if only

if only i could hold your hand and take you with me
to a place where i could carve a destiny
where your thoughts and mine could finally agree
that both of us are children of the free
.
our nights were lonely even under a bright Western sky
closing our eyes, retiring our bodies without goodbyes
even in dreams we can’t make our happy smiles
in the middle of a slumber  we’re forced to open our eyes
.
there’s fear in our conduct, everyday of our lives
faith is in us, there’s a reason to survive
scared of terrorism of different creeds and drives
to rule and gain the world  but loose their souls derived…

A page of my life…

Koronadal, Surallah 008 (2)

a river overflowed its thorny banks
pouring the rains  with some faithful thanks
this once arid river was a stretch of sand
no flowers no birds have made home this land
.
suddenly the clouds so dark made the entrance
invited the wind and lightning making a stand
this deserted forest of rocks and waves of dust
burst fort a paradise of lives, bliss and trust…
