Cold as Wind
Cold as wind, burning like an ember
Maybe I’m acting like December
Nights are lonesome
Souls are all chocked
The streets are all empty
Scenes are all smogged
Wintry mornings wrapped in white
I know it’s soothing I’ll be alright
Gushes all silent, heavens all clear
I am at the end of my twenty-second year
In this poem, Urooma Niyaz paints a wintry landscape, reflecting a sense of solitude and transition as she navigates the end of her twenty-second year.
The Little Rebel
A usual morning at the last of the Year
Trees and skies were as usual clear
Surrounding was hidden in white smog
Channels were about to write a new catalog
Clean shoes and uniform to wear
Getting ready without any fear
Burdened bag at the end of term
He was on his way with belief, firm
Without knowing about the last farewell
Walked away smiling, The Little rebel
He was too Young for shells to hear
Poor little was someone’s dear
White uniform turned into red
Blood, bodies, everywhere spread
He wasn’t so brave
Not an adult, So in a grave
The poor, little, ambitious soul
Resting in peace, burying his goal
This poignant piece contrasts a seemingly ordinary morning with a tragic, unexpected end, capturing the innocence lost in the face of violence.
The Silence of Absence
A question started with Why
Your behavior was all dry
Ye didn’t even make any try
To console me, when I cry
Where were ye, when I was alone
I feel alienation in thy tone
I called ye and you were gone
Neither ever appeared nor shown
Why are you silent, answer me
I waited for every cup of tea
And I tried very hard to see
Where were ye when I needed thee
Here, Urooma Niyaz explores feelings of abandonment and the longing for comfort, expressing a deep sense of betrayal and isolation.
Goodbye Teen
Although, life has been so keen
I’ve enjoyed every blue and green
Not all the sceneries and scenes
But I’ve watched things, on screen
While studying, fats and proteins
I turned from a human to a machine
Now it seems, The world has been
Waiting for me to leave my “nineteen”
I don’t want to behave so meanly
But it’s time to say: “GOODBYE TEEN!”
This reflective poem marks the transition from adolescence to adulthood, capturing the bittersweet farewell to youthful innocence.
A Farewell to Tears
Hey, tears!
Nothing to do with you
And with the time we spent
Don’t follow me anymore
I feel sick of your scent
I know when I was alone
Ye snugged me as your tenant
But now I want to be happy
Can’t pay any more rent
Please let me go off
And live the life I meant
In this piece, Niyaz bids adieu to sorrow, seeking liberation from past pain and embracing the possibility of a happier future.
The Enchanted Gaze
Eyes deep as a swan’s lake
One can’t adore a single take
Shining hair as clear Cascade
Shadow soothes like
thick shade
Every wink sounds like applause
The heart also wants to take a pause
Words drip from the mouth like petals
Steps sound like soft rattles
Lovely he is from head to toe
Awaiting eyes are standing in a row
Niyaz describes a mesmerizing presence with enchanting imagery, celebrating beauty and the impact of a captivating persona.
Rain Promise
If rain starts to fall down
Wear it as a savior gown
It’ll soothe you with the essence
Of my existence beyond the fence
Time flew like an eagle’s flight
Loved ones turned out of sight
But someday, somewhere
We’ll meet without any fear
Of being lost due to time
Or being without exact rhyme
This poem offers solace and hope, suggesting that even amidst separation, there remains a promise of reunion and connection.
