Planting my roots

Emerging from the shadowy depths of my enclosure
my cage
wearing nothing but my skin
drifting into the thicket

feeling the cold white velvety blanket dissolving to moisture beneath my steps
I find a patch of earth
soft grasses green
soil black as pitch, rich in vital minerals

with one thrust of my foot
I sending it plunging deeply within
one following the other
stretching out my toes….hardening….reaching…digging…. growing
anchoring me
my legs and body stiffen

brown skin darkening, thickens, hardening
raising my head to smile at father sky above
arms outstretched, reaching out…..to embrace
connecting to earth and sky

I can move nothing, as the hardening change of my skin
moves up through my torso and limbs
feet and toes growing to roots, deep down in the earth
clutching the mother’s breast…clinging

arms and fingers to branches caressing father sky
breathing a breath I’ve never before breathed
no longer through my once movable mouth and nose
now solid, clothed in a new hardened skin

bark, solid, dark, and strong
my breath moves from within my core, and radiates up and out
haaaaaaaa
my arms swaying to the whistling wind blowing through my branches

as I sigh and moan, a tune of my own
of thanks and wonder

This poem was a vision I had of myself connecting with mother Earth and Father sky, outside naked in the dead of winter

Did You Know?

When I was confused
and lost in my soul..

You found me..

I was not searching
for you.. yet

You sought me out..

I was like a lost child
in the wilderness of
life..

You saw my love and my
hatred, but you were
greater that my heart..

And you captured me with
your love..

I did not know you..

Did not understand why
you would want me..

But you knew me from
a distance..

And you loved me..

Why did you comfort
the weak..

What am I that you
would take joy in
my presence..

Did you know?

Have you measured my
devotion to you..

You are more than
the stars of heaven..

I cherish the thought
of you..

I breathe your name..

I can barely say it..

I draw a breath..

And I tremble to
speak the words..

I whisper these
words..

I whisper.. my love..
my love..

Cascade (Cascade of sad music)

Je me sens perdu dans mes pensées que je ai oublié
la tristesse écho des violons de l'automne
derrière moi l'étreinte glacée de l'hiver dernier
hante ma mémoire comme une douleur engourdissant
quand je peux espérer fleurs du printemps
Je aurais presque nier ce que je vois au dessus de moi
que les champs du ciel étoilé ne assistent
dans tout le beau mystère d'une nuit sombre
trouve une question sans réponse dans mon cœur
pourquoi vous ne avez mon amour, pourquoi me avez-vous laissé?
comme la pluie mes larmes seront jamais vraiment cesser
aussi longtemps que mon cœur bat vraiment en moi
quand je fais tout ce que je ai oublié je me souviens maintenant
la douleur engourdissant qui hante ma mémoire
violons de l'automne qui se agitent à nouveau l'intérieur de moi
la fureur de l'hiver me amène aucun réconfort
depuis mon amour, étant la lumière de ma vie
vous êtes mon pont vers le monde je réside dans
la fin de la solitude dans laquelle je habite
vous faites une différence plus que vous savez
toutes les étoiles dans le ciel chantent vos louanges
votre beauté transcende diamants sur la terre
ma honte qui a vraiment pas de nom mon amour
me fait tomber dans la repentance en face de vous
comme mes bruits de pas se écarter de votre tombe
où de belles fleurs saluent la mémoire
comme je les regarde comme les fleurs du printemps
pas de mots sur le ciel ou sur la terre mon amour
existe plus immortel que vous devant moi
pourquoi alors mon amour, je demande, me avez-vous laissé?
la pluie froide et humide est comme une cascade
de la musique triste qui ne quitte jamais mon âme.

I feel lost in thought like I have forgotten
the echoing sadness of autumn's violins
behind me the icy embrace of winter past
haunts my memory like a numbing pain
when I can look forward to flowers of spring
I should almost deny what I see above me
that the starry fields of heaven do attend
in all the beautiful mystery of a dark night
finds one unanswered question in my heart
why did you my love, why did you leave me?
like the rain my tears will never really cease
as long as my heart beats truly within me
when I do all I have forgotten I now recall
the numbing pain that haunts my memory
which autumn violins again stir inside me
the fury of winter brings me here no solace
since my love, being the light of my life
you are my bridge to the world I reside in
the end of the loneliness in which I inhabit
you make a difference more than you know
all the stars in heaven sing your praises
your beauty transcends diamonds on earth
my shame that truly has no name my love
makes me fall in repentance in front of you
as my footfalls depart your gravesite
where beautiful flowers salute your memory
as I look at them like the flowers of spring
no words on heaven or on earth my love
exists more immortal than you before me
why then my love, I ask, did you leave me?
the cold and wet rain is like a cascade
of sad music that never leaves my soul.

Another weekend...

Work week all said and done.

Weekend's here, lets have some fun.

Thats always the thoughts, which pass our mind.

Yet we come on here, there's no other fun to find.

WE say it doesn't bother us,,to be without a date.

I feel like most, I guess its just my fate.

Alone to make my own fun, my little space of ME.

So I come on this Net,,to act silly for you to see..

Writing some poems, making some jokes, or giving out pokes.

MY WEEKEND TO HAVE AND HOLD, and be so BOLD!

As time slips away,,making more lines,,to add to my old.

I hope all of you here, make the BEST of YOUR time there!!!

Change you weekend, take a walk, enjoy some real talk!

This Net will make you age twice as fast.

Do it for yourself, get out and have a BLAST! :)

Tell Me

How can such mere words bring forth such great love

To take away thy darkness and bring light

Telleth me thy secret where I may love

It seems I search but love is out of sight



The land seems barren and vast but I seek

There be the hills that form one with the sky

I search I pray I hope I continue

But maybe this thing called love is a lie



The skies have opened pouring out their rain

Upon my heart that is barely beating

I see you searching looking far away

Then our paths cross for that time so fleeting



My world became alive with your love

Once more rainbows colored sky up above

Intimacy

I want to know you so complete,
Explore each lovely inch of you,
With lips and tongue and fingertips,
Until I know you through and through.

And would you do the same to me?
To leave no part at all untouched,
While loving me so thoroughly,
This is the love I need so much.

Sharing our thoughts and how we feel,
As we nestle in love's embrace.
Telling each other all details,
While our whole lives to here we trace.

This is the way I see our love,
How I would have our life to be.
Nothing held back to stand between,
Intimacy of you and me.

no title(fall)

maple dreams in painted reams,songs of autumns heart
gold from green to red she sculpts the finest art
blending every shade by craft of times fine hand
a gradient to whispers spreading like fire on the land
tell sky becomes pale with the blue of her eyes
from which the water fly's and unto the earth supplies
all the riches which love can bring

My love I wait long time to make u read ur self between my written lines , I wrote to u about what I feel inside my soul , you will found ur beauty soul float between my words letters .
I will write for u I love u but without my normal language but with the amatory language ,with my special love language I will write for u I love u , when u r happy or sad or laugh or when life confused u , I will love u in all ur cases and in all moments I will love u and I will love u with all ur advantages and disadvantages and I will love u cos the love born inside me for u only .
I love u cos u full the world with ur love layrics and u make me prince and real man not feel his existence except for between ur warm arms .
I love u cos u r the only person who was and still the high lighting minerate of real love for me in dark sea .
I love u cos u make the scent of beauty flowers more beautiful and the sunrise with u more beautiful , I feel I was born only to love u for ever .
I love u cos when I fall in love with u , then I imagine u and draw ur beauty face features at the water surface of calm streams and paint u in the letters of my poems , you are the most beauty dream at the world and when I sleep and dream with u , I really miss to sleep for ever .
Your love as the strong storms of winter , your love as the promise of next green spring then settle in the hot and breeze of summer .
The leaves of trees drop at autumn and flowers decay but my love for u still for ever cause my love for u greater than all the lovers in the world history and present
I love u cos ur love is a habbit I like it , and a life I satisfy with it , your sweet love as I days I miss to live and stay in it , your love as long way I tired from walk at it but I love it .
I love u cos I found the soft fine breeze only with u , and found the marvelous of warm feelings with u , and I enjoy the calm of nights with listening to ur kind heart pulses .
My love , always my tears falls at ur door and my heart bleed until dry but never my heart will die and will love u for ever .
And after I buried under sand I will love u also , if they ask me about my name I will say ur sweet name , if they ask me about my address I will say ur beauty shine eyes , if they ask me about what I was do in my life I will say I was enjoy love u
with love ,khaled
