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.

In the End.
Always the same...
No matter what we acheive in life or what we possess etc etc efc.  After death the grave remains the same

But for me  ...
Its always the same ...
No Matter what I do ....
In the End Everything  
Remains  the same.

In a Far away Desert
She made a Sand Castle.
Hard Work Finally Paid.
Then came the men with their horses
Broke everything  with great force.
She lost everything and cried.
Built the Sand Castle again.
Then came other men with their horses.
Broke everything again with great force.
She lost everything once again and cried.
But Built the Sand Castle again.
She would Build and They would break.
This has been going on  for so long.
The Sand Castle now remains
Waiting for the Horses and its Men.

Came out of my Shell.
Explored and Enjoyed.
Played along for a while.
BackStabbed and Hurt.
Unhappy and Sad.
Going back into my Shell.
The Journery of an Introvert and a nonsocial person wishing to change. He does what it takes to change himself but cannot fight Destiny. Maybe it was better for him to be what he was. Now he has accepted this fact and going back to what he was.   But at least he Tried and it was worth an effort.

Cant live without her.
Shes mine.
Waiting for the Sign.

Shes in my Mind.
Shes in my Soul
Complete and Whole.

Cant live without her.  
Shes mine.
Waiting for the Sign.

Her Silence is killing me.
Afraid to even ask
For I may loose her for ever.

Cant live  without her.
Shes mine.  
Waiting for the Sign.

Entrapped  within a single body,
living together in an uneasy harmony.

One dissipates Slow and Steady.
The other dominates, depending on the place, time, or money.  


Eventually, one must win and the others loose.  
When that moment arrives, they all leave
with or without a warning.

Yet, this is not an end, but a continuation. The cycle persists, repeating over millions of years.

The same souls, returning again and again.  Inhabiting different bodies, continuing their eternal journey.
Aslam M Apr 2024
In the endless maze, trapped, alone,
Lost forever, a silent groan.
Then, a figure, a guiding star,
Showing the way, near and far.

Endless thanks, to him we send,
Till eternity, our gratitude won't end.
Yet few recall, in memory's net,
The one who saved, lest we forget.

Forgotten by most, in the shadow's fold,
Trapped forever, in stories untold.
But in our hearts, the memory stays,
Of the special one, in eternal praise.

Never Ending Heavy Storm.
Hope it would End One Day…
Remained where I was …
Others Ran Away.
The Storm Remained.
They Survived.
I died.

For a while.
When will this one ?

The Drums at the Back Stage
With only one Drum Stick.  

The Delicate Keys of the Piano
Patiently waiting to be Played.  

The Lonely Violin  at one corner.
As the Bow is lost somewhere.  

The Guitar is at the other corner
Watching the Old Trumpet far away.

The Lazy Fiddle trying hard to sleep
The  Celtic Harp is just about to weep.

Enter that Handsome Composer
That Beautiful Symphony Begins.

In a fierce thunderstorm,
you’re bound to get wet—
so why blame the umbrella?
Sometimes, even our best defenses can’t shield us completely from life’s storms. Instead of looking to cast blame, we might find peace in accepting that some challenges are inevitable. It’s not about avoiding every raindrop but learning to weather them with grace.

The Time has come
Yet we do not see it
As we are so engrossed
In our own world.

They bleed and Cry.
Beg for food.
Yet no one sees.
As if they are Blind.  

The least one cam do
Is to have an empathy
For these victims of War
East to West.
North to South.
Aslam M Aug 2019
And then there are times.
When you are all Alone.
Absolutely Alone.
Aslam M Dec 2020
Blinded and Intoxicated
Deaf and Ignorant
Board that Luxurious Train
Unaware of the Masses Pain
Stopped by the Few who Dare
Still they hardly Care.
Their Journey Begins
With No Destination No End
Stuck now they are in that Train
Screaming loudly for Help
Dissolving in the Ambience

Sometimes ...
The Branches of the Tree Fall.
But never hurt the Tree itself.
Humans still need to learn this.

Trunk full of Scars
Shedding her Leaves.

Lonely on the shelf it stayed,  
Old and dusty, cracks displayed.  
Untouched until a hand did pry,  
And in its grasp, it broke to die.

The vision of your words can read through my core...
My naked existence sighted,
Just not deep thru yet.....

Wrap me in your words give me refuge in your insane creations. ....
Veil my exposure, becloud in your  sphere of phrase. ...

Let the meaning give soul to the expression of me.....
And that would be you recreate me. ....

In a realm of nails and walls,  
Where hammers echo their calls,  
One last nail, by fate ordained,  
Misses its mark, the hand is pained.  

The nail, innocent in its stance,  
The wall claims victim in the dance,  
The hammer, guided, seeks no blame,  
While the hand, wounded, shares its pain.  

Amidst the chorus of guilt and plea,  
In this realm of responsibility,  
It's the wall that bears the weight,  
For in the end, it seals its fate.  

In the tapestry of fault and strife,  
The wall alone carries the price,  
For in this tale of nail and hand,  
The wall, in silence, takes its stand.
Aslam M Mar 2019
So proud of its  Shape.
The Color and the Make.
Except for the Drain.  

Hidden and Blocked.  
And was so glad.
Not realising that Water
would soon fill up.

Full and Heavy
It overflowed
Cracks all over
It Finally Broke.

Green Garden with a Sump.
Had this old Water Pump.
The Garden Needs Water.
The Pump Needs Power.
One Day  during a Blackout.
The Garden Cried.
The Pump Nearly Died.

In its Own Mighty Complex Web.

You can enter
Reach the Centre
Delighted at First
Quench your Thirst
Peaceful and Calm
The world on your  Palm.
Then comes the Sadness
Alone and Loneliness
Unbearable Pain
Making you Insane.
Then you Curse
Wish you could Reverse
The End is Near
Caught infinitely here.

The whistle blows, all hear the sound,  
But no one moves, they stand around.  
A call to act, yet none will rise,  
And silence falls as time slips by.

LThe world, a prison vast and wide,
Where restless souls are locked inside.
A gilded cage for just a few,
But chains and darkness for the crew.

Stress and hunger stain the air,
Poverty whispers in despair.
Silent cries of slavery’s weight,
Some rebel, but meet the same fate.

A few break free, or so they say,
Yet find new walls along the way.
Only the rare with patient breath,
Embrace the sentence until death.

For they await, with hearts at peace,
The higher realm where chains release.

Hundreds of them..
Echos of Silence.

Some have names.
While others are lost…

Few are remembered
Rest are forgotten.

Not one is worried.
Memories Buried.

What a fool I was
Searching for Water
In the Hot Hot Desert
Whereas had all along
A Magical Water Bottle
With Unlimited Supply
Aslam M Sep 2018
I wonder about my Thirst..
which does not quench.  
It becomes extremely difficult
when I am holding a full glass of water.
But cannot even take a sip from it.

Yeh pyaas kaisee hai. Jau bhujti hi nahi.

Magaar ussai hautai tak bhi nahi laga saktai hai.

At times there is no one
except your own self
Whom you can talk to.  

At times you are all alone
Left by all your so called Friends
Virtually and Physically.  

At times you are faced with
Stiff competition by those
Who had worked with you.

At times you just feel helpless
Depressed and Un Wanted.

These are the Phase of Life
for which gives you oneslef
a new persepective to Life

Waiting for the Next Phase......
The Next Phase of Life

No one knows where to go....
Stuck for a while.

And most of them due to humans.

To gain  something.
