Best Resemblances Poems

Am I the one you dream of, 
Am I the one you prayed silently for with closed eyes at your bed side,
Am I the one you magnificently created of her figment,  
Deeply rooted and knotted in that dark part of your past.
Do you think...

I began reading Jane Anna Gordon's "Creolizing Political Theory"
from the back toward the front,
as usual,
because if I appreciate where this narrative journey will end,
then I probably will find we start off with similar questions 
of economic and political urgency right now.

And, also as is my...

Sometimes It seems
like I can still feel 
the rhytm of your heartbeat
Going up and down
together with mine
In its meek and deep 
beat so sweet
I melt in
As does honey
in my cup of tea.
So I blame them honey bees
for my weakened,  falling knees
for wanting  to...

Giving up,
we lose ourselves
in soft denials,
tally up bone-tinted
Kodaks – recall
brief glints of eye,
succinct resemblances
of generations. 

Listlessly,
we wait
death’s domination—
cool brushes
of wind,
flutterings 
of waxen wings
& last breaths,
dusky, distant
as the webbed
membranes
of memories....

the poet sheds one tear
on a hundred sentences
empty papers, unwritten years
locked exits, locked entrances 
the night brings her fears 
loneliness, ugly resemblances
so the poet goes to sleep
and she dreams of scenes
scenes that never existed

You can hear her at night
Her cries they horrify 
They cut through...

Vivid sketches,
a parade
of resemblances,
canvas afloat
before my eyes:
expressionist
impressionist
abstractions
locked forever
in time:
the familiar,
the muddled or
befuddled
inventive
imaginings
before me file,
to stay awhile
and truncate my day:
I contemplate
and marvel
the many things
to me they say...

Each needle on the pine quivers 
happily in the mysterious wind. 
Clouds flutter across the great blue 
sky with illusionary resemblances. 
Birds chirp, "Come outside and sit awhile. 
Spring is finally here!" 
Bugs buzz through the sun-warmed 
grass with each step. 
Rabbits hop lazily to...

Today I came across your picture, I almost shed a tear.
I faced the mirror, dug for resemblances of your features in my mixture.
There is no doubt you are my father
and I don't want to alter the design of our feather.
 
I am your son, from...

Maverick Free verse


My grandmother’s velvet covered album
was not coveted by any of my siblings. 
I pretended not to care so as not spark their interest, 
but I was happy when it was scorned by others. 
It is now in my possession and proudly
shown on my...

ONLY YOU
 
Poet: muhammad nawaz 



I Never Want Any Fame
Only You Are My Aim

The Flowers, Butterflies And Whispering Birds
Which You See Often In My Words

And All The Beauties In My Sentences
Are Just The Resemblances

These All Are No Doubt True
But Only For You

Never Think That Without...
