Micropoetry

Sweet Poison

Khalid Mukhtar · December 21, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Sin is sweeter
Than the sweetest honey
Drain the glass, you’re
In paradise

Watch the time turn
What’s warm and sunny
Feel the wind blow
Your heart to ice

Friday

Khalid Mukhtar · December 20, 2019 · Leave a Comment

The Thursday sun is in its grave
So flee the darkness for the cave
And drown yourself to ride the wave
Now dry your face and kiss the sand

Silt

Khalid Mukhtar · December 19, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Generosity is a river
Every river has a source
And the source is the farthest from
Where the rivers ends, of course

You’re just the silt on the banks But, thanks

Keep Walking

Walk the path
Heed the sign
Break a rule?
Pay the fine
Walk the path

Idioticked

It’s alright, son
I know it makes you sad
But acting like an idiot
Isn’t even half as bad
As being one

I know

Enough’s Enough

‪You look in the mirror‬
‪And see your reflection‬
‪But then there’s another‬
‪Large mirror behind you‬

‪You chase down reflections‬
‪And get to the last one‬
‪That last one you found there‬
‪While trying to find you‬

‪Yes, that one. No, THAT one‬
‪That’s tending to zero‬
‪You know you can’t see it‬
‪Although it can see you‬

‪It’s laughing at you‬

Tree

Forbidden tree
Forgetful mind
A devil’s plot
In a scheme Divine

What is, is not
What is not, is

Whale

Khalid Mukhtar · December 1, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Inside the beast
Within the sea
How near the sound
Of prophet’s plea

What is, is not
What is not, is

Baby

Khalid Mukhtar · November 30, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Their dancing tongues 
In faithless cheeks
The mother, silent
The infant speaks

What is, is not
What is not, is

Yāsīn

Khalid Mukhtar · November 29, 2019 · Leave a Comment

ʿAlīy remains,
No fear about.
Yasīn, on a breath of
Yasīn, steps out.

What is, is not.
What is not, is.
