Story of a Syrian kid


 
I was born as the seventh child of my dad's second wife,
hearing noises of firecrackers I grew.
Soon I was 2 when I was enlightened by the truth,
when I stepped out of my house and realized it was not earth but hell.
It was not firecrackers but bullets.
Destruction everywhere as if its god's wrath.
City like a withered flower and smoky streets like our future.
Bewildered by the uncanny scene I ran back to my home,
with no tears but fear and a crying heart.
Our prayers and screams were heard by no one.
Living in this real nightmare I turned three.
When my father married for the third time.
Within three months,those three words ended everything between my mom and dad.
I realized love kills love.
Mom, me and siblings stayed together being a reason to live for another.
Soon I was four,
Never saw schools but the ghouls.
Never read alphabets but the scribings  on graves.
Never learned science but the prayers to god.
Time flew and I was five with a miserable life.
I went out to get some food to feed our empty stomach and sad heart..
got food and with a good mood took the road to home.
Home was not home anymore.
Redness of my lips  turned into redness over bodies of my loved ones.
Blood and sadness everywhere but not the omnipresent god.
Pieces of bodies and so of my heart scattered everywhere.
Petrified I stood in complete oblivion.
With food in my hands but no one to feed.
I screamed with no voice.
I cried with no tears.
I was alive with no heart.
I could see nothing but the flashbacks.
I wish that I was never born in this place,
where there is no peace and darkness prevails.
What was my mistake or crime to be punished in this way.?
I was free as a soul and was caged into this body just to feel pain?
Will I ever feel happiness?
Neither the god nor the evil replied.
and gunshots broke the silence...

MY LOVE




Somewhere between I found u and u found me
we found each other.
For months it felt like
we are two souls in a single body...
Although that were dark times for me
but your gracious presence settled my nerves...
I could barely see light
but your feel made my world light up....
You cared for me,
you loved me like no one else could do...
You took all the pain
 never let it reach me
You shaped me in most magnificent way u can...
Finally the most awaited day of our lives came
there were few people out there to attend the ceremony
you were so happy,
and finally i was near u.
i glared at this new world of u and me
and as expected i cried
u held my hands and u are still holding it...
Thanks mom for bringing me to this world
and  loving and supporting me in my tough times...

deep ocean


Deep Ocean

shallow from above,
but deep from below....
always calm and in peace,
like it is ceased.
As blue as sky,
Sometimes disturbed by tempests and tides.
mother of rain....
bed full of sand,
and surface with many islands.
home of many...
from bacteria to whale..
full of histories,
accompanied by mysteries...
Of pirates & treasure,
Of ghosts and monsters..
Of dissapearance & aliens.
shines brightly in sun,
and in moon like silver.
this time it's very cold that you'll shiver
from time of Sindbad to life of pi.....
the ocean is be respected ....
Now don't ask WHY ??????

Oh ! Its winter….


Oh !  Its winter….


Nights are longer and colder;
And days are shorter.
At dusk streets are overflown;
But at dawn they are alone.
Everyone falls in mighty hands of sleep;
Failing the alarm’s beep…..
I think its winter …
Oh!! Yes its winter…
Everyone is spotted with sweater & shawls;
There is good sell of such things in market & malls.
People use hot water & heater;
To defeat the coldness of winter.
Everything seem OK inside your blanket.
But there is a group of people in the streets;
With no home and warm clothes to live.
Winter for them is like hell…
They have many problems to tell;
But no one is to listen
That’s why I regret its winter……

Darker side


Everything has a darker side
You may not see that side
They may appear you very right
Bcoz you only see the side which is bright.
But inside them may last an evil
This may ruin your life.
It is more dangerous then beehives.
So friends always see both the sides.
To be on safer side….

old accuaintance



My past memories freshed when I saw a fellow,
He said me Hello!!!!!
Joy filled over my heart,
He was once my life’s part.
He was like pearl in this vast sea,
He was filled with joy too after seeing me…
I first met him in jail, when I was in sorrow
He consolidated me by saying there will be a better tomorrow
We both were innocent
There was nothing to repent.
He was 24355 & I was 24356
He was my Old Acquaintance
He was a handsome man in his young days
But now what to say
He has gone so pale after spending too much time in jail.
Few days ago he has got his bail .
He glanced upon me & cried
Not to cry I tried.
We talked well.
It was like finding happy memories in this earthly hell.
I enjoyed his company
His voice for me was like honey
Soon the time drained
Soon there was time of arrival of his train
He said me bye
I wanted to cry
But with a smile said bye
Hope that soon again I will again say hi
Although we live within a large distance
But I will never forget my Old Acquaintance..
