Selected Poem - August, 2021

Detached by Aqeedat Naseer - Pakistan

Catching the sight of long rows of honking cars

This sound of clunking, hissing and rattling

Mixing with the thunder of dark, ragged and crimson clouds

Spot this girl’s long fingers in the crowd

Mimicking the movement of anti-clockwise rotation...

Orange Autumn: Season of Divinity by Dirha Qazi - Pakistan

I adore Autumn while the world awaits spring;

I adore the compulsion that every single thing

Has to attain the garb,

And contrast

With one color of the Autumn,

The Orange mark!

Where even leaves are finally

Forced to abandon

Their customary patterns

And shades of green…

A Broken Promise ! by Anum Khalid - Pakistan

While collecting the shattered pieces,

Of your broken promise and my broken heart.

I injured myself, but I didn’t bleed.

My eyes were stinging, but I couldn’t even shed a tear.

With body, shaking and mind engulfed in a blinding haze,

I started collecting the remains of us...

Love's a Promise ! by Syeda Faiza Babar - Pakistan

Unfulfilled dreams and tears unwept

Words that are said aren’t actually meant

Letting you down and making you fall

Love it is, that’s what they call

It leaves you with a shattered heart...

Nightmare by Maham Fatima - Pakistan

I saw it lurking in darkness

An indomitable phantom

A most arcane creature

Utterly disheveled yet oddly familiar

Visage marred with unbridled carnality

Compelling me to avert my eyes

As it approached me

My pulse leapt into my throat

And my heart skittered to a stop

It’s unrelenting and vile gaze

Arrested the breath from my lungs

Until I found myself grappling for air...

The Serenity I Long For! by Duaa Shahid - Pakistan

A group of foggy stratus clouds

Hides all the mountain tops

And the sprinkled snow over the surface

Looks like the drops fallen from the clouds

The cedar trees exist in random positions...

The Serenity I Long For! by Komal Naeem - Pakistan

The Serenity I long for,
Is to not think what happens tomorrow,
But be able to reside only in the present.
So that my heart’s silent,
and never desires anything more.
The Serenity I long for,
Is when all I hear around,
Is the Earth’s sound,
When it revolves on its axis...

Faith in Divinity by Komal Naeem - Pakistan

When you lose yourself,

in the darkest times.

You feel yourself entrapped,

and the walls are closing in on you.

You drag yourself every day,

from one hopeless situation to another.

You feel like letting yourself go,

in the abyss around.

But...

A Drop of my Heart Escaped my Existence ! by Dirha Qazi - Pakistan

A drop of my Heart escaped my existence.

Burgeoning, expanding, embracing the ambience

Crawling upwards, Pushing against the bars;

Dancing and laughing upon the world’s Transience

Escaping, as if nothing ever held it in past...

Colors by Mirza Asfandyar Baig - Pakistan

Like a black null void

It slithers in ruins

Only painted

In the darkness

Revering it profoundly

Whilst I paint the canvas...
