M. Asim Nehal Poems

I reside between your breaths
like the moon between stars
like the waves in the ocean
like the wind passing leaves
...

On the edge of your heart,
I saw my tiny love crawling.
Staring assiduously to get noticed,
Defying the security of firewalls.
...

Your body is a moving mirror
It reflects my ledge of shadows
Cling to the moonlight through goblet
Hanging like the droplets.
...

Poured from the bottles
Mixed with the ice cubes
Bubbles making way to the frogs
Jumping up and down
...

The stillness of the night
Cuts me to pieces
Small enough
To keep disintegrated
...

a deafening sound
as the airplane flew away
valley of mountain
leaving behind, trail of past
...

Don't show my glowing face,
don't reflect my true image,
I see a false in it,
It is like a mirage.
...

two dancing flowers
with the breeze from the heavens
soothing for my eyes
...

I live two lives
one on the exterior,
and one within my head.
You will see an abyss -
...

flocks of flamingo --
after day's hard work in fields
a tangerine sky.
...
