Two Micropoems by Nishat Jabeen

Eclipse

A thin line of eclipse
An impressive speck
Or a complete skew
This is how it threatens
My half-dozed mind
Shall ponder over
On the looming large rumination
Intertwines mind and heart
With a stark contrast
Let the battle decide
Whether the shadow fades or truth abides.

Alert!!

I wish
Our promises 
Should have a track 
Of long-lasting bring-off
Our shabby desires
In the backwoods of mind
Often goes off-track
Yet our senses
Call aloud
For a sense of self 
Altering...
Be serious!

Coffee With You and Four Other Micropoems by Dr. Shailesh Gupta Veer


Spreading 
---------------------------------
Storm in the mind
Downpour in the heart
Lightning in the brain
I'm swimming in the air
Spreading rays of love around me!

Coffee With You 
---------------------------------
Completely refreshed
Too much agility
Moments of joy
Worriless from the world
A cup of coffee with you!

Paradise 
---------------------------------
Yesterday meeting
Today shopping
Tomorrow sightseeing
Each moment with you
Feel! I'm in paradise!

Because 
---------------------------------
I am flying
I capture the wind
I create words and rhythm
from the breeze
You know...how?
Because
You're with me!!!

Never Leave Me 
---------------------------------
When you say,
"You're a genius."
I touch the sky!

When you say,
"You deserve it."
It seems that
The universe is in my fist!

Promise dear
Will never leave me!!
