Spring's Message
Budding forth from far and nearblossoms tell us spring is here!Tree leaves resurrected by the millionsand over there, we see the trilliums!Come and walk the path with me;so much beauty we will see!And when the day is over and dusksettles over landscapes lush,stars also have their story to tell.We can relax, for all is well.

Come Around Again
I wonder why u don't come around anymore,Without you life seems to be a shut door,Remembering every moment when you smiled,Looking more innocent then a little child,Now im left without you, and my heart,Because you had stolen it from the start,I wish things would be as they used to be,Wish you would come back to me,Your memories help me survive,Now they are the only reasons I'm alive,My arms are still open to you,I wish you would see my feelings are true,In my heart theres always hope for you and I,The hope will be there until the day I die,All you have to do is smile,And just that about you, drives me wild,Do you think my love is a lie,Then why do u think about me and cry?,You have left me lost, confused, and unsure,Wondering why you don't come around anymore.

My Only Rose

My Only Rose
When the wind whispers your nameAnd the sun always sets the sameWith a fire in my heartWe shall never drift apartYou rose from the groundLike a beautiful rose that I foundThe sun rises above the oceanWith so much emotion over youIn my mind in the darkI think of all the loveThat you put in my heartWith all the love you gave meAnd I can't even seeWhat a beautiful girl you areAnd I couldn't believe what a star.

An Angel With Me

An Angel With Me

With him she will always be, She will cherish every moment For all Eternity.. Her love for him feels so right and so true... She will guide him through the darkest night's, She will be his light for the rest of his life. She will catch him in her wings and comfort him if ever he should fall... She will softly wipe any tears that may fall from his eyes... She will wrap him in her soft white wings if ever he is sad.. She will wrap her wings around him every day for the rest of his life, And whisper softly the powerful words .. I LOVE YOU... Through good and ill she will be there,To say a pray in mid air. She will take him in her wings, To a place where there love begin's.. it is here where there hearts and souls will sing songs of LOVE.. It is here where the love will be like two little white DOVES.. And there love for each other will be for all Eternity.... With LOVE always Angels will live.

TOGETHER

We crossed the life roads together.
We shared everything.
We walked along the spoiled carnival together.
And followed the decent steps together.
We cried together.
We enjoyed together.
Then why we dont die together.

A Work Of Art

A Work of Art
She was a work of artA photograph with no nameHer stare could stop a heartbeatA work of art that needed no frameWith all of the master's qualitiesThat a great painter could paintShe watch as I stroke the canvasHer essence became my patron saintAnd I captured that image and likenessFor all the world to seeShe was my Mona LisaArt capture in real time from me.

Time

Time
Birds of freedom how do you knowWhen it is time for you to goFar away flying night and dayTo beat the winters snow.Through the bars of my cellWithout freedom I gazeAnd watch as you fly free,I'm hoping one day you will pause from your flightAnd share your adventures with me.Each long lonely day the hours tick awayAnd I dream of the time I'll be freeTo go where I may any hour any day,Oh what a joy that will be.Goodbye all my friends nowThe summer time ends distantLands are calling you I see,Take care as you go thoughStormy winds blow, and think justA little of me.

if i declared my love to you,then i would surely loose you as a friend.we have known each other for so many years,i always think of you as an angel full of life.deserving of what heaven's bringto hope that brings the joy to weeping souls.i wish that i could change my mind and tell you what you want to hear.but if i take this risk,our lives would surely change,and you would surely grow resentment,by how i really am.i love you in my heart and soul,and think of you when sadness clowds me.i wish that i could change your world,and make it for the best,but if best friends are to be lost,by such simple words,then i would rather be alone and have you in my life forever.

Obession

Obsession
The stars above didn't knowThe moon still shone in her bright glowIt happened without any warningAs it does when the time is dawningI looked upon your faceAnd instantly knew without a traceYou would be part of me and I a part of youThis feeling so overwhelming, so right, so trueIt echoed throughout my being like an affirmationCalling upon me to acknowledge without hesitationThis passion as intense as a flameBurning within like a fever, your nameLike the perfection of a symphonyThe sound of your voice attracted meLike a magnificent obsessionEverywhere I see your expressionNothing would give me more pleasureThan to be the loved one you treasureAs I ponder on this perfect situationI remain forever betrothed to this infatuation.

About You
I used to be sad, and cry every night,But then I met you, and you made everything right.I love everything bout you, especially your kiss,And whenever I'm with you, I'm in a pure bliss.The feelings I feel, the words that I speak,Are all cuz of you, without tears on my cheek.Or down my face, and out of my eyes,Your heart is so pure, it possesses no lies.You're full of respect, never causing me pain,You hold me real tight, we have so much to gain.I think I'm in love, and I hope that it's true,You're sexy and sweet, I love everything bout you.I hope that we last, a very along time.But for now I'm just happy, to say that you're mine.

Relativity

Relativity
Space and time, and time and spaceScattering matter to dustGiving life no other chanceBut to consume usWhat is this world we're living?What are we trying to reason?Our nature is only deceivingOur minds are the greatest prison. And everything is a mess of reactionsIrrevirsable, unevitable changeAnd though we try to put in order our actionsThis world we cannot arrange.So lost in the glimpse of a momentDespite time we're trying to liveWe struggle without an opponetSpace and time are relative.And what is contained in the perishing daysThe secret of the Universe:There is no time, there is no spaceIt's only us.

The Swing

The Swing
With lemonade in my hand,While sitting on the front porch,She ask me to sit in the swing,And begins to push me back and forth.She said I'm like the sweetness of thelemonade,My taste lingers on the tip of your tonuge,My touch is like a summer breeze,Open your heart and you can have some.I ride up with you,And I also come back down,As the motion of this swing has limits,My love knows no bounds.I love the way that she push that swing,The motions took my breath awayAs we watch the sun settingI let her love have it's own way.

Winds Of Time

Winds Of Time
Winds of time blowin' by again,Telling me of my life and where's it's been,Whispers of smiles and storms of pain,Echo of memories still remain;Winds of time.Winds of time-stay with me,Give my heart some time to be free,When no one knows the way I feel,Give my soul some time to heal,With your help- I'll make music to your rhyme,Winds of time.Out where happy times of youth dance free,A lilting breeze flows back to me,And the pain of strife hits like a gale,Until I die-against it I will rail,But each make up what has always been me-sometimes Iwonder doubtfully,So, I must carry on faithfully,Winds of time.

Come Grow Old With Me
Are you content being so far away,From all that spreads ahead of us?Look there! Yes there! Do you see the horizon where the sky meets the ocean? Oh! The ocean. . . well?Do you see me amidst the ocean?No? Yes? But. . . I would be more visible If I were adorned with your presence.Do you see what I mean?Or are you blinded by your wretched fear? Stop testing me! Hey stop it!It hurts when you pinch me like this! Stop.Do not waste your days astrayTesting the love I undoubtedly have for you!Come on, hurry up little oneFollow me;You do not have much more timeTo grow old with me! So what are you waiting?Hurry up; we have a long swim ahead of us!We must reach that horizon, you see it?We must reach it.

The Rose

The Rose
Some say a love it is a river that draws tender needSome say love it is a razor the leaves the soul to bleedI say loves it is a flower and you're its only seedIt 's the heart afraid of breakingThat never learns to danceIt's the dream afraid of wakingThat never takes the chanceIt the one who won't be takenWho cannot seem to giveAnd the soul afraid of dying'That never learns to liveWhen the night has been too lonely and the road has been to longAnd you think that love is only for the lucky and strongJust remember in the winterFar beneath the bitter snowLies the seed that with the sun's loveIn the spring becomes the ROSE.

Faces Of Love

Faces of Love
Holding hands, entwining fingers,Caressing a cheek is love.Flicking away the tear, holding in comfort,and whispering soothing lullabies is love.Listening with patience, nodding with understandinghandling with care is love.Sharing dreams, keeping secrets,Thinking of destiny is love.Making love, holding close,a touch of the lips is loveA pot on the back, a hug, a kissall go a long way in showing love.So show the one you love thatYou care, that you feelBefore your time on earth has passed,before it is too late.Reveal your feelings and they will be returnedOpen your heart and it shall be filled.

Sunset

Sunset
Coupled beneath the setting sun,Anticipation has mounted for this day to come.Feelings exchanged as we walk along the ocean,Unburned at last with our new shared emotion.Withholding secrets that lie buried inside,Hiding behind a mask we label as pride.Speaking the right words, but only in our dreams,Perhaps this dusk the truth can be seen.A chemistry between us there is no doubt,Awaiting the chance to let the rest come out.As the sun slips away over our headBurdens of the past are forever shed.With the moon rising, we can start anew,The evening sky's a canvas for me and you.With a little patience, the possibilities are endlessWho knows what direction fate will send us?

But Only God

But Only God
How great are the mountains,How majestic are the hills,Swift moving are the currents,But only God can give what is real.The sun rises and the stars do shine very brightBut only God can console the spirit,Only God can make the situation right.You can conquer the mountains,You can cry out against social ills,But only God can give salvation,Only God can cover man's sin natured bill.So, to move the mountains in your life,or to conquer any of the day to day thrills,You have to believe in the father,Who created everything by his will.Remember, only God can if he chooses,His decision are right he never loses.The beauty of nature is great,But only God can give what it takes.

End of July,,2005,, Damascus
If I were to look into her eyesI'd have seen the verdant plateaus,Rising mountains fall into the deep valleys.I'd see myself in those splendid eyes.If I were to listen to her luscious wordsI'd have thought rivers rode through her beingSecret Streams that flowed naturally. . .I'd lay myself candid in her soft waters.If I were to watch her move,I'd have thought waves of oceans awokeTrembled in the silence and broken into eternity.I'd let those waves wash my mortality away.If, and Only If I were able to tell her those wordsI'd have thought I were valiant in V,Fearless in all the many other letters,And believed I had a Daring heart like her. . .I swear, I'd have thought I had her heart to love.Only If. . .

As the night fell. . .And its air mixed with his breath,He was already carried away. . .Full of desire, home to its painful bliss.And in the void,his words echoed. . . "I love her but I know her not. . .I make love to her But I never get to see her face. . .I sleep by her side But I never find her by me. . .at dawn.I kiss her neck so magicallyBut I wake to feel the cold windBlowing on my skin. . .not her lips.She is by my side and not by my side.She is here and not here.Where is she? . . .She lies in me.Who is she? . . . She is divine."The wind blew in hisr directionAnd in an instant. . .He was lost in touch. . .

Tides Of Life

Tides Of Life
Waves chase each other to the shore,crashing against the rocks,flying off into little droplets and spraythat fall to the sand,then run back into the sea likea child at play.This endless display of rushing waternever changesyet changes constantly;the waters bring in the ocean'scollection of shellsand bottles and rings and things.It goes out again and when it returnsit brings innew waters, new sands, even debris,mixing old with new, as do the tides of lifewhen we chance upon a new experienceor embark upon a new adventure.

The Thoughts Of Her Lover

The Thoughts Of Her Lover
By the light of the moon,She gentley combs her hair,Staring at her reflection in a mirror,Wishing that her lover could be there.The howling sound of the wind,The distant whistle blowing from the train,Thoughts of her lover became over bearing,And the tear drops could not be restrained.Thoughts of her lover,Would he come by day or night,As she stared into the mirror,She wondered about her plight,Let him come to me now,If only for a moment in time,To see the warm glow of his smile,Just to touch his hand,If only for just a little while.

I've traveled through landscapes unchanged by time,Through red woods,past the greenest of lands,Mid gardens overlooking forbidden hills.I floated in the tremendous vast space Enchanted by scenes of peace and industry,Nights trimmed with sapphireOf mystical reveries and colored dreams ...Even the Goddess of the Moon shone down on me.I tasted the spices of the eastAnd danced to the mystical songs of the rain.Round ovals in the dark captured my vision,Pain and pleasure overwhelmed me...Clinging onto every moment,I searched all landsFor someone to share my partYet all that timeAs I roamed a world of wondersI held a fear within That I may never find another You again...

He Is

He Is

He is the one
awaken the sleeping silent whisper in my Cheeks.
He is the one
who bowed when he saw me.
Kneeled in my hands
He is the one
from the springs dream.
From my bleeding wounds entered me.
From all the Lilies which tought me exultation.
He is the one
who spread his love,coming from me to me.
He is the one
surrounded by my tenderness,with promise tempted me.
If he is away,my Eyelash lives the misery.
He is the one-From his sea-I bath,
and wash all my dresses.
He is the one
when the star calls me,
my all vanes squeezed by the dress.
When he was a child,
the dress was very long .
When he grew up,
the dress became very short.
He decided to gift it
to the Sun.

Tears Of Autuman

Tears of Autumn
Autumn is here; the trees tell me so,Dropping their leaves, like tears long ago.A reminder of what has been,Of what will come again.There will come the Wings of Spring,The joy of hearing the birds sing,Coming softly as a budding roseThat brings such pleasure to the nose.Winter can be a canvas of beauty,Clouds of snow, expressing its duty.The earth is my home. I love it well.One day I must leave it, just when I can't tell.One year into another, they form a chain,Things I would do over-some, never again.Heartache, pain, happiness with each of the seasons,With faith, my heart tells me, there's always a reason.

Beauty

Beauty
Beauty surrounds us in our everyday worldand gives our lives meaning in so many ways.It is the love in the eyes of someone you treasure,The sound of his voice as he calls out your name.The soft scent of heather lightly tossed by the breeze,the face of a newborn hearing the sound of your voice,a scarlet sunset at the end of a perfect day.Beauty is the sweet song of the Robin's arrival in spring,A full moon on a warm summer's evening,The lowing of a calf in search of a drink,The happy sounds of children at playAnd the soft spoken words "I Love You" each day.Beauty is everything that touches your heart.Open it up to become a partOf all things beautiful in our everyday world.

Sweet Pain

The impossible hugging time came.
Take care,don't hug.
Cross the open dream door.
Enter the Garden of Happiness,and start your singing again.
Give me the Child Happiness,the love songs.
Tell me softly that you are back.
Let me feel the Sweet Pain,my yesterday love.
The rush of your love.
My hope read my face again.
Plant the spring love in my heart.
Hold me,touch my lovely land.
Let me feel the first longing again.
Be my love madness for tomorrow.
Give me back the lost Sweet Pain.

Memories '' A Melody Of Love

Memories " A Melody Of Love"
Memories are a melody of love in our livesAnd the tunes they play are endless in time.They awaken our senses, as we reliveThe day each memory was made.We shared such fun when we were youngAnd we kept those memories tucked away.Some special ones we still take outAnd think of every day.The laughter and the tears still flowAs they did so many years ago,When remembering the happy times,Along with those of sorrow.We're shown, by memories, just how muchOur friends and family meant.We stored them in our memory banksAnd withdrew them as we went.The best is knowing that we haveA chance to see our lives againBy looking back to days gone by,If only for a moment.

Innocent Desire

Innocent Desire
If ever, the moon was brightAnd if ever, it was near to the same night.If the streets were as vacant as that day,And if ever, life had the same mirth and gay.I'm sorry my dear but id again say,My heart and life at your feet lay.If ever, that hurts you again,Do not look at me with sorrow and pain.Every time it is my loss and your gain.If ever, you trod on my feelings like you did before,This life shall still adore,Your beauty that vows, every time to leave it alone.Its not just your outer but the inner kind,That makes me think another mortal like you ill never findBut with a smile i cheirsh the thought;Some, like you are only longed forAnd never owned with pride.

When Two Hearts Beat As One

When Two Hearts Beat As One
When two hearts beat as one, no one can divide them.They live, breathe, and stand above all of life's problems.They beat with a love so strong they cannot bare to be apart.And when they are, it brings such pain to each other's heart.And as one, they each have the same goals and desires.They work together day by day, ever climbing higher and higher.And when these hearts beat side by side, the greatest gift will be:The little hearts that come along, a part of you and me.What joy life brings when you have been so blessed!How wonderful it is, to experience such happiness!When two hearts beat as one, you don't even have to say,How much you love the other in each and every way.No, their eyes speak the words they hold in their mind.They know each others thoughts with a love of this kind.Yes, they'll laugh and they'll love till the end of life comes.Ever loving, ever caring, as two hearts beat as one.

Silent cries entrapped in those eyeslike a shooting star that fades across the skies A search for an answer but always in vainA smile to decieve and hide that painA lost desire or just an empty heart..Or a reflecting past that pulls you apartFor you're still a mystery to this heart of minelike a pearl that seems to've lost its shine...like a flower that's faded before its timeStillness of the skies in eyes that once desireda passion for truelove that now seems to've tiredBut deep down i know that you're destined to loveand it will come to you like a sign from aboveWhere desire rules the heart in an eternal blisswhere passion fills love with every tender kissyou'll find that world that you always missedFor Broken hearts are destined to endeavoura love so beautiful, it will last.... forever.

An immigrant moon cast giant shadows in the black nightShining down with its ghostly glare A giant silvery moon casts its pale light Night's dark shadows can't compareThe moon held me tight in immigrant moonlight A spectral show of shadows and moonbeams Mysteries could easily be spun on this night of nightsLike an invisible lover, fingers of white shimmering moonlight Devoured me with its touch so gentle and held me in its embrace Nothing else exists on this moonlit nightThe night and its mysteries belong to me Moonlight and shadows reach down from the heavens The shimmering moon on its long journey Nothing else matters just the moonbeams, the shadows and meOn our journey through time.

In Quest Of You

In Quest Of You
In the middle of the soaring nature,And the greening of the villages,I pour myself into blue flowersAnd little roses because you are in them.My heart dances and wallows;It hangs everywhere because you are everything.Funny how those mountains and rocks,Never cease to remind meOf how sad I am, how lonely,Without the love I found in You.You'd think my words were there,Ready and easy to come,But I've also been chased by desire;My heart was mountedWith many turbulent feelings, andOne wish, that those feelings would take me back,To the start Of the day I felt,Something greater than life would come to me...

Was That A Rain Drop

Was That A Rain Drop
Some people thought that he was crazy,To the point of turning insane,Because everytime storm clouds would come,He would go outside to wait for the rain.Was that a rain drop falling,Or was it just a tear falling from his eye,His memeories was overflowing with pain,Visions of her love driving him insane.He heard the roar of the thunder,But maybe that was his heart breaking again,Was that a rain drop falling,Or was that his tears blowing in the wind.Some people thougth that he was crazy,To mourn a love that was lost long ago,With emotions running high,His heart being tossed to and fro.Was that a rain drop falling,Or was it a tear from his eye,Thinking of things from their past,As the rain fell, he began to cry.

By The Riverside
To a good friend... End of July 2005,Damascus
You know, I have been wonderingIn my starlit nights and my colored flowersAbout the tantalizing moments we'd spentBy the riverside that very one eve.I have been drifting in our old dream house,In little shapes and forms of dewWhen we used to run, and play aroundWhen all we could see were the good things.Little Bird, I have been wondering tooAbout our exalted prayers in the dawnWhen what we feared was thatHome is where the heart is.Lovely Syrian Bird, I have been wondering so many timesWhen you tell me "I miss you"Why don't you fly my skies, again,And remind me, yes,Of some tantalizing moments we'd spentOne very eve, by the riverside.

The Dream

The Dream
Even though he undressed her with his eyes,And dreamed of her in his sleep,He could not come to face the music,That his dream girl he would never meet.A cold shower he would take in the am's,Because of those dreams he had at night,He found himself grasping for her touch,Unfulfilled dreams that had no end is sight.Day dreaming of her at his job,With no thoughts of getting any work done,In a bar he found himself drinking,From his feelings he trying to run.My dream girl he said,Oh how I wish you really did exist,But while going thru his pockets,Discovered a note that he had missed saying,I know about your dreams,They exist for me too,And maybe this note will explain our fate,And those same feelings that I have for you.

The Veil Of The Last Goodbye

The Veil of the Last Goodbye
She stands in regal solitudeas hundreds line down the aislepast the place where he will sleepthroughout eternity.They, like she, had loved himand came to say so-long; some kneel to say a prayer.She watches and clingsto the hands of her other son and her husband;as tears of grief river down her cheeks,she feels a smile of gratitude in her heartfor the good life he'd lived,for the many who loved him and would miss him,for her husband whose son he was,for the brother who adored him,for God who had blessed her so.She knows all these things will comfort herin the days and years to come, but for the moment,they wait behind the Veil of the Last Goodbye.

Light

Light
Adrift upon the darkest seaNo soul about to comfortAlone and shipwrecked just off the shoreFrightened by the lonelinessIn need of words to softenThe bitter wind upon my faceA light did shine upon the hill Across the black, blue waterA little beacon asking me to followI did but once waiver in the blacknessAnd then did reach for the glowAnd to the light I did flyInto a place so richWith kindness, hope and lifeAnd to this life where I am bornI thank the little lightFor it did call and promise meAll that I have gainedSo thank you much dearest lightAnd keep you ever safe.

Shadows And Light

Shadows and Light
Sleepless nights, scary frightsThat carry loads of meanings, handful of feelingsTo this heart of mine, on this night so fine. . .Days start right; sun shining so brightLaughter ringing; feel like singingWaiting for her return to, once more, make me burnWith all the love I yearn to give to her. . .Evening comes so quiet; just want to enjoy itWith her arms around me, feeling safe and free. . .The shadows start to form, and instead of feeling warmCold seeps to my bones, making me feel the moansOf the absence of light that triggers my flightThrough seemingly endless nights. . .The waiting has begun for the rising of the sunThat will clear away the sky, making me finally flyTo the dreamworld I desire; at last extinguishing the fireOf nightmares, hurt and pain As expertly as the rain, on a muddy winter day,Drives the dirt and dust away. . .

Message From Heaven

Message From Heaven
(this Poem is dedicated to my mother who always crried my beloved sister..)
Oh mommy, wipe your tears away, there is no need to be sad.They're taking real good care of me, it's the most fun I've ever had.You won't believe how pretty it is, yes it's really neat.Why, this morning I got up early, and played near Jesus' feet.Don't worry about that day any more, it was all so very sudden.One second I was there, the next I was in heaven.There are many, many angels here to help in every way.Jesus said he'll send you some, for comfort throughout the day.Oh mommy, I know you miss me and long to hold me tight.But, I'm really very happy here, I'm not even scared at night.It won't be long until you get to be here with me, too.Believe me when I tell you Mom, you'll never again be blue.But till that day remember Jesus is watching you from above.He's ready to take your hurt and sadness, and fill you with His love.

Tell me the secrets of your heartAnd what it is that's tearing you apartFor I see all the pain within your eyesAnd I constantly hear your silent criesThere's no need to act all brave and strongAs it will all consume you before too longBe true to yourself and speak your mindSo that joy and happiness you can finally findTake my hand and come with meFor by your side is where I'll always beThrough laughter and tearsI promise to be there through the yearsI will lend you my ear when you need to talkAnd steady shoulders to lean on when you cannot walkI will always show you love, understanding, patience and careSo please don't ever despairWe are sisters bound by the heartAnd nothing can tear us apart.

A Letter To You

A Letter To You
Do you understand how you make me feel?How badly you confused me? How much you make me think of you?During the day you''re in my mind,In the evening you''re in thoughts, and at night you''re in my dreams.I go days without eating, days thinking about nothing but you.There are days when I don''t want to get out of bed,just so I can stay to keep dreaming of you.Every time I''m near you this feeling of total bliss fills me in and I cando nothing but stay quite because I''m afraid, afraid that if I saysomething it will end my dream. But it isn''t a dream, its reality and nowI''m afraid because my dreams have come true and I don''t know what to do.Most people dream of cars, homes, and endless vacations and all of that Icould live without, but you I cannot.Now that I''ve found you I''m afraid that if you aren''t there, there isn''t apurpose to my life.To do as you say, to make you forever happy, to have you and be with you.Those are my dreams, that is what I really want.Nothing more, nothing less.When I''m beside you I can feel all your energy, your emotion, your love,your soul wanting to come out. Needing someone just like I do.

Sometimes

Sometimes
Sometimes i lay on my bed,
your wonderful you running through my head.
Sometimes i picture you in my mind,
your loving eyes and face so kind.
Sometimes i feel your lips on mine,
your sweet kisses and beautiful smiles.
Sometimes i feel you holding me,
your strong safe arms protecting me.
Sometimes i see you wave good-bye,
your going away brings a tear to my eye.

Echos Of Love

ECHOS OF LOVE
Vibrations Echos in the air.
I can feel you everywhere.
Guiding me through.
You know how to undo.
And make me feel brand new.
It only comes to a few.
A love so deep.
It comes while I'm asleep.
It's the moment i always keep.
And remembering iam special too.

Voices On The Wind

Voices On The Wind
Icy winds whistle through the tall pinesHarsh November winds scream to be heardBrittle leaves of gold and orange blown cruelly to the groundFly wildly through the mountain airVoices on the wind call to meLeafless trees scratch at my windowDemanding entrance into my safe and warm domainVoices on the wind screaming to be heardWind mixed with moon beamsCast eerie shadows on the wallBringing imaginary mysteries to lifeVoices on the wind make it all too realAs I huddle close to the warmth of the fireplaceAs I stare into the dancing flamesVoices on the wind seem to call my nameWind and moon beams demanding my attentionYou must listen closelyYou must listen for it's messageFor, there are voices on the wind.

The Power Of Love

The Power of Love
Love is a warm liking; it is affection and devotion.It is care and acceptance without demands or condition.It grows inside the heart; its power is immense.But if it becomes obsession, loses logic and common sense.You see, but overlook; you hear lies, but believe;You are robbed, but do not care, and if wounded you don't bleed."Love is a gift from above" is St. Paul's definition,When he wrote about it under divine inspiration."Love is kind, he said, it doesn't envy or rebuke;It doesn't think of evil, but rejoices in the truth.It believes and bears all things, suffers pain and turmoil;Shows kindness under offense, and endures it all."Love is not selfish, forgives without condition;Gives the best it can give, but doesn't seek retribution.It reveals in any situation, in what you do or say;In the touching of your hand, and in the works of your day.Love conveys peace and joy. It is a ladder to climb above.The steps are your actions when they show that God is love!

Yesterday

Yesterday
Yesterday`s memories dwell in the corners of my mindLike elusive shadows dancing on the wallShadowy memories of childhood yesteryears Fond remembrances of a precious time gone byA time of wide-eyed innocence, adventure and wonderA time where dreams really could come trueSuddenly sadness overcomes me like a thick fogMisty fingers of reality take over as I accept the truthThose innocent days are now relegated to the pastBut yesterday's memories will not be forgottenTucked away in that shadowy corner of my mindThey remain a unique and special chapter in my book of life As time goes by it becomes clearer to meMy life is richer, my memories fullerMy heart fills with love For what I had yesterday.

Sign For Love & Longing

Sign For Love&Longing

What shall we do,
with every new passing day.
Shall we run away..sing and have fun.
Shall i remember you ,
and you remember me,
and write the stories of the longing days.
You are my companion..and my winter flower,
who stands there ,and refuse to fall
high in the face of the lost years.
I want you a flower to live,
in the light of the incoming years.
Where love and crys are holy.
Your name will remain honourable,
a sign for Love&Longing .

Forbidden Love

Forbidden Love
You will be my last love,etched in the innermost chamber of my heartuntil the cloak of death claims me.You were a forbidden lovethat drove me from heights of ecstasyto fears of demons within my own soulas you whispered soul-rendering and passionate love to meand spoke of dreams only a lover would.We would sail the seas, laying claim to rays of sunlight,and count each passing cloud.We would fly into blueness of sky,and the world below would be ours--if only for a moment.We would dine in a romantic spirit, candles flickering,sweet music filling our hearts with slumberous moods.Ah! Love isn't just for the young.We, too, know the splendor of love, intertwined souls and spiritsas we entered eternity.But they were only "dreams of the heart,"I seek closure to this madness of forbidden love,carrying memories heavily in my heart until the cloak of death claims me.

As The Flames Danced

As The Flames Danced
As the flames dance to the fragile tune of my distant memoriesI gazed hypnotically into their yellow-white heat and saw my lifethereA troubling reminder of my past... and of my presentI struggled to understand what new path I must takeAnd, as the flames danced, I opened my heart to listenSuddenly, there in the old fireplace, I could see my future as if itwere todayA vision of what I could be came clearly to me and filled me with hopeNow, I understood everything; I could make new a wise choicesAnd, as the flames danced, I opened my heart to listenI know, now, that I can do -- and be -- whatever I wantI realize, now, that I am stronger than I ever imaginedI know, now, that I can finally be free to be -- meAnd, as the flames dancedTo the harmonious tune of my most sought after dreamsI opened my heart to listenThere is a new found peace within myself, now...It is all so clear...All I have to do...Is listen....To my heart.

Sunset

Sunset

Slowly it begins to fall,
that big red firey ball.
To that horizon if journey's near,
stained by a rainbow that has
melted and leaked.
The sky is full of colors;
it's like a treasure to be seaked.
Now disapearing it has gone to sleep,
tomorrow the west and it shall meet.

Making Love To You

Making Love To You

Making love to you goes deeper then the embrace of our bodies,
it's holding you close and sensing your touch...
Feeling your breathe on my neck,
and your arms around me tight.
The intensity i feel at this moment,
is something i can't interpret through the language of words...
I t can be felt through my heartbeat,
and seen through the windows of my soul.
If only you knew...
Making love to you...is simply...
cherishing the thought of You !

What Nature Told Me

What Nature Told Me
The sun smiles at me on sunday.
The moon follows me at night.
They tell me i'll fall in love one day,
when the timing just right.
The wind whispers a soft song.
The dew washes my feet.
The birds sing ''it won't be long''
Befor you and she meet.
The clouds become dark and begin to cry.
The earth swallows their tears.
The sun shines and a rainbow appears in the sky,
relinquishing me of all my fears.
I hear the buzz of the bees,
even as the sky is almost dim.
I hear the rustle of the seas.
As i see in the distance ''it's she''
Fireworks go off and splash in the sky.
The colors dazzle,gleaming bright.
Awaiting her touch,i sigh.
I have finally found my sweet heart.

Smile

SMILE
As i look upon the face that smiles.
It tells me something for that while.
A face so sincere.
I can her clear.
A moments smile,
gives me a sense of belonging
to someone dear.
To treasure that moment,
tells me.
I'm being understood.
Yet all i can see,
is an everlasting smile.
It sends me through,
in all that i do.
Touched by an angels smile.
send me for miles and miles.

Today birds are singing same as yesterday.
Today you are with me same as yesterday.

Hidden In Rhyme

Hidden In Rhyme
You expect me to belive;in what i don't know
to see the feelings;that never really show.

To trust my heart;and forget my mind
you're convinced love;is easy to find.

To close my eyes;and let my hands lead
to what i desire;in my human greed.

That love lost is better;than love not felt
but two aces are useless;if to you they're not dealt.

You say you once loved;and you let it pass by
you think it was real;so over it you cry.

But love is mutual;and it lasts all time
love is never lost;it's hidden in rhyme.

Beauty Of Your Love

Beauty Of Your Love

When this life begins to play the soul melodies.
You will feel me trying to open your doors.
Trying to locate all the lovely moments,
and translating all the heavens words to suit your love.
Iam trying to know when all the love situations begins.
And where this life will carry us.
Iam some times wish to lose my way in the trip of beauty,
only when i reach your land.
Nothing can prevent me from whispering your name across the sky.
And i will walk towards you carrying the whole love load,
entering your border,and when i touch your smell
i'll forget myself and enters your chest looking for a bright soul,
and hide myself there.
I'll chase my love there,
i'll color myself with your love,
and only you will hear me saying:
I'm living the love wonder of you.
I'm living the beauty of your love.

The Rose

The Rose

I was just a tiny seed
when he came along and planted me.
He watered me everyday
loved me and nurtured me.
With each new day,
i grew and grew.
When i sprouted.
I was filled with love and beauty.
Each morning,
my petals opened and my love exploded.
He watched over me,protected me.
He was my master and i his slave.
But the frost came early this year.
The frost,
a chain of deception and lies.
That is what wilted me.
I no longer could feel the warmth of the sun.
It was blocked by deceit.
Slowly,my petals fell to the ground.
And i began to die.

Wish

Wish
Starlight,starbright,give me a wish to wish tonight.
My thoughts are silent as i scream inside,
the denial of my mind.
And i run as fast as i can into the bitter
night,trying to hide from my lost dreams.
But no matter how far i travel i always find,
you somewhere in the comfort-zone of my insanity.
You are my illumination.
My maker of happiness.
And i can't imagine having a happier thought.
Finally it's worth it.
This hell i've been dipped in day after wasted day.
I finally have a reason to be happy about it.

Story Of The Rose

Story Of The Rose
This is the story of a Rose,
full of pain but beautiful to expose,
everyone admires it's beautiful petals,
but no one give a look to it's ugly sepals,
everyone says it's nectar is divine,
but no one looks at it's thorny spines.
Everyone feels that the rose is glad,
but no one knows how much it's sad.
To everyone it gives a pleasant look,
but never tells anyone that its life is spoiled by a crook.
It always shows that it is very fine,
but never tells anyone it was betrayed by someone.
It give happiness and support to all,
but no one helps it when it falls.
It's heart is bleeding but it keeps on smiling.
It gives me inspiration for my fighting,
it teaches me don't expose your pain,
it teaches me that crying is in vain,
it teaches me smile even when iam grim,
it inspires me to walk alone in dark even if the light is dim.

Impossible Passions

Impossible Passions
Warm sunlight, burning fire, fingers touching, raging desireLonging so sweet, passions so consumingTears falling, parting so heartbreaking. . .Memories left to tease, with nothing to easeThe attraction felt, as hands were heldWith a lover's tenderness, a friend's sweetness. . .Two things combined doing wonders to the heart:In the morning making it soar, in the evening leaving it sore. . .Wanting, needing, aching, sitting here wondering How could so brief a moment bring so much torment?To an already occupied heart, to a story never going to startTo 2 people destined to be apart. . .The explanation is so simple, surely it will break into a dimpleOn your face, when I tell you, that what you said was true:Feeling, needing, then acting, wanting so much, yet notregretting. . .Actions taken, words said that might have ledTo unexpected roads, to two different living modesMeeting together, finding shelterIn the feelings, the spur-of-the-moment healingsThat only coming together brings, as the most beautiful of things.

Once in a lifetime, someone special walks into your lifeSomeone who is meant to be there; and meant to stay in every waySomeone who is meant to be forever in your heartA "chance" encounter planned from above - it was written on the stars!Each step taken toward that first meeting were steps toward your fateDestiny took your hands and led you both to that special place andtimeFrom that first magical moment, your fate was sealed for all eternity Each step thereafter led you inexorably into your future togetherIntertwined like the delicately interwoven threads of the finest lace.And, even though a world apart, your hearts are bound togetherCards, letters, and words of love are the physical threads that bind youMemories that bring you together in a spiritual place where only lovers dwellForever - together - in your hearts - for all timeThat delicate lace thread connects your hearts; your souls; and your loveCall it fate; call it destiny; call it whatever you likeBut, you must call it a love for all time.A love like this comes but once in a lifetime.It was written on the stars...

Two Souls

Two souls
Two souls reach out for each otheracross the ocean and the miles.They give to each other what time allows:tenderness, communication, and smiles.They often wonder about each otherthroughout the long day. They wait for the moment when destinywill bring the other one their way. When once again they are together, they smile and sigh and cry. They share their hopes and goals and dreamsand feel the tenderness they can't deny. And then the time always comeswhen these two souls must say farewell, But the farewell is not a good-bye, for in each other's hearts they dwell

Insomnia

When i dream, i become so high,
white as the clouds,
happy as the children.
The beautiful dream is you.
The hidden picture that makes me happy,

Iam the incoming finished flower.
Iam the memory which bites,
and vanish.

Beautiful View

Beautiful View

The time seemed to stop as i looked into the sky,
i wish i had wings which could make me fly.

The velvet sky filled with so many stars,
i tried to reach up to them but they seemed so far.

Through my hair the breeze gently flowed,
the sun is the sky dimly glowed.

The soft lull of the wind so clear and clean,
caused the leaves to sway and flowers to be seen.

The tiny droplets of rain fell befor me,
casting a shadow which no one could see.

The shooting stars i saw as the sky cleared,
it wasn't the mountains,but the height i feared.

She Wanted Love

SHE WANTED LOVE
She lived among the silent roads,
where all the sad stories were told.

She trusted the hearts of all the bolds,
thinking of love and someone to hold.

She remembered the tears in her world,
and never belived with what fate she was bound.

She marked the love high above the ground,
believing that sensing hands will lead.

She wished that she was the rainbow at all the ends,
and like a treasure to be seaked.

She wanted to share the feelings of all the friends,
even when the words of confusion were said.

She felt the sound coming from my sides,
excited with love in her mind.

She closed her eyes and gave me her hands,
thinking of love that once she had.

She hold me tight affraid that i might hide,
and said:Love was not easy to find...

Touching The Strings Of life

Proud stars,envious moon,
drown in my deep deep eyes.
Drinking the sour wine of life,
burning the fire,passion never died.
The resonent peal of the ringing bells,
rythm makes my heart go wild.
Destiny lies in the depth of relations,
relations with the realities of life.
Keep the love you are born with.
Follow the beauty of your dreams.
Melt the dark sky over the burning sun.
Give birth to passion.
Think and reason life,
to go on with ,just keep breathing.
Make a fire in the rushing water.
Let me fly free like a bird in the sky,
and bloom the hearts which have dried.

To You With Love

Tears of the sky came down as rain.
The world held nothing,save for pain.
Flowers would wither,leaves would fall.
Everything was worthless,petty,or samll.
Then you came along and changed my life.
You held my hand and made me survive.
The rain becomes diamonds,glimpses of light,
showing me a future ever so bright.
The world is joy,with sadness a part.
A balance created to soften the heart.
Flowers are beauty that does not fade.
To keep it a live,tiny buds are made.
Autuman arrives to paint the earth,
and spring announces a new world's birth.
Everything has meaning,all is right.
M agnificent wonders fill my sight.
So let me thank you for showing me love.
You give me faith in the help from above.
Thank you forever,heart and soul,
for being ,my love and making me whole.

Thoughts Of You

Thoughts Of You

The story never ends as the book of life turns the page.
Take the time to read between the lines,
or you might miss the main attraction focused on center stage.
There is something there if you reach down deep.
Beyond the depth of your mind that store the memories you wish to keep,
thats where you were,your entrance is out of my control.
It's my soul you reached,my body you took hold.
The truth was revealed,though not very well known.
Words not spoken,yet understood by action shown.
The sound of your voice swept me to a place i've been befor.
And only time will tell if together we can open that door,
for the key lies not in your hand but in your heart.
All you have to do is belive and nothing can fall apart.
With wings to fly and the air at our back,
we'll be lifted on high with only dreams to attack.
You've been an inspiration,although you might not know.
Your personality and presence allow the inner me to glow .
Attached i have become to the person i love,
and in my heart you will forever stay.

I miss your movements deep within.
I miss your whispering of love in beautiful sin.

Your love has opened the door
to my heart,mind,body and soul.
For you are the one i adore.

Love you always and forever,

This Time

This Time

Just sitting gazing across the beautiful
plains of masked love silence,
interpreting the peacefulness,
interpreting the two souls of crossed paths,
remembering those words spoken...they echo
though my heart;they whisper to me.
'Let your instincts move you'..
Sopt the desires and place the passions in
the palm of our hands.
I see the presence engulf me;i see the inflence
dictate the future;the companionship of two;
lust to love;sharing our minds with time;i feel the
growth;i see her arms caress my blissful heart;
i see her eyes fall into mine;i see
the world flourish with light.
I saw her come to me,she sat right befor me,
the eyes no longer barren.
The arms no longer heavy.
The mirrored reflection.
The dream will never fade;the passion holds
the fire.

I look at the sun rise each and every day ,
the way it reflects it's beautiful ray.

I see the waves of the ocean when it hits the shore,
i guess that's what i really adore.

I see the beautiful green trees,
the way it tilts in the wonderful breeze.

I see the rainbow after the rain,
it always wipes away all the pain.

I thank the lord for giving me sight,
and making everything seem just so right.

I thank the lord up above,
for giving me his endless love.

Release Me

Release Me
When iam gone,release me,let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.

You must not tie yourself to me in tears.
Be happy that we had these years.

I gave you my love,you can only guess,
how much you gave back to me with your happiness.

I thank you for the love each of you have shown...
But now it is time that i travel alone.

So grieve awhile for me,if grieve you must,
then let your grieve be comforted by trust.

It is only for a while that we must part.
So bless all of the memories you hold within your heart.

I won't be far away,for life goes on.
So if you need me,call and i will come.

Though you cannot see or touch me i will be near,
if you listen with your heart you will hear..

All my love around you,
soft ,gentle,and clear.

I Care

I Care
I was always scared to show that i care,
yet you came along and told me it's not fair.

To keep all the love inside and not to share,
to fight hard those feelings of love and dare.

You came in and made me open my doors again,
but my heart was holding to an old pain.

I was scared of losing control,
but more afraid to be alone.

I started to fall so fast,
i might just give up at last.

Now...Deep inside i hide,
a love one of a kind.

My dreams are made of you,
and smiles i owe it to you.

If people can see you through my eyes,
they would know that you are my prize.

How did i fall in love with you?
something i can't figure through.

'' You captured my heart ''

My Love

My Love
In a world filled with hate and despair.
You are my light at the end of the rainbow.
In a day filled with gray clouds and darkness,
you are the calm after the storm.
In an hour filled with pain and suffering,
you are the hope that comforts the soul.
In a minute filled with anxiety and stress,
you are the promise of happiness.
In the eyes of the world you are but a girl,
you are lovely feelings in my life.
In my eyes you are the being far beyond comprehension,
you are the dew drops in the early morning.
And the sunrise in my life.
You are the simple pleasures that makes my world turn.
You are my LOVE.

Always you are on my mind,
every second trapped in time.
My dreams are so clear,
when you'r presence is so near.
Laying awake with a feeling i can't shake,
looking at the wall,
feel like i'm going to fall.
Staring out into space,
with a smile on my face
wishing on a star,
to be where you are.
Thinking of you,
don't know what to do.
I close my eyes,
i could hear the wind cry
for internality it seems,
befor i start to dream
i see you there,
beautiful and fair.

Our lips and limbs in fashion.
Our bodies as one with sweet sighs of
passion.
Just your smile inspires my strong desire.
The desire in your eyes inspires a spark like
Live wire, it sets me on fire.
Without your love, there would be no fire.
Without your desire, you make me a liar.
I want your love to light my fire.
I dream of you night - n - day and when your
near or far away.
You.. are the beauty of my desire.
You.. are in the dreams of my desire.
I sometimes bounce around between
dreams - n - desires.

The Rose

The Rose

I sing your name every morning,
and at sunset,and in silance.
I repeat it in myself.
And openly among all the crowd.
You are my sun.
Don't go hiding.
Don't leave me to this frost.
My Rose ,do you know where is my heart?
It's not living between my ribs anymore.
And my eyes,
if you don't have mercy on me.
I'll be sinking with my tears.
My morning star,be my travel guid,
and my return light.
Don't let me alone,
with nightmare.
Attacking my all being.
Take me to you'r holy forest,
and purify me.
Hundred women polluted myself,
with false love.
You are the wonder
of all the beauty.
In you'r eyes,
sweet dreams glowing.
I'm longing to be you'r slave,
at you'r disposal
whenever you come.

Excited Fire

Excited Fire


In my body,
there are cities,i dont know
how to enter
and i dont know how to get
out from it.
Secret people living in it.
Raised there giant tents,
deep inside me.
And at night,
they climb my Vanes.
They crosses the parts of dreams...and wishes.
They enter the secret tents,
where they decide about the future shape.
And in the morning,i wake up
feeling this lonelyness.

Time & Again

Time & Again
I feel the crisp,night air snuggle up close to me,
As i watch a thousand stars glisten;each ,a show!
My heart rejoices in the memories i have known,
but makes me recall how time can slip away.


Time that i ,in youth,thought would continue forever,
so,there was no need to ride the pain until tomorrow.
I learned from days gone by that times seldom change;
They only move ,and embrace themselves in a cloak of choice.


Yesterday,i read the old stories that tell the tales of yore,
but are they so different from those of today?
Only time and place beget the scene that is no more,
with different actors who take their places upon the stage.


Now i,the sage,raise the cup that is filled with much hope,
and wish that tomorrow will bring the wisdom and understanding,
for all to see beyond the walls,and the shadows of time.
Behold the splendor of the millenium light!

How Can I Tell You

How Can I Tell You

Everyday we pass eachother as if we are strangers,
but how can i tell you that i know you coz it looks like danger.

It seems as if it's getting too late,
iam losing my patience and i can't seem to wait.

How can i tell you that you are the only one in my life?
How can i tell you that i'll always be there by your side?

Everytime i see you, i can't just wait,
but tell you how much i love you.

You are the only one on my mind,
for you i can leave everything behind.

Oh, everything between us has just begun,
the fire, the sparks, the truth that for me you are the only one.

For you, i will always be around,
you should know that i will never let you down.

But baby, how can i tell you that iam alive ?
How can i tell you that i also survive?

How can i tell you that you are the only one in my life ?
How can i tell you that i'll always be there by your side ?

Reflections

Reflections
Yesterday i could scarcely belive my eyes.
When ,in one moment ,all time stood still,
and all good things passed to a holy place.
My heart labored to deal with the pain,
for my world had been shattered beyond belief.
Tears ran down my face to form a reflecting pool.
Will i find the love and peace that once were mine?

Today,my heart floats lightly upon the wind.
Up ,and away from all the cares of the day.
Up to a place where beauty and harmony dwell.
I have the colors of a rainbow to help guide me,
for i must not falter or lose my way on this path.
Let the sun's light continue to shine brightly upon me,
to remind me of the many gifts i have been given.

Tomorrow floats in steadily with each passing day.
It is filled with all the love my heart can hold,
for i have learned the secret that heals the pain;
Forgiveness and selflessness seep in day to day,
until emptiness and loathing no longer dwell.
Let the secret fly on the wind and gently fall,
until all hearts are filled..till the end of time.

Love Season

Love Season

We live the love season,
as grass do,
searching for a small land,
and a small dream.
And when the night comes
we stand up as a Fog among the grass,
searching for our poems,
and our cold tears.
Fold me like you do with the poem papers
like the butterfly folds memories
for the long journey.
And i leave towards the high sea,
where Love and Crys are holy.

Where Were You

WHERE WERE YOU

Where were you?
when i needed you to support me through my darkest fears.

And where were you?
When i wanted you to lead me through my life's maze.

And where were you ?
When i wanted to touch the sky.

And where were you ?
When i wanted to feel high.

And where were you ?
When life casted a dark spell on me.

And where were you ?
When the nights seemed to drag on me.

And where were you ?
When i stood by the edge of my life's cliff.

And where were you ?
When my last words remained unspoken on my lips.

Forgotten Waves

Forgotten Waves

You are a Pain.
You are a sorrow.
You are a Love.
I'll not search in the darkness,
for another face.
I'll not search in the darkness,
for another time.
I'll not search in the darkness,
for another Heart.
Not feeling the pain,
and not accepting my wound.
Not sipping the remaining rain drops,
fallen in my hands.
Not understanding the meaning,
'' Iam crying ''
To shout ..To cancel my Map,
my departure from this earth.
Not adding more letters,
to my Language.
Not accepting the whole Worlds Languages.
You are a Pain.
You are a Sorrow.
You are a Love.
Don't come.
The Sea is chained by all the Fish,
and the Shore is too exhusted.
Shells waiting to stay,or
walk along the forgotten Waves,
and sings the returning song.
You are a Pain.
You are a Sorrow.
You are a Love.
I'll not stand for long.
As long as you will dream,or
i'll dream
cause the Darkness is
' Night and Fog '

My Inspiration

My Inspiration

And my beloved
decided the departure..
and my heart beats stopped.
There is no sense for the words..
and no feeling to the meaning.
She is all the world letters.
She is the sweet longing.
To whom ,should I write my letters,
and to knight my wool,
and show my love.
The letter is dead.
My beloved, I don't know
what to tell you.
My sweetest violin feeling.
My sadness is a long summer.
Don't go away.
Don't leave,I need your presence..
without you,nothing is wonderful.
You gifted me the feelings in every poem.
You tought me the secret of creation.
Don't let me alone suffer
the loos of happiness,
and the situation injustice.
I need your presance,
without you nothing is wonderful.
My station beauty suffering,
my suspicion beauty in myself.
My best life word in my poem.
The road is terrible without you,
night with no other night,
and iam with longing to your feeling
walking with lonely feelings .
Without you,
iam a hopeless saint
with no support.
Oh, my clear water
my clear sky
and my sunshine..
Sunshine of my life.

Tarek Laugh

There at the far side Tarek was dreaming,
affraid that this dream might escape..and laughing.
Affraid that someone might capture his dream.
So laying down in darkness,
hiding his body in his arms..and laughing.
The secret gurds saw him like,
a scrapped rag unconscious..and laughing.
And when the wind rolls him,starts laughing,
and if his gown pulled up by the wind..laughs more.

*******************
Your majesty :
Tarek is dragging the wind
with both hands,we saw him your majesty.
Tarek is slaping the wind..and laughing.
Lock him down in the prison,
so that he wonts slaps the wind again
and laugh.

******************
Tarek came back from his picnic in the prison,
leaving behind few years,
his head down between his both legs..and laughing.
Feeling hungry..toke some pieces
of bread left in his gown,and headed away from his family,
chewing the bread..and laughing.
And when his fingers nails stuck,
in every hole on the walls..start laughing.
And if his gown attacked by the wind,
he walks after the wind almost nude..and laughing.

********************
This Tarek is dangerous in his awakening,
dangerous in his lonelynss
dangerous in his laugh.
He is in all situations laughing your majesty.
Even ..when he is crying.
This Tarek your majesty,
frightening all trees and the wind,
frightening the sleep and awakening
and the bread..and laughs.
Lock him down in the prison,
so he cant disturbe the wind again.
not even the trees,the sleep
and even the dream..and laughs.

********************
Tarek became old in prison.
He is hopeless now after all these yaears.
As a wasted wolf shouting,
in the darkness..calling:
Let me out please.
The wind will never recognise me,
and my bread..my bread i lost it,
and my dream died inside prison.
The laugh spring i had is dreid now.
Iam a person without consideration.
Iam not what iam..
Release me now.
Im in my full conciousness.
You can check now.
Iam out of the forest madness.
Iam feeling the emptiness,
and cant laugh.
I have no tears..no dreams.
I took out my gown,
and it wont annoys the wind again.
Roll me down on the dirts,
tell my majesty:
Iam a cracked stone if you release me.
Release me..

*******************
Tarek wandered aimlessly the desert,
like a blind worm,
sometimes riding the wind,
and sometimes riding the sand,
and sometimes hiding away from the shadow.
He cant withstand this journey,
so he lied down on the sand.
A pigeon visited him,flapping between his hands,
then dropped above him a wheat seed.
Tarek was happy and said:
Why not i plant it.
It might grow up and give more wheat,
then i can grind.
The secret gurds saw him,
thrown over the sand,
talking to the golden wheat,and dreaming,
creating season in his dream.
Calling a fugitive cloud,
once tarek loved years ago in prison
but did not accept him.

*********************
You Tarek, you are under arrest,
digging the earth,without his majesty permission.
So you can uncover,the incoming years secrets,
hiding under the sand
and calling the immigrated cloud.

********************
They took him to his majesty,
he was thirsty,nude,and hungry.
The laughing situation attacked him..and laughing.

*******************
They explained to his majesty,
how his fingers were penetrating the desert,
and the cloud privacy,
and how he snatched the seed from the visited pigeon.
Tarek was laughing contineously.

*******************
His majesty shouted at Tarek,
and asked him to keep silent
but Tarek was laughing contineously

*******************
His majesty is really annoyed by Tarek
since 20 years,
he sometimes scratches the cloud,
and sometimes murdering the wind,
and sometimes injuring the earth
and sometimes with silance..and laughing.
How ? But who allwed him to laugh again?
What shall we do with him,
so that our kingdom rest in piece.
And to feel my kingdom clear,
without any remaining laughing creatures?

*********************
Tarek is still laughing.
His majesty shouted:
No.
In my kingdom there is only calmness,
nobody can assault this quietness.
Tarek is still laughing,
his majesty shouted:
No.
I want this human rest forever without any laugh,
not even a movement.

*********************
The gurds saw Tarek in the morning hanged,
on the gate.
And the wind crys..
sheltering his last Laugh.
