Whenever You Hug Me...
Destructive memories...
Endless are these
attempts to stop
this fire of lust...
I doomed to lust
the fire burns
heart's extreme
Meeting again
your soft hug
stokes the fire
Thoughts of your name
the fires fuel
consumes me.

My Peace Willing Soul
Not the hearts of
human beings only
but the hearts of
animal kinds
and flying birds too
Even then
if the heart of
a tiny ant is hurt
by someone intentionally
my peace willing soul
cries with tears

A WIND SWEPT DAY DEDICATED TO AFZAL SHAUQ /heather wilkins
As I pen my thoughts,
and dreams,
Words I cannot say,
I bear my heart to the
wind,
On a wind swept day.
May I take a dream, or
two,
My dreams involving you.
Blow them to the wind,
Make my dreams come
true.
I bear my heart to the
wind,
On a balmy day,
May it catch on fire,
And blow your love,
my way.

Hidden Sun
In dreams...
eyes Willing
to look upon
the green tattoo
The sun on thy head.
I have named you
with blind faith
my hearts desire.
This sun I seek
Remains hidden
by night's black hair.
Unfortunate my journey...
Unending dream
Waiting
longing...
Just a single gust of wind
come blow thy blacken hair
and show the sun...

The Earthquake Of Time
I believe
the Lines of fate
vary from hand to hand
each a different destiny
But Why is it
The poor seems
always the great loser
with the earthquake of time
Could it be the lines of fate...?
For the hands of poor
have seen hard work
and the lines worn
till only dashes remain.

A LITTLE PRINCESS--BRESHNA KAHN (Sweet tiny daughter of Afzal Shauq) /Heather Wilkins
Having a new friend in our
land,
To her, we extend our hand.
My family, is waiting, to see
you there
To place a flower, in your
hair..
Your house, number one, in
the row,
Surrounded by lots of mistletoe.
Decorated with candy kisses,
For a special little misses.
You'll meet Snow White,
Tinker Bell too,
They'll come out, and play,
with you.

Peace Power
PEACE POWER: By Afzal Shauq
'Instead of
criticizing my love feelings
to the cause of peace
Isn’t it better
to open the hearts of those
who
being the children of
Eve and Adam
proudly consider me
as their own universal family member
and respect my words
omitted for them
from the core of my heart'
__________
Peace Power
