'HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, POSSESSION

POSSESSION

I own you, your every movement is mine
To do as I please
Why did you do this why did you do that
Raise your voice, or your eyelid bat
Its our of the question I won’t let you out of my sight
You belong to me only to me, you are my birth right
Just the other day your momentary absence felt like
multitude
Was it the toilet or were you astray,
I am suspicious, you I possess.
Do not leave me, I shall feel the betray,
Your look and smile elsewhere, your touch
Are all for me, me only,
From others, to be kept at bay
Do not ever make a start with darling, for another,
It will make the other want to come hither
I feel bold and beautiful in your presence
But am at a loss in your absence
I own, you, you I possess,

'HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, WHEATHER GENUINE CAUSE OF ANGER?

WHEATHER GENUINE CAUSE OF ANGER?

Enraged I stroll towards
The counter,
To involve myself in
A brutal encounter;
The salesman gave me rupees
Five less,
A gruesome mistake that
He should confess,
Was the well aware of it,
Or did the mistakingly did it,
Remains to be seen
Or is it
My frustration built in.
