The Four walls
By Iram Fatima in Poetry | Reads: 841 | Likes: 0
The Four walls of the house I live in, are not clean, They are covered with layers of dust and dirt. The walls are decorated with grey and black wallpapers, They are covered with paintings, But paintings of an unsettled household and unhealthy relationships, They are covered with photographs, But th  Read More...

Dance of Life

Screaming in the silence of the night, this thumping, throbbing heart of mine. Seeks a calm that it cannot get, tries to shout but words fail it. So, I take my blanket, close my eyes              And try to become one with the abyss that right now presides.   Read More...

'Amygdala'

We celebrated a man on the moon, but never raised a glass to that which gave us ‘here’. I don’t understand the obsession. If we do right by it, one world is enough.   A species risks itself by evolving. It is only fair. Creation calls for a continual shift in regime, like seas  Read More...

To and fro we go, In the cycle of life. We climb up we climb down, But we never wanna lose the vibe. We sway back, we sway forth We rise and we fall over, We lose sometimes, we win some But experience is what matters We take it and move on.
