Rehan Hyder Poems

Mental gratification …. Absent indulgence
or whatever be its final christening …
too abstract to subscribe to perimeters of abstraction
or accept authority
...

Like a lunatic
she had all my oceans rivers canals and seas
tied as her anklet
she ran with that racket
...

So there are unfinished breakfasts
paths choked by acid of accusations
china stained grey by your bitter adieux
...

I wish you strength
to rise
Whenever you fall
Reason and learn
...

I shall wait
I shall let the vindictive
Fingers of time gnaw at
My innards ala Chinese torture
...

It has been ordained
and inscription etched
in bloodlines
that I transport all your dreams
...

and stare at you for a minute
empty gaze of a child
on indigo punctuated with splayed silver
Cadence of my stare as it crashes
...

I’m resident of insanity
Here sopranos and altos are one
Weather never changes
And grammar and algebra outlawed
...

Nearby you seem

Now when I reach out and feel
...

and you think it alright
to maraud; unobstructed by fear, in
unfinished by- lanes of my mind
do you think your attire of nudity;
...
