A sedation that leaves only thirst for more
a desire unsaid of love and wreck
a mixture of two odds
sinful, yet irresistible

A bond of two
sensationally and physically tied
strengthened by a charismatic bond
so involved, so intimate

A journey to depths
in a state of euphoria
existing in a place like utopia
where there's only passion for more and more

A craving for you to come close
a relentless yearn of not letting go
such little time but such long distances
leaving behind everything and going faraway

A feeling of emptiness on the skin
tears involuntarily stream down touching the corners of the lips
'tis the last time in a long time that we meet
'twas the departing of the lips that silently whispered, 'Until next time'!
Impatiently waiting for your return </3

What is it about you that's so captivating?
What is it about the way you smile that leaves me breathless?
What is it about your touch that makes me numb?

It could be the way you talk, the way you play with your words that touches my soul,
It could be the way you beam that attractive smile or laugh, when I talk ludicrous,
It could be the magnetism in your touch that leaves me marked all over,

What is it about your eyes that sinks me into their depth?
What is it about that laugh that gives me goosebumps?
What is it about the way you brush your hands through your hair that excites me?

It could be the sparkle in the way you look at me that makes me fall more in love with you,
It could be that when you laugh at my idiocy I know that you notice me and listen to what I say,
The reason could be that this happens in my presence, whenever you look at me you brush your hands through your hair.

I lurked in the darkness of my sorrow
under an incandescent lamp
i sat sequestered from the rest of the world,

In the corner stood a bewitching monster trying hard to frighten me
terrorized, i lifted my hand in a short prayer
the figure in the distance had instantly become a mere speck,

The wind outside blew hard petrifying me
the shrill sound of the windows and the shadow of the branches
I lifted my hands and once again it all stopped,

It was my faith in Allah
and my trust in his prayers that strengthened me
vanishing all evil away from me!

The problem was not us,
The problem was not what the society said,
The problem was in you,

You had immensely broke me,
Not once, not twice,
You broke me many times reduntantly,

You always said it's us against all,
You always deluded me with thoughts of forever,
You said you loved me yet your actions never showed,

All you ever did was lie to me,
Your deceit scarred me,
You were gone.

People come and go,
Some vicious and monstrous,
Some convivial and angelic,

I've met people with split personalities,
People who empower their envious nature by destroying others lives,
People who's abhor over-rules them and vandalizes their humanity,

I've met people with a generous spirit,
People with an engaging smile and a heart of gold,
People with a captivating soul that seeks others and plunges them forward in helping,

Seven billion people in this world, mixed;
Some ghastly, some delightful,
And you came in and took my breath away.

Ghazal
Every time you'll set your pen
To begin a poetic rendezvous,
You'll see it'll never be the same as yesterday,
For your poetry will change with you

Every day is a different breath,
Every breath holds a different sigh,
Every sigh holds a different feeling,
Of infinite kinds of lows and highs

And infinite ways there are, you'll see,
Of putting to words your heart beats,
Every creation will mould itself, closer
And closer to your fluid entity

Of course, there'll be times when the words
Will appear to have forever gone away,
But don't fill yourself with doubts then,
For your heart and your mind are still at play

And when you'll least expect it to,
Your poetry will dutifully return,
With little surprises and anecdotes
It collected while on vacation

Don't be amazed then, when the ink rolls out
To find some wonders and marvels brand new,
For your poetry will change with you,
And, your poetry will change you.
