Hanging Around

Khalid Mukhtar · August 12, 2023 · Leave a Comment

There’s a stack of air
Just hanging there
Between the Japanese maple
And the lazy white hydrangea
It’s such a stack of air

It’s a lovely shape
With a fragrant flair
Fully taking in its staple
Of the morning sunshine can’t you
Just taste that snack of air

I don’t think it’s moved
From it’s leafy lair
Where it appears to stay still
Encased by petal candy, oh
I’m done.

Stay On It

All the world is a sign
That a hope is your way
If the only thing you fear
Is an act where you stray
That displeases the One

With a will that melts glaciers
And freezes the sun
Cling well to that hope
And nurture that fear
Till the journey is done

Don’t Answer The Door

Khalid Mukhtar · August 8, 2023 · Leave a Comment

Despair comes knocking often in these times
Its droll and dreary beat upon your door
Conjuring up images of your crimes
Until your shattered heart can take no more
khalid acknowledge your deficiencies
While there’s no good in lying to yourself
Your mad frustrations only serve to please
The demons wishing ill upon your health
But sit upon a rock and let the air
Remind you of the one who’s heart was filled
With grief that his beloved wasn’t there
To nurse him when a rain of stones had stilled
  The heavens sending prayers upon a man
  Content revived and pleased with Allah’s plan
