Saleh Ben Saleh Poet Rhyme

Excerpts from Life

My mind had often wondered of a world beyond our hold, 
where every soul reveals its secrets and all the truth untold.

With age our youth will fade, 
and with hope our lives ignite. 
In a withered cage the soul remains, 
till the day that brings delight.

Promises made are hard to keep, 
but in honour I find my pride. 
A rocky ridge is surely steep, 
but with courage I must abide.

With a sudden splash there came a flash, 
of memories that did not apply. 
With every mood, 
shy or rude, 
they stormed my inward eye.  

An honest word 
if you uphold, 
the truth it will unbind, 
but sassy dreams will only sink 
in pools of dopey minds. 

Hatred and greed 
will bring with speed 
disaster to your life, 
but with love and care, 
you’ll plant a seed in the heart of a loving wife.

In moments of death with a heavy breath release my final sigh, 
my kin may cry or even weep, 
but death to all applies.

Into the grave I shall descend when words are said and done, 
no saddened eye will shed a tear, 
when years have passed and gone.
