Ahtesham Sham Poems

Life; a mere gift of god
God; which no one has seen
Sight; a deceit of mind
Mind; a manifestation of man
...

Don't reject me
Don't discard me
Don't rush me
...

Nice days were those
When happiness was around
Rainbow-like colors filled the life
And I, like a leprechaun
...

Sitting beneath this sierra-
of cement and steel
In this dark horrific evening
I recall your face
...

You had never talked to me
other than in dreams
But still I heard it all
-that was in your heart
...

We are so apart
Yet so close
That I can see your every move
You look so beautiful when
...

There were days when
I prayed you to love me
Knowing I never get
What I pray for
...

Consider me a pond of water
Still, Calm and Quiet
Sitting in a corner with my reticence
You on other hand are fire
...

I have had enough to take
And I can't stand it anymore
So, could you please
Put an end to me
...

A great tug of war was being played
between Love and War
at abode of God
...
