In my life:

I've lost
I've hurt
I've lived
I've loved
I've missed
I've trusted
I've made mistakes
But most of all,  
I've learned

I once read something that got to me
About how extreme confidence,
Is saying what's in your heart without paying mind

With that being undoubtedly true
The first person to come to my mind,
Was a poet
Using this art the poet cries his heart out, expresses his thoughts, without paying mind
You remain the claws from which I dangle-
more than falling, I fear not being held.
Jewels of our country,
Gems of the world,
Every child in their own
differs and holds an astounding talent,
A devastating day on 16 December,
Last year kids were martyred to death,
Victimizing their families and friends,
They will always reside in our hearts,
They will always be our shining stars,
Our countries honor and pride,
Those souls in heaven will shine so ever bright,
Their smiling faces in peace,
Will ease the pain in their mothers heart,
Satisfy their father,
And stand as audacious children for our nation,
You will always be remembered,
And will always own a huge slot in our soul,
Our tears that we shed for you,
Will not be meaningless,
And these tools will help stand against those savages,
Making them pay till the day we all live,
And slay their heads off in terms of decay.
A tribute to the Peshawar attack. It has been one year and still we haven't forgotten you. May your souls rest in peace. Aameen <3
You whispered so close that your breath tickled my lips

"I'm sorry. I get the feeling that you've had to do things on your own. A lot. And I'm sorry that you've been taught to believe that's the way life works. I'm truly sorry. Because you deserved more."

And that kiss you placed on my cheek?
Still burns as if you were next to me right now

Sin
Upon this scorched earth I stand
One life just a man
Looking at the baron waste
The bomb that dropped
Now in haste

No food or water bequeathed to us
Scavengers we have become
And brown and baron greets my eyes
The palet of colours far and wide

No love or companion to guide me on
Left to roam this place
That once was home
Emptiness I feel so strong
Fighting back tears as I move on

Why was the world so greedy
Didn't even have time for the needy
Wealth and treasure's was what counts
Now just dirt and filth amounts

The finger that pressed the big red button
Safe in the knowledge they will be forgotten
Never to answer for the crime
Of killing this world and all mankind
Say my name
Say it gently
Use your words
To caress me
Speak your thoughts
Speak them out loud
Confess your love
Amidst the crowd
Scream your wishes
Scream your dreams
Make your reality
Better than it seems
Whisper your pain
Whisper your fears
Release the tension
Wipe away your tears
Open your mind
Open up wide
Let my love in
Let me inside
Here a little child I stand
Heaving up my either hand;
Cold as paddocks though they be,
Here I lift them up to Thee,
For a benison to fall
On our meat and on us all. Amen.

The last Ray
lingered on horizon,
caressing the sky
as November Sun
whispered his
Last Goodbye !!
