Mehreen Mujeeb Poems

It's a poison that doesn't kill
It's an elixir that won't fulfill.

The stars turn into blind spots
...

Microwaved tears crawl
Across bridges on my face
Fevered eyes
Don't know where to stare
...

There was a place
Where I could go
Where windows would turn to sand
And I would understand.
...

The moon’s light was
Smudged to a glow
Ploughed into the
Finger painted clouds.
...

Full moons have come and gone
More than once I born
With new scales and thorns
Blooming out of my new layers of skins
...

You hold
The torn pieces
Of my heart
Close,
...

I list the words
To describe
The dams in my mind.
Yet, I do not find.
...

She had her heart
Played around
Like plasticine.
It was molded
...

I know where I want to go
But I cannot find the way
I know numbers and words
But my mind won't let me say.
...

The weather forecast did not foresee
The clouds of climatic reality.

Separating possibility
...
