When it all ends, it goes down on paper

Hey everyone! I am really very happy to tell you all that two of my works have been published in my college magazine. I know its not a big shot, but it was my first attempt at getting something published somewhere and it is really a wonderful feeling when people you know very well, and even those you really don’t know that well, come up to you and appreciate your work. So I thought I need to share one of those poems with you all too. The first one has been published in this blog earlier, in the post titled ‘Emptiness’. These were written about 6-7 months ago at a very low point of my life. But Alhamdulillah (thanks to Allah), the time has gone, and these poems just reminisce the feelings then.

THE END OF YOU

Here I am back on the lane..

Which gives nothing else but pain..

When will it stop?

The sliding tear drop,

When will they fade?

The memories that eventually invade,

My mind, my heart, my soul..

Planting a deathly ghoul..

You taught me how to love

I learnt how to care

Those silent conversations we drove

Are the best moments we share

But now you’re gone

And I’m forlorn

Wish you had shown me how to hate

Because you’re not worth the wait

My only hope in sight

Is that the day would become bright

The clouds would cast away

And I would dance and sway

And talk and smile

Which I have not done in a while

Oh Lord, bring back those times

Please.. bring back those times…

I’d appreciate your feedback! Hope you liked it! 🙂

Emptiness

Memories. Sigh, they can be joyful and precious, or painful and not worth a dime. And the worst trait of the latter kinds are that no matter how hard we try, they can just never be forgotten. We always forget the happier moments of life whenever we are faced with a tragedy. Whats worse is one tragedy has the power to flood our mind with all the other tragedies that have occurred in the past. And then starts the trip down the memory lane. A harsh, rugged lane, with very few highs and many more lows. I travelled down a similar memory lane last night and I suddenly recollected the poem I had written a few months ago. So I just thought I’ll share it with you all. There is nothing more I will say today because I need some time to gather my emotions. Hope you all like the poem! 🙂

They’ve all drowned..

All the feelings my heart crowned…

Love was the first to sink in…

Trust got destroyed by hateful sin.

Hope was all that was left

It filled up the space left by the rest

But alas, the storm grew stronger

And the monstrous waves crushed it all over

Hope tried to hold on..

But the force was too strong..

It tried to find a way

To prolong the stay..

But the storm didn’t cease

And destructed all peace.

All sense has fled my mind..

Emptiness…. is what’s left behind…..
