Hey you! Were you the one that night
Playing hide and seek in the moonlight
Mischievously throwing off your veil
Captivating the moon under your spell
To come and steal the luster from your face
I stood there, stunned by your effulgence
Your beaming smile in dark, pure brilliance
Lighting up the darkest of rooms
Compelling me to swirl and swoon
On the dance floor of your heart
Those innocent, twinkling eyes
Illuminating my world like stars
Your charisma, bewitching my sight
Enchanting my soul with your light
I stood amazed, hypnotized by your gaze
You! Unaware of my ecstatic state
Swaggered around with your dazzling gait
How I wish, you were a mere lamp
In my abode, I would then clamp
Alas! You were just my dream girl!
By Amna Ameer
Still remains
A testament
To immortal
Existence
Of a life
That was morbidly
Tinged with pain
Yet survived
In spite
Of the struggle
Of one’s own mind
Finding ways to breathe
Again through art
Using the yellow
Of sunflowers
And the waxing and waning
Waves of a starry night
Living in the hues
Where most souls
Don’t lurk
For they have something to lose
Yet only those who
Dare to experience
Something other than
The norm
Know the secret
Of pain and loss
Nothing in this life
Comes with a promise
Of everlasting twilight
Except darkness
Followed by the morning sky
By Zeba Aziz
I have a world
Imaginary
A storybook
Of my own
There, I rule
Like a queen
The first thing
I conquered
Was you
Be it spring
Or fall
There
I have you all
Each breath
You inhale
Blossoms
My soul
Everything
In here
Is blissful
The words
You utter
The things
You do
The love
You show
For I am
The author
Of the fantasies
I own
