As I ran hundred miles

By Asim • May 7th, 2008 • Category: Misc

As the dew sets in early in the morning
As wake up calls echo like the sirens
When the conscience begins to question
The meaning and of its relations
There exists a place,
where foes turn into friends
And friends into foes – explicit markings
There I ran hundred miles with the old friend
In anger and in pain, as the rain kicked […]



Famous Blue raincoat

By Asim • May 6th, 2008 • Category: Misc

With a different story,
Here I stand
At this deserted station
Ready to embrace
The new beginnings
The new life
New to this land
And its ways
Many years will it take
To bring me to learn
Many years it will take
To bring me to accept
Learning is easy
But to acquire wisdom
Take it will many years
From old hardships
And unknown struggles
In me exists myself
And others,
nameless souls
From a […]



The plastic bag

By Asim • May 5th, 2008 • Category: Misc

No longer needed,
The art of appeasement
The life she led
Throws she in the air,
Her belongings, unwanted
From years of apprehension
comes forward,
Another witness
She killed herself, not me!



Trip to Earth

By Asim • May 5th, 2008 • Category: Misc

As we descend into this universe
With gifts of existence and purpose
Awaits in its traps the old burden
Of responsibility and freedom
Kicks in these old questions
of place and of uniformity
Far you will not go,
Wear those shackles
Of life and its choices
Pours out our blood
In elation and in pain
As we descend into this universe
With gifts of existence and purpose!



Kinhar to Khunjerab

By Asim • May 4th, 2008 • Category: Misc

Traveled for days,
in quest for patterns
Raveling of existence
From Kinhar to Khunjerab
In days to remember,
The old photographs
Old features and formation
From old Russian cigarettes
To adventure with death
In the old mountains
Beautiful and serene
Unforgiving & brutal
Characters of past,
From one town to another
Followed we those steps
As words follow the book
Of all those moments
and its loss
as we traveled for days
in quest […]



Let’s Live!

By fzuberi • May 3rd, 2008 • Category: Misc

lets live life
like our last day
lets take from life
a little bit more-
lets treat every one
with a little more compromise
do all;
live,
make it happen,
do what i did;
lets really make it happen
lets live life a little bit more
lets always be sincere
lets not with lies;compromise
do it all
make it happen
leave all gods;
to their origin,
lets show them
what we are capable of!
lets […]



The Cedar Trees

By Asim • May 1st, 2008 • Category: Misc

Different it was then,
In abundance,
Flowers and fields of green
The old protection
of mysticism and cedar trees
Along the dusty road
With small mosque
Few houses and animals
Life slow in its steps
As paces of time follow
In circles, the seasons
Different it is now,
The disease and its effect
Gone from the view
The old fields of corn
Flowers and wheat
In view, from a distance
Metal roads, […]



Redemption

By Asim • May 1st, 2008 • Category: Misc

Ask me my friends of words,
As I create this flutter
See them in action, those birds
Never they fall, never they stutter
Don’t kill the effect and its essence
Murder it is for the muse
Imagine the impact and its menace
Rise like those rainbows in its cruise
Depart these words of prose and rhyme
Brutality of mind and its characters
As we walk […]



Immersed in deliberations

By Asim • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Politics

Of all those moments we cannot see
What lies beyond, all we see is fiction
Of our shortcomings, of our failures
Issues we cannot resolve, we blame
On someone else, not our burden,
Incapable, barren like the land
From years of wasteful efforts
Find them we all everywhere
In streets, these signatures of their crime
Immersed in deliberation, the old plots
To reincarnate the old […]



My Monsoon Song

By Asim • Apr 30th, 2008 • Category: Misc

Lost in my existence,
Undetermined,
Knows no one of my state
Sleeps here, your memory
Of friendship and distance
My barren soul, in monsoon
This madness beckons
How shall I spend?
This exotic loneliness
These states of my heart
Return you to me
Like old flowers of favors
In this state of madness
And this music flows
Through memory you come
The intoxicated effect
Of loneliness,
In madness, I resort
As it burns […]
