online today!Enough As Can Be ....
I want that somebody who'll be the first to support me,
protect ... defend ..... console me ...
Not the first one to emotionally hurt me ...
demean me... debase me...
just because I dont meet exacting expectations...
not up to par with one's "taste"...
And thereafter , seemingly punched in the gut
before getting thrown off the curb..
made me feel ... for one brief moment ...
like a crumpled piece of waste ...
It perplexes me how somebody can hurt
the one they supposedly love..
when I would have thrown myself infront
to protect him from any peril thereof...
Pointless to ask " how" or "why" ...
no any reshoot possible...
no words said nor deed done deletable
to prevent the tears
already shed and now dry...
I have learned that while giving / sharing
most of my love & heart to one I love...
wisest to save enough for SELF-RESPECT ,
to cushion any hurt ...
if ever that ship hits the rocks
and gets tragically wrecked ...
A partner should be one's rock & safe haven ...
the very first one to care , shield and defend
instead of the ego ruining it to a sorry end ...

About this poem:
Going through the wringer as depicted in the poem... is a most harrowing experience , specially when one didn't see it coming ... Though a little worse for wear.. those who are well grounded recover intact .. and all the wiser for it ... inspite of the momentary hurt felt and pain endured ...Sharing this poem is also an ode to those people ... women in particular, but also men .. who can say " been there... done that ... moved on " ...
online today!Eight lines to Bacchus
The grape spurts forth in gross and sweet profusion,
The sticky juice under the crushers' feet,
When brewed a while, it leads to sweet delusion,
Thus helps shy lovers - when they first do meet,
Others find it brings them much confusion,
The morning after, when it has them beat;-
And Bacchus, from on high - I hear his laughter,
Don't let this god of wine now be your master.

About this poem:
Eight lines, may become more, at some point (I guess, then, I'll have to modify the title)...online today!Polar Bear
You may see him standing,
In the white glare of the Sunlight,
On wind-blasted panes of ice;-
A Winters' Sea compressed,
To float across the salty emptyness.
Now the Bear stands as a symbol;-
As solar light returns to white;-
Above a lattice artifice,
A crazed and crumbling edifice;-
The ice floes crashing to the sea,
From all the melting glaciers.

The Black Mermaid
Dark as any bark on a winter day
Frost that clings to her contours
An outline takes shape in the rocks
Her sculpture worn smooth by time
Standing over an ever restless sea
A protective guardian over her tomb
Carved in the same expressionless look
Casting her gaze over all the lost souls
Forever trapped in the tranquil deep
Reaching back are tales of ancient times
She watches relentlessly silent and still
The generations of sea birds come and go
All passing by and falling under her spell
Frost that clings to her contours
An outline takes shape in the rocks
Her sculpture worn smooth by time
Standing over an ever restless sea
A protective guardian over her tomb
Carved in the same expressionless look
Casting her gaze over all the lost souls
Forever trapped in the tranquil deep
Reaching back are tales of ancient times
She watches relentlessly silent and still
The generations of sea birds come and go
All passing by and falling under her spell

About this poem:
Writing about a familiar outcropping of rocks that sometimes take shape and form in the crevices of our mind like passing clouds and give us all a sense of place in time.
Description my dear
I tried to describe my beloved but I couldn't
My tongue was silent and unable to speak
My pen began to write the sweetest words
He wrote it in describing my love for a girl
You entered my heart and resided in it
A girl with very feminine features
Her hair was so black, it took its color from the darkness of the night
Her wide eyes and her pain took away the beauty of her eyes
Her cheerful spirit was as if the joy had been taken from her smile
Suddenly my pen stopped moving forward
He is passionate about describing her goodness and beauty
Apparently he had never seen someone more beautiful than her
My thoughts were confused with him
Because if we describe one thing, we are confused about describing the beauty of the other thing
When we describe the eyes, we are confused in describing the extremely wonderful facial features
I tried and tried and tried
So I closed my eyes so that I could remember or recall even a little bit
I tried in vain and all my attempts failed
Gentlemen, I will tell you how much I love her
I will tell you what it is for me
She is to me what the soul is to the body
She is to me like the air I breathe
To me it is as the eyes need to see
Humans also need food
The writer also needs his pen.
Just as the thinker needs his thoughts
I think I'm exaggerating how much I love her
Or do you think I am negligent in everything I said?
I will scream to the crowd that I love her
My beloved, a rose among the wonderfully beautiful roses
My dear Nasma Rabie
I was confused to describe it
My mind is paralyzed and my words have stopped because I seem to be stunned.
He was amazed by the beauty of that face, which looked like the full moon on a full moon night
Lost among all those imaginary features
My love, forgive me if the words in your description failed me.
My love, excuse my modesty in expressing my feelings
My love, excuse me
Excuse me........... Excuse me. My question remains for her
How do I tell her.......she has become my whole little world
How do I tell her.......that in her words I soar and fly?
How do I tell her? Her words perfume me like perfume.
How do I tell her? When she speaks to me, my words disappear and thoughts fly away.
How do I tell her? She has become one of my dangerous secrets
How do I tell her? She is a candle that lights up every moment of my life
Then she asked me the reason for my long silence with her
Should I tell her that I envy myself and my soul every moment I hear her?
Or what
My tongue was silent and unable to speak
My pen began to write the sweetest words
He wrote it in describing my love for a girl
You entered my heart and resided in it
A girl with very feminine features

On Valentine's Day
Candy words sweet
Kisses on her cheek
Listen as cupid tries his best to speak
He draws back his bow and you already know
What he's going to say
He wants you to be happy on valentine's day
He rushed this order special for you
Candy coated lines and every word is true
He hides behind a cloud in a sky of blue
He stole candy from angels to send your way
Yes heaven is where he's been and you can read this again
On valentine's day
Cupid is very busy making girls dizzy
He fills their hearts with excitement of love in the air
And on valentine's day his arrows have landed everywhere
Kisses on her cheek
Listen as cupid tries his best to speak
He draws back his bow and you already know
What he's going to say
He wants you to be happy on valentine's day
He rushed this order special for you
Candy coated lines and every word is true
He hides behind a cloud in a sky of blue
He stole candy from angels to send your way
Yes heaven is where he's been and you can read this again
On valentine's day
Cupid is very busy making girls dizzy
He fills their hearts with excitement of love in the air
And on valentine's day his arrows have landed everywhere

VALENTINE ROSE
There is no one like you
Valentine Rose
Master Creator
from where all life flows
You bring peace and joy
in the midst of pain
Seated on high
In the heavens You reign
You watch over us
Singing with sheer delight
Strong arm protection
Strength and might
Minutest details
demonstrating you care
A window or profiteroles
Assuring us you're still there
You are my first love
My sweet garden Rose
Quenching with love
White garments for clothes
Flourishing bride
Blossoming love for you
Intrepid journey
You've escorted me through
Provided a home
Plus a secret dwelling
Summoning my life
Extremely compelling
Drawing me closer
Into your heart
Rose scented fragrance
Never depart.

About this poem:
The love of my lifeYeshua hamashiach
online today!Pain
Sudden pain ripped across
My waxen skin as brambled limbs
Tore open wounds the beast left
I stood in suspended animation
Watching the blood ooze down
Seeping slowly onto the ground
As the sky turned a bleak color grey
There was no emotion in the fray
Only an anguished still quiet
No air to breathe
No light to discern
Silently encompassing like a vacuum
Leaving open throbbing wounds
Tormented and deep
Amongst a swollen secret hush
I fell down praying for a healing
From all the scars that penetrate
Our minds, hearts and souls

About this poem:
Life here on planet Earth.online today!Valentine's 2024
This day's celebrated only once every year...
Some look forward to it , while others
may feel a good dose of dread or fear ...
But undeniably, when it's here...
time to spread some love
and , even if virtual only,
to each and every nearest... a big hug...
Instead of merely giving it a shrug,
and say " Bah, humbug !!!" ...

About this poem:
Based on a poem i found online...but figured I cld rewrite its train of thought entirely with my own words and rhyme... Sharing this early when Valentine's is fast approaching anyway...
Haiku v Senryu
Haiku. 575 (Nature)
one spoonful of earth
teeming with tiny creatures
each with huge purpose
Senryu. 575 (Human Foibles)
youths stared down at phones
a full rainbow blessed the sky
alas they missed it
one spoonful of earth
teeming with tiny creatures
each with huge purpose
Senryu. 575 (Human Foibles)
youths stared down at phones
a full rainbow blessed the sky
alas they missed it
