For the love of God
Javaria Waseem Mar 2015
All the great men talk about the wrath of God
but only a few dare to mention His love.

For Shikarpur
Javaria Waseem Jan 2015
They were kneeling in front of Him to ask for forgiveness.
He liked their prayers so much that He took them straight to heaven.

My world.

Under those cold sheets
I mapped my whole world

Death of a writer.
Javaria Waseem Mar 2015
The day I picked up this pen to
write down my tragedy
was the day I died
inside.

The Art Gallery.
Javaria Waseem Sep 2014
He was a piece of abstract art
And she was in love with complicated colors.

You'll never win.
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
I remember that fire burning in my bones
as you spit those words on my face
and turned your back on me.
My heart ripped out of my chest
and cursed you for turning into a monster
as I stood there trying to breath.
I still get goosebumps thinking of when
you leaned and whispered to my heart,
"Don't worry fool, you'll fall and get hurt again."

Since that day, I have wasted every second
trying to prove you wrong.
for this time I can't let you win.

You can't forget me.
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
How many marks will you cover to forget my existence?
My love, I've branded you with scars that are a part of your soul.
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
I have so many stories to tell to the world yet I have so little time. My whole life may be spent but it won't be enough for me to pour out the tales I have known.
Maybe if someday I die, you can come and sit by my grave and listen to all those untold tales.
Life or death cannot contain my words. I was born to spill words into this world and I will always do that. Always.
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
When I was a kid, I use to slide on the curve of the moon
and play hide and seek with the stars.
The moon got replaced by the empty bottles of wine
while the stars became the strangers in the back seat of my car.

Last Night.
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
Last night before going to bed, I wrote my diary and wished upon every star in the sky to help me decide what to do.
Last night I had a dream and I swear the face that I saw was no one else but you.

Perfection
Javaria Waseem Jan 2015
I wrap myself around
in this ***** bed sheet as I
try to be a part of
a perfect family picture.
This is how it goes  
every one taught me
that you're supposed to just smile
pretending to be happy.
Totally random words penned down without making any amendments to it.

Tubes of paint
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
Perfectly packed tubes of paint cannot create any art
Until they are torn and messed up, like a broken heart.

Oh Madam Honk,
I was thinking about you last night
and how you taught me things
about this life.
I miss you more than those lesson that
you gave me as a gift
Now I know that
I was wrong and you were right.

The War.
Javaria Waseem Feb 2015
Maybe when this is all over
and the children will sleep peacefully at night,
we'll sit around the burning fire that
would be made out of  the bones of the dead
and sing the love songs underneath the open sky
as a tribute to those who have left.

For a dead friend.
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
When I fell in love, I lost my identity. I forgot my name, I forgot myself. Every time I looked at the reflection in the mirror, I saw all those marks on my skin where you had kissed. They formed a map that can be traced easily back to a hidden treasure; you.
And that's how I kept you alive, even when you had died.

It's hell, darling.
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
I felt like the first day in a new school. Strangers surrounded me as I walked in the halls of that unfamiliar place. At one side, I saw girls in groups, applying make up on their rotten faces. On the other side, there were guys who were scratching their skins to remove the burnt marks of kisses.
I shivered to see that sight. Everyone around me looked so ugly. Some of them had curse words tattooed on their foreheads while some were tortured badly.
At the end of the hallway, I entered a room. I coughed as I felt smoke rising inside.
"Where am I?" I managed to ask between all the coughing. My body turned numb when I heard a whisper, "It's hell, darling."

The realization
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
He took out old pictures of her, one by one
Stared at them for hours, going through every detail.
Her deep dark brown eyes looking at him
And the silky waterfall of hair she had, took his breath away
Her delicate little hands, how much he loved them
And those soft lips that were a gateway to his heaven.

He sighed, putting the pictures back in the old trunk
He realized she was long gone now, never to return.
A dream he never wanted to be true.
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
I want to get high with a stranger
and spill out my deepest secrets
to him as I make him
fall in love with me.
The stars and the moon that witnessed
our love will now see
how I leave everything behind
and turn my life
into a tragedy.

The heart of an infant
Javaria Waseem Mar 2015
You're not born with any religion
But
a pure heart
that only holds
a place
for
God.

Death
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
I never found death to be sad and heart breaking. Death is beautiful.
What sad and heart breaking is the good bye that leads to death faced daily.

Our heart is His home
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
For Him, the pillars of these limited buildings could never be enough
That's why He chose to live inside a place as colossal as a human's heart.
Rule 3

You can study God through everything and everyone in the universe, because God is not confined in a mosque, synagogue or church. But if you are still in need of knowing where exactly His abode is, there is only one place to look for him: in the heart of a true lover.

Your shadow
Javaria Waseem Dec 2014
He asked me,
"Did you love anyone as much as you loved me?"

I whispered,
"Just your shadow and the memories."

Javaria Waseem Sep 2014
The tiles of my room are familiar with my tears.

Even in darkness they know I am crying for you.

Drunken Lover
Javaria Waseem Aug 2014
I lost the track of time long ago,
Drunken, I just whirl in Your addiction.
O' my Love, do You not see me?
I am drowning deep in oblivion.

These people call me a crazy wanderer.
They do not know about the hunger of love.
I've traveled and seen and felt You everywhere.
For I've escaped the deception of this world.

Our journey will end soon, my friend
And the Magician's every trick will turn into dust.
Except the hearts of true men who understood
Where they belonged and who they really were.

The light
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
Sometimes all we need to do is to wander off
to a place of our own
in our twisted and dark thoughts.
Just to see the light in our life
that we seem to ignore
and cry about.

The True Tale
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
When she picked the pen up, she created wonders that left him awestruck.
She made the whole universe dance around her words.
And unknowingly she exchanged all his darkness with her soul.

One of the dead.
Javaria Waseem Feb 2015
In the graveyard of the forgotten,
I see the dead rising up
With their faces burned and full of scars.
Their eyes turn hollow when they see some life
But I see them looking at me as the child of the dark.
They sit around the burning bones and sing
the songs of the unheard souls.
They sing and dance and celebrate
the life that they never lived
as they curse the great pearl for
changing the course of their stars.

Dark and dead.
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
When the darkness took over everything, people hid inside their houses but her.
She faced the darkness and witnessed the dead, until she turned into both; dark and dead.

Death of a poet
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
They mourned over her death
saying that this world lost a gem.
While the soil celebrated and welcomed her
as she made the Earth more poetic
than it ever was before.

Fear

He was scared of dying and she was scared of living
Together they found love in the state of oblivion.

The final flight
Javaria Waseem Aug 2014
Standing on the edge of the highest peak
With my arms stretched out wide
Showing off the beauty of my majestic wings
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

My lips curved into a sly smile
As if laughing at the stupid world
Proud I felt as I raised myself up
Ready for the flight and I jumped.

No pull of gravity or force of friction
Could alter my way back to despair
"See I can fly.", I whispered to the world below
As I dissolved into the particles of the air.
198 · Nov 2014
I am in pieces.
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
I found myself crying for you again
It hurt a bit differently this time
I might forgive you someday for breaking me
But I am sure my Lord will never do the same.

Nothing is to enter again.
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
I wanted to sleep but the words kept me up.
They entered my mind and tried travelling to my heart
But before they could do that, I spilled them out on the paper.
I can't let anyone enter that broken **** again, not even words.

The monster
Javaria Waseem Nov 2014
I stood in front of the mirror but I couldn't recognize the face looking back at me. Those dark eyes, completely black, making holes in my flesh just by looking. The curls falling on her shoulders perfectly. Her face white as a ghost and lips red as blood. The scars on her face, screaming out the tale of her sufferings.
I touched my face and so did she.
"Who are you?", I asked her in confusion.
The reflection smiled and leaned in as if coming out of the mirror and whispered, "I am the monster that he turned you into before leaving."

So Young
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
They tell me,
"You are so young to write about this much pain, child."
They don't know
about all the different personalities that I hide inside.

Because your name sure as hell

The Final Dance.
Javaria Waseem Sep 2014
The hunter and the prey
danced under the moonlight
so elegantly that they put
the petals of rose to shame.

The dance ended with the last note
And then came the howls
which continued the whole night.

When people will show my picture
And tell you the tale
Of how with a  broken heart,
I finally managed to
Escape to the stars.

"Because I can own you through my words only."

You've lost a friend
Javaria Waseem Aug 2014
When hearts are broken and tears are shed.
When everything is done and everything is said.
When you feel alone and there's no one left.
That's when you know you've lost a friend.

When you can't sleep and you lose your head.
When you are found on the floor instead of the bed.
When you are in misery, neither alive nor dead.
That's when you know you've lost a friend.

When the snake has bitten and the poison is spread.
When all you feel is pain and you turn into a wreck.
When you can't find yourself and you lose the track.
That's when you know you've lost a friend.

There and Then
Javaria Waseem Oct 2014
In the dark dark corner
of our secret little land
We sat side by side
when you turned and leaned in,
planted a soft kiss
in the hollow part of my neck
Then whispered to my heart
"Please don't ever leave me."
There and then,
I promised
making the stars as the witness
as you marked me yours
that I'll never leave.

— The End —
