Yousef Al-Watheqi Poet Ballad

Beloved

Hello, how are you
I am fine, and you
Towering over high
I see a bride

What do you think 
Of those who do not
When honour is linked,
And cannot be bought

How do we free it
If it is so
That so many need it
Is but a woe

But thou have it near
From afar I have heard
As Thou art dear
Silent of word

And keep thy silence
Oh honoured geust
Lest it blow,
And many a bow

Strike the matches
Of a hungered soul
Who could not but wait
At thy present fate

A cold mistless night
When the sun is out of sight
To climb the mountain at this hour
Pick a flower for they honour

Would thy accept I wonder?
To let go of the honours, dreams and dye
To cast asunder
The decorative bye and sigh

To let go of the honours
That such a tale intales
And live free of the world
That hath honoured thy hand...

I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like.
