Wandering midst barren eaves, cradling the abstract hues of autumn
Probing the wild echoes of laughter, holding onto the pale beams of joy
Walking upon withered leaves, humming a sweet melody
Staring at demons of nothingness, yearning for the caress of astral whispers
Breathing in the sadistic breeze, the venom of silence nearing me
Hail the heartless autumn
By Zeba Aziz
The air is so calm
So appealing tonight
The glee I hear
With no noise tonight
The calmness, singing,
The language of peace
With all its sounds
With all its beats
Yet calm prevails
All in the air
The speaking silence
Is all I can hear
The moon and the stars
Too, are quiet
Enjoying the calm in
The air, tonight
Poems forever
By William Butler Yeats
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
By Mah Noor
When the sun goes down
And the heart stops beating
When the words fly over
And the sky is full of stars
I miss you like the wind
That misses smell of flowers
When the leaves are falling
And the life stands still
You give me all the hope
To bloom and fill
The emptiness inside
And to keep at ease
The shaking mind of mine
So come to me today
And hold my hand
‘Cause I’m falling down
And I want to feel alive
I want to see you smile
And I want to hold your hand
All through my life
I want to feel alive
