I write stuff that I don’t mean usually
In other words… I had written those poems months and years ago. They don’t reflect my state of mind or what I feel. But for some reason I like them because I am not a poet and poetry doesn’t come naturally to me. Just wanted to post them here.
Loneliness
The fire of loneliness
Burns my every single pore
Consumes my soul
Minute by minute
Sunday
Sunday was just like any other day
Before you left for the world
Heard of yet unknown
Memories
Today
I burnt
All the gifts
Love notes
Greeting cards
Everything
That smelt of him
I’m
I am alone
Flustered
Helpless
Trapped in the box
Behind the walls
In the well
Under water
Suffocated
Dying second by second
Pain
The pain of separation
Has frozen like an ice
On the mountain top
Only the tender
Feelings of love
Would melt it
















Beautiful haiku like poems, dispersed in their own existence…Poetry or another form of art does not have to reflect the way an artist feels, but how others feel.
I think you have written them very well in its universal sense.
Keep up the good work.

They are beautiful short poems! What I liked was the economy of words that you used to describe intense emotions.
Keep them coming!

Very nice…
I liked the Memories. Its bit interesting conflict.
Its been for me forever.
Memories are never constituted with gifts/cards/letters/sms/pics/emails/places etc
I can destroy every tangible thing and leave behind the places and times but still I cant escape memory!
I cant escape my experience because that is what I am. I cant stop myself being me.
I cant lie to myself that her pleasant body odor was sweeter than this fragrance.
Memories… Khudaya chheen ley mujh sey haafiza mera…
