Rehan Hyder Poems

I wish there was another planet,
another reality.
I wish my skin colour
was not as mediocre as transparent
...

Have I asked for too much?
bitten a morsel so big
that made my said unsaid terms
get muddled in my glut
...

Sigh from mirage of your lips
Mist over panes of my eyes
I fumble and trip over a dream
I’m falling into your absence
...

On cerulean highway
not punctuated by
traffic lights buildings or biases
I stretched out and reached you
...

He hung on
mesmerized
to the deluge
of wisdom
...

Between father and son
spiritual DNA crosses over
untold stories of war
raise armies in sinews
...

A bear hug-she said:

Had to tell her I wear algae
reeks of extremism
...

A husky accented “Hi”
An act of concealment
Alack! ! very shoddy
Avers all the painfully mined
...
