Hatred….
Aslam M Aug 2023
Why so much of hatred … ?
Why are you burning ?
Is it that you hate yourself …
In the Fire you will not only burn others.
But end up burning your self and your loved ones too.
Have you not realised that  Ego needs this desperately.
Especially where there is peace.
So that there is a collective of the one.
Which only goes astray in the process
And ends up burning itself.

Even now there is time.
Let go of the Hatred
My Friend My Brother My Sister.
Let go of the past and
Lets live the moment in peace.
As such there is so little time.

The Path
Aslam M Aug 2023
In life's vast canvas, countless paths await our eager footsteps, each leading to a destination fueled by passion and love. These diverse trails offer both long, meandering routes that mirror the slow, tantalizing exploration of a lover's touch, and short, direct paths that evoke the quickened heartbeat of anticipation.

As we embark on this journey, contrasts abound – some paths cloaked in the mystery of night, whispering secrets in hushed tones, while others bathe in the gentle embrace of dawn, where affectionate gazes linger like morning sunbeams. Our steps traverse varying terrains, akin to the rise and fall of a passionate heart, navigating rocky challenges that amplify our affection, or wandering the smooth lanes of comfort that mirror tender embraces.

Among these pathways, connections flourish. Some routes brim with bustling encounters, like chance meetings that spark the fire of attraction, while others carve out solitary passages, allowing us to savor the intimacy of quiet moments. This journey encompasses a range of emotions, soaring to heights of euphoria and descending to depths of longing, weaving a narrative of love that unfolds with every step.

Through this intricate voyage, we embrace the choices that kindle our passions, crafting a tale of romance. Our path becomes a dance of emotion, inviting us to delve into the depths of connection and devotion. Love's threads weave seamlessly, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, an exquisite journey etched with the strokes of affection and tenderness.

Lost
Aslam M Aug 2023
If I want  to be lost ….
I may as well look in your Eyes….
Search what you are Longing…

If I want to be happy.  
I may as well look at you Smile….
Experience the Joy Together.

If I want to be contended.  
I may as well be just beside you.
And Feel the Aura that radiates from you.

If I want to be excited.
I may as well just listen to you
Visualise your thoughts and be with you.

Muharram
Aslam M Jul 2023
In the sacred realm of time's embrace,
Where Muharram's days find their place,
A journey starts, both mourn and reflect,
In solemn ways, hearts genuflect.

Amidst the echoes of ancient lore,
A tale unfolds, a truth to restore,
Where valor clashed with the oppressor's might,
In the battle's shadows, courage took flight.

A legacy kept, through ages long,
Preserving essence, a sacred song,
From whispered verses to silent scrolls,
The truth endures, as history unfolds.

Yet, some shadows seek to distort,
With veiled lies, they aim to exhort,
Fabrications woven into the fray,
To hide the truth, lead hearts astray.

But steadfast souls stay true and strong,
In the face of change, they right the wrong,
With wisdom gleaned from ancient art,
They guard the essence, they won't depart.

In moments dark, their light will shine,
Upholding sanctity, a sacred sign,
Through trials faced, they'll persevere,
To keep the truth forever near.

And as the cycles of time renew,
In Muharram's days, the story's true,
In hidden verses, hearts shall seek,
The timeless lessons they'll still speak.

Star Trek
Aslam M Jul 2023
In the vast expanse of the universe, where celestial wonders abound, our story takes us to a distant star system, where the principles of Star Trek hold sway. On board the USS Enterprise, the renowned starship commanded by Captain James T. Kirk, an extraordinary adventure unfurls, intersecting with the profound metaphor of the two legs.

As the Enterprise hurtles through the cosmos, its crew encounters a peculiar phenomenon. A spatial anomaly envelops the ship, disrupting its navigation systems and leaving the crew perplexed. In the midst of this cosmic turmoil, the reliable duo of Mr. Spock and Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy find themselves metaphorically representing the two legs of our tale.

Spock, with his logical and measured approach, personifies the left leg. Analytical and precise, he seeks to navigate the path ahead with unwavering determination. Meanwhile, Dr. McCoy embodies the right leg, exuding passion and emotion. He yearns to forge ahead with urgency, believing that swift action is the key to overcoming any obstacle.

As the spatial anomaly intensifies, tensions rise among the crew. Spock's cool-headedness clashes with McCoy's fiery temperament, resulting in a debate that reverberates through the corridors of the starship. Kirk, the wise captain, recognizes the significance of their symbiotic relationship. He understands that without the harmonious coordination of their actions, their journey through the spatial anomaly may be doomed.

Enter the enigmatic alien entity known as Q, who thrives on testing the limits of the crew's resolve. Seizing this moment of discord, Q manipulates the anomaly, amplifying its effects and distorting reality itself. The crew, caught in this maelstrom, begins to lose faith in their ability to conquer the obstacle before them.

However, it is during their darkest hour that the crew unearths the true meaning of their metaphorical legs. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, realizing the folly of their divided perspectives, come together in a profound moment of unity. They understand that the strength of their journey lies not in ******* or compromise, but in synergy.

With newfound purpose, the crew devises a plan to harmonize their efforts, fusing Spock's calculated strategies with McCoy's passionate resolve. As they synchronize their actions, the spatial anomaly begins to yield, unraveling before them like a cosmic tapestry rewoven.

In this triumph of collaboration, the crew rediscovers the essence of the Star Trek ethos—the power of unity, diversity, and the boundless potential that lies in embracing both logic and emotion.

The story of the two legs, as exemplified by Spock and McCoy, becomes an enduring tale aboard the USS Enterprise. It serves as a reminder to future generations of Starfleet officers, as they embark on their own voyages, that cooperation and understanding are the true pillars of exploration.

And so, dear reader, this epic Star Trek odyssey, woven with the threads of metaphor and science fiction, reminds us that in the tapestry of life, it is the dance between opposing forces that truly propels us forward, both in the reaches of the cosmos and within the depths of our own souls.

Cup and Tea
Aslam M Jun 2023
In the realm of tea, a profound analogy emerges, where the tea itself embodies the essence of the soul, while the cup serves as the vessel that houses this precious elixir. Just as the soul defines the very core of a being, it is the tea that holds the true essence, flavor, and character of the experience.

Like the soul, the tea exudes a captivating aroma that dances delicately upon the senses, drawing us in with its alluring fragrance. It is through this aroma that the tea reveals its true nature, enticing us to explore its depths and embark on a journey of taste and enlightenment.

As we take the first sip, the flavors of the tea gently caress our taste buds, awakening dormant sensations and invoking a symphony of taste. Each sip becomes a communion with the soul of the tea, as its unique flavor profile unfurls and captivates our palate. It is in these moments of intimacy that we forge a profound connection with the very essence of the tea itself.

Just as the soul animates the body, the tea animates the cup, infusing it with life and purpose. The cup, a vessel of beauty and elegance, serves as the conduit through which the tea connects with the tangible world. Its form and design may enhance the aesthetic pleasure of the tea-drinking experience, but it is the tea, the soul within, that truly imparts meaning and significance.

While the cup may vary in shape, size, and material, it is ultimately a vessel that carries and presents the tea, much like the body houses the soul. Like the body, the cup provides a tangible form, but its true value lies in its ability to hold and showcase the essence within.

Thus, just as the soul transcends the limitations of the body, the tea transcends the vessel that contains it. It is the tea, with its depth, character, and the journey it takes us on, that truly matters. The cup merely serves as a humble companion, honoring and showcasing the beauty of the tea within.

In the realm of tea appreciation, let us not forget that the true essence lies in the tea itself, much like the soul is the essence of our being. Let us cherish and honor the tea, allowing its soulful flavors to nourish our senses and elevate our spirits, for it is the tea that matters more than the cup.

The Rose Part 2
Aslam M Jun 2023
In a garden full of roses fair,
One rose was plucked with utmost despair.
Yet the beauty of the garden lives on,
Amidst the echoes of battles, fierce and long.

In the realm of war, where innocence bleeds,
Where souls are lost to desolation's deeds,
The analogy we find, though stark and grim,
Reflects the anguish when lights grow dim.

As petals fall and hopes are crushed,
Innocent lives, in wars, are unjustly hushed.
But amidst the chaos, a glimmer remains,
The resilience of hearts, where beauty sustains.
For the garden of life, in its bittersweet array,
Knows tragedy's touch, as colors may fray.

But the essence of humanity, enduring and true,
Shines forth with compassion, in all that we do.

Though shadows cast upon the land,
And sorrow weaves its mournful strand,
The beauty of unity, we must recall,
In healing the wounds, mending the sprawl.
For wars may tear, but hearts can mend,
As empathy and love we extend,
In honoring those we have lost in strife,
We strive for a world free from endless life.

In the garden of roses, a message we glean,
That peace, not violence, is the eternal dream.

May we learn from the darkness that stains our past,
To ensure innocent lives forever shall last.

Fragrance
Aslam M Jun 2023
In the realm of feminine grace, above the lips' gentle sweep,
Reside two portals of sweet breath, secrets they do keep.
Within that tender haven, where scents serenade the air,
A fragrance symphony unfolds, a sensory affair.
Amidst the arches softly curved, whispers of life take flight,
Capturing the world's essence, painting dreams in fragrant light.
Inhaling tales of blooming blooms, the meadows' sweetest sighs,
Her ethereal senses awaken, under ever-changing skies.
They dance with aromatic winds, embracing nature's beauty.
Treasuring each enchanting scent, as memories softly fall.
From the ocean's salty whispers to forests rich and green,
Her senses weave a tapestry, where earthly wonders convene.
Love's floral notes enchant her, igniting flames unseen,
The sweetest essence of passion, where hearts and scents convene.
A gentle zephyr's tender touch, caressing with pure grace,
Whispers of longing and desire, linger upon her face.
Oh, sacred gates of subtle hints, mysteries that lie within,
Your aromatic language speaks, a silent song to begin.
In the realm of womanhood's allure, a fragrant tale takes flight,
Her essence drifts upon the breeze, a symphony of delight.
So let us celebrate these gifts, these portals that enthrall,
The fragrant whispers they unveil, the wonders they recall.
For in those sacred, subtle curves, a woman's essence thrives,
Where scents reveal the hidden truths, where beauty surely resides.

The Rose
Aslam M Jun 2023
Dear  enchantress of beauty,

How could I ever overlook your pulchritude, when your radiance shines so brilliantly? In the garden of existence, your essence blooms with unparalleled allure, captivating all who have the privilege to behold your splendor.

Like a scarlet flame amidst a sea of blossoms, you were a rose of extraordinary allure. Your petals, kissed by the sun's tender caress, exuded an intoxicating charm that enraptured hearts with its vibrant hue. You were a masterpiece of nature, a symbol of grace and elegance that left admirers in awe.

Yet, amidst a tapestry of flowers, each vying for attention, it is not that I failed to notice your captivating presence. Rather, it was the fear of shattering the fragile silence, the hesitation to disturb the delicate balance of your existence. I stood there, spellbound by your ethereal beauty, my heart aflutter, lost in a momentary trance.

Oh, the regrets that now haunt my spirit! I yearn for the chance to embrace your ephemeral grace, to gaze deeply into your eyes and bask in the warmth of your enchanting aura. For in that fleeting moment, I sensed a connection, a cosmic thread that united our souls, transcending mere physicality.

Know this, my ethereal rose, that your pulchritude remains etched within my heart, a vivid memory that refuses to fade. Though our paths may have diverged, and time may have cast its relentless shadow upon our encounter, the memory of your allure lingers as a testament to the marvels of creation.

And so, dear pulchritudinous being, do not mistake my silence for indifference. I was but a humble admirer, captivated by the brilliance that emanated from your essence. For in that encounter, I glimpsed the extraordinary, and it forever left an indelible imprint upon my soul.

With longing and admiration,
A silent witness to your beauty

Not a single tear from my Eye.

Whenever I visit your grave
I always remember what all you gave.
But still  …
Not a single tear from my Eye……

Every moment I remember you.
For all the sacrifices you made.
But still ….
Not a single tear from my Eye….

During the worst phases of my life.
When your own turns against you.
But Still ….
Not a single tear from my Eye

I chose to remain quite
Inspite of all the things I could have done.
But Still …
Not a single tear from my Eye

Some just want to prove

Some want to be unique
To be noticed in a crowd.  

Some just keep quite
Blaming everyone for their plight.

Some just impose.
Either by love or by force.

Some simply dont care
And move on and on.

Some exploit others
For their own gains.

Some just observe
And wonder what is to be done.

Enough is Enough
When this will be end.

The Streets are filled with Pilgrims.
Night and Day….
Near the Tombs…
Some stand Silently.
Some profusely cry.

Outside is another world
Orphans and Widows Beg Everyday.
Cant forget that 4 Year Old Girl
Wearing a Pink Frock.
Came to me and just cried.
All I could hear was only one word.
“ Miskeen “ - Poor.  Help Me Sir.
She was an angel for sure.

I gave whatever  I had that day.
But could never forget that face.

I wonder how many angels are there
Who keep on Begging Every Day.

This is only one girl in one place.  
Imagine how many more are there all over the world.
Maybe Thousands or Millions for sure.

We are fortunate to lead a good life and yet complain.
While those little boys and girls beg everyday
Everyday and Everywhere.

Every day and Every Where. …

Yet not acknowledge the Path

Mock those who try to show them
Preach Nonsense to everyone else.

Close are their Minds so Tight
No Reason will even make it a bit loose.

No matter what happens
Burn they will in their
Ego and Stubbornness
Unaware for Eternity.

Expectations may never be fulfilled
