to ascend

Anger
Zainab Oct 2019
The poison within the body
Enemy to heart
The engravement on senses
the caller to insanity
and the irritant to sane

Slithers like a snake in the blood
When emitted by the ignorant
dominates the mind, blinder of sight
A fire amongst others

Conflagrations that dangle
dazzled
Possessing, decieveing
the owner
until over
Hatred
The cessation worst than..
All concluded

The ferocious of predators
Feeding on flesh
it's own
The inexorable reel
as it lurches
as it swallows
Now the eyes of the grieving

A mountain casting out its snow
till it's reduced, to naught
No moment, to untie itself
from shakes of own

Till none left,
Due to
a mistake
a regret
That's the way it ends

Faded
Zainab Aug 2018
The glittering stars,
enchant me
a stir of hope
tint of forlorn dissipates

Tiny sparks fading
darkness;
retrieving strength

Black sky,
Heart-aching emotions
unfortunate waves of doom,
gulping me in

Dazzling day light
heartened faces
laces of dusk,
still tangles me in

The desolated soul
for a shoulder it longs
but,
to none it belongs

Friend
Zainab Jul 2019
A ruby like rose,
glistening in the golden sun

Your friendship,
as sweet,
as the nectar
within the most colorful flowers

Affection,
an emotion so pure
Every word of yours
evinces

Understanding, you are
A virtue truly
blessed with,
Not many

Kindness,
A gesture,
You exhibit
So perfectly

Within each act of yours,
A melody of love, tenderness and care
Plays
With such delicacy

and so,

the deeper I discover,
the beauty
Within your soul
uncovers
