She Said

She Said,
''Poet why do you look at me this way?''
I replied,
''An artist first pictures elegance in his mind, then on a page''

For I saw the cruelty
Underneath your facade
Outside there is beauty
Inside an evil so odd

A shape so unbalanced
Impossible to distinguish between Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde
A body ripe to be touched
Yet a soul that has constantly driven men blind

She Said,
''Poet why do you not glance at me like the others?''
I replied,
''A writer himself creates characters''

For I see you as you are
My penmanship will depict you
Just alongside the ever-fading moon you are a forgotten star
Though my lips still wish to kiss you

And I ache in this sweet bitterness
That is life
Will you be my savior from this inwardness?
As your figure tells no lies...

Haha, I agree with Abdullah's statement - as all good things must come to an end.

This post is dedicated to all our readers, and friends. Yesterday Poetics101 reached a massive 1000 pageviews! Without the help of you all, our faithful readers, we would not have been blessed with such newly-found popularity. No matter where you found out about the blog: Ask.fm, Facebook, Twitter, etc. We give our acknowledgement to everybody. Also, recognition to all those who have commented, whether anonymously or non-anonymously. Additional gratitude goes to Samie Khan and Hamza Danish. Without their friendship, and advertising back-up, Abdullah and I could not have achieved such greatness. Remember that we are just writers. Only with readership support can we go the distance, and turn our official publication dreams to a reality. Bless all of you - and most of all - Thank You!

Lahore Vampires

By -
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...

Dreamer Deceived

By -
The end is near For every lover But they do not fear Now they will run for cover But I dread you Mistook you for a dream In the mist I had seen you Walking on a stream I am a Dreamer My mind can create any scene I never wished to leave her She was my actual dream Still you persisted Calling me to insanity I, as a Dreamer, resisted Yet you dragged me into reality So what you were A miracle rarely seen And as a Dreamer I got Deceived by a dream...
