POEMS FOREVER

As imperceptibly as grief

By Emily Dickinson

As imperceptibly as Grief

The Summer lapsed away –

Too imperceptible at last

To seem like Perfidy –

A Quietness distilled

As Twilight long begun,

Or Nature spending with herself

Sequestered Afternoon –

The Dusk drew earlier in –

The Morning foreign shone –

A courteous, yet harrowing Grace,

As Guest, that would be gone –

And thus, without a Wing

Or service of a Keel

Our Summer made her light escape

Into the Beautiful.

A star that refused to die

By Zahra Zafar

There is stardust in your bones

That keeps you ablaze but forever alone.

You are the survivor of thousands of wars

Remembrance of centuries embellished with scars.

Storms were named after people like you

A hurricane in nature, a prophetic clue.

You are the star that refused to die

In the depth of your soul defiance lies.

Darkness breaking the silence

By Eman Khan

Silence all around!

Hearing creepy sounds,

That’s when the anxiety begins

Don’t let that cover you up,

You, yourself can change it all

By not letting in negative thoughts into your mind,

Stop, stop now and let the positive game begin

You are enough to change and stop everything,

So just get ready

I make you my poem

By Zeba Aziz

When I am in a mood

To write

Some poetry

I take my pen

Along with the diary

I sit in solitude

With a positive attitude

Then you appear

All of a sudden

Out of the subconscious

Deeply hidden

I lose control over

My pen

I start writing you

I make you my poem
