The Irony
Hammad Mar 2021
The noises
don't let me sleep
at the day
And The Silence
Keeps me awake
At Night

A Raging river
Hammad Feb 2021
Sometimes,
Love is like diving into the raging river,
It keeps throwing you
into the cold and turbulent current
and you find yourself
being ****** into a whirlpool,
swirling down to the river bed

It scours out
the traits and traces of you
It tests your grit
everyday
and Everyday you find the courage
to dive again,
tread the waters
and just keep learning
to stay afloat...

The Chaos In me
Hammad Jan 2021
The noise inside my head
is so loud
that it doesn't let my voice in

and yet,
Something in it changes
all the chaos and swirl
fall into silence
when You Speak...

Two Rivers Banks
Hammad Jan 2021

For million miles

Unreachable

Old Habits Die Hard
Hammad Jan 2021
You were long gone
My Dear!
But for some reason
I kept sending you
The Postcards
and now I know
Why they say
"Old habits die hard"

Let go
Hammad Jan 2021
What needs to let go
must be let go
- There's no other way around
How can you fly
with the dead weight
weighing you down?

The Desire to Love
Hammad Jan 2021
The desire to love
and be loved
is hard wired
in every human being

No matter, how hard you try
You just can't
Pull the plug
Or pretend
You don't care...

Don't you see

The moon can't stop
pulling the tides
even it is
A Dead Sea...

When It's you
Hammad Jan 2021
The cellphone beeps
throughout the day
hundred times,
and every single time
I know the buzz
when It's from You
- It makes my heart
skips
a beat or two...

The Truth

The Fault in Us
Hammad Jan 2021
We humans
are the most ungrateful species
We don't learn to appreciate things
Until they are
Taken away...

Vertigo
Hammad Jan 2021
I woke up to a nightmare
and the next thing I knew
the world started spinning
so I closed my eyes
and hoped
to see it gone
but It didn't
I couldn't moved   an inch;
It's like my mind
tried to tame  
the chaos in me
which in turn
becomes
the violent whirling
and now my world is
upside down...

The Light in my Eyes
Hammad Jan 2021
The moon borrows the light
from the sun

reflects your love...

The Reasoning
Hammad Jan 2021
You left
Without saying anything,
So I assume
There must be a strong reason
to leave
Or perhaps
I couldn't see
the writing on the wall
because
There was no reason
to stay at all

The Prison
Hammad Jan 2021
It's never about How strong the cage is
Or how high the bars are;
I have seen people
Spending lifetime
In their 'own shell'

New Year's Eve
Hammad Dec 2020
On the New Year's Eve,
As the clock hits midnight
and marks the new beginning
- The show begins
In a flash,
the night sky
gets lit on fire,
Fiery flowers hissing and fizzing,
their crackle and boom
steal the silence,
and in the midst of this frenzy;
I begin to ponder
that with each passing year,
we are racing towards - our destiny,
so I look back
and question myself
to contemplate
the mistakes I made,
the promises I break,
the unrealistic goals - I set,
and in this moment
I know why many of us
(when entering into the new year)
misses the mark
just like the kids who were
shooting rockets - in the dark...

A Quiet Place
Hammad Dec 2020
They say her heart
Is a quiet place where
Nothingness rules,
There exist a vaccume,
Or perhaps  
a mere void...
What they don't know is
that the quiet places
speak louder
if you slow down enough
to listen...

A Magical Whirlpool
Hammad Dec 2020
It's true,
Love has the uncanny ability
to cast spells
so I made sure
that It's not my mind
Playing tricks on me
But still
when I traveled
into those fathomless eyes,
I find myself
In the middle of an ocean
like a helpless boat
Caught in a magical whirlpool
and now I am
Sinking fast...

The Three Dots (...)
Hammad Dec 2020
We don't need the perfect words or metphors
If we truly care for someone;
We don't need them
-Describing
how they feel...
all we need to know
is to see,
if our heart
skips a beat
or two
when they are
- Typing...

Love is Magical
Hammad Dec 2020
We often seek love
with mind and logic
not knowing
that in its world
It lets us walk
on water,
It lets us see
the rainbows
in pitch-black darkness,
It takes us
to the moon and back
It fills the void
In our souls,
It lets us plant
the seeds of hope
In barren lands
Don't you see?
Nothing in this is rational
My Dear!
Everything in Love,
and its world is Magical...

The Fire Within
Hammad Dec 2020
In the midst of sheer darkness
Why seek the light

Set your soul
On Fire

Time Travel
Hammad Dec 2020
So near and yet so far
The Past was here,
a minute ago
but the present has built the wall
and now no matter what you do
It can't be reached here at all
Unless we travel
to a Distant Star...

A willow tree
Hammad Dec 2020
Somewhere
in the green meadows,
A young twig asked
What happens to those
who do not bend?
They break apart
- A Willow tree replied.
Hammad Dec 2020
Sometimes,
In the darkest hour
All we need to do
is to close our eyes
and let the heart
walk us straight
and we will find the light
at the end of the tunnel...

Dreams
Hammad Dec 2020
Some unfulfilled dreams,

Invincible
Hammad Dec 2020
The moment
you walk away

The Bright Side of Pandemic
Hammad Dec 2020
This pandemic
is taking a toll
On our lives
But,
On the bright side
It has also exposed
Many Faces
Wearing "Masks"...

Tangled
Hammad Dec 2020
The world
is nothing
but
a web of deception
Do not get your soul
tangled too well,
In the end
there will be left nothing
but regrets
in the ember and ashes
of time.

Catching Snowflakes
Hammad Dec 2020
It's another wintry night
and a moment ago,
I was dreaming
catching snowflakes
with you...
The dream is over now,
There are no more
cabins
and pine trees - of the North
but the Night,
is still cold
and somehow
I am still
feeling your warmth...

Life is not a Dice
Hammad Nov 2020
Life is not a dice
that you can roll
and blame it on fate.
don't you know
the outcome
is not a stroke of luck
or random at all
the moment its thrown
the forces of earth,
air and table
- take the reins,
dance together
and seal your Fate.

Ocean in my Eyes
Hammad Nov 2020
Your love
has dried up the ocean
in my eyes,
so when the pain
seeps in,
I pour the wine
of your thoughts
in my pen
and let the words
(I write to you)
get high
and cry...

The heart speaks through eyes...

If love becomes the Ocean
Hammad Nov 2020
If love becomes the ocean
then you'd be the shore
and like a tide
I would wash upon you
every now and then,
and leave you

Into the love
Hammad Nov 2020
Once more
Into the love
Into the never ending reign

Doubts are like Black holes
They will consume the stars,
The Galaxies
that you had built
Together...

Fear of the Unknown
Hammad Nov 2020
Sometimes
Our biggest fear
Is the fear of unknown
It's when we seek
Shelter
In our own self
and slowly crawl away
from reality
It's when we don't
recognize
the blessings we have
and let our soul
crave for more,
It's when we start
running
Chasing the facade
Knowing it well
- How it's going to end
It's when the instincts
take over
Our other senses,
rendering us
Helpless
- In the face
Of overwhelmingly odds...
I always wonder
Why can't we
Face this fear
Head-on?
What happens will happen anyway...

Free Bird
Hammad Nov 2020
As stubborn as the Tree

but you
My Dear,
are a free bird
You can migrate
anytime you want...
