BOOKS

Hold on
Books have been burnt alive
Pages went unremarkable with the smoke of fires
Eyes can’t bare the Ash
A circle of wind took them up
Anger soothe the blaze of words
Yet
We wish for moment,
Holding tight and read the books

CHEMICAL REACTION

Maryam Hanif Aug 2018

CHEMICAL REACTION

Nothing lasts,
You’d always been an Anion,
Butterfly in my stomach, I’d always been your Cation
Like Acid and Base, we’d together neutralize..

Chemical reaction were not reversible, I wish they could lead you to survive
But alas, our fate is solitude leading to our deaths..

DEPRESSION

Maryam Hanif Jun 2018

DEPRESSION

I can't remember myself well... words are escaping me.
Depression has gotten hold of me, it's not exactly what you think. It's just missing words and mixed-up emotions.
Am I alive? or am I just a white soul?
I feel time moving slowly, I'm hearing voices hush, but the soul is taken away harsher...
I'm frustrated.
I wonder why?

Do you?

Maryam Hanif Oct 2018

Do you?

My heart is weak,
my soul is deep with words I can’t speak
But, will you understand?
I prefer to be in close proximity to your charming eyes
when words aren't enough to communicate this love
I’m in an endless race to catch your heart
Because my heart is weak,
and my soul is deep with words I can’t speak.
Do you love me
LIKE MY EMOLLIENT HEART DOES ?

this poem is written back then when I was at high school, to our dearest teacher..

GOOFY SMILE

Maryam Hanif Sep 2018

GOOFY SMILE

Everlasting, with your goofy smile
Do you still give the world’s warmest hugs?

Apprehensive, I was too weak to climb your fences
The refrain, gripping the laughter lost

Hands couldn’t off the black keys,
I step away at the meaningless madness

My flaws,
Digging to deep truth
Never blink to our beautiful goofiness

I was numb,
Deep in the wild breaths

From my second book "Nubivagant" which is on the way..

INK

Maryam Hanif Oct 2018

INK

time is racing with my pen when I ink the pages, creating oceans of woe we had for the little memories of you.

When you are apart, my heart prays for the hugs you always gives me..
missed you dad..

only last question remain,

Maryam Hanif Oct 2018

only last question remain,

"If you looked into my eyes deeply once, would you see what's inside my thoughts?"

TELL ME

Maryam Hanif Jun 2018

TELL ME

Tell me you love me, you trust me
The heartache left me with the warmth of stillness
When love melted away from my heart

Tell me you won't hide, or leave me
I need your reassurance
This distance seems to be endless

Tell me what the facts are
My thoughts are dancing with your death chords
I see faces glow but none of them shine as yours

Tell me

THE BEATS

Maryam Hanif Jun 2018

THE BEATS

With my head against your chest

I never knew how much would your heart beat say

Its beats have no end as my thoughts get messier

Time has stopped since I synched into your beats

Silence took over the moment without begging calmness to prevail

While the pages are turning to escape the present,

And forget the vows of our silent love for tomorrow

By closing my eyes, I was engulfed by the songs of your heart beats and their fear of the perfect imperfection

While your warm tear falls over my forehead

I drown in the tale of your beats

I was speechless

THE GRAY OF NAVY SHADES

Maryam Hanif Jun 2018

THE GRAY OF NAVY SHADES

When the skies are gray and
The aches play with emotions
The universe couldn't understand me, and neither could you.

When you go quiet and Won't let the calmness touch us
My throat starts aching but My voice can't obverse the fear
The universe couldn't understand me, neither could you

Through the cracks of wilderness
The rose never bloomed under the circumstances
While the grey storm clouds are forming
We may break but won't stay broken
The universe couldn't understand me, neither could you..

See my eyes are getting blurry and
The soul separates from the body
But promises are never kept
Yet your smile is bright.. completely blind to the world
The universe couldn't understand me, neither could you..

to my dear friend that broke up the friendship tho it was not my mistake..
