Nosheen Irfan Poems

Love is just a sapling in my heart
with pale leaves trembling
on its brittle branches
...

Summer still persists
In September sunshine
My city still sweats
From the labour of the lowly
...

Something falls too hard...near or far

A smash answers the wind's call
A child's cry drowns out the cloud
...

Sing me a song
my spirits are low
Through the rustling trees,
speak to me
...

A head full of steam
Bubbling, bursting
Thoughts going round
And round silent screams
...

You think you can hold me down
Keep me in a servile state
You think you can have your own
Unmindful of my feelings and desires
...

Far into the night
My dream comes alive
I burst into bloom
When I remember your smile
...

What's beyond reach
Heart yearns
With a maddening rush of blood
How absurd to chase
...

The impalpable passing of time
The intangible sailing of life
Make you realize you live
in abstractions
...

Lets walk through this day
Clutching the remnants of hope
Our eyes still shimmer with dreams
Our hands still move to glean
...
