'HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, GUILT COMPLEX

GUILT COMPLEX

Enclosed in a shell like a tortoise,
Keeping away from the lively movements & noise,
My own I fail to recognize,
Do not shake hands with me please
I am no more, no more at ease,
I suffer from a guilt complex,
Was I the one to destroy a friendship
Or lose my temper in a relationship.
The other day I threw some litter on the road,
Turned a deaf ear to the call for prayer,
I suffer from a guilt complex
I am amazed at my faults.
Have I them or have I not?
Is it just the state of my mind
Or has somebody without cause have me to remind
Of a non-existent situation,
Will I ever surface, 1 suffer from a Guilt Complex.

'HARMONY' POEMS BY ZEENAT IQBAL HAKIMJEE, ROMANCE

ROMANCE

I love you, my dearest, my cherub,
The sunset and sunrise are for me a spectacle & to
behold
Because of your warmth I do not feel the cold
Of the cloudy, dark winter nights,
Logs to burn I need not, nor do indeed the light.
Tomorrow is always a day to look forward to.
In your company life is a bundle of joy.
A tear rolls down my cheek, and shines and
sparkles
It beautifies my skin and gives it a certain glow
In your adulation it had to flow.
I captured to kitten through your eyes,
And whispered a lullaby by your sound
Togetherness should last and last.
I am in love, I am in love.
