Mahfooz Ali Poems

Cigarette in hand
cap on his head
leaving again
every week
...

There is a train running through my mind.
Non-stop keeps on coming at a speed of lightening,
rain is pouring on the tracks
Now you are wishing you never look back.
...

Small and 4x6 sized, old and tinged brown.
Like tea stains on the back.
Looking at it I see me, deceptive, smiling back.
...

I invite you to meet me where the water finds the sand.
Where the waves whisper a sea of secrets remaining untold.
I will be there when the moon shows it face,
and the sky has gathered a million stars as its blanket.
...

If a picture's worth a thousand words,
I'd paint a poem for You,
I'd finish with an artist's touch,
and mend it with the glue,
...

You are the child in me when are
you going to come out.
As you grow each day in me makes me
wonder everyday about you.
...

I keep telling myself theres no way
for anyone to feel this way
for another human being
there is no way my love for you will be leaving
...

Of the truth inside me
The pain and blackness
A heart of broken love
He said he loved me
...

Your internal rage
a fire so hot, you are burned by a thought
a passion so wild
the fire grows hotter, a thought grows near
...

A child's life should be carefree.
Whether enjoying the shade of a tree,
Or playing a game of cricket
His parents should be there if he should fall,
...
