Mehreen Mujeeb Poems

Don’t make reason a symptom to live;
Know what it is, don't show what it is
Symptoms need reasons to affect the disease
What we inject into the disease needs a reason to secrete.
...

My wings are broken,
Because you discouraged me
My tender heart is bruised
Because of all the rocks you threw
...

Your garden is full
Your fruits look sweet
Your flowers look innocent
Your grass is a dreamy green.
...

Clouds swirl
They drizzle in my mind
Turning dirt into mud.
...

A star’s shine
Is like a bouquet of ignited needles
Our eyes are sewn by cross stitching
Yet the needles do not pierce them.
...

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

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

You were in your car
You saw a car crash
There you sat
Took your seat belt off.
...

We forget
We’re humans in disguise
We lust for angels
We lust for demons
...

Under the blood-red sky,
Fall the red-blood tears,
Of the clouds’ blood-shot eyes
Upon the red roses,
...
