Death Song

By -
Was love too much to ask for
Or was daydreaming about it enough?
Was hate too much to live for
Or was trying to get out of it not connected with love?

Your voice is angelic
Blows out all of Hell’s fires
My choice is perfect
But will you include me in your list of poetic liars?

You sing lullabies at night to your sweethearts
For me you produced a Death Song
I am yet to know when my funeral starts
Was love just too wrong?

And I still love you
Though my heart’s bleeding
And I still owe you
As I lay dying…

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...
