you are 1,398.42 miles away
Not too far, but still not that near
I long for your tight hugs as we sleep
I long for you sweet kisses in the morning
I miss looking into your brown eyes while daydreaming of the day that we’ll walk towards forever, together

You are 1,398.42 miles away
Not too far, but still not that near
8 days, maybe a short time for some
But my heart is aching, my heart can no longer wait for you to come back
It feels like I am waiting for an important mail from the postmaster
It feels like I am waiting for Christmas day


You are 1,398.42 miles away
Not too far, but still not that near
How many sheeps do I need to count before you I see your face again?
I can’t wait, I just can’t any longer
But I know for a fact that you my darling , you’re worth the wait

i am crying out loud
it falls on deaf ears
my pain is avowed
but only death hears

air is just a cloud
which my breath fears
my end is my shroud
created by less cares

this agony is endowed
tested by my best years
only silence is allowed
where only death hears

(A big thank you to all the ones who have ever read my words)

I once had a friend
Her beauty very rivetting,
Her eyes like the moon beam
Her nose ETHEREAL
her voice like a Serenade
She loved everything beautiful and
Mysterious
She was drawn to mystery
Her name MUNA
mine LUNA

And so we planned
Planned how we would live our lives
She wanted to be a medical doctor
To save the world
I on the other hand was not
Sure who I wanted to be.
She told me she would save the world
From pain
From strife
From evil
She was always ready
Always vibrant
Always steadfast
Always innocent
The light shined on her
And she glittered at night

But then
The Cloud gave way
And the light that paraded her beauty
Began to fade
The air that loved her vanished
And a wicked aura came
The beautiful cloud took an hiatus
And a strange eerie sky took charge
Her world began sinking in the dark
And the doors of joy shut against her
A stranger came to her
And overwhelmed her with burning darkness
He held her and dragged her
He dragged her into the night
She wanted to run
But he was too dark to be outweighed
He was too strong
Too carlous
As he took her away
Into his monstrous world
I began searching for her
But couldn't find her
I searched through the dark valley
But all amounted nothing

Muna was precious
And always smiling
She had plans
She had ambitions
She loved life
She loved God
She wanted to be loved
But this monstrous stranger
Hit her
He bit her and took away all her innocence in the most callous way
He tortured her and took her by force
All her dreams he swallowed
All her glory he vanished
Stabbing her with the knife of frustration
He became her God
And one day when she tried to run
He caught her
And burnt her with pain
Her body became his dustbin
And he was in charge

And after shattering her
After breaking her will
After destroying her zeal
After swallowing her dreams
After using her to mop the floor
He left her bare

My friend Muna
I saw her
My friend was worse than a shadow
My friend became a fleabag
My friend had been broken
Killed and buried
Even though alive
I asked my friend
Why have you become so pale?
She smiled and dropped me a note?
Which read

It was BEAUTY
MY BEAUTY
IT WAS BEAUTY THAT BETRAYED ME
The grace of my smile
The smoothness of my skin
The firmness of my *******
The sweetness within my thighs
My BEAUTY BETRAYED ME
AND SOLD ME OUT
And now I am a crushed flower
A crushed flower that will never bloom or rise again
A flower that will die slowly
All because
My beauty sold me out
I never wished to be beautiful
I never wished to be *****
BUT LIFE HAS BETRAYED ME
AND So LUNA MY FRIEND?
UNTIL WE MEET TO PART NO MORE

GOODBYE MY FRIEND.

As I dropped the note
I looked around but couldn't find her
My Friend Muna
Has gone away
For she had been crushed without measures
By a Man like you
A man just like you reading this POEM
HOW MANY MUNA'S HAVE YOU CRUSHED?

As i sit and write this sad tale, I cannot help but CURSE all Men who have crushed so many Muna's out there.....

BUT WITH TEARS IN MY EYES I ASK THIS LAST QUESTION,
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE DID MY FRIEND GO?

In the rain,
I look so insane,
Waiting for the train,
There's nothing to gain,
Nothing valuable to obtain,
Only more and more pain,
But I just can't refrain,
I'm tied to a chain,
Chest pain.

Growing up..one of my favourite hobbies was reading the newspaper..i absolutely loved reading it..politics,sports,finanicial markets,entertainment,cartoons,crosswords....a wide array of items to choose from...however now i just dread reading it...what's the point?...all i read is depressing news...some lunatic who doesn't know and absolutely doesn't understand anything about religion spreads hate and terror in the name of religion...some women somewhere gets killed coz she refused to give in to the lustful desires of a man..someone is shot coz  of his skin colour...someone sports a beard and wears a skullcap..so the automatic assumption is that he has got to be a terrorist...someone who is seen as a huge sports icon and a role model later turns out to be a big time doper and a cheat...i mean what kind of world are we living in?...whom do we trust?...for all we know our next door neighbour could be a criminal...hell i don't even have no faith in the police...over the past year or so the events that have been taking place around the world has deeply saddened me..the world is just going from worse to worst...and it pains me even more to see lunatics distort the teachings of Islam just to fulfill their evil desires.A true Muslim..a God-fearing Muslim will never indulge in any acts of violence..I am a Muslim and i have friends from all religions.During christmas i go out with my friends...i sometimes also go to churches.Islam has always preached tolerance and those who are doing the opposite don't know anything about Islam.One of the basic teachings of Islam states that he who kills one innocent person it is as if he has killed entire humanity and he who helps one person in need it is as if he has helped entire humanity. I strongly condemn every act of terror wherever it takes place.This kind of barbarism is simply unacceptable.May Almighty offer strength to the families of the victims of terror attacks and bless entire humanity with peace.

You filled my heart with hatred at a time when all I wanted was a smile

You delivered sermons preaching love while behind your back was a knife

You planted a seed of trust but neglected it's roots and let it shrivel

I thought you composed such beautiful music until it was revealed as plagiarism and I used to hum along to your promises and now they haunt me still

You've ruined things I once loved and tore down homes I built with my bare hands, my blood and sweat soaked into the boards only to be lifted by your fire

You've ruined my sense of trust, the one thing I actually possessed that meant something, the one thing that gave me hope in this cold dark world

And you do not care.

And you never did.

And you never will.

And I never want you to.

I can't find a metaphor
To illustrate the happenings -
The death that demolished my hope,
A tornado of things darkly in my mind.

All in a moment when CNN broadcast
The latest mass killings,
Inside my bones the weightless dust
Lifts off my body like ash.
I sit in a bar,
No I sit in a chair with these flaring
Interminable news,
I miss the silences,
A formidable peace followed
By a singular moment when I
Can enjoy myself against
The flaunting horrors of the world.

Is it designed this way?
Death with a volley of dark stories,
I want to stop fidgeting and ignore
The tears, the sadness,
Oh the maddening crowds!!

I drink to my disgust,
I drink a concoction of inner peace,
And I smile and ask myself,
Is there any joy in tragedy?

Today was a day
A day like any other
I came across an old picture today
Her and I
The days we shared, the love we had
Today is a day,I still find myself not over you Our love would not last, try but fail
Today is a day, a day that must pass
I ask why today
The memories come back
Where would we be today if our love had not failed.
I will not know.
For today is just a day.
