The Brightest Sun

The Brightest Sun
The beautiful meadow,So green with pride,The beautiful meadow,This is where we can hide.The highest mountain,The clouds are down below,The highest mountain,Is where we are to go.The deepest sea, With fish galore,The deepest sea,Is where we can soar.The brightest sun, Beams down from above,The brightest sun,Sends lots of love.

Feelings

Feelings
F is for the freedomThat we share in our loveThe first E stands for effort It's the joy that God gives from aboveThe last E is for everythingThat you have always meant to meThe L stands for loveLong and lasting Deeper than the seaThe last three letters are the mind setThe exclamation point of one's soul Feelings is what I feelTo have and to hold.

Loving You

Loving You
In moments of splendor,Hearts and souls release in rapture,Climbing to hieghts never reached,Floating in the clouds of jubilation,Feeling warmth and closeness,Touching a total oneness.IN moments shared,We laugh, we feel,And our hearts grow.In moments shared,Our hearts and souls,They dance and sing,While composing sweet music.In all of this,Butterflies flutter,Emotions flood,And our love grows,And in the empty moments,I MISS YOU!

Spirit Of The Night

Spirit of the Night
Moonlight seeping through the curtains.The window is open.A cool breeze ruffles the sheets on her bed.Stars twinkle in the night sky.The room is dimly lit.She stares out the windowwith her pale eyes.Sleep just wouldn't come.It had been a day like all others,filled with sadness and frustration.Tears began to pool in her eyes.She bowed her head and let them fall.Each drop shimmered on her windowsill.The pain was almost un bearable.She swept out the room, down the stairs,and out the door,never thinking twice.

Kind Is Your Love

Kind Is Your Love
Pleasant dreams you wished me;Oh, how pleasant they have been.Pleasant dreams you wished me;Oh, my lover and my friend.You gave me more of yourselfThan anyone I'd known;You reached out full length,Your inner soul was shown.So glad I didn't miss youAs your heart reached out to mine;So glad I really kissed you,Felt your love in this lifetime.Thank you for my happy heart,Dear love of mine;Thank you for my happy heart,Your love was kind!

See Queen

Sea Queen

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 Sea queen you areAnd I couldn't believe what a star.

Existence

Existence
Heart hurts, heart pacesThumping inside, racing awayUncontrolable attackOf the strangest kind,Heart is playing with my mind.Beating, pulsing bloodRushing through my veins,Entering systematicallyThrough my shell,Revitalising and pumping my existence.There is a connection...A solution for the moment.Free to be wholeAccepted and heldWanted and loved,Understood and shelteredFrom a world so wrong.I live with the beatI'd die in the rhythmBut this is my song.

Love's Torture

Love's Torture
Inside. Screaming.Wanting to let go.The truth sets me free.But, why can't it be?Let it be free.I'm enslaved.My mind, heart, and soul have me captive.Heart feels love,Mind says no.Let me free,Can't let go.Soul doesn't know.Choices to be made,words must be expressed.Who must decide?Heart, mind, or soul?Must let go.So much,too much,Inside my heart,inside my mind.Must be set free.Can't breath.What will set me free?Heart, mind, or soul?

I Love You

I love you,and dont know my love limit to you
and dont know how your love were able to cross those limits.
I love you , and dont know how did you entered inside my vanes
and mixed with my blood.
I love you ,and dont know how you control my all thinking this way,
and surrounding it in a closed circle,can't find the way out of it.
I love you and i dont know how and when, and why i love you.
I love you ,and dont know how to explain my love to you,
nothing is like this love.
I love you,and dont know the way to make you the most happy
person in the universe.
I love you,and dont know how to reassemble my parts,which is melting
in your love.
I love you,and can't stop my feelings.
I love you,and don't know the end of this love,
i feel this love will never reach it's end.
I love you,and i know only you'r love.

Winds Of The Soul

Winds of the Soul
Winds of the soul like a candle's burning fire,struggling to find its inner most desire: Two paths ahead lie in wait, one by choice and one by fate; for one will tempt and the other will guide, but no easy task and no easy ride. Temptations as deep as the passions of love, yet weakened by the purity and strength of a dove. The path to take is the one to keep,but remember the voices that weep. So when the winds of the soul are tormented by doubt and ravaged about,look to the skies for the answer thatnever lies.

Your Light

Your Light
Quietly, while you were asleep,So far away from me,The moon and I were talking.I asked that he'd always keepYou protected and safe for me.He promised you his light,That you gracefully carry.You bring me light, and you Shine like the morning.Then the wind pulled the Clouds across the moon. Your light filled the darkest room,And I can see the miracleThat keeps us going.

She Is

She is the one in my heart,
she is the one who brings out light from the dark.

She is someone i can never define,
she is the one always on my mind.

She is the one who brings out my inner style,
she is my reason to smile.

She is the one who keeps our love young,
for me, she is the only one.

She is the one who i believe,
she is the one i know can never deceive.

She is the one who declares her love so clear and loud,
she is the one who can drown out the crowd.

She is the one for whom i stay,
'' I Love You " is the only thing i can say..
to make things go our way.

It's You

It's You

It's you ,after so long time.
Came to the dream border and,
lightend my dark meeting,
with Jasmine season.
Brought the life to my inside river.
Uproaring it with longing.
"I love you" .
You never said that even for once.
But that's all my self illusion,
to belive it was said.
It became in my life as a certainty.
Where from you came,
and all my life crossing closed.
Are you created from my chest?
From my Blood?
after being stored ,all those years.

Feelings

Feelings

Sometimes the feelings are hard to show,
sometimes they never let you go!

Sometimes they desperately ponder,
sometimes they make you lay all night awake and wonder!

My feelings know the real me,
what's living inside and outside me!

They know the depth of my heart,
they know from where i start!

They know the reason why i give,
they know for whom i live!

In the corner of my heart there is someone,
but i don't tell about him to everyone!

But it's hard to keep anything away from my feelings,
because they never let go of me,

And befor i know myself,
they know the real me!

I'll Wait

I'll Wait

I'll wait with a beautiful patience
and a passion hope..
I'll wait
like the plain wait
the clouds love
and lay down on you my only love shadow
when it sleep
and when your footsteps
passes the immigrated roads
i send my heart
a peace messenger
to guard your pulse...so that
no dark silance pass over it
and if your lips felt thirsty
and the rain immigrated
i'll purge my water
in your soul hands
make it a love spring...which
will creat and send the life
again in your roots
and if the sadness touched you one day
and you felt the tight world
surrounding
i'll read to you one verse
from the love book
write the love code
knit the roses at your footsteps
and sometimes sings
the love dove songs..
I'll wait
even if my time passed me
and departing time arrive
i'll listen to your steps
and dream that..
only on your soul hand
the ends live .

Silk & Bells

Silk & Bells

At dawn the sun open
the tree country
and realease the birds
and at night
the moon lock them
and release the spirits..
Silk and Bells
i hear a woman voice
open the silent mountain door
takes the ivory lamps to
the temple and altar steps
then she sleep...the guards sleep.
Between...Silk and Bells
produced
lips...wine....lyre
body became mature
in an old man arms
knows the god wine
and the people wine.
Silk and Bells
creat what i see
and see what i creat
undress the secrets...and cover the secrets
i can win over the world
the moment the world losses
my language on the lips made of gold
or light of the flower in the dream tree
at the large memory border
the first memory..
Silk and Bells
I can climbe in the things garden
shine like the full moon
over water..
Dance over the red knife
between..
the earth and heaven.

Things Memory

Things Memory

Come close ..let me realize the things memory..and my memory.
Oh female..how to announce your love to the world
how to write you a poem..a text..a new version and madness.
A woman mastering the femininity drawing by letter
playing with the poet affairs in my body..
hiding the fear in my papers
and iam crazy with you..if i say : I love you.
I hanged our sins on the cave walls with pleasure.
Is it my fault when i feel the love.
I release my papers to the wind
wisper in the soul
come my soul rose..
Iam the mad..from your eyes wrot..the lovers poem
iam in passion..and when i reach to your eyes,
i forget all the songs i use to call in secret.
Love you with madness...whispering in the love cave alone..
longing to the water and your eyes..two sad rivers,
and iam a falling king removed from the water memory.
Walking with love for years to meet you
and the crown your both soft hands.
Come let us go to the love fast
you are more than the eye bloom...
my first and last memory.

My Everything

My body said you are my soul.
My flower said you are my fragnance.
My heart said you are my beat.
My eyes said you are my tears.
My love said you are my deepness.

My life said you are my happiness.
My dream said you are my wish.
My soul said you are my everything.

Without You

Without You

The silence pinches me.
The wind haunts me.
Summer never ends.
Winter never starts.
My dreams are stolen.
My wishes are gone.
Leaves fall, tears drop.
Drop into as ocean-A never -ending ocean.
Sweet dreams, horrible nights.
Dark skies and lonely shadows.
I fall into an abyss of fire.
An abyss of darkness.
Trickling down my eyes comes the blood.
Where innocent water has vanished.
I am left far behind in Cupid's race.
And that is without you.
For with you , there is so much more...

Be Fare For Once

Be Fare For Once

nothing left in between us to call it
our addresses lost
and the way ....the memory of the first house
nothing left in between us ...only this long emptiness
you are not what you are...you
and i...not what iam
i can do nothing
my blood is empty
my face color is empty
my feet are lost
every day i saw a gost in my dream
to the war field leads me
i saw my self dead there
running along the the space of my body
affraid of my tomorrow
nothing is left in between us to call it
let me arrange my self
and be fare ...for once in this life
our all wishes and hopes lost
i'll come to you
but where
iam faraway than you can think
i became a grave yard for wishes
became the base of it
became a remote song
trying to find a second life

I'll Be There

I'll Be There

When the walls within your world starts falling
count on me to help you put them up.
When love seems it's out of reach
look into my eyes and you'll see me you seek.
When life's treasures get buried
hand me a shovel and we'll dig them up.
When your body's needs aren't met
between your sheets i will creep.

As much i love you i live.
I see myself in you and i live.
I see the soul dancing like the kisses
on your lips.
I build my heaven on your forhead
and enter it in peace as a messenger.
I am the messenger of love in the dark period.
I am the one who confined his soul in your presence.
I am the traveler inside youe soul
carrying a letter written with love tears
asking to live in your

The Mountain lamp

The Mountain Lamp

The cloud hit you
then the deep thunderbolt appears
and the sleeping trees woke up
Does the wind blood bloomes in the light circles?
The night silance is active
the death roads are filled
with black fog..
The terrified coldness rush
to your chest
and it was in flame
saw my winter
bleeding flowers... and a fire wheat.
How beautiful is my thunderbolt?
As it is flying...running to you
Oh.. love you
the mountain glory lamp
and love the laurel fighting
at your sides
forgot..
as i cut the horror in the trees
my stars
in your hands
called my body..stone
and says to my death
it is enough for the dawn to burn out
and stop it's smile
in your eyes.
Your face will remember me
when you see my blood
and the grass on it's corners
exchange it's lonlyness
in it's first village.

The Dream Woman

The Dream Woman

Suddenly she was shining in the middle of the soul
then she went hiding
on the way i crried...sent my face to the pain door.
I remember when she said come...
and she went absent
she was not like the one in the book
not even like the one in the cities
and not on the roads
i just remember the smell of her being
and a soft light appearing from the high window
like a night shining with a remote song
i heard her for a while when she
mixes the love in her songs
and then cross the hot silk...
I use to hear the weakness of the breath
hear the air silence
hear from the deep side of the heart
the taste of the meeting.
I had the courage
i called her
she signaled me...
come
and disappeared.

My Only Love

My Only Love

They asked me who is the one
you feel in your heart?
They asked me who is the one
you really love?
and if so , when she's away do you miss her
and if so , can you describe her in one word...
I thought to answer
i kept silent
i was afraid
i was worried
i could't find an answer
i went in silance.
Shall i describe the softness of your talks
or the deep love inside of you
when you are happy..or sad
God bless you..
Really iam afraid to talk about you
iam worried for you ..
I dont want anybody to know anything
about you..or be close to you
you are alone my love..
So how i can describe my love
only for me is..
your affectionate
your being.

Separation

Music trembling..
by my side
keeps it's fire colors
keep's it's flower
in my suspicious vase.
Music travels away from my world
dosen't come back in it's time
alone...
with step smell i stay
alone in the next day
my wings...dosen't read
dosen't write..
my wings in death
and my worrys almost ready
to kill it.
I didn't notice
how many misery drinks the coffee
how my blood
approches the empty cup
like my suspicious.
I know my madness
blows the sincere tune
and weeping a lot.
-The fire crys my bleeding pain-
The music
will vanish like a glory
the time has come for it
to defeat my soul..

and write the love in your language.

Hide your soul in my border,
and be the presance of my being.
Take a torch from my blood.
Light up the awaiting longing,

Between Two Paradise

Between Two Paradise

Iam the traveler between your eyes
between this right and this left
thousand of gladness
abandoned my goods
and passed the sun strings in between them
carrying my worry on my hand palm
i'll rest in peace for an hour in between them
sending away my suffering
throwing my grief in a hole
between longing and longing...
I saw no sorrow...no star to disturbe me
feel the hunger..and i crave for your eyes
feel the thirst..and i crave for your eyes
and iam migrating between your eyes
in a sweet pride.
Please hear the good omen my sweet heart
it's me again..the wounded silance has come..
unsure to come forward or backward
but..they are both my paradise.

Missing You

Missing You

A little bit of you
and a little bit of me
have switched respective places
in a justifying ''we''
when miles come between us,
and our lives are drawn apart,
our thoughts remain together
tugging softly at the heart.
The emptiness that comes with
just the memory of your touch
stirs a feeling from within that says :
I miss you honey very much.

Homeland

now the time is singing for us and crys
on the ship board
the waves draws it's bitter eternal marshing
what a hard feeling ...my soul lonesome
when it languished along the distance
my home getting away , i can't see my shores.
homeland - we are going towards the flame
for that we left behind our bleeding mother
be careful , cause the dark alarm saying:
we will never return
we will never see after this day
the hills of my homeland dancing with the wheat,the fields gold
and the homeland moon which i'll never see after this day
keeps us in an eternal misery.

Old Road

Old Road

Is everything considered
in our old road
while we walk and walk
do we meet one day in this road?
or both of us chained
do we cross those distances inspite of the chains
and talk about the day story..again
and we meeet in this road
do our soul love meet the life secret
or we are lost in the love meetings
do we run like young lovers do on the roads
and dance with the life wisper
do we cross those years
and break the hard chain
or both of us sad and chained
in this old road
in this existence.

Pride Of Love

Pride Of Love

You may flash in my mind as an idea
or i draw you a wish ..
or glance
i may feel your blessing swallowing me
or seek you as a daily poem in my songs
i may drink the wine in your forest
but i'll never listen to the stopping voice
wandering between
the shocking corridors.
I'll move in the love galleries
jailing in my self the love desire
and say time and time..
How much you want me.

Day Dream

You look at me and smile, Then take me in your arms, Hold me and I feel safe. You tell me that you love me, The sparks are about to fly, Here it comes: It's time to kiss, I tremble with excitement, And hope it will never end. Then I hear my name being called: Far away but getting closer, And suddenly you're gone, Back across the room. It was just a daydream. I look at you longingly, Then turn away, Only to return to reality .

The Shelter Of Your Eyes

The Shelter of Your Eyes
In telling you these secret wordsAll of my wounds will heal,So let me look into your eyesAnd tell you what I feel.So long and tedious was my roadIn search of something real,So cold I felt and so aloneThat I lost all my zeal.At once I felt unchained and freeWhen my gaze caught your eyes,I sailed through oceans deep and calmI floated in the skies.In there I stayed and wish to liveUntil our cheap world dies,So if you're lost just seek my heartIt's where your presence lies.

Home Of Angels

Home of Angels
Beyond the spring, past the brook; well beyond a place called home, Angels play in a world of white where the snow is never cold. Back towards home yet still far away; the pass beyond the Glade, the flowers wither as pixies become sick, hope lives where the Angels dwell. Once again back on the path; stopping before the brook; where trees die beforethey can live and no one knows of gnomes,a world of Angels is unknown. Home at last! Breathing in smog, as oilburns while laying roads; a human child dreams of a place where Angel's play, A place so very far away from home.

The Life Goddess

The Leaf Goddess
August,,2005,, Damascus
Gracious grounds her feet touchedAnd her scent she left, mixed with the scents of trees,Flying around over airy spaces. . .Rain, she touched, Turned it into dew Under the dim light of hope.Following her senses,Following where her heart lead her,She flew, Through the green woods ahead,Gone to lands of undiscovered tribes Where waters flowed in vibrant motions,In quest of a world, an underworld.Artistically ironically she was going on. . .Revolving in violent storms that lived with herLeft silky lines drawn along the curves of her face.Still she knew not where she was going."Do not wait for me" she whispered. . . "Do not".

Wishes
I dream of the day of peace of mindWhen worries are not of goldWhen happiness flows like rushing streamsAnd the days have not yet grown old.I dream of the day of peace on earthWhen the last hunger pain will ceaseWhen the homeless have smiles and a roof overheadAnd man has comforted the beast.I dream of the day when love's all aroundWith the elders as safe as the strongWhen the violence will stop and the fist put to restAnd the lonely find where they belong.I dream of the day when my dreams all come trueAnd life stops hurting so muchWith warmth and smiles and justice and peaceAnd love for all within touch.

Tears Of Heaven

Tears of Heaven
The deafening roar of the windblasts through her ears.The clouds part and the rain falls,plasters her hair to her face.Tiny rivers soak into her skinsoaking her clothes.She dont run for cover.The rain cleanses her
of her guilt and her fears.It makes her feel alive.She stretch her arms towards Heavenasking for more.Thats all they can givefor now.Out of nowhere the sun comes out.In seconds she is dry.It shines on her face,brings a sparkle to her dark eyes.She is so happy she start to cry.Happy tears are what she call them.

The Yearning

The Yearning
She walked toward him,With love in her heart.He did not notice her feelings,But smiled with fun.She told him how she feltHe laughed at her and walked away.She never thought she'd hear his voice again,Until two months laterWhen he asked her to marry.She refused for she could not afford to haveHer heart broken once again.He said he understoodWhile inside he cried.And still this day,He yearns for the girl's eternal love.He regrets the way he treated her.But the girl still secretly loves himShe's waiting for the day she gets the courage to tell him...
