Save your tears, dear


Save your tears, dear
Worlds a place of fear
You were not born in heaven
Travel back in time, regain your sight
Its crucial that you keep sanity intact.
Lament not your case, or mine
Lest the ignorant we cheer
In this parched land of ours
You’re a lone breeze my dear
What rain-drop, in her right mind,
Would mingle with a roaring ocean?

Save your tears, dear
In these dark days of ours
Keep your lids arid, waterless
like the cliffs of this house divided.
But then there is a weapon in Patience
Never has Hope ever lost a soul
And none has monopoly over Air.

Heavenly Hug


Heavenly hug
Happily joins
Cohesive parts
Interwoven needs
Needing no coercion
Heavenly love.

Mercy kissed
Children
Falling in love
With the mother soil
Heaven held.

Nontoxic jokes
No more pokes
Poise in our votes
Freshly doused
Flowers
Shimmering, adoring
Falling in love
With the heavenly hold.

Heavenly hug
Happily joins
Cohesive parts
Interwoven needs
Needing no coercion
Heavenly love.

Yaa Allah!


When your nation becomes a liability
And your voice adds to the disability
A matter of sink or else…
And a people that won’t swim
Yaa Allah!
