Mehreen Mujeeb Poems

That meteor is going to crash;
Crash into the layers of life
The layers of life would burn it into pieces.
But look,
...

Her armour is strong,
But you don’t see the strength within.
She fights her battles like lightening
But off the battlefield
...

The seeds you plant in your heart
Grow into flowers and thorns
Plant your seeds with good intentions
So your intention is born
...

As my pen’s ink dries
And I hear my heart’s goodbyes
I feel my life mortified
My heart takes my last few sighs
...

The brightest star in the sky
Is out shone by the dullest light in the street
Our eyes have stopped looking above
And fantasize about what is below.
...

Come on soldier.
Soldier?
Get off of your battlefield
Let me take you to a place
...

Look both ways before crossing her street
Because she cannot be seen if you seek her with your feet

She cannot be seen
...

Look into your mirror
And tell me what you see
Is it really you?
Or someone you cannot be
...

The ghost of the past,
Is but a distant memory
A haunting thought;
That erases,
...

People cough as they walk by the street
Because of the smoke that fills this heat
These decayed curls of air
Fill the air we breathe
...
