Here’s a dark poem about love, loss and fear by Naheed – exclusively  
for Different Truths. 

Seems, an absolute
Tug of war is embracing defeat;
Weight of the desire
To marry vacuum, ascending 
Each while like an animal wild
Targeting the life hidden 
Within a hare white, sitting in
The bosom of greens

Alas! How vehement hegemony,
Of the gone, leads 
The sail of existence;
Befalling the Psyche numb
As doing everything still stills in something

Picture design Anumita Roy, Different Truths


Spread the love
