You see the slump in my shoulders
the way I carry myself
the burdens of boulders
that threaten my health.

When you ask what's wrong
I pull up my guard
don't want your pity or sad song
won't tell you why life's hard.

So if you want to know
I'll bottle it inside
wrap up all remains in a black bow
and tell you I'm fine.
Amad Tariq Dec 2019
Leaning back in my chair
The chilly breeze in the air
Window open and the elements rush in
Showing me the change within
I lean forward looking at time
Continues forward, never rewinds
I sit back down and drift into space
Where only me and my memories remain
Amad Tariq Nov 2019
I can’t see you anymore
Not blind, no eyes closed
I can’t see you anymore
Retreated to shadows under the sunset glow
I won’t see you anymore
Taken from my grasp
I won’t feel you anymore
Your warm embrace that didn’t last

I do not think of you with love
No, you are the deadly sin
I think about you and when we touched
Not when we laughed
Lust not love.
To feel your hands dig into my back
Was better than any kiss you ever gave me.
Amad Tariq Sep 2019
you lay upon me
our legs intertwined
as my hands slowly run down your spine
the sharp electric sting I lay deep within the mind
your hands holding mine with our tongues in a bind
neither will know rest but the pleasure of our eyes
an amorous affair to last
till daylight breaks the night
Savor what you can in life but you will come to realize that the taste may linger and temptations roll.
Amad Tariq Sep 2019
Reaching into the abyss
Finding the hammer I forged
Smithed from the remnants of a broken soul
Now recommissioned to rebuild the remains
Forge again my broken heart
I wish to feel that love again
Hammer away to recreate that heart again
