We Talked And Laughed And Laughed And Talked Some More,
Nay Did I Know my Heart Had Other Plans.
Time Went By, Still As Friends But My Heart Was Taking Shape
And That’s When All Hell Broke Out!

Holiday Hell, Poetry by Mohammed Islam Butt
“Dare God don’t let it be!”
I happened to glance at the calendar suspended on my wall
There were red X Shapes for days that have passed in those square.
But that wasn’t what caught m eye, it was tomorrows square
And what was written inside.
My messy and somewhat childish handwriting proclaimed what I feared.
“THE CHRISTAMS HOLIDAYS”
Underneath drawn for emphases were a skull and two bones crossing.
