Usama Ahmad Rana Poems

Burning skin; dissolving fat
Sweltering heart of Arabian lands
Under the stone, over the sand
'Ahad! Ahad! ' says Umaiyyah's slave man
...

Oopie! what a sophisticated nose!
Complicated, conservative but indicative of your mode

Changes its shape in a definite rule
...

Just feel the wind rush over your wings
You're the one who's got the power of Rings

You're blessed, for others're confessed
...

You talk, I keep silence
Riding the every word you utter, my mind lost in a world
souls meeting leaving behind the body flutter
...

Living the most cheerful era of my life
Romantic it is, so securing
Arousing a rhyme, that much enduring
...

Soothing breeze unforgetful of dreams
a way too far to say just far to be

Cleaving cliffs against shearing winds
...

Admist the two, an object undefined
Illusion ruled out, clarity optimised
Dribbling of drops dropp by drop
Memorizing rhythm of their free fall
...

With those rough hands you handled me so soft
Petal is fragile; sepal to watch
I remember the way you kissed me that day
Wild and deep; calm but crazy
...

Let's get back to past for the circle of life never stops
Forget the mistake you made, I forgive you for all
Memories still as such, you in me again that much
Dissolving the recent past, asking for your consent
...

Illusion in mind; haziness in vision
Tremor in hands; fluctuation in rhythm
Memories in a flash; stillness in breath
Metal in flesh; calmness as stealth
...
