Micropoetry

Hopeful

Khalid Mukhtar · October 3, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Between the stream of tears
And rocky hard terrain
There grows a sapling hopeful
Of mercy in the rain

Tread Softly

Khalid Mukhtar · September 20, 2019 · Leave a Comment

There are hearts strewn
Along the mile
Tread softly
Or stand still a while

Free, Absolutely

Khalid Mukhtar · September 16, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Diamonds in the river
Silver in the sea
Play of light and water
Absolutely free

Like the queen of Sheeba
Let the darkness flee
Sweet submission sets you
Absolutely free

On Your Way

Khalid Mukhtar · September 7, 2019 · Leave a Comment

There’s the journey
And there’s the way
Map your route
Plan your stay

Eat and drink
But break no heart
Cage your tongue
Before you start

Stop a while
Smell the flowers
Let their fragrance
Pass the hours

On your journey
On your way
You were never
Meant to stay

Brew

Khalid Mukhtar · September 1, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Knowledge, much like chai
Must be brewed well
Before it is poured

Bending

Khalid Mukhtar · August 31, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I have an idea
That ideas bend
Like light in a prism
And time at the end

Unreasonable at Sunrise

Khalid Mukhtar · August 20, 2019 · Leave a Comment

I need no reason
Not one for me to sing
The praises of the One Who makes me
One with everything

Who needs a reason
When all I’ll ever need
Is in the passing season and the
Splitting of a seed

Good Company

Khalid Mukhtar · August 17, 2019 · Leave a Comment

In life’s journey, there’s
no companion more faithful
than contentment.

Rise and Shine

Khalid Mukhtar · August 15, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Let the dusk wash over me
And plunge me into darkness for
Without is how I am within
It’s not the sun I’m longing for
I long for One Who lets me rise
To soak it in

Distracted

Khalid Mukhtar · August 8, 2019 · Leave a Comment

Be careful the good that you do
Doesn’t find its beginnings in you
Lest you stumble down potholes of sin
As you look up to how good you’ve been
