Your Eclipsed words
Junaid Ashraf
That breath floats to me
Like a sweet summer breeze
To bring a loo of feelings
From that earthly garden of heaven
Under the starry sky, as I eat
with sleeping taste buds
I crave for your ears
To chew my lonely thoughts
Your eclipsed words would shine like moon
To lighten my dark paths
And brutally amputate the limbs
Of my dark soul!
Loo: the hot summer breeze in India
When you passed by on that day
Gleam of your istanbul eyes
Is beautiful like a sunrise
In the dark and in the noon
You are beautiful like a moon
You glow in that facebook pic
Like a flame on a candle wick
As you shine there like a pearl
Seeing you girl, emotions whirl
When you passed by on that day
Sunflowers turned your way
It was jealous sun’s eyesore
As those flowers loved you more
Butterflies to each other said
, “Oh leave these flowers dead
Wish to bath in fragrance here
There is walking, a flower there”
My poems, girl, make you shy
Blushing then you tell me bye
Unsaid words will make me die
Why I ask this torture why
