A Grown Up Child - Poetry by Neelum Afridi

" A Grown up Child"

"I'm a mess indeed,

Running after fantasies.

I get blind, I can't see,

Can't distinguish between these

Black, white, right and wrong.

OH I can't lead,

My way to the sacred thee!

I lost my focus.,

I can't breathe.

With this world, 

How to deal?

Everything is different

Than it seemed"

There came a voice to me..

"You are growing up!"

Miss You - Poetry by Neelum Afridi

"Miss You"

Birds stop chirping

Sun stop rising 

Rivers stop  flowing

Flowers stop  growing.

Smiles are fading

Eyes are tearing 

Seconds are hurting

Days are not passing

All world's beauty

Seems so horrid.

O father! When you are going

When you are leaving.

 My eyes still searching

 For that charming

 Pearl so lovely

 Shinning like Mithra

 Smiling so warmly

 Oh yes my chandelier!

 I miss you really

 You are the only

 Fun is nothing

When you ain't homing

I see you everywhere

When you are on venture

As a flier

For our desires

The Arrogant Winds

                                                                       

"The Arrogant winds" 

"I think I lost you,

Though I never owned you."

Said I when you crossed me,
Fluttering my hair over my face.

Those arrogant winds blew,

So swiftly they flew.

I tried to catch them,

Strenuously I made an effort

But they passed ruthlessly,

Pushed me away fiercely.

Thought I, they would stop,

OH no! I forgot....

"These winds are too arrogant to stop.

Don't thee amain to halt.

Yes thy have lost,

Something to you 

which never belonged....."
