In the night sky All the Stars lie Where is her constellation? My eyes are dry From tears that I always cry Whenever I am in anticipation Dear Lord, Let me meet my long-lost lover one last time Dear Lord, Let me treat her with romance one last night Love is a two-day holiday But what is relaxation without desire? Depict us in a portrait as it can never age Our devotion will not cast a shadow on the world, but rather, a fire My universe is colorless Without her touch Her amour is regularly absent Provoking me to be hurt In the night sky All the Stars lie Where is her constellation? My eyes are dry From tears that I always cry Dear Lord, please take away this tingling sensation With the instruments of my temptation I play a sad melody Fervor is just a minor distraction That draws out the emotions of anybody As the believer spends their nights in repentance I spend mine in vain My personal life feels like a death sentence But before dying I wish to s...

Note: The poem takes place in a zombie post-apocalyptic scenario. The deer comes to a halt and stoops low To feed on the grass exposed through the thick blanket of snow As it rises, the scintillating sun Enlightens its prominent antlers and gentle brown fur Suddenly, the serenity of the forest is disturbed by a thundering sound And the deer falls down. A young, teenage boy emerges from a thicket of trees Holsters a large rifle onto his back with great unease And goes to admire the kill; the bullet had precisely penetrated the heart When he looks at the flowing blood, it splits open the mental scar of his past. His dad and him trudge through the ruined city, having stuffed their bags with food and water For the incoming deadly winter Though the destruction around was too severe to withstand He still felt secure holding his father's hand. But suddenly their intertwined fingers part ways Followed by a terrifying explosive sound, his father moans with pain Clutchin...

Dark-brown eyed beauties Giving you signals for the night Long silky-brunette haired cuties Leaving you tongue-tied Faces with a white glow Black eyeliner on their eyes They never take it slow But who would believe my lies? From all that I know There are Vampires in Lahore Not mentioned in any folklore But from all that I know They feast on your blood Pit feelings never kept aside None of your words they have understood Now check your neck's side That is If you're still alive One teeth-gritted kiss And your life has more than died You are now the undead And amour is eternal Though if you trust a Lahore Vampire after you are dead The end will assuredly be infernal...

Note:  Inspired by Darren Shan's 'The Saga Of Darren Shan' and 'The Saga of Larten Crepsley.' The vampire arrives at town Glad to have found civilization, sighs happily out loud With his stomach rumbling for blood, determined to feed He slinks through the still, rainy streets Making sure no one is around He enters through the window of a dark, quiet house Into a room of a sleeping couple in bed. He makes a cut in the woman's exposed leg And drinks the sweet, savory blood. Looks up after he has quenched his thirst And is stunned, no, not by her beauty and allure But because he had seen her before. His eyes fall on her ear, running down it a small scar And he sputters out blood as the memories hit him like a stake through the heart. He's walking down the street in the bright afternoon Basking in the sunlight, whistling a tune Suddenly, around the corner, he hears a loud cry of pain And he rushes forward to help; half-afraid A pretty, youn...

Your eyes were so inviting The night's over as I see the moon subsiding Still I feel something's amiss Your welcome into my life was perfect timing Now all these emotions you keep hiding On a shooting star I make one last wish Instead of just coming online tonight Would you please be mine tonight? Your lies revealed that you were lying Then I witnessed the sun rising Realized that in my soul there's a misplacement of bliss Your departure from my life couldn't be more surprising Now all these feelings you keep hiding Though I keep trying to justify this Instead of just coming online tonight Would you please be mine tonight? The sun is setting so swiftly But your face is all I want to see Because my world is at a loss If you're not part of it my love So Instead of just coming online tonight Would you please be mine tonight? Instead of letting me feel withdrawn tonight Would you please be my valentine tonight? ...

You broke the heart Of a dreamer He thought you were love When all you were was evil He visualized you As his only mistress Still you tempted him Just for a relief of stress You broke the heart The heart of a dreamer Lust mistaken for love You’re a soul criminal Now you’re asking for forgiveness From the dreamer But will he spare another heartbeat? For a Heartbreaker…

When you were going to make me cry all my life Then why did you make my heart happy Once? Even when you’re close you seem so far away Then why did you take my heart in haste Once? Our memories Are not parts of reminiscence Your lips Were not meant for a warm-hearted man to kiss When you were going to wake me up every night Then why did you sing me a lullaby Once? When you were going to leave me tonight When why did you promise never to say goodbye Once? Our secrets Should be considered as lies Our moments Should be delivered to someone else’s mind When you were going to make me cry all my life Then why did you make my heart happy Once? Even when you’re close you seem so far away Then why did you take my heart in haste Once? …

Was it a sign of compassion? A mark leading to a road by which I was led astray Times change Though I will always keep in mind what people say along the way The best things go left unsaid And better so But I hope your memories of me never become so dead You better go An act of kindness By which I became so blind A symbol of weakness From which I can never reverse time An example of blindness You never saw me cry A Gesture of love As I will see it till the day I die These green leaves turn orange-brown As they wither away The beauty of your soul will still take the form of my heart Regardless of its decay…

Remember the first time? We exchanged hellos It was the last time I could picture our halos Time can never be reversed The sad truth of life Voices in the rain can barely be heard Especially during twilight Whenever you walk past by I remember the first time When I saw you with that smile Now Every Time feels like the first time Recall the last time? We spoke delicately to each other Neither do I I am indeed a misled lover Depression can never be fully healed What psychiatrists say is a lie Scars are never fully concealed Just like these feelings that cannot subside I hope this is the last time That we see each other Because it is past time You confess that I am not your eternal lover…
