Humna Hamid Poems

Through the misty swirls of broken thoughts
I passed the waterfalls you named unshed tears
And saw the single ray of hope
Piercing through the shadows of dark
...

Here I lie motionless, unperturbed
My lips still posed
From my last silent prayers
But breath no longer comes to me
...

Treading in the stalkers domain
She lives
She feeds
And keeps on trying
...

Forever present
A symbol of sacrifice
The bearer of violence
Ah! yet
...

I wrote my name on the seashore
The waves came and it was no more
I wrote my name in the air
The wind came and it was no more
...

Beyond the woods
The branching oak and canopy of leaves still abide
The bench is there
The leaves still fall
...

death is monotonous
in this black and white domain
the king falls,
when the queen is taken
...

They question-
The existence of lady death again
The spectacular fools!
They cannont see that life is but a mere mirage
...

Over the crumbling brick walled ledge
I peeked
Inside the well of sorrows
And thought i saw a spark
...

If i were a mere reflection of myself
Would i see the scarred soul of my flawless face
The haunted look in those doe like eyes
The bitterness in that frozen smile
...
