An ode to demise



The death is surely fated,
It may knock the door in any way,
Either early or belated,
And there be left nothing but a clay
The dreams and ambitions cease then,
Rest shall thou in eternal peace when,
Thy spirit will elsewhere reside,
Besides any grief; shall it abide,
Thy fame and name shall be of no use,
Neither shall thy luxuries amuse,
All thy worldly desires shall reduce,
And then thy soul shall peacefully recluse,
This would be an endless sleep,
When only the beloved will weep,
It shall make every soul creep,
And then everyone shall ponder deep.

Muhammad Saqib

The name is Muhammad Saqib, dwelling in the city of lights, Karachi, Malir. He has done his Bachelor of English from Benazir Bhutto Shaheed University, Lyari, Karachi. He cannot call himself a writer/author now because he believes these two words are quite heavy and require the very capability to name someone but yes He writes, He writes Poems, Micro-tales and Micro-prompt poetry only when it is revealed to him divinely. He prefers writing to express not to impress and since he has started writing back in 2016, he has written on several topics yet the love, life severance, unrequited love, and beauty always top the list. He still believes there is always more to read and more write because quoting, Nathaniel Hawthrone, "words, so innocent and powerless as they are standing in a dictionary; how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to choose and combine them." more…
