This poetry is for my special:
To see you hurt
To see You cry
Makes me weep &
Wana die

If you agree
To never fight
It wouldn't mater
who's wrong or right

If a broken heart
Needs a mend
I''ll be right there
Till the end

if your cheeks are so wet
From drops of tears
Don't you worry
Let go away your fears

Hand in hand
Love is sent
We'll be friends
Till the END...

Shakir, How Strange (translation of saraiki poetry)

I am you avowal, your disavowal, your confession, your
denial
I inspire your love, I incur your hatred
I have the right to your blessing, I am the core of your wrath
Shakir, how strange: I am known and unknown to you

Autumn Leaves (translation of Saraiki poetry of Shakir)

Here, some honour loyalty
Some prize manners
We are autumn leaves
We fear the wind

Hope Against Hope

Hope against hope should never end
The beloved should never be defamed
Tonight she made this final vow:
May this evening never end

Love is my sin and thy dear virtue hate,
Hate of my sin, grounded on sinful loving:
O, but with mine compare thou thine own state,
And thou shalt find it merits not reproving;
Or, if it do, not from those lips of thine,
That have profaned their scarlet ornaments
And seal'd false bonds of love as oft as mine,
Robb'd others' beds' revenues of their rents.
Be it lawful I love thee, as thou lovest those
Whom thine eyes woo as mine importune thee:
Root pity in thy heart, that when it grows
Thy pity may deserve to pitied be.
If thou dost seek to have what thou dost hide,
By self-example mayst thou be denied!

***Rain***
Rain, midnight rain, nothing but the wild rain
On this bleak hut, and solitude, and me
Remembering again that I shall die
And neither hear the rain nor give it thanks
For washing me cleaner than I have been
Since I was born into this solitude.
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon:
But here I pray that none whom once I loved
Is dying to-night or lying still awake
Solitary, listening to the rain,
Either in pain or thus in sympathy
Helpless among the living and the dead,
Like a cold water among broken reeds,
Myriads of broken reeds all still and stiff,
Like me who have no love which this wild rain
Has not dissolved except the love of death,
If love it be for what is perfect and
Cannot, the tempest tells me, disappoint.

(Jst remembered old days)

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
by Jane Taylor

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut an eye
Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Never Have I Fallen

Your lips speak soft sweetness
Your touch a cool caress
I am lost in your magic
My heart beats within your chest
I think of you each morning
And dream of you each night
I think of your arms being around me
And cannot express my delight

Never have I fallen
But I am quickly on my way
You hold a heart in your hands
That has never before been given away

" A Cry In The Darkness "


A cry in the darkness
Is a cry for help
A cry for a hand
To reach out
A cry for a finger
To wipe away the tear
A soul, to stop the shed of tears
A cry in the darkness
Is a cry for help
A cry in the night
Where the cry cannot be traced
A cry in the world, not bothered to be traced
A cry in the streets
Where the real world is dangerous
Where the real world is a living nightmare
A cry from a child
Is not answered
A cry from a child
Is not heard.
A cry from a child
In a living nightmare

****But i still miss u***

I Cant Get You out of My head
No Matter how i try
I Still love You
Even when you make me Cry,



I want You in my Arms
I want you to be Mine
But You don't want me Now
You says it's Not our Time,



Relat!0nshipS are hard Enough
But love makes them even Worse
Love Makes it hard to give Up
Love is a curse,



I Hate the fact I love You
And that i cant Get You out of My Mind
I hate that every time i think of You
My heart flutters and My eyes Cry,



I don't understand how you do this to Me
How You make Me want to Die
How I dream about you Every Night,



I 'd rather Cry and mope and Whine
Than call You to get things Straight
Because somewhere in my Heart
I know Its already Too Late
but i still miss u.

Size Of Your Heart!!


It isn't the size of your house as such
That matters so much at all.
It's the gentle hand and its loving touch,
That make it great or small.

The friends who come and the hour they
Who out of your house depart,
Will judge it not by the style you show,
But rather by the size of your heart.

It isn't the size of your head so much,
It isn't the wealth you found.
That will make you happy -- it's how you touch
The lives that are all around.

For making money is not hard --
To live life well is an art:
How people love you, how they regard,
Is all in the size of your heart.

African Kid

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when! You die , you gray

And you calling me colored?

Some broken heart may never mend

Some memories may never end

Some wet tears may never dry

But my love for you will never die

From my heart to your heart,
I have something to say,
You are the one person
who can make my day!
When I need a helping hand
you are there without delay,
Your love and understanding
I can only hope to repay.

I just wanted you to know I was thinking of you.
May you have a wonderful day today!

I am a rose, you are my thorns,
clutching to me, protecting me.

I am the sun, you are my rays,
helping me to shine and to be all that I can.

I am a lake, you are my water,
filling me with ideas, dreams, and hopes for the future.

I am a tree, you are my leaves,
sharing who and what I am
and becoming an important part of my life.

I am a heart, you are my beat,
beating rhythmically to my happiness,
my fear, my sadne..

Bullets

Bullets riddle the air
Hate stalks
The streets
But sitting up high
They laugh
Nothing is wrong as long as I have power

Danger lurks around corners
Violence flows as freely as blood in the streets
Suddenly
Death is a part of everyday life
But those at top
Look down at the people and smile
Nothing is wrong
Nothing will go wrong as long as I have power

The city erupts, dissolves
The city collapses
But, at the top
They rejoice
They are in power

End 1995
