Entangled
Aslam M Aug 2024
They lead with certainty, paths well-defined,  
Preach with conviction, in every word aligned.  
They smile, a beacon in the darkest night,  
Guide us gently, towards the distant light.  

Yet shadows linger where their words reside,  
A subtle chill where warmth should abide.  
Is it truth they speak, or am I misled?  
The answers slip through the thoughts in my head.  

Either they're right, steadfast and strong,  
Or it’s my own compass that’s been wrong.  
In this maze of doubt, I'm left to roam,  
Confused and searching, far from home.  

The signs they show, the vibes they lack,  
Leave me questioning the path I track.  
In their gaze, a riddle lies,  
Am I lost, or do they wear a disguise?

Giving Up …

Failures shadow me,
Sunrise whispers, "Try again,"
Hope in each new day.

The Punishment
Aslam M Dec 2020
And then they are times
Maybe Seconds , Minutes or Hours.
Days , Weeks or Years.
You are all alone.
No one to Speak
No one to Listen
Many come and go
Some Stay a while
Some Stay a bit longer
And then go
Expectations may never be fulfilled
But there is still hope
That someone may stay for long.

Why ?
Aslam M Jun 2020
Blamed for Everything.
Ridiculed for the Past
Humiliated for the Name.
Blind when proved Wrong.
Dumb when loose an Argument.
Why ?

So much of Hatred.
So much of Anger.
So much of Frustration.
So Lost in this Illusion.
Why ?

Nearly Brain Washed.
Clean and Dry.
Lost all Reasoning
Its all about their Ego.
Why ?

Mute Spectators to all the Unjust.
Always justifying.
Endless Debates.
Confusion Prevails.
Why ?

Destination.
Aslam M Sep 2020
Same Path..
Different Cars.
Same Destination...
The Observation is of a Typical Highway where many different Car of different Shapes, Sizes and Colors travel from one place to another where the Destination is the same irrespective of the Car.  Is this not a lesson we should also learn and Wake up and Understand that though our beliefs may vary but the Destination is the same.  Hatred towards different beliefs should stop and cease immediately.

The Open Envelope
Aslam M Sep 2023
Do not discard me yet, I plea,
For hidden within, a treasure may be.
A paper of import, forgotten, unseen,
Its secrets and worth, like a hidden dream.

For even the simplest things we may forsake,
Hold magic and wonder, ready to awake.
So do not discard, my dear, don't forget,
The importance it may still hold as yet.

Savage
Aslam M Nov 2023
Many Centuries back they were buried alive.  
Now they are beheaded as soon as they are born.
Its not about who is right or who is wrong.
Its about the savage inside all eacb one of us.
You , Me and All.  
We all either look the other way.  
Or Simply dont care.
Or Justify the actions of either Sides.  

The Truth is that we all have became so emotionless
That no matter what happens in the north , south , east or West.  
We simply dont care unless it happens to us.

The way ahead is not going to be easy for sure.
But deep inside we know whats right or wrong.
But cowards we are not to even feel.

Its better to be now among the dead.
Then to be with these emotionless living beings.

Aslam M Jun 2018
Climbing up the Stairways
Hand on the Handle.

Walking on the corridor
Hand on my Chest

Nearly out of Breath.
We had hardly met

Climbing down the Stairways
Hand on the Handle.
Sometimes we travel so far with great difficulty to meet someone and hardly have time to meet them and eventually need to return.

Passion
Aslam M Oct 2023
Traveled the winding path, so grand,
Mountains first, where nature stands.
Then a smooth road, a tranquil glide,
Crossed a bridge, thoughts intertwined.

Lost in the forest's mystic embrace,
Realized life's illusion, a fleeting chase.
Took shelter in a cave's silent cries,
Discovered endless lies in disguise.

Drenched in rains, my sorrows did drain,
Fell from the bridge, truth and falsehood's bane.
Reached an oasis with roses unfurled,
A journey continues with passion, the world.

Nostalgia
Aslam M Jun 2020
Do not stare at me with those eyes
Paralysing me completely in disguise

The depth of your effect is too deep
Sadness in my heart I  may no longer keep.  

The nostalgic moments returned to haunt
with the sounds of laughter and taunt.

The sarcastic smile now followed me for a while
Wanting me to go forever in exile.  

As you completely ignored  as our eyes met.
Revealed the lies and game you played as yet

Shattered my soul with those words u said.
Putting  me ultimately to eternal rest.

Sweets
Aslam M Apr 2
Stepped into the market,
With the simple intent to buy sweets.
But with my thoughts,
The entire marketplace unfolded before me.
Some were big, some were small,
Some were cheap, some were expensive.
Some had a mild sweetness,
While others were as sweet as honey.
My heart was captivated, my eyes filled with wonder,
Yet I returned empty-handed.

25 Years of Us
Aslam M Jun 18
A quarter century—how time has flown,

Yet in your smile, the same light is shown.

Grace and beauty, ever true,

Just like the day I married you.



We’ve weathered storms, faced skies of grey,

But love has never slipped away.

Side by side, come joy or strife,

You’ve been the anchor of my life.



With two bright souls, our love has grown,

A family we can call our own.

Hand in hand, we’ve crossed the seas,

Chasing sunsets, sharing peace.



Through every year, through every mile,

You’ve been my heart, my reason, my smile.

Here’s to all that still will be—

My love, my life, my destiny.

The Long Path ...
Aslam M Aug 2020
Once again you stare back at me.
Desperation mixed with Silence.
Every Moment is now so Precious
A Single Error may cause Death.

There is a long long way to go
But yet the Path is not even Set.
Deceive me as much as you Can
Forever now I will Withstand.

Loose Ends will now be Discarded.
No more Pleadings. No more Warnings
Once again the path will be Set.
Journey to the Final Destinations Awaits.

Aslam M Apr 2020
So Sturdy you are O Bridge ..

So Strong Against the Storm.

Infinite Loads you can take…

Nothing in Return you Desire

O Bridge – Does it not Tire you

To be the Link between them.

Knowing one Day you will be Burnt

Cut and Bruised in Total

O Bridge O Bridge Be Careful

For those who walk on you dont care.

Helplessness )))
Aslam M Jan 2020
Pipes here and there.
Practically Everywhere.
Monitored Day and Night.
What a dreadful Sight.
I want to go Home
Is all that he Silently Says.
All I can do is Listen Everyday.
But So Helpless I am today.
Nothing Much to Say.
All I can now do is Pray.
