Beneath the night’s vast, twinkling expanse,
A celestial wonder, in love’s tender trance.
You, morning star, after night’s patient plea,
Radiant, unmatched, a sight to see...

In the chase
For endless glee,

Vestiges of Comfort! by Ayesha Abid - Pakistan
My heart drowns as it craves your embrace,
My head is going wild, in the darkness of days,
My love is getting emptier, day by day
My soul is drowning as my feelings decay...

Miracle! by Hamda Rafaaqat - Pakistan
Why do you wait for magic's gentle hue,
Crafted in woman's womb, a spark so true?
At first,
She feels discomfort in her stride,
A stranger to herself, emotions collide.
Confused,
She can't discern joy from sorrow,
As adolescence dawns, a new tomorrow.
In skies of colors, where clouds gently weep,
Resembles the womb, where life's secrets keep.
Like rain cascading in crimson's embrace,
The uterus whispers of life's tender grace.
Was not it a miracle to you?...

Tears flow down the cheeks at your departure.

Fireflies by Aniqa Gulzar - Pakistan
Oh you pretty lampyridae, envious am I
Twinkling splendidly in the darkness, your resplendence, can't deny
Those tiny lights, a beacon of hope for happiness deprived
A motive for some pessimist to continue to strive
Those nights seeming endless will certainly end
Your grieving heart, if you try, will manifestly mend...

Shades of Deceit! by Aniqa Gulzar - Pakistan
It's a domain of masks and charades,
Truth disguised by different shades,
Authentic or fabricated, who will tell
In a world where masks are put on so well
Beautiful faces, poisonous vibes
Do they conceal wounds or deceitful lies?
Those creepy smiles that seem so forced
Do they imply pain or something worse?
That cloak of courage you wear all the time
Must be hiding a heinous crime
Or maybe a shattered heart that continues to weep
Hinting there's misery and pain running deep...

Love's Resilience: A Dance with Schizophrenia! by Narjis Raza - Pakistan
In shadows deep, where anguish dwells,
A haunting ailment casts its spell.
Schizophrenia, a cruel disease,
That grips the mind and does not cease.
Within my father's weary heart,
It tears his world and pulls apart.
Each moment tinged with silent strife,
A battle waged within his life.
The line between what's right and wrong,
Becomes a blur, a twisted song.
Reality's tapestry, torn and frayed,
In this labyrinth, he's lost and swayed...
