Nosheen Irfan Poems

Flowers are meant to wither
But they smile blissfully unaware
I'm scared of what is to come
Those fragile flowers have more dare
...

It was not love
The spring went and it went too
Like the rose it wilted too soon
It was not love
...

In each twig that breaks off
Like tired zest of an idealist
For the wind blew against it
Slapping and thrashing
...

I have no more words
To dress up love
In tailored language
Splayed on pages
...

You get tired
When you do nothing
And sit on aimlessness
Like a lost kitten
...

The sky's visage
Changed, as if by magic
From sunny flamboyance
To dark cloudy fury
...

Your face lights up my way
Far though it be
Its radiance reaches me
Breaking all chains
...

They stretched on pavement
From weariness of doing nothing
Under a sky, warm and bright
The shops were closed, the lights were out
...

I suffered because I loved you
You suffered because I loved you
I left you, you suffered still
I came back, you suffered more
...

The world blossoms again- -
After every fall, after every sigh
Gathering the pieces, covering the scars
The smiles sparkle again- -
...
