Impressions

And then dreams
Long and persistent
Take me off to you beloved you
Not unlike when all in me turns cold
I should find life vigorous and strong
Ringing the bells
Of my soul’s dingy door
Asking permission
To let me be again


And in the day the sun comes shining
So tender in me you melt
Leaving only
An impression of warmth

55-The Cage

Fidgeting between

Discordant tones

Lashing me             

With expectations

To be something

And I envy the space

For its inexistence

And I push a thumb

Into my ear

I can’t hear

But that doesn’t make me deaf

I peel the pictures

Off my memory

Incinerated

Before me

Light light

Flying

Within the bars of the cage

Check Out G-Man 

Pendulum

Wise man sits on the top of a tower

Saying tears turn to pearls

Mine came crashing at my feet

And now I’m bleeding

Evil and good

Wrestled tonight on my threshold

I locked the door

Sank under the quilts and pretended

I was deaf

Politicians and Presidents

Movies and celebrities

Jewels and glitter

I just squeeze myself between the cracks

Hanging photos on dusty walls

A girl who wore pink dreams

Torn at the edges

Last seen

Two years ago

I tiptoe so I wouldn’t’ disturb

Extremes fighting within me

On my way to the candy shop

Just around the corner

Of yesterday

At the end

I am only a sack of

Twisted nerves  

There Were Never Any Rats

Trapped behind a window

Strewn on the dirty floor

My heart seeks  blankets

Of the sky’s velvet black

Yearning as they are

Beyond my tiny fingers

Beating underneath

The words unsaid

Their pulse now causes me

A daunting sore throat

That forces me to hold my breath

Halt then talk

And I don’t know  what they are

Nor can I call them a name

Beyond description?

Ambivalent thoughts

And they keep my windows closed

Afraid of the rats’ scratching

Seething as they see me

Breaking their precious laws

I hold my  protests

And then unleash them

Small pebbles

Breaking their mighty glass walls

And I’ll see them screaming

Secretly smiling

Until they come

And close the door

The day is impending

Still not scripted in my plans

When I’ll break my shields of silence

Pulverize their lands

Scatter them on the moon

And sing

“There were never any rats”

Metallic Paints

Hours giving way to timelessness

Dreadful present  swallows me

Tomorrow and yesterday

A shadow and reflection

Never to be felt again

With darkness suffused

And now they fade        

You threw a stone

Broke the window

Almost stealing my heartbeat

Towing me to underlying existence

Beneath their metallic paints

Those dreams our dreams

They hide and breathe

Offsprings of their prohibited

Our never to be real screams

Let’s seek alternative shelter

Beyond what they can reach

Listen! Their sirens

Have come here too

Where else to go Where else to go?

Those dreams our dreams

Are but forged fancies

To soothe ourselves by lies

They caught us long ago

Behind their metallic-painted bars

55-Reruns

Tick Tock
My present is passing

As I stand here alone

Watching from a distance

Reruns of the past

Tears

Break my shields

And you slip through the holes

Making me sink in you

Drowning my soul

The scars are fading

Only me and you remain

The pains are  aching

Only me and you remain.

Check Out G-Man

Waiting Hours

Beyond me

Beholding me

Three walls

And a  single door

Never shall be but closed
A brain

Your breaths

Your fidgets

Slowly time flows

As you are

And I am

Dissolving into air

The thoughts

Of words

Quickening your heart alone

As you sit

And I stand

Withdrawn

From your heart

In mine

I hold the secret of it all

Oh , love now

Wind down

For nothing can hurt us

Not  anymore

Dancing on Spider Webs ـــ Poem

The untrodden places in the mind

Where dreams flourish still

Imprisoned birds in cages

Of crude reality

Freed by the hour’s fantasies

Where I rule and cannot be ruled

World as fragile as

Spider webs

Wounded is the soul

From yesterday’s slap

In anguish she ruminates

Of retaliation and striking back

But no power left in her

To even sigh

Away, she runs away

In denial of

The irrefutable past 

Apology

In my latest post which was a poem I accidently deleted, I wrote that it was written by my 12 year-old cousin. Sorry to say that it was written by me when I was 12; I believed that all the stuff I wrote back then were real bad that's why I was afraid to say it was mine. I am very sorry for doing that and hope that you'd accept my apology :)

Here's the poem:

In love with you

Without any plan it comes

And I start thinking of you

My soul it haunts

No I can't let go

I see you whenever I close my eyes

I know I fell my heart never lies

I hear your voice whispering in my ears

Erasing all my fears

In your touch I feel so secure

 For all my pains you are the cure

                             

 They say there is no magic

Then tell me what love can be

In every place I see your eyes

In your eyes I see me

On our hearts it put a spell

So simply in it we fell

It was so strong

I could not resist

I lived every song

My dreams I felt

I don't care for the others

They don't feel the fire of us the lovers

I'm not afraid of tomorrow

As long as you are with me

I have my light to follow

You are my destiny

You are the one my life is about

I love you

                                        

I don't have a doubt

You are my wildest fancy

Better you are true

You came and stole my heart

I didn't know what to do

Then I found myself

Falling in love with you

Timelessness

In a spaceship
Faster than light
Time ceases to be

Ageless now
Thoughts intertwine
And will we ever meet again?

What do you think
When you are trapped
In a hurricane?
What do you feel
When you can't escape?

Squeaking rats
Just outside the window
Keep it close
And suffocate

Images communicate
Themselves to me
and I can't verbalize
What you are
So i condemn you
And you are not
You are naught
But still you insist
I'm just a lousr painter
I'm just a bad writer

One more sand grain
Still lost
In the whirlwind
Of timelessness

Again

Within us, everything was doomed to eternal silence; stilling the sound of blood if it ran in our veins and hushing those desperate screams of life as it ruthlessly strangled it. We lost hope, and with hope, we lost everything.

You whispered to me that pain has infinity to it, ephemeral as the glistening of masks. But I could hold happiness not a moment longer than I could hold the rain. Again I found myself thinking of you. And again I found myself wondering. I never touched you, so couldn't you be a hallucination? But I remembered you were as untouchable as my own soul, yet I couldn't deny its existence. 

You said I was a drop in the ocean, but I was an ocean in a drop. 

You chose to jump to the world of two dimensions and I couldn't stop you. 

Behind the walls of a painting, my love resides

Free of Thought

I hear the rhythm                                

Of your heartbeats

Eerie whispers

Those won’t but stay

And I pray I pray

That you shall fade

But still

I hold on

I line you now

Within my head

And write you

A thousand words

You will never read

But still

I see your eyes

Devouring yourself

Through my own

I touched you once
And wept forever

Condemned you then

To be a dream
But still
You are 

Too real for surreality 

To Be

Doublethink

The right hemisphere

Contradicts with that

On the left and whence born

Is your head

Two eyes see in black

And white images

Collide double vision

Is blinding you

Forever see the world

In grey

Rectify.

The mistake that is

You wrong from head

To toe search

For answers within

Questions opening

Lost in the million

Facts all are true

Elude.

The halo around your

Soul ever muffling

The voices of others reducing

Them to useless whisper you

Often choose not

To hear

Delete.

Yourself is no individual

Smash your skull to

Be part of a greater

Entity  

We are all one

One

One

Big lie and you will

 Believe

Figured I couldn't be away for too long so I wrote this poem that perfectly describes my  day, my life I mean

Farewell Fornever

How I wish to recoil back to my dark solitude and let my eyes bleed for eternity. But alas! I am out of blood. And never again shall I wish for loneliness; it's embedded in my core.And what is it to be seen beyond the clouds but your face?


You never left me; a hidden fourth dimension to my existence.


Imperceptible


They never feel


Will never feel


The immortal  symphony of love


Breaching the sky


Out of sight is never out of mind


                              
Farewell fornever my dear

Theme Thursday: The Road Had No Signs

The road,

It has no signs

Trapped in a twilight

You walk

Shadow of a sun

Long gone

 When your lungs close in

Tell me

And I’ll breathe for you

My colors

They Dance

In your blankness

Oozing from

Unseen wounds

You try to fight

Find no strength

So you dance with them too

When your lungs close in

Tell me

And I’ll breathe for you

The words

You don’t know

It doesn’t matter

You’ll sing along

And I’ll sing with you

When your lungs close in

Tell me

And I’ll breathe for you

The sun

It shines

 “Our sign!”

I cry

On the ground

You falter

I scream

There comes no voice

I search

In your heart

No blood

It’s all in my veins

Embedded within me

My lungs  

They are closing in

Will you breathe

For me too?

55-The Beggar

A shot in the heart

Bereft

Of life

Footsteps on the snow

Wind wafts

And they slowly fade

Empty of feeling

Dreaming of being

A distorted soul

Untouched by joy

Longing to sleep

And to drift away

Screams

Masked by silence

Disconnected

A rootless tree

Craves belonging

And just

Drowns in darkness

Begging for light

Magpie Tales: Draining Out of Life

Blood

Creeps in veins

And retrieves

Those hearts as they beat

They drain out of life

Hollow silhouettes

Crossing the light of the sun

As they pass

A thousand thoughts

A thousand feelings

A thousand words

Reduced into one

Muffled screams

Silenced by fear

So turn a deaf ear

And don't say a thing

Feel the innards of your soul

Crumbling down

And you try to hide

You are dead inside

Going through life

But not living it

A ghost you've become

And in those shades

I perpetually wait

For the voids

To be reassumed 

For the dead

To be exhumed
