Delusions Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Delusions

Rating: 5.0


God
I used to say,
I am a god of my own-self,
Today,
My head is lying in the dust,
And my eyes are looking at my head,
Like a convicted-felon looks at the innocence;
Of his dying soul…

God
I used to say,
Nothing is impossible for me,
Today,
I am dying of hunger;
With lust in my eyes,
I stare at a leftover loaf by a dog,
But I find no hands to pick it up…

God
I used to say
I love her more than I love You,
Today,
I am sitting alone in my dreary room,
Waiting for her to come,
She never comes,
And I see You,
Wiping away the tears
From my sodden cheeks…
