Micropoetry

Prejudice, Lost

Khalid Mukhtar · January 22, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Lost prejudice,
like a misshapen
jigsaw puzzle piece
that snaps in and
imbues you with
that wafting-petal sensation
of sad, silent beauty.

Be the wind

Khalid Mukhtar · December 6, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Be the wind that shakes off leaf

Or be the leaf and fall

Or be the stalwart steady tree

That stands to see it all.

Into it

Khalid Mukhtar · December 5, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Reason keeps you out

To follow your heart you must

Just go intuit

Hearts

Khalid Mukhtar · October 3, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Everything

Set against the flow of all we bring

But there is no stopping what may spring

From hearts that beat together.

Staying

Khalid Mukhtar · July 18, 2017 · Leave a Comment

the mass of information

the gravity of knowledge

the weight of intelligence

and the buoyancy of wisdom

Not So Much

Khalid Mukhtar · July 17, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Not so much what is written
But how it’s read
Not so much what is spoken
But left unsaid

While the Sun Shines

Khalid Mukhtar · July 5, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Yes the sun is still shining
Know the waters are cool
Hey it’s just hay, won’t go away
So dip in your toes, brother fool

Children and War

Khalid Mukhtar · July 4, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Fire in the skies
Rubble on your street
Water in your eyes
Washing out deceit

Sweet be your patience

Consequences

Khalid Mukhtar · June 29, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Cloud and rain, breath and brain
One must blow that the other remain
Dusty leaf and pregnant thought
Lost in the cloud your breath has brought

Word and Wind

Khalid Mukhtar · June 28, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Word like wind cuts through you
Withers all but true you
