They say that we are made of stardust. That God bestowed us with gifts beyond our knowledge.
That is not true. We are nothing but human. Stars do not adorn the darkness of our souls.
But I will tell you this. I am the stolen one, raised by a man who gets by with murder. If any one around you decides that you are not worth the ground you stand on, they go to him with pouches filled with gold.
Then I am the last thing you will see before you die.
I shine brighter than any star, for hope is thriving in my unbroken will. I am Falak and I am the Ember in the Night.

Guilted: Wars Against The Past (Editing)
The things I knew that were once unethical, were bound to be saintly. The dreams I dreamt once upon a time, seemed to be an epitome of nightmares. The heart I thought I stole long ago, always belonged to someone else. The crimes I have committed all my life, became a handful of lessons that I ought to learn. The world I looked up to once, became a mortal enemy of mine. The family I thought would disown me, fought my battles for me. The life I never imagined I'd live, sadly it became a life I'd rather live than die. Lastly, the guilt I carried in me for the each and every second of my living, was a poison spreading and gradually banishing everything around me. Clearly, I was bounded by the past! Never have I imagined for the galaxy of guilt in me to steadily transform into a matter of great; Love. No, it wasn't for my dead sister, or for the woman I once claimed to love, or for my money-grubbing father, or even for the woman who was destined for me. Majestically, it was for Someone who I never ever thought it would be for; My Maker. Well, it's mind-blowing how the ugliest of matters bring out the most beautiful of articles! -Guilt is a gift from Allah, warning you that what you are doing is violating your soul.- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Started: 22/12/2017, 7:15 pm.

Survivors Of The Lost
2020/05/29 #105 Sorrows #394 spiritual First I thought to tell you everything, What Iam hiding and why? But then I realized, Do you care about it? I love hard. Embarrassingly hard. All in type of hard. But I do silently. I drown the feelings in my gut until I'm heavy with 'I want you' and 'I love you' and 'I miss you'. I hold my hope in my throat. I clutch my wishes in my hands. They become moist with sweat until I no longer want them. If you could read me you would have known, I never wanted you to leave until now. It was just the situation where holding on to you was more difficult than letting you go. I loved you, I cried, I apologised, I made efforts, And Finally I lost myself.Complete
In the Absence of Light
I laugh at you pitiful humans who scurry about this Earth with out a purpose seeking only life, but finding only death. I welcome death. I know what is coming, and the Goddess of Darkness will welcome me into her kingdom when I die. For now, I serve her purpose. I fight wars in her name, and serve as her avatar when needed. When she first came to me, she burned the love out of my heart. Now I find only humor in silly human affections. Love. It's such a short and despicable word. Maybe I could just enjoy fighting until I died, if it wasn't for the city. My city. My own corrupted city that cast me out for saving one of the city's own. The city I spit upon for its treatment of the gods and goddesses chosen people. I swear that one day, I will come back. Something must be done, and maybe, just maybe, the Goddess of the Absence of Light might choose me as her instrument of salvation, or destruction.Complete
Starlight of Persia
"Which do you prefer being called, Moonlight or Starlight?" I looked up in disbelief from where I knelt obediently on his dark bedroom floor, illuminated by just a lamp. As someone in a position of unquestionably great power to obliterate my entire existence within the blink of an eye, the first thing the King of Persia happens to ask me, instead of picking up a whip and administering my punishment that was due, is what flattering nickname I'd like being called...amongst the two. Punctuating his mysterious question, I hear a slight peek of what I am certain... is a sadistic chuckle. ----------------------------------- In the 7th century AD, Persia was at a constant war with the Byzantine Empire. This made the future of Sassanid Dynasty seem frighteningly uncertain. The religious and ethnic groups in Persia didn't get along either by now, resulting in a civil war, and this finally made it easier for the Arab invaders to exploit the cracks that already existed within the Empire, making it collapse entirely. The Princess of Persia, Azin who had lived her entire life in a remote village with a different identity, finally returned home to meet the new King of Persia, Emir Yousuf Al Hamad. Coming up with a dangerous strategy, she schemes to get close to Yousuf, topple and dethrone him, only to send him back to hell. For she is sure, that... is where he belongs.

Irrevocably In Love
He is funny jokes. She is shy smiles. He is sarcastic. She is logistic. He finds positives in life. She finds negatives in life. He is a playground. She is a book. He stares at people, confidently. She stares at the floor, nervously. He is impulsive. She is caution. He is complex. She is simple. He is day. She is night. He is sun. She is moon. He is Mr social. She is Miss shy. They had nothing in common But still their heart rhymed, Because it takes two opposites to harmonize. You'll be surprise to know how much you can have in common with someone completely different from you.Complete
