Mehreen Mujeeb Poems

Hey sky?
Please carry me in your breeze
In this world my shoulders freeze.
Hey sky?
...

Dark horse
In white light
Do the rays filter you pure?
...

Red and blue spots
Fill the spaces my eyes see
My neck is sore
From protracting in different axes.
...

Looking down at possibilities
From the edge of a terrace
Lost in balance and decision.
...

There is nothing wrong
With my life,
But then again,
Not much is right.
...

If I could write a poem
Of how I felt inside,
It would not go like this
I've too much and too little pride,
...

This is not an act of martyrdom
Nor a demonstration of grace
This is merely to express a truth
That you deserve to face.
...

In the midst of the absent sound
There is a silence so profound

Where the heart can beat
...

These last few times,
Have been dark,
Like a seed in black soil,
Emerging into bark.
...

Dear sky,
Please let me be,
The rain tonight.
...
