Brave Woman

She is the bravest my eyes have ever seen
A lion bows, in shiver and fear
I am on my knees for I can not believe
A woman so beautiful, among us she breathes…

I offer this world and everything within to her feet…
I say proudly that I will protect her with fists…
She smiles, then gently she says to me…
I am a woman, strong and I do not need
Protection, for I may seem fragile
But I am stronger than steel…

I do not know what words to speak…
For I desire her love, and love her miserably…
But I have only my heart to offer
And she deserves better than me…

It does not matter that I love her endlessly…
She lives in a world that the devil dreams to flee…
And yet she stands strong with a smile shinning through her lips…
With a laugh musical, poetry to my ears…
She is a brave woman…gentle and free

I Woke Up In Heaven

I woke in a street with no memory
I do not recall how I arrived here
I remember only a world filled with enemies
I know where I was before
How they all felt envy
Their wars and their greed
The blood spilled between men
For the colour of their skin
Their faith and their kin
The struggle that made my soul weak
I remember the past, but not how I arrived here

With my eyes still closed
I could smell the bakeries and the olive oil
I could hear the children and their mothers voice
The Church bells, and the Mosque call
All the believers to fall
In submission to the one who created us all
I could feel peace, no voice speaking of evil, of war
And as I opened my eyes
They started to slowly cry
As I saw a sign, that welcomed me to Syria
The fallen piece of paradise

Eyes Never Dry

Her eyes were never dry
Since she was born she would always cry
No matter what kind of lie I would tell
She would see right through me, a smile she didn't sell

I don’t blame her for when her lips fell
She knew the world was aware of our pain
She knew nobody cared about evils reign
She knew nobody cared about every body
that laid lifeless on the streets
She knew…
So I understand

In her precious young heart
Knowledge of the world there was that few men had
Even though she knew it could get her killed she just couldn't stand 
When justice wasn't served 
When her mothers killers were free
And we get something no human deserves

I ask her please smile
The pain will last just for a little while

Mother's Day

I first cried in your arms
Even though I was barely alive
I knew that I would never see harm
As long as I am in your embrace mom

You were my first love
As you are my last.
I recall how the years slowly passed
When I was under your wings

Nobody believed me, when I told them I could hear the angels sing,
But believe me mother I did.
I never felt safer than you made me feel
Even the deepest wounds in my heart, you could heal
Today is mother’s day, and you are not here
I guess somewhere in my soul I always feared
That the day would come when I was all alone
When everything I ever loved was gone
But I never expected my feet to leave your soil
I took the words your history taught me
To always fight and be strong
When weak, to sing a proud song
Today is mother’s day, and you are not here
Wherever in this world I breathe
In my lonely heart you will always be
My first, my last, my eternal love
My land, my mother, my all
Aleppo.

The Graveyard Rose

She was beautiful, unlike any other
She stood high above the ground, shining with bright colours
Perhaps,
Had she grown somewhere else
People would line up to take in her scent
But she was lonely,
The only rose to rise where the dead lie
So nobody ever came to keep her alive
Yet she still grows
In a field of snow, a picture so cold
There, the red beauty stands warm
As if her roots had grabbed the center of the Earth below
In a loving embrace, never willing to let it go

There she stood
A soul so misunderstood
The graveyard rose

My Child

Oh, how life is nothing but a wasted breath
for those who hate the sight of a blooming rose.
Oh how I despise he who does not love, but seeks to end his foes.
I fear that greed is born, as compassion and kindness is lost.
My child, how shall I, your father shelter you from harm?
How shall I sing you sweet songs of peace,
when I should breathe just to teach you of honour and I fear there is no honour in a lie.
Nor does my heart beat at ease when your peers die…
I swear it to you, I love, I hate, I fear and yet I’m brave…
I swear it to you.
I run, I stare into the sky with passion, wondering…
as to wonder is in my kind for I am human and so are you my child…
You have a mother that gave you life, like I and all that breathe under the sky…
So I my child, I cry.
I cry because I can not understand why a soul has to die…
Why some would kill and deprive a father of an innocent smile.
Why we speak to hurt when all of us feel inside
Why my child?
I wonder why.
Oh, how life is everything.
Precious, Priceless and kind.

Dancing In the Olive Field

With your fragile soul in my arms
We move with the rhythm of our hearts
Side to side, left and right
We both feel love inside
For each other and for the sight
Of the setting sun, for your beautiful eyes
Where I see the reflection of the moon rise
As we are moving with the wind

So gentle, yet the entire world can feel
The passion which we carry when our bare feet
Slide across the land like a summer breeze
With your head on my chest, your hands in mine
We are dancing in the olive field

With a sinful smile
The scent of heaven reaches my tears
That travel across my face
Full of sorrow, that leaves
Like the autumn leafs
Waiting to be replaced by spring
Like the happiness that you bring
When we are dancing in the olive field
Side to side, left and right
Forever intertwined, with you my darling
As we, are dancing in the olive field

I Do Not Belong

Is this Earth I walk, obliged to my own two feet
Is the sky above, constrained to hiding my tears
Every loud roar, brings not fear, but peace
Just like the knowledge, that I fell deceased

Tell me, does a mother cry, when a child falls beneath
For if she does, forever shall I breathe
Through this agony and sorrow, through all the screams I hear
Locked in a cell, like the people of the land I bleed
But it is not my body, but my soul that is weak
It is not a way out, but strength that I seek
I wish a poet could describe this pain I feel
An artist to draw that night I fear
The echoes of all my peers
Fallen angels, victims to a disease
Too cursed to live, so blessed to leave
I wonder is it my destiny
Or did destiny flee the moment the first rifle sang that evil song
One by one, they were all gone
And I wonder
Is this world my own
For I feel, that I do not belong

Deadly Love

I heard once of a story
They say, heaven has become hell
And all the beautiful angels fell
Down to Earth, with their broken wings
Now only a shell of what they used to be
But we humans were not meant to see
The heavenly until our souls flew free
Damned be those weak bodies we are in

I was never made to breathe
The breath that comes through her soft lips
Never to kiss, those heavenly white cheeks
That ignited to a hint of red, every time our eyes met
I was never meant to hold her gentle figure
In an embrace, for she was my souls mirror
Those rivers that flow on my face
Were lost in an empty race with the rhythm in my chest
That played a calm melody, until it had to depart
I saw an angel, she stole my heart
She made my life worth living, and her leaving made it hard
We weren’t meant to love one another, so she left me scarred
I am just another lonely man, lost in misery 
Now heartless stuck in history
Writing these words of love, to the woman that dove me in misery

Beautiful Light

I hold a sharp knife in my bare hands
A knife so sharp it splits the sands
I try to throw it far, but it only expands
Each second getting sharper, harder to withstand

I take every advise the wise give me
Maybe one knows how to help me be free
Try to not think about it, some said
I do not know If I shall laugh or cry my friend
As my thoughts are not why my hands bled red
It was the memories I held deep in my chest
Memories of a woman who shared the world in my head
The memory of her is the sharpest pain I ever felt
As it is nothing but a memory, and I am by myself
