There are no elaborate or noteworthy details to brag about, in a very simple phrase, “ You will see a reflection of yourself in me” even if it is just a minuscule bit of your existence....

Belongings.

Share

misplaced and shattered, aimlessly wandering, lost the key, to your soul, destined to return, all your belongings, a quarter bottle of shame, pinch of regrets, spoon full of disgust, three-fourth cup lost hope, half pint faded desire, gallon full of dismal days, four quarts dreary bits and moments, a recipe of hatred, unveiling, discarded belongings.

Illiteracy: The Biggest Monster In Pakistan

Share

Ashamed of the recent incident of a boy murdered cold bloodedly in broad daylight. I bow my head in shame, YES, “shame”. I just saw the footage of a boy killed by Pakistani rangers in broad day light. It is not just one footage I am talking about, the Chechens a few days back were killed just […]

Nothingness

Put on a  childish voice, act, your indifference is all a lie, spilling with anger, as I see, you are porous, and yet so absorbent, always hot, bubbling with lava, the sieves that run through your body, run a blood like fluid, yet, not blood itself, it is thinned with conceit, your pride has swelled your head, which […]

Euphemism

Share

don’t read too much, into my plainspoken expression, I often misqquote myself, underrate my cognitive process, verbalize sharp wordedly, articulating unseasonably, of what is left, in an interrupted, lamentable excuse for a conversation, never bridging the void, intensifying futile endeavours, of reaching out, attaining delusive outcome, where the anima merges, into obscurity , only breaking […]

A Lil’ Nipper In Me.

Share

wide eyed and artless, as a fawn in wilderness, I miss the skills of enshrouding, the warmth and ardour that emanates, unwillingly I flow into ethereal currents of faith and reliance, I may not recognize my deep nestled ambition, only that I reach out for arcs of colours in the skies, and promises of beguiling […]
