Lubna Hazeem Poems

Im scarred and hurt by my own necessity
Fumbling through the desert for serenity
I hear the whisper of lusted perfection
In the vast deserts of self-affliction
...

Searching for better views
I've never been this much reduced
And every road I've crossed
Has brought me back to where i was
...

This place seems so deserted
Everyone's taking care of thier own affairs
And im left alone with scattered pieces
Of the twisted swirling spiral stairs
...

I had a chat with a man called destiny
Who wore the clothes of itchy despair
He said he lost track of his enemies
While wandering off to lands of nowhere
...

Im headed towards the ultimate road
Where skies are held where clouds do float
Im headed towards alternative hope
Where lights are sent where crowds are remote
...

Cultivating Poverty
Against the strength of penalty
Those are eyes pointing at yours
Where the rain tumbles at doors
...

Sustained by unconditional health
How frustrating to reinvent ourselves
Deep inside my soul
I glimpe a fractured door
...

Mingling rhythms cleansing my mind
Tingling senses have arrived in time
Feeling the world has a hidden ploy
Crawling beneath its angry voice
...

This life holds hymns and chants
But to me i have made no plans
I lift my pride with empty hands
A superstition's who i am
...

Lean a little closer to me
I want to whisper my agony
Without words, only humming
Only you know me for nothing...
...
