  • Color Of The Sky

    Someone once asked me, “how would you describe the color of the sky if you were not allowed to use the words blue, cloudy, white, black and grey?’

    I thought for a while and then I picked up a pen and a paper, and this is what I came up with.

    You can find everything up there if you look for it. Grass not green and the flowers not purple, mountains not brown and rusty not a pebble. You see everything in the color of purity when it’s morning and you see everything magically colorful as the sun sets. When the night rises you fall in love with the shimmery dreams twinkling on the immensely wide canvas. The broken, the lost, the forgotten, the lovers, the poets, the over-thinkers and many others who believe in magic, look up at the vastness with hope and paint their dreams.

    So, if you ask me what is the color of the sky? I would say it is colorless. And every tint, tone or shade you see there is purely of dreams, wishes, hopes, and imaginations.

  • A Piece Of My Diary

    I wrote this in my diary when I was 16.

    For me, life is

    The flowing river, the blowing wind, the sound of the rain, the laughter of a baby, the beautiful sunset, a cup of hot chocolate in the winters, the evenings of summer, the night sky covered with stars, the rainbow after the rain, the lovely mornings, the dreams you can die for, the music that can heal every wound and being yourself among the crowd.

    Thank you for reading.

  • Demons and Darkness

    Not all demons live in hell,

    some live in my mind.

    They pull me in a dark well,

    where light can’t be find.

    I beat them in their own game,

    they don’t know my kind.

    I am not a loss, I am a find.

    I am a riddle, If everyone is a rhyme.

    I am the diamond lost among the dime,

    In the lemonade I am the lime.

    The sugar is too sweet and the salt is too bitter,

    I am a lot of things but not a quitter.

    Oh my dear demons, you are messing with the wrong,

    I might look like lullaby, but darkness is my favorite song.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.

  • Unnoticed

    It hurts to live unnoticed..

    right in front of million eyes

    you die inside every day every night ,

    they say eyes are the windows to the soul

    yet either they can’t see or I guess they choose to ignore

    all the battles I lost all the pain I hide

    right in front of million eyes, there are billion deaths I died.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.

  • Here I Weep

    I grew silent I have stopped fighting

    I am drained of all the lighting

    And in the darkness

    even the strongest of hearts break

    even the purest of souls are tempted

    My life is what I have never regretted

    I wish people knew that choosing to stay is brave and walking away is weak

    but often misjudged, here I break here I weep.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.

  • My Poetry Will Stay

    You can pretend to be happy, but poetry never lies

    it’s a piece of truth that stays, even if the poet dies

    No right no wrong some pain some song, it’ss the emotions that come out when your heart cries.

    Poetry is what helps me release all my pain, but now I will stop writing

    I will let the pain in to bite me

    I will feel every bit of it, until it takes me away

    And for you, my poetry will stay.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.

  • Spectrum

    She was a spectrum but you were color blind.

    She even turned black and white for you.. But you were like “never mind”.

    I don’t know when you’ll realise, that she was offering you a bond for life.

    In your dark days, she wanted to be your light.

    You poured your past betrayal onto her flame.

    Broken she still stood there carrying all the pain.

    But my dear you took her for granted and it was the last thing she wanted.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.

  • She

    She is made of sunlight

    Drenched in moon

    Just like stars in the sky

    And butterflies out of cocoon

    Colourful and mesmerizing

    She is a delight

    Bright as day

    Yet dazzling as night.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.

  • Forever

    Whenever someone promises me “forever”

    my mind automatically wonders

    where this “forever” ends.

    Because every promise ever made to me was never kept

    And the broken bonds never mend.

    I wonder if I am a fool

    for I keep all my promises

    Or the world is way too cruel

    for all my wishes.

    When I promise to Stay

    I stay no matter what may come and no matter what we may lose,

    And I wish the world was not so confused…

    Because to me “forever” means a bond beyond death and life

    Not just a set of alphabets used to cover the lies.

    -Kulsoom Abid

    Thank you for reading.
