Nostalgia
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
I like black color and paper boats, elderly people, old homes, month of November, broken dreams, sad stories and deep silence after them...

I like my childhood, honest friends, my bag and old pen, recess at school, old playground and games that time has played with us...

I like the food cooked by my grandmother, cups of tea, pet parrots and the cat, mischievous things which were easy to be forgiven by everyone...

My hometown and its old railway station, the whispered voice, your laughter, storytellers, folklores and true characters hidden in them...

I like these yellow leaves decorating old trees, snowflakes, my old diaries, your old letters, my old scarf, small babies, poetry books and rhymes in them...

The old sky and stars which used to come to see you shining, rainy season, the cold Beijing and its winter nights, Tsinghua Campus... I love them all...
Tsinghua Campus refers to the Tsinghua University Beijing China where I am currently residing.

Put me in Your Eyes
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
Put my numb soul with some love
in a jar of imagination
and poke some holes in the lid
so hopes may breathe

Or when you catch fireflies
hold me in your fist as well
and keep watching
if we are still lightning


Or put me in your eyes with eyeliner
so I may stay close to your dreams
and see myself
if I am there or not

This Will Happen Tonight
Ammar Younas Dec 2018
To whom this moon is navigating tonight?
You are so shining and radiating tonight

My soul is dancing in rhythm of dim light
Songs of your bangles are agitating tonight

Grandma told me to wish to a falling star
I wished long ago but still awaiting tonight

It was your gravity which kept me encircling
I'm not in my orbit and deviating tonight

How many sleeps your thoughts have spoiled yet
Nights are awakening and aggregating tonight

Earth, air, water, fire seem to be disturbed now
All our horoscopes are escalating tonight

Will our stars be matching in next life?
Astrologists are meeting and estimating tonight

I had requested some place in her heart
I heard, she agreed and allocating tonight

Social Contract Theory
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
In the State of mind...
thoughts were solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short...
where similes, metaphors and  personifications were quarreling with words...
until they decided to form a poem and gave up their natural freedom
in order to obtain the benefits of embroidering praise around her.

Book is luxury
Hungry stomach doesn't care
Politics or Law
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
Anxiety tried to swallow me
for eternity
in the blackhole of your absence...

Depression tried to freeze me
in the dark matter of your memories...

And stress of over-analysing these complexities of our relation,
was trying to just disappear me
in galaxies of disappointment...

This collision of me with me was going to turn me into start dust...

Luckily,
I started feeling the gravity of those,
light of whose sunshine faces
warms the planet of my heart...

I realised that...
You are too small to revolve in my solar system...
My universe deserves glistening moons and a brighter sun...

Untitled
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
I can play with words but not with heart, like you...
Everyone prefer to stay away from the people, smart like you...

You deserve to be painted in a masterpiece on my heart...
So no one should dare to touch an art like you...

I hope someday, you will come this way...
I did not burn the bridge when depart, like you...

My heart and mind seem to be in love...
I am learning to keep them apart, like you...

You will win the competition among disloyals...
Since i am not taking in it a part like you...
Written in Ghazal format.

Beyond Your Fantasy
Ammar Younas Dec 2018
Beyond your imagination is a fairyland
That kingdom which you've never seen
Let us run to that land of love
Of which you will be the sole queen

Beyond your dreams is garden of heaven
Where sunshine will fall only at you
We'll float  in your internal galaxies
You'll be the reflecting drop of dew

Beyond your thoughts is unknown me
Who day by day is becoming monk
Writing his poems in praise of you
Presenting his soul chunk by chunk

Use a Dagger
Ammar Younas Dec 2018
Storm in my heart will rise slowly
As you are gazing in my eyes slowly

Birds and clouds are dancing for you
Look above you at skies slowly

Mind wants to remove your memories
It often tries but it tries slowly

Use a dagger but don't ignore
Ignoring is how one dies slowly

You don't reply to messages anymore
This baby waits and sighs slowly

You left and took all butterflies
That garden is there and cries slowly

If you are brave just shout it loud
Why are you saying goodbyes slowly?

Haiku about Ashima
Ammar Younas Dec 2018
Heart of gold of yours 
It is dead so is useless 
so what if you have?
In the heart of the Stone Forest, a remarkable limestone formation about 60 kilometers from Kunming, Yunaan Province of China is a very special stone called the Ashima stone.  Legend has it that this stone was once a beautiful woman named Ashima, which literally translates as “more precious than gold”.

Rivals
Ammar Younas Oct 2018
I did friendship with cool breeze
Because it passed from my window
From her window
Because it understood my mood
And comforted me
When my heart was broken
And I needed someone
Because I couldn’t find a better messenger than it
So
I did friendship with breeze
But I didn’t know
Breeze is my rival in love
I saw it playing with her hair
It broke my trust
Never do friendship with cool breeze

Let's Suppose
Ammar Younas Jan 2019
Let's suppose, our luck is choosing and
we have no option to choose...
Let's suppose, you are cold breeze
which passes through my hair and
disappears as soon as I try to feel the chill...
Let's suppose, you are a pleasing scent
of rainfall on dry soil which vanishes
as soon as I try to inhale this sensation...
Let's suppose, you are sun and I am moon
and we keep playing hide and seek...
Let's suppose, you are the height of sky and I have wings.
I try to fly till you but can't reach...
Let's suppose, both of us are two shores of sea
which never meet...
Let's suppose, we are not what we are supposing...
Let's suppose, we have choice and we are choosing...

Ghazal
Ammar Younas Dec 2018
If you love, I will adore more than this
If you ignore, I will ignore more than this

She says, you have to suffer more
is there anymore, more than this?

These are eyes which can cry
Heart is sore more than this

The tree under which we used to sit
was green before, more than this

She has a doubt that I don't love
I can't be sure more than this

She asked while salting my wounds
"Are you happy or more than this?"

I am scared, your mom may come
Please close the door more than this

Time is bad which plays games
You always score, more than this

You are amazing as you are now
and on dancefloor,more than this

Refugee Kids
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
Children of desperate refugees somewhere
Looking for love, affection and care
Along unfair boarders of rich lands
I felt their pain holding my breath
Running towards mountains, drowning in seas
Escaping from hunger and fleeing from death

Words do injustice with thoughts
They spin my thoughts in circles...
Mystics like me are few
and limit of my thoughts is you...
This is God's Will
Silent and Still
Mind should stay numb
but Soul Chill...
I cannot catch up with anything
since Everything is whirling...
electrons in atoms
stars in the galaxies
and me around You...

Good Bye
Ammar Younas Dec 2018
You were a book and I was a reader
Look!
I read
Until bleed...
Then I decided to change the chapter
Uff...Your Character!
Finally, I moved to another book
to explore new themes...
But my dreams!


You were Sun and I was Saturn
Look!
I revolved
Until dissolved...
Then I decided to change the orbit
Uff...Your Target!
Finally, I changed the sky
to fly high...
But a Sigh!

O the mighty god of sleep

Room is what laughs at me
Night asks, "Where is she?"

A Ghazal
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
When dances and shake later
She becomes a quake later

Allow me to hold your heart 
Give now and take later

I'm putting my trust in you
keep now and break later

Oh! These relationships 
are fun but ache later

She is floating in my eyes
which became a lake later

All our early memories
are becoming opaque later 

Night itself said to me
Sleep now, awake later

Which I thought her real face
Appeared to be fake later

Dove like my girlfriends
All became snake later

You want now to discuss her?
No! Please! For sake, later
I tried to write it in the form of a Ghazal

A Ghazal
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
Going to leave you behind now
I need to clear my mind now

Your hair, bangles or smile
Nothing will keep me bind now

Despair has advised me
not to love you blind now

Devils and angels, fire and ice
will never be combined now

After driving me crazy enough
You need to be fined now

It's more than skin and curves
Beauty should be defined now

I walked through this dark eclipse
My stars seems to be aligned now

Thoughts were scattered stardust
These poems have enshrined now

Classroom Politics
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
He sits behind her everyday
and stares at her a lot
He thinks it's well and fine
But actually it is not

He waits for her when she is late
and worries beyond belief
When she comes, he looks at her
and gets a soothing relief

He speaks a lot in class
but keep his tone so dim
And pretends to be gentle and calm
Because she listens to him

He scribbles something on it
His notebook is chaotic
This is time and class is place
Where he is most poetic

He thinks of her and just of her
Coz else is just a blur
Class becomes a garden in heaven
where everyone sings of her

Ammar Younas Nov 2018
Where are you?
Please come out in East Garden
so your heat may melt
the freez in Tsinghua...

Where are you?
Hey! light up
Look! stars have come to see you...

Night is cold, sharp and silent... Beautiful like your eyes...
I was looking the moon
in the glass of Tsinghua Lake...
Lotus is asking me,
"Where is she?"
Where are you?  

All preparations are complete...
Like a sacred ritual...
Words are standing in front of me
in a queue for auditions...
I want to release this burden of my heart on a paper...
My emotions have started begging me to save them in rhymes...
Where is moon?
It was crying your name right now...

Forget it!

Where are you?

Come!
before dark thoughts start filling my mind...
I am standing here
waiting to see you...
In a try to solve your mysteries in my poem...
Tsinghua refers to the Tsinghua University Beijing China Campus which is the most beautiful campus comprised of gardens and a lake.

My heart is a baby
Ammar Younas Nov 2018
My heart is a baby
which often yells and cry
It only becomes silent
when pick you up it high
And when it feels down
Your smile makes it fly

My heart goes crazy
It's just a baby

Pain itself wanted an enriching experience
Wounds themselves are getting stitching experience

You are a shame on the name of true love
You are such a ******* experience

I will not fall in your trap this  time
I have already a ditching experience

Let her tattoo my name on her arm
Let her suffer with itching experience

Hey! Stop looking deep in her eyes
She has magic and witching experience

I was the fire and she was the ice
Then we had some switching experience

How it feels when you are in pain
May you get such twitching experience

Layer of fear around you
smog has surround you

I thought I am lost
Until I found you

Dear queen of the night
Moon has crowned you

Fly together with me
or people will ground you

Run free from my love
Who has bound you?

Swim across my soul
If I have drowned you

Every scar is a poem
Let someone wound you

She was good at applying tactics
I was bad in lying tactics

Lonely, ignored and rejected
He must try now crying tactics

She can scan my heart and mind
God has gift her spying tactics

Dreams insisted to see her again
I did not use my denying tactics

She sold her grief in price of love
I knew nothing about buying tactics

She is innocent but my rivals
are good at her supplying tactics

I could bring her moon and stars
If I knew those flying tactics

She wanted to know how much I love
I kept on playing my shying tactics

Eyes are calm when soul is thrilled
They have learnt such drying tactics

While

Glue the broken mirror
