In the shadows of the abyss,
where light shatters apart,
hearts ablaze dance softly
in whispers of furious souls.

We cry out to the steel sky,
where pain becomes a song -
blood and steel, love and chaos
in the battle of existence.

Paths of fire and steps of hope:
among echoes of screams,
we awaken the lance.

Echoes of the past
are shackles that bind us,
but we are titans in free...

We are ancient hearts

A beat so strong

We are the petals of love

A touch so gentle 

We are the faintest shadows 

A dance so deft

We are the flicker of candles

A flame so gentle

We are the trace of embers

A light so dim 

We are one

A fate so destined

We are absent

A presence so cold

Do what you must to ensure they don’t see.

Rationalize and pretend it won’t be.

Wish it away to escape from it all.

Cover it up like the paint on the wall.

Cloak it in layers of varying hue,

carefully crafted to keep it from view.

Do what you can with all effort and might.

Make every move just to keep it from sight.

Do what you must but in time you will ...

Sweep me off my feet,

Carry me through this dreamlike state, and

Spin me faster than I’ve ever spun before.

Call me yours,

Call me his, hers, or

Call me mine. I do not care.

Shower me with golden rain,

Bathe me in the sin of mortality, and

Let me retain this tiny bit of humanity I still have.

Do not remind me of my greater purpose

For I do not know what...

Like a coin

tossed in the air,

chance will decide

whether I will land heads or tails

To have control is almost impossible,

when I think I'm at the top

someone incapable or enviously sick

comes from behind

and knocks me down to the ground

I get up smiling,

starting again;

leaving nothing half done,

that's how I face life;

even when insults rain down ...

Recently I fell out of love
And
Recently I fell into Love
But
It was an accident
Or
Was it fate?
Love
Opens my eyes
To
Things I never
Thought
Could ever be 
Possible
Love
Brings me happieness
Where
Before it was 
Squashed
Not to replace my 
Own
But in addition 
To
I know what
Love
Brings to the

And I accept

I was the ocean and he was the moon, 

Nature's opposites yet love would sprout soon.

As I push against his gravitational pull 

Though on my axis, my heart's orbit falls. 

Quite often I am his biggest challenge,

But as the ying to his yang he fixes this imbalance.

My spirit soul mate who facilitates my flow, 

Through the high and low tides our love for one another shows.

I'm a reptile

But I'm warmer 

When I'm with you

You stir something in me

Like I'm always on the edge of something

There’s a chemical reaction between us

It makes me feel like static energy 

Could we really be the result of chance?

Can chance pull like a magnet?

Or is this kismet?

Because

It runs fast, long, rife

It is our double life

She was too scared to tell him,

So she played the friendship part.

He stole her affection, like a thief in the night

Unknowingly planting the seed, but she forbid it to see the light.

I needed time to prepare

The whole thing rushed

Not even done my hair

Our first date was a joy

You polished up my id

Later it was downhill

Absolving what you did

Stop at such carnage?

Damage far too raw

May as well see it out

Let us call it a draw

Maybe next time,

I will get it right, 

put up more of a fight, 

won’t settle,

take control of my life. 

Maybe next time, 

I will find fortune and fame,

learn how to play the game.

Maybe next time,

I will see it through, 

know the right thing to do.

Maybe next time,

you will love me,

as much as I love you.

Fate's ways may be kind or wicked

They say Kismet was always erratic

Life's boons may dangle before you

Getting them is far from automatic

The day we met was a normal affair

Until you materialised in the room

That cryptic blur was elemental

Your soul nailed me to my doom

Nailed to my doom I linger on

I've never quite shaken you off

I've prayed often for you ...

I can’t see

But I can dream

It’s like wearing a blindfold

On my brown eyes

I can’t watch, but I can feel

All these weird wild vibes

All these angelic faces around me

But those diabolic souls surround me

Are they real or are they fake?

It’s like watching a blue snowflake

Falling for smiles and grace

All night murdering for a race

I can’t wait

Resistance is futile. 

You will not find rest

as long as I am near,

The greatest things in life cannot be seen,

Like happiness, love and serenity,

Anger, malice, wrath and rage,

I'm sick of these feelings as I grow with age,

There's more to life than being locked up,

Slamming dope and running amuck,

Looking over my shoulders the paranoia doesn't stop,

The fun is all gone and the streets are too hot,

Life on the run has turn into a drag,

I sliced the sun into two

And looted shimmering bars of gold

Which lined her womb, 

Her beloved broods I stole. 

I plucked the sturdiest mountains, 

The choicest adornments on the face of the globe. 

All it took were my hands, raw and unrestrained, 

Their maimed rubbles now abuse those they adore.

I remember the sea that like Moses I parted

And the ocean floor ...

Fall in here

A gentle push

You can have too much of a good thing

When even the taste of caviar palls

Our line is more like periwinkles

We live mostly within these walls

We've not had fun for ages

Lately I've felt an urge to break free

Why not the funfair or Ilkley moor?

If only your specialist would agree

Your arthritis is a bit of a downer

One-way traffic to vegetation

All day long 

I think of you. 

I can’t wait to get home 

to be with you,

to feel your ink drip 

between my fingers.

You are my love,

my passion,

my muse.

I know you will 

never leave me. 

We are bound 

by a legacy of words, 

that braids our soul.

Our poetry echoes 

through time and space, 

leaves a soft place 

for broken hearts to land.

Love once bloomed 
like a fragrant flower
in eternal spring.

Through years of 
torrential summer tears, 
then droughts,

the scent faded.

All that seemingly remains
are scorched petals that drop 
like dead leaves in fall.

But, far beneath 
the frozen surface, 
intertwined roots run deep...

Making our twisted love 
hardy, to weather the 
toughest seasons.

My fate is not in your hand

GOD makes our fates alone

Our life are surely planned

GOD feeds the ant in the stone

World is certainly small

If compared to Galaxy as shown

Whoever believes is a giant

GOD to perish the giant alone

MY heart is calm and glad

Satisfied of what I own

Whatever you earn in the dark

SURELY you'll pay it at noon

Fool me once 
shame on you.

Fool me twice

Fools forever

Think it through
before you give up

for a moment

on the sinking ship
of fools.

to do whatever muses do, 

you will come back,

Translation of my Arabic Poem (“The Choice”) 

Who, in the World, chooses his birth? 
Who chooses his family and children? 
Who chooses his fate and country? 
Who chooses the time to go to heaven? 

But it is possible to choose our day 
To sincerely care about family and work 
This will be the first right step to our future 
To achieve our goals while we're alive

What are the chances 

of two lost souls 

light-years apart

colliding twice in life?

Astronomical. Yes!

The dance is sweeter, 

with ego out of the way. 

All that remains is love

purified by the same rock-bottom

pressure that turns grains of sand into

pearls, coal into diamonds. 

Not lustful love, agape. 

Godly, unconditional love for humanity. 

Forgiving. Acce...

We were lame and we were young,

Walking in the woods,

While singing our song,

Never in my dreams, felt anything wrong,

Thought you were always coming along,

Do not remember where exactly I lost you,

My eyes searched for you in heavy fog,

I continued my journey amidst the rocks,

Shivered through-out the night,

Darkness was blocking my sight,

Always thought that you wer...

Too much reality

I prefer to temper it

With my glasses on
I can see past the ego

war within.

I can see that the
past, present, and
future are all 
an illusion...

On us and on our scars

I do not get it when they do not believe us,

I cannot express the pain in words,

Let’s run away from the chains of pain,

Let’s run away where we can dance in rain,

She wanted to fly high

But was afraid to fell from the blue sky

She longed for someone

To come along her way

To guide her throughout

No matter what the world says

She would believe in miracles

She would have been living free

Chained in the shackles

She longed to breathe

If you are pschotic you can tell by your eyes,

It's easier to believe
I am a child of the most high God
than to live a life of despair.

It's easier to believe
everything happens for a reason
than to question fate.

It's easier to believe
love is everywhere
than to give in to hate.

It's easier to believe
in forgiveness
than remain a victim.

It's easier to believe
in abundant blessings
than mounting problems.

One night, i was cruising in my porsche, with my music blaring, When i noticed this fine girl stood staring.

She was so beautiful, real sexy too,
She approached my ride, right on cue. She knocked on my window and asked for a ride, I smiled at her and happily replied,

You're the one i cant do without,

In those darkest, darkling months

when both belief and hope were lost

when love was stretched taught beyond endurance

when pain and understanding spiralled

Still

There was some doubt of destiny:

could love be snatched away;

and child a mother lose?

A new reality to supplant all we knew

                                                                        and dreamt.

When you fall for a girl, your whole world changes.
What you say, what you do, how you think, how you even breathe.
She is the air you take in.
The air you never want to let go.
You do better in class because you love the way her smile makes you feel,
you make lame jokes just to hear her laugh.
You sit in silence because everything she does is amazing.
The way she speaks Spanish, the way sh...

I feel it like a thud,

then I damn the hope

Your green eyes are shining in the night of my mind
Thoughts are fading away with the dawn of your smile
Words are sailing away, papers are turning back to trees
And God is lighting his cigarette with thunder while scribbling my fate

God is a poet, I think and his words are people
But I'm parenthesized, that's why you can't read me
Stuck in arrogant sentences or thrown to the end

A flip. A flop.

A rustle of the feathers

Its all bringing back memories

Better times

Better places

Oh, but look at that face!

Heart beating faster

Pitter. Patter.

Quick! Look away!

Don't catch that gaze

It's written all over your face

Play it cool

Don't be a fool

Raise that gate

Shh! Wait....

What is that knocking....

Plasma screen; well kept, clean 
Silenced screams
And faces pleased 

Artificial combustion
Will as strong as a Russian 
Why how is it fantastic?

To become cynical and sarcastic 
Grow older and bolder

Unfold the killer 
Be who you are 

The fault in our stars
It is merely a myth you see

Found a crushed paper

Beneath a lovely old book

Like one dropped by blues

Had an enigmatic look

Against questions unfathomable;

Thousand answers it opined

Penned was my name

 ‘Twas stamped as “DESTINED”!!

 I felt a connect,

And flipped a corner,

Bold chevron lines read,

“Seed and then garner”

Ink fluttered to allude

Loud and clear message;

I slide down a rope
     into the empty chasm 
          which is your cold heart. 
I light a fire 
          in the depths of your despair. 
You hate me anyway. 
It rains. 
An ocean is born; 
          it swallows me whole. 
Darkness engulfs me. 
Surrounded by other misguided souls. 
I feel their cages; 
     I discover mine.
