Two poems by Abeera Mirza

It is a rare event for #worthingflash to publish poetry. Thanks to Abeera Mirza for these two poems.

BETRAYAL 

When I think of you
My eyes fill with tears,
Sharing so many memories 
Together for so many years.

I lay on my bed, stare at the ceiling
So many endless nights.
Questions I keep asking myself 
Till the dawn of morning light.

Tears drench my pillow
An empty one lies next to me.
Just a vivid reminder
That you have left, set me free. 

Empty walls devoid of photos 
Where pictures used to hang.
Memories of our family 
Around campfires where we sang.

The good times we enjoyed
Adventures and games we played.
Hugging and kissing
In bed for hours, we stayed.  

The smell of cologne on a pillow 
Sends daggers through my heart.
So many years
Ripped and torn apart.

You will always be a part of me
In my dreams when I sleep.
The diamond ring is a reminder
 I will treasure and always keep.

  • REMINISCENCE

To savour life as tasting wine 
Decadence for taste refined
Of setting suns and changing leaves
Of carelessness and joy simplistic
Also of the intellect
In stimulation naturalistic 

Deterministic though it seems
Yet mingling with mystic dreams
Of happenstance, time and chance 
Of optimistic calculation
Also of the disconnect
Reality from expectation 

Elevation and ascension 
Memories too sweet to mention
Of love and loss, sentimental 
Of tender mercy and conviction 
Also of the retrospect 
Remembering the self-infliction

  “ You take forever to order just like with everything else, you haven’t changed at all have you?” A familiar voice with an unfamiliar face calls from behind. A long-lost friend welcomes unfamiliar emotions. We stare at each other in silence because I don't want to have small talk. I know her life ain’t easy, and at the same time, I still fall into the same small talk I desperately want to avoid. Cause just looking at her I know it’s not easy. Taking care of four kids by herself while working at Church's chicken ain’t nothing to even smile about. But I still ask her “How's everything” because I have no clue what else I should say to you. I want to make a joke, cause you know me as a class clown but life is no joke, and I know that better than anyone. Life's not fair in the slightest and I’ve always known that from being in foster care. Yet even I didn’t think life could be so cruel to just steal Rufina’s life from her. You tell me about how tough things ha...

Why was the door alarmed?

Image
"This door is alarmed". The door was also the emergency exit. The fire started in the hardware department. A battery exploded and soon the department was filled with choking black smoke. Customers rushed to the door. It was locked. By chance, there was a display of hammers. The manager, a big brawny bloke, grabbed a hammer and made his way to the door.. "Stand back, everybody." It was the sort of commanding voice people obeyed. He attacked the door with a will and smashed it so the grateful customers could escape. The door had a good reason to be alarmed.

The Legend of Loof Lirpa

Image
The Legend of Loof Lirpa Originally published on  April 01, 2021   In 1793 the health ministry of Norway was tasked with measuring the feet of all the citizens. The runaway winner of the contest was a little-known man called Loof Lirpa. His picture, alongside a picture of his feet with a normal-sized pair of feet for comparison, appeared in the newspapers of the day, there were two. The King awarded Loof a thousand Kroner which could be expected to keep him in comfort for the rest of his days. In those days there were no shoe sizes so Loof had to have his shoes specially made. Fortunately his father came from a long line of cobblers. Loof decided to set out exploring.  The first country he discovered was Denmark. Norwegians had heard of Denmark but hitherto they had thought of it as a mythic land inhabited by giants. Danes are similar in size to Norwegians and in fact Loof, with his prodigious feet, was regarded as a giant by them.  He was introduced to the King who ...
