Mahfooz Ali Poems

He seems to be only a dog.
But he is my other eye
that can see above the clouds;
my other ear that hears above the winds.
...

I built a castle in the sand
Carefully made a wall around it.
Surrounded it with a deep dike
Making a haven safe from outside strikes.
...

I stand here alone
Thinking about how insecure I feel.

Alone in a never ending zone,
...

Into the void of my soul,
through the eyes,
that where you stare.
...

Again and again though
hearts of the lonely mothers are burst.
Shedding their blood on thoughts
they loved and cared.
...

The eyes of a woman hold power untold.
With a wink or a coy stare a woman
can enthrall the heartiest of men.
What is the strength,
...

We all crave the freedom
We believe the kings of the sky posses
The freedom to fly, the freedom to soar
Look down on things below
...

So many words had been spoken.
But I couldn't get what is given.
Prose and poems had been written.
But I couldn't feel a thing even then.
...

The girl of my dreams
Oh, the girl of my dreams
comes wandering trough the night,
she walking, almost flying
...

Would I be somebody else,
And not who I am,
Like a famous musician,
And play a guitar?
...
