Sand Castles
Aslam M Oct 2020
Sand Castles Built by
Blood , Tears and Sweat
cannot be broken easily.

Many have tried in the Past.
Many will in the Future.
The Castle may have cracks
Intact it will Remain.

For those who attempt
to destroy my Castle.
Seek some other Castles
built by treachery, cheating and fraud.

Attempt by you  
Will be futile for sure.

Sand Castles Built by
Blood , Tears and Sweat
cannot be broken easily.
Family Business built by Hard work , Sincerity  and Pain cannot be destroyed by External or Internal Personals.  In the last 5 Decades many have tried and have remained unsuccessful and will be also in the future.

Waiting ....
Aslam M Feb 2020
Some Live and Some Die
Some Smile and Some Cry.
When will his time come.
Waiting Waiting Yet Again...
Hospitals are the worst places to be and especially the ICCUs.  Been here for almost 2 weeks.

Hospitals
Aslam M Jan 2020
Its the last place anyone wants to be.
Some much of Pain No one can see.
Sad Faces Everywhere.
Some with Hope  Some without.
Some Cry Some Smile.
Some Live Some Die

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.

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.

Waiting
Aslam M Jan 2024
In the realm of endless waiting,
Where talent endlessly flaunts,
A symphony of yearning souls,
A dance of dreams in endless taunts.

Few cross the threshold, fate in their stride,
To the other side where glory resides.
Fame whispers promises, a tempting song,
A journey awaited, though arduously long.

Yet, the others stand in helpless gaze,
Watching dreams like distant haze.
Talents showcased, a silent plea,
Wandering when their time will be.

Patience, a virtue, some endure,
While others surrender, dreams unsure.
Daily battles, relentless they fight,
Some strive for dawn, some embrace the night.

Their talent, a double-edged sword,
A gift and curse in one accord.
To perform, day by day,
In the wait for their moment's ray.

A stage awaits, the spotlight keen,
For those who persist, remain unseen.
In the rhythm of life's silent sound,
They wait to be found, dreams unbound.

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.

Empty
Aslam M Jul 2024
As empty as I am now,
Nothing exists but me.
No dreams, no purpose found,
Just wandering aimlessly.

How can emptiness be so vast,
A chasm deep and wide?
Can't even feel this void,
As if it tries to hide.

Body and soul entwined,
A shadow and a ghost.
Waiting for a whisper,
From something once known most.

In the stillness of the night,
A riddle yet untold.
Seeking hidden answers,
To make this heart a home.

Unsolvable Problems.
Escape Inevitable
Tired of Breaking Free.

The Guide
Aslam M Aug 2020
Infinite Paths.
Some Lit Some Dark.
Some Long Some Short.
Confusion Prevails

Books can be Referred
But a Guide is still needed.
Someone chosen by the Author.
Someone chosen by the Writer.
Someone chosen by the Messenger.

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?

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.

Dark Clouds Everywhere.
Some Here and Some There.
Thunder Sounds Everywhere.
Blinding Lights Here and There.

Water and Water Everywhere.
Some here and Some There.
Accumulated Everywhere.
Pure there and Impure There.
Water is pure when it falls. Depending where it falls makes it pure or impure.  Similarly we have Knowledge which is acquired.  Depends on whose acquiring it making it work for good or bad.

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.

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.

Pipes here and there.

Nothing Much to Say.

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 End —
