! ! ! Remainder (Kuch Reh Gaya Hay) Poem by Rehan Hyder

Something remains
From nerves, breath and
In circumambulation of blood
Around heart
Something that breaks free
From tip of fingers
And reach out to engirdle
the nude maid of paper
Didn't I tell you way too often
I love you
Cleaving yourself from me
Separating and telling
From me to you --I love you

But then what is it
That loaf streets of senses like mutt
And it's an inmate with me
In the glacial tides of mind

Now when you ever swing by
You'll find it sticking its foot
Out of the door of heart
Take away this reckless rogue
Take it away its yours

My name that once lived in your mouth
