Peace; For Afzal Shauq

Peace is something we all look for
but hardly ever find

Peace is what we dream for
but we live in a nightmare

Peace is what the world wants
but all we create is wars

Peace is what the heart and mind wish for
but everyone knows
that total peace will come in death
and only death for our world is too flawed
for the beauty that is peace                     (Kayla Lines)

Afzal have you ever read poetry by Paul Brown. I find the simplicity of the words contain the total depth of emotion you could find, and even after reading his poems a hundred times I find that they still bring me to tears every time

Afzal I find the simplicity in some of your poems absolutely mesmerizing , the way that you can covey such emotions with so few words, it stuns me in to silence

I thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement, for I have always been quite shy and reserved with it, I haven't written for ages but reading poetry always brings out the best in me.

“A Wind Swept Day Dedicated To Afzal Shauq /heather wilkins”, the simplicity of the words convey that you as a poet do not need to use unneeded unnecessary words to get your emotions across

“A Strange Justice”, this poem is full of love that it is truly amazing, to use the simple imagery of a court of law, her brain as a lawyer to me says that her heart and her mind are at war and she desperately want to follow her heart but her brain has so many good arguments as to why not to follow him. This poem i believe will always be universally appealing no matter the person no matter the day and age.

“Acts Of Cruelty”, the poem describes the total fearlessness of this woman’s lust, hidden behind deceptive smiles. It is found to be an amazingly written poem that shows no bounds i applaud the use words.

“Announcements”,this poem describes the oppression of a dictatorship, from what i have found this powerful poem simply describes what the dictators of our world are truly doing not what they say they are doing.

This poem is my pride and joy, it was written for a ritualistic drama piece in year 10 that had to have meaning, and way group chose the perils of war. I believe that this poem not only relates to the wars that are currently raging it will relate to every war in our history and in our future.

Afzal this is just a simple nursery rhyme that I have put up here as a joke because everyone in the western world has at least sung this once or heard it once a small child.. Let me share my place where I stand..

My Place

My place is where you can find me
thinking, feeling, being,
it is where I can be the ultimate me
it is comfy where I have made my mark,
a splash of paint there a bit of ribbon here.
a haven a special place where all my
dreams and fantasies come true ,
I am relaxed open and totally content
in my cosy, comfortable, special space,
that is my place.

Pinks, Purples my touch my own
colours that make me who I am
colours that change like the wind and my age.
As I change so does this place,
it moulds like a shoe to my foot.
That special place,
where I feel safe,
is my place.                                             (Kayla Lines)

Afzal what is Pashto. I have to admit the language in your poems more often than gets me lost, are you writing from the heart for if you are your heart must be a very beautiful confusing complicated place. I have just submitted a new poem my first one in two year. I have to admit the language in your poems more often than gets me lost, are you writing from the heart for if you are your heart must be a very beautiful confusing complicated place.Here’s my dream to  share!

When You Left Me

I dream at night
of having you here

I dream one day
you magically appear

I dream each night
for my knight in shining armour

Except all I get is the ones who need help
the one who come with puppy dog eyes
and stand looking forlorn and lost
until you take pity and help them in their time of need
even though you are in the time of yours ….. (Kayla Lines)
