Refugee

I was seven
On that gloomy day
We were to leave at gunpoint
But I couldn’t flee without my marbles
Under the fig tree
Buried under a rock
My secret place
They smelled like soil
I counted them
One,two,three
Mother, father and me
I left with my parents
And didn’t look back
I felt that my heart would crack
Years and years
Past and died
I visited places
Far and wide
But now as I brush my snowy hair
I ask my self
And wonder
Remember and ponder
I feel like a stranger
People think that I'm a danger
Oh how I wish
And how I pray
I was those marbles
How much were they?
Yes!
One,two,three
United with the ground
Mother father and me

Truth Turmoil

Crying at the grave of your conscience
An eye that cannot see the truth is blind
Drowning in the inferno of the forgotten
An ear that cannot hear the roar of reality is deaf
Struggling to wake you from your eternal sleep
A mouth that cannot say the truth is voiceless
Sowing the seeds of hope for the innocent
A heart that doesn’t beat for others is lifeless
Maybe you'll realize everything once this night ends
When the silver moon sleeps
Or perhaps when I finish counting the stars

Cold Candles

Here I am
Enclosed in the sphere of my doubts
Shadows of the past haunting me
Crouching on the frosty floor of reality
Surrounded by cold candles
Breathing in the mist
The scent of death
Lingers in the air
I am the eternally forgotten
Dressed in the gown of my mortality
My frostbitten lips still trembling
Chanting the songs of my mystified childhood
Contemplating those who mortified my life
Those who clouded the truth with their lies
My savage spirit seeking the pleasure of vengeance
Winds of change stinging my skin
A luster of hope still sleeps in my eyes
And yet sorrow is my bliss
Despair is my hope
Weakness is my strength
This coldness is my warmth
And darkness is my light

I Searched.

I searched for you
In the eyes of people
In the stories of the old
In the blue of the sea

I searched for you
In the lure of my dreams
In the truth of my lies
In the bliss of my screams

I searched for you
On the map of our defeat
In the dictionary of their words
Between the stars

I searched for you
Between the cracks of my feelings
In the nests of revenge
Under the petals of pride

I searched for you
In the gloom of my nostalgia
In the sky of my sorrow
In the dawn of my hope

I found you
In the core of my heart
Engraved with letters of passion
Palestine.....a flame
Whispering warmth and light

We cannot be together,
But we'll never be apart,
For no matter what life brings us,
You’re always in my heart.

Give laugh to all but smile to one, Give cheeks to all but lips to one, Give luv to all but heart to one, Let everybody luv u but u luv one.

Forever and a Day
by David C
If I could have anything in the world.
All the riches, on earth or up above.
I would have none of it.
All I could ever want or need is your love.

Your beauty surpasses that of a goddess.
Your wonderful laugh is sweeter than a birds.
Just call my name, and I will try to be there for you.
Just say the word.

Every precious memory I have of you, I treasure.
More than anything else I have or will ever have.
Just think of all the times we've had together.
Every smile, every laugh.

Every day I'm away. You're the one I'm thinking of,
You're the one I miss.
I wish I could live with you forever, because if this isn't true happiness, I don't know what is.

I don't know love is, or what it is to love.
But the feeling I have for you is truly great.
If this is love, than I'll always love you.
Love always, Forever and a day..

For Her..

Tell me what to do
by Mike
I could never explain why I love you so much,
It's your eyes, your smile, your soft gentle touch.

The first time I saw you I knew it was meant to be,
You'd spend your lifetime giving your love to me.

But I took your trust and broke your heart,
I pushed you away, forever to be apart.

The one thing I love more than life itself,
Ran away from me to be by herself.

I walk this house calling your name,
It seems so empty, not nearly the same.

I can't help but cry as I look at through your things
What hurts the most is to see your engagement ring

Sitting in it's case, inside this wooden box
I should take the key and see if it locks

And throw it in the woods, to try to ease my pain,
but it wouldn't matter, it still be the same.

All of these memories are inside my head,
sometimes I'd think I'd rather be dead.

Than to live my life without my one true love,
You're my shining star, my beautiful little dove.

I'd give everything to turn back time,
Back to the days when you were mine.

You were happy and our love was strong,
Neither of us could do no wrong.

I'm down on my knees and I'm begging you
tell me what it is I need to do.

To win back your love and rebuild our trust,
Cause to hold you again is an absolute must!

Thinking of you
by Rachel
I have been thinking of you,
And the way you make me feel.
I'm getting scared now
Cause these feelings feel so real,
I've always felt it,
But it's never been this strong
I cannot fall now
I've got to hold on.
When my eyes are on you
It's so hard to look away.
When its time too leave you
I so badly want to stay.
I want to tell you
What's running through my head
But for now I'll just keep it to myself instead,
Cause I want nothing to jeopardize
The friendship that we created over the years,
And I don't want to be left
Heartbroken and in tears.
I want you to know how I feel,
And that I mean it, sometimes
I just want to scream it, its real.
These words have been bottled up inside
They explain the feelings I hide
And the failed times I've tried.
I don't know how much longer I will keep this in,
Thinking of ways,
Don't know where to begin.
Deeply confused,
Don't know what to do,
I'll just leave it be, wait and see,
It will happen if it's meant to be.
I have your friendship,
But I really want your heart
This is tearing me apart;
I don't know what to do
I just want to be with you,
Make you happy and make you smile.
Though times I cant see you for a while,
Its only cause my hearts desires can't be filled.
It's hard to know you're with someone else
When all I want is you here with me,
I want to show you what this could be;
I don't want to tell you
I want you to just open up your eyes and see.
I want you to feel it,
The feelings that I feel,
I really want to show them,
These feelings are so real.
But I can't show you,
I probably never will because
I want to walk, but your standing still.
These are the feelings inside of me,
That are locked away
Waiting to be free,
Drowning my heart in misery.

نبض متميز

I wanted a mansion once... that is until I met you,
Now the only place I want to live is inside your heart
I once desired diamonds... until I met you,
Now the only sparkle I need comes from within
I used to crave the finest clothing... until I met you,
Now I want not a single thread to separate our bodies
I once coveted a fancy car... until I met you,
Now I want nothing that would put miles between us
I once prayed for money... until I met you,
Now I want none of the things money can buy
I once yearned for a sense of security... until I met you,
Now my only security comes is knowing you are near
I once dreamt of a prestigious job... until I met you,
Now I find my success in knowing that you are happy
I once asked for the world on a silver platter... until I met you,
Now you are my world and I want for nothing but your touch
Loving you has been my teacher; you taught me not to want
Being with you has been my discovery; you are all that I need
Finding you has been my salvation, I now understand grateful
But perhaps of most importantly...
Your love in return has been my everything

LOVE YOU IN SILENCE
Author : Honey Cai

You came into my life
Quietly, simply, tenderly...
The world stood still
I could not say a word
Nor a single gestured showed.

The feeling kept in my heart
So I've loved you in silence
Worshipped ypu from a distance
And dreamt of you so often.

I want to say I Love You,
But I'm afraid...
Afraid that you'll just take it for granted.
In silence then, I'll just love you.
In silence I'll find...
The fulfillment of my dreams.

My Friend, My Love

It began as all fires do,
a spark soon ignited into a blaze of warmth and colourful delight.
You held my hand, became my friend,
earned my trust and my future once again looked bright.

Loneliness turned to hope,
emptiness filled up with dreams.
Hunger was satisfied,
and the darkness lit by love's moonbeams.

Tears no longer hit the ground,
they fall on your loving shoulder.
I feel younger,
as our love grows older.

When sorrow leaves me wilted as a sun-parched rose,
your comfort is a river that flows and flows.
The sun's light, the morning dew,
they are all the beauty that is you.

When passion ebbs,
as tides do,
love fills the wake,
and carries us through.

Your strength is as the oak,
but if it is my need you bend like the willow.
My heart is filled,
like a lucky sail with wind to billow.

Harsh cold winters,
wet springs, blissful summer heat, and the fall of time,
They'll weather my spirit,
with grace and peace, your hand in mine.

Our love's sweet creations, joyous children,
blessed am I thanks to God and you.
What greater beauty could shed light,
on the love that came from two.

Love's sweet reflection,
laughing, growing, thriving, learning.
Words cannot express what my heart feels,
how strong my love is burning.

When God took one home,
I felt my heart would never again see the sun.
But you, my love, walked with me, through the sadness,
and together we share the memories that keep our family one.

The lines of age will etch their mark on us
and time will take the strength from our bodies.
But love's brush will paint for us a picture of such beauty,
That a hundred lifetimes could not remove their glory.

How Do I Love Thee? (Sonnet 43)
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

My Angel

My sweet beautiful angel.
Sent to me from above.
I am so grateful to have found you,
and I give you all my love.

You must have come from heaven,
because you have pretty little angel eyes.
When you gaze at me with them,
my heart begins to fly.

Your sweet angelic voice,
continuously rings in my ears.
With you by my side,
there is nothing I fear.

Whenever we are together,
You shine with a heavenly glow.
Your beautiful angel face,
raises me up from feeling low.

Yes, heaven is missing an angel,
because you are here with me.
You're my sweet, beautiful angel,
and I'll love you for eternity!

Speech after long silence; it is right,
All other lovers being estranged or dead,
Unfriendly lamplight hid under its shade,
The curtains drawn upon unfriendly night,
That we descant and yet again descant
Upon the supreme theme of Art and Song:
Bodily decrepitude is wisdom; young
We loved each other and were ignorant.
