M. Asim Nehal Poems

My heart is without anchor
It sails in all directions

You took my heart and tried to tie it down
...

Yes, it was raining
When I first met you
I saw umpteen desires
Dancing in your eyes
...

Born on one of the streets of an urban city
Grown under the protection of my mothers’ care
Learned the tricks to survive on the busy roads
...

On million waves, I travelled across
Emerged from the darkness of the sea

I am still waiting for someone to pick me up
...

Your eyes are pools of darkness
Where my heart flows aimlessly
Bruising the sides of twilights
Between the dawn and the dusk
...

garden of delight
where the birds sing melody
bumble bee dances
...

Come, fill my eye with desire and heart with love,
The garden is ready for spring:
The buds have formerly started to blossom,
How may I remain in darkness, when sun has risen.
...

How often we put ourselves in someone's shoe
And emerge being the other person or least think like them?
More often than not, we never
What to blame and whom to hold responsible?
...

Human character stands naked in front of greed,
From time immemorial those have been born,
Knows the truth that one day they will depart
But in order to keep their name alive, they struggle
...

The twinkling of stars on a warm night,
The cries of geese as they take flight,
I look passionately in hope towards the sky,
As the firefly flutters with blinkering sight.
...
