Usman Hanif Poems

When rivers stop to flow, winds cease to blow
stars fade to glimmer, darkness start to glow
thoughts become words, words become feelings
the curtain of eyes fall, while starts the show
...

I wonder where does the horizon lies
The brink of earth or the depth of the skies
His steps get the counting finished
And still it moves away until he dies
...

It's raining outside, the earth is dry
worries burning inside, no tears to cry
the earth is barren, but ox ready to tether
no cloud around, but gloomy is the weather
...

It rained...
She sat there
gazing at the sky
as she was seeking the lightning
...

Don't leave my glass empty
Listen to what i want to say

Keep me away from the taverns
...

I know the ancient techniques of yours
you tried to use them on me
I know know the grinding teeth of yours;
You tried to use them on me?
...

Shackled brain, encrypted words
Shortened way, predicted actions
Keep the memories away from me
Those memories would fly away...
...

Their shadows passing there by
The long que of waiting desperate patients
with their spirits as if ready to fly
Wardboys with empty bottles pass by
...

The eerie light in my sombre life
Bring me the mysteries of afterlife
One mystery is up ahead
still unsolved...
...

Find me in my subliminal home
You'd be found playing
with the children of my neighbors
whom i always tormented...
...
