Mahfooz Ali Poems

How else to rely on plans?
So, the future we too see
a better place,
so we be careful
...

Lost and distraught
Trying to find out who I am?
And when I think I know
And I act out that role.
...

You sit beside me patiently
with eyes
of puppy dog brown.
...

Sometimes we need to be
reminded that there
are still some things
in this world that are good.
...

So frail,
yet so intense
A fleeting moment,
or a glorious day
...

Alone,
small room.
Hot and cold
lonely.
...

Sometimes it feels,
So near
So close.
Focus
...

Let us be thankful,
Let us be good,
Let us thank God, as we should,
Let us be grateful.
...

I fought the best 
I could,
But thoughts,
overpowered me,
...

Two senile men locked in an empty room...
one sits back and contemplates the other
while the other sits back and contemplates the first
they question, examine, analyse each other
...
