Vafa Batool
On a tree trunk, sat a little boy,
Thinking of life, thinking of the world.
His thoughts drifted to a world faraway
Where virtues fell as rain
And hearts spoke when words failed
A land so pure that knew no deceit
Where dwelled the righteous of men
A realm where the ruler and the ruled stood together
A gate of abundant glee opened its way
And a stream of goodness cascaded across
A land protected by valiant sentinels,
Flowing pastures that brewed loyalty
A land that shall remain only in the heart of that little boy,
Who sat on a tree trunk, thinking about life.

"I am yours." he whispered as he kissed me to prove
But her taste on his lips told a more bitter truth.

And when the storm came
I crashed into myself
like the ocean waves.

She was just another tragedy
that everybody stayed away from
yet everybody loved to read.

They ask me,
"What is love to you, young one?"
I cringe as I whisper,
"A fear from which I run."

Under those cold sheets
I mapped my whole world
on his skin.

"You don't play fair."
"I know I don't.
Neither does life. Or death.
Or anything that's beyond it or was before it."
