nafisa baheranwala Poems

Ships that sail in the sea of life
That can help avoid sorrow and strife
Are there to help, when you are adrift
For they are, indeed, Fortune's gift
...

Birds fly
Soaring high
In the sky
Clouds part
...

In your bid to find closure
Did you really get closer -
When you opened up your heart
And upset the apple cart..
...

Whatever be the state of your wealth:
These are what will affect your health -
To me they are the ‘Golden three'
That can either bind, or set us free
...

Eyes blazing with desire
That transcends all peaks
A response from the beloved
It desperately seeks
...

When you leave something for later
It disappears from sight
So do it right now
Before day turns into night
...

There is negativity in the air
Hatred is being sown
Caring is now rare
For division has been sown
...

The sun seems bobbing
Up and down
With childish glee on the waves
It is reluctant to say goodbye to all
...

My mother, alas, is now no more
She has surely entered Heaven's door
But what she left for us behind
Will always remain in my mind
...

If you are lucky
You get to be a granny
And get showered with a loving smile
That stretches over a distant mile..
...
