Everything Wrong

I’m so done with the way, 
This community stays,
We talk about change,
But look the other way,
All this deviation,
From the people of this nation, 
Is causing all of this perturbations. 
 
Being a woman is a sin,
Be thin, Be thick, Be smart, 
Play your part. 
Act the way this society says, Just so that it suppresses you
 and smashes your pride,
“ Just be a good bride “ 
And you’re  just left staring at them wide eyed

Lover

Let me crawl into my lovers bones 
Let his lips whisper false words of security. 

Let me crawl into my lovers bones
Let his arms give me the warmth I’ve been searching for. 

Let me crawl into my lovers bones 
To feel the laughter reverberating around me. 

Let me crawl into my lovers bones
Let us create a mould for our love, one not too big, not too small.

Amnesia

There’s nothing to remember,
You’ll be a part forever,
Of those memories you seem to see,
Because of which you’ll always be with me ,

My head doesn’t feel right,
You’re unfamiliar in my eyes,
They stay as cold and hard as ice,
And I will always sympathise,
With you, With them, With myself,

My head isn’t so clear,
My life’s a car that I can’t steer,
The right people, the right direction
The final line where we surrender, 
Because I will always be a pretender.

A Fools Journey To Love

There is a sacred cave,
Filled with love, 
So high and so above, 
Where the winter sky’s are the coldest, 
There lives a man who’s known as the oldest. 
  
He tells tales of the modest, 
The few that make it to the forest, 
For that’s where the journey of love begins,
In the minds of the few who are ferocious. 

However these are the foolish,
Blinded by the sight of romance,
In hopes of finding a love filled with hopeful wishes, 
But they’re only caught in the traps of concupiscence.

Nature

‘Nature’
I lay on the pillowy grass 
green needles poking my cheek
announcing their minute presence in my life 

The eagles circle my body 
watching me lay for seconds, hours, days.
They pass by as the gentle breeze shifts tendrils of my hair to curl up against my cheek, seeking shelter from the wind.  

As flowers bloom on my skin,
A silent arrival of new life growing from within me 
Slowly, finally, 
I become one with the song of chirping birds and rustling leaves. 
                           - Amna Tariq.

Change

‘Change’
Eager to change?
Not really. 
All you are is susceptible to society. 

God forbid we feel what you feel. 
There’s no such thing as anxiety. 

Lock your doors and close your windows. 
We don’t want to hear the cries of widows. 

Live in a perfect world. 
Where there’s nothing to change
Because that’s what brought an end to every great dynasty’s fame. 
                        - Amna Tariq.

The Devils Hour

‘The devils hour’

The devils hour 
With its red hues 
Painting my room blue 
With the reflection of my mirror. 
A parallel me. 

We’re the same but are we?
What world do you see?
Do you feel what I feel 
Or is it just me?
You’re everything I’m not
And everything I long to be. 

It’s just me. 
You’re me and I’m you. 
We’re the only ones in this room. 
The devils hour and me. 
                     -A.T
