In Time of Persecution

We have not seen the sun for days
walking through the deserts
craved the breeze of the flowers
and water to beat the thirsts

we've been mistreated
we've been misunderstood
our wives were raped
and brutally our children were killed

no mercy upon us, not now not ever
we're born to be outsiders, "I dream to be free''... never!
to fly like a little bird so far
far away from the suffer

cry upon me Mary
let there be light upon us Mary
come to me, guide me through this war that questioned our humanity
set my soul free and give me wings to fly

to fly..
fly in the sky..


I saw them die one after another, die like flies
I witnessed the history of the largest genocides
blood on my hands
blood every where I go, every where my soul cries

I saw them die...
I saw them ... die!

dreams faded away, to my heart and destroyed me all
from hope to a wish ..to be ill
to die today, right here on my cold bed.. am not a fool!
but a man with a wary head. Yet I feel!

feel the heart beat
closer to my chest
touched the soul, my core ... deepest!!
beneath I ache, of what I kept in " a thousands of sacrament"

I'd sanctify the soil of my country
fought with all of my power to see you one day
just a second, when I was away my whole life,... far far away!!
to pray on the land of all heros, that I've never seen... not today
not today..

I held that dream for generations
I held it in me, in the heart of my sons and daughters
tears upon my face, my heart still burning for my holy lands
that been taken from me forcefully, in seconds!

bring me victory O Lord! bring me victroy, for my children to live in peace
and honored under the fortune's eye
of what glory will provide.. from pride
"tears upon my face"

I'd cry for you,.. for ages!
those tears will never ease the pain nor heal my injuries
Oh son! humanity was lost down the drains
who to blame? for what we've lost? we lost our souls, grounds.. around we used to play

and worst of all, the pain is still there
living inside of me
increasing day by day, thousands of years.. believe me!
as you shall hear, grant me peace...
grant me peace...

on the saddened nights
we fought the war of our lives
we lost our women, children through the conflicts
got nothing to lose, nothing to gain after.. no life nor graces!

my people I call you, by the name of our beloved land
bring it back, to the man with pride... we once had
to the man that have no fear from "the end"

we lived...
we dreamed...
we struggled...
to win the battlel, cost us everything! "everything son" we once owned!

and you tell me, yet you can smile?
you tell me, life is still good around me?
you give me hope?
how life can be pleasant when I've no land, no family, nor history to remember... yet I bleed from head to toe!

God knows to frighten and dismay the enemy
lay them under a curse for eternity
let their bodies dry from poverty
and their children to live with disgrace and fragility. (Amen)




notes:
1-I used (God), (Mary), (Lord) because the poem is presenting a whole nation with different religions, faith, and beliefs.

I'll add more notes later

Longing

There's curiosity controlling the mind
there's fear against the creed
and eager for tomorrow's deed
but surely; I'll praise thee till the end

I believe in his smile
where I found a place I can call home
and peace
a word or a look upon his face; I smile

I thought I'll never be healed
with a glance I am freed
yet as he spoke to me; I smile as I could
and 'I love' is the only word in my mind

happy at heart?
to live life to the fullest
with his presence I'll be gladly the happiest
indeed, he's the sweetest of all yet the best!

O, God hear me
a command of his to set my soul on fire
to melt over the flame
and the love that'll never change

now, I'm more joyful and I can happily sing
to the stars and whatever it could bring
of his love to overcome me, or something!
I couldn't figure but am patiently waiting

I am a little scared my dear
of a tragic loss; that's my fear
please hear!
so, you and I wont have to suffer

I weep with devastation from my cruelty
I doubted you once, and that torn me apart dramatically
mind me, once I break I say things spontaneously
but believe me, I'd never dare to hurt you purposely

if I ever did, I shall have the power to undo it
and heal every wound on your body - I must!
not break your heart apart
and when you need me I'll be by your side, no doubt!

promise you I will never fail you, not my intention
to the last breath of me I'll keep it in
or I'm undone; if you asked me to fly upon
you - the only one in my core, no confusion

now, my dear to demonstrate my feelings for you
I'll leave the decision of it all up to you
clearly, because I dearly love you
forgive my words or deeds if they've once injured you

the words seems so hard to pronounce
so, I write!
it could be my only way to say words that are sincerely true
and yet no one else matter but you to me

last words to say
in silence you may read those words of my poetry
don't refrain after and don't go away
whatever happens I'll never change but I'll definitely stay

I'll say with honor
for the world to hear
I'll love you with all I've of power
then I should leave you happy after

The Shadow Of The Palm Trees

when the light of the sun comes upon
feels the warmth and touches my skin
and my hand on my chest
while the heart skipped a beat

sang for the lonely nights
on the empty roads
we walked through
no hesitations nor regrets beneath

lay the body on the green grass
and under the shadow of the palm trees
we laughed
and never glanced

how the love of two young hearts faded away
it flew.. you say?!
never imagined I'd never see your face
not a look on the pretty eyes of yours nor a touch once more

I lay on bed every night wondering and asking questions need to be answered
wondering what life gave you to forget the love we once had
can't find an answer
can't stop thinking... "shed a tear"

love O where you went?
the warmth of my soul and how my heart felt
when there was you beside me
all I wanted to be there forever and evermore

I had not let it all yet
you meant the world to me, that was in the past
but left me here to die
with no hope

one day you'll realize the world we lived in isn't going to be back
all we had is gone with the rain drops, if there's luck
my heart shall be healed
from all the scars your departure caused

how sad to say again
no man is worth to suffer and risk for, no man!!
but I believe you deserve everything I own
my soul, my heart my body my all! you are my man

came in to the heart for once and never left it at all
made my mind and it's final
I can't barely say how much it hurts to be alone
lonely friday's it shall be

it's cold when you're not around
the noises I can't hear but your voice is a melody
you shall give me life if you answer me
let me know you are watching me

waiting for me, you may promise?
let me know my love, you'll never leave
give me hope,
give me air to breath

oh my poor heart let this love go, you shall hear me "scream"
set my soul free, and give me reason to dream
under the palm trees; yet I believe in you
and bid farewell, dear lord, lest I should grieve you

The Secret Affair (Part I: The Mirror)

At dawn, he looked through the window with hope
he said; "the sunrise is marvelous to see"
what's on the mind, but thoughts of absurd belief
then start the day with a shiny smile

To live or to grieve? I ask myself ... every night
the answer is never found, not yet!
I held the short memories of him, indeed a delight
God only know what all of him "to me" meant

He was a knight with golden hand (s)
a man walking with his chest up with his sword on his left hand
brave enough to rescue the weak and his cruel world
from unfairness and violence it seemed

He choose none, I couldn't believe!
to fly with the stars, he dreamed once
"the moon I wanted to see", Closer, closer from my eye
thus; an Astronaut he became

He was great in all, I believe!
Oh a fair knight he'd be
God gave him knowledge and grace
and his name was....

His dreams... he wouldn't tell!
but the heart beneath his chest is true as a fine steel
with all he was not a man of faith never keep his promises, and always forgetful
absolutely tenacious, never frail

When he speak to me, at any day
he leaves me with joy
a smile on my face, nothing more to say
but to feel the warmth in my heart, is beyond to let it cross by

He make the heart of mine beats out of tune
the colder I get, just a thought of him and am never free
like a mirror in the hand, he looked with a glance
that's to say a mirror and the sword, magic I see!

10 Wonders of life (Part I: Appreciation)

Listen to the rain drops and let it washes your sins away
feel the warmth of the night but never with melancholy
close your eyes, let it be the end of the unpleasant day
pray to the Lord, with all his might and will's to take your soul peacefully
"I'm not proud of what I've done in this life."
as God gave me all what I need from grace
"live more, freely, I crave for a second chance."
silent in the night I shed the tears of a regret and of how my life was just a wasteon desire, 
and lust that controlled the mind and drove me like some sort of a machine
it's the reason of what I've became 
lost it all, my fortune, my faith and most importantly my love
Oh fade away my dreams, my all she owned the life of mine
She loved me when I am down to earth
she held me when I am in a bad health 
she appreciated me, even when I am out of cash
Oh that lady; the queen of my life
the saddest man is what I am now, 
how could I realize it that late "burst out crying" 
she's forever gone
if the end could justifies the means, how could it?
 it should be the end of life
but it never going to be my last
till I make a change of what's left
to God hear my voice in the night
and free me from this torment
running out of time, to go with my fate?
or live on those memories that'll keep hunting me till I lay in my grave
give me light, give me hope
a reason to live once more
I found her living in me
her sweet shiny smile
her lips were red as rose
beautiful soul she carried along, with the light on her face
I miss the whole of her embrace
her words; "and be true to me as I am to you." said she. 
and what she brought to my day. 
From laughter and peace
lots of love and grace
to me she'll remain here
a memory beneath these sheets with me of her warm body as if she still near
and her pleasant voice , Oh I can clearly hear
of her face; I see from far
but I rarely recall all of her
the way she talk and breath
I really miss you A'idah
learnt that we always leave the good apple and go for a cup of coffee
while the apple is a source of energy more than caffeine
but we tend to love the things that harm our bodies.
Remember; to appreciate what you've now before it vanishes.
The end

Between Spaces II

To the unknown I wrote
with passion and pleasure
explosion of feelings , it was an illustrate
'how much I treasure thee'

I kept on writing till dawn
of life and beyond, it's close no question
he wasn't like any other man
an Astronaut and I was a fan

walked on the golden sands
thankful of all God's graces
it makes me sad to live in this world! Where's hate, vanity and never ending wars
I dream of peace to warmth all hearts

with every passing moment
I aim for the best
to hope for tomorrow's deed to end with victory, he said 'it'll be alright'
but it's never alright to loose what kept my dreams alive, there was no comfort

the years passed and still I cry, I asked him 'let me grieve'
he gently replied 'never turn back'. But I disagree!
the past created me
I'll always recall the past of a tragic loss or a massive win; with a smile

was hard to believe I can finally see
'believe me! now I see'
I can see your charming smile
or your golden hair, oh my love I finally can see

I see the moon
or your beautiful eyes, 'you're a very handsome man'
he laughed 'Oh am I? Thank you my lady'. Surely he was not like any other man
I was proud of him, he walked like a champion

now I am sitting on my chair
I am aged and can't barely walk too far
he left years ago, and everyday I lived on his memory after
never forget him a second; he was my lifesaver.

Between Spaces

To believe in the impossible
and feed the souls on hope
the only way to breath, live and love
he said: let your imagination be free

hight above the sky I lived, where dreams are ready to be true
but I wasn't able to see
only I felt you near me
your breath touches my face

oh pity! I never opened my eyes
guess am not among the braves
nor living near but between spaces
then I can see all the galaxies

once I had a dream, to catch the parides together
tomorrow will come in few and I'll be your mirror
to see through me; dear
and promise you I'll never shed a tear

I lay on your shoulder to see the sunset
and your hand upon my chest
to see or to dream, Oh sweet!!
time already fleet!!
sadly like a speed of light

Dear, if you could hear my beats
beneath my chest; it's monstrous
Ah how time is tedious!
got me standing on my toes

waiting till the end of time
and the body was found on the water surface
he regret a life time
remember my dear, nothing is immortal nor my love
