The departed, part too, from my cry Sikandar Abu Zafar
The departed, part too, from my cry
Sikandar Abu Zafar
The bloody angered gaze, burnt down history of my barren land
Those years of mine
Today whence a knife I hold strong
Seeker of the precipice bleeding , slit throat
What will be the use to muse along the cuddle?
Of the rattling killer boa? Still in the pandora box?
It is

Abu Simble Temple
On stage so deep in heart of sand;
Farthest from world of deep dismay
At night in day thy Housefull show
Since centuries therest on display
O Ramses speak from deeps of sand!
Wherest thou liveth for thousand years?
Farthest from world by shore of Nile
Farthest from world of mortal fears!
Thy rule not marred by hands of time
Thy

Melancholy and I
Until the last light, I believe I shall remain,
A tune unplayed, in this dreary song.
During daylight and throughout the night,
A moment does not part from melancholy and I.
Should I leave or should I try,
I know what follows could not be felt as life.
Is there another song, one to play my tune?
I'm driven to sing, but

Written Together
There once was a Tree,
Happy as can be.
Even though this tree had no teeth,
It would still play with its friend Keath.
One unfaithful day,
Keath never came to play.
Tree worried all through the night,
Perhaps he'd finally given Keath a fright!
For how could it be,
That Keath love a Tree.
The next morning,
Keath's mom came mourning.
Keath's stinger had been lost,
And

Released
Lifted,
I felt the heat of the sun.
Falling,
I froze, scorched by the cold.
I held fast to all I had.
Or I tried.
I struggle to be thankful,
For now,
My elevated dreams fulfill me.
I can say
That you didn't help me.

Fleeting
The lights that flare
Stain my stare.
How deep or true I care,
Pales to your new flare.
I have proven shallow,
Until I can be there.

Daisy
It wasn't there.
But I had it, didn't I?
I'd left it, I came back.
I let go, and now
It's no longer mine.
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here?
Where do I go from here.

Within your arms,
I feel at home.
At last,

I'm not alone.

Wrong Way
I wash my hands with the waves
That come from day to day.
I look around & I see the sounds
Of my love that's come to play.
”It's been too long.” I say
As she dances her way
To my arms, but I fall as I wake.
Again, it is only I that lays in our estate.

Upon This Flair
I jumped into a pit of fire
Only to find that my legs caught fire.
For sure, I thought it'd get my head
Where lay this hairy bed.
But wait, what's this?
At last, this head of hair
Went ablaze with such flair,
That I'll sing atop this chair!

I Understand
I traced along the battered spine,
But it was not in me
To brace along those tattered lines.
Much I tried to bare the bines,
As straight as I could be,
Caught laced, always, in those tangled vines.
Until – disarrayed – I broke, and heard the chimes.
I have learned to mend,
With every step along this battered bend.

Echoed Dismay
Those footsteps that you left at the door,
Echo the last words I heard you say.
Turning to me, my eyes meet the floor.
I needed to prove myself today.
Again, it was your hope that I tore.
I’ve proven who I am, to your dismay.
What I say, pitted to what I do,
That I’ll never be there for you.

Abu Cliched
The future made a face at at me
I made a face back at the future
If fate did smile my way
I wyly smiled back at her
Don't mention Karma to me..
They use deragatory terms
In reference to her... ways
Am born of Destiny..
Unto me a path Ordained
Speading wings like an eagle
I do love so soar cloud high..

Abu
As an Arab guest
magnetizes all eyes,
local VIPs get RIP
status. Abu sticks
his love on Arab’s
forehead. Sweet
vibes waft up with
the spicy smell of
the feast. Abu plans
another plaza above
the dunes in Dubai. He
makes his daughter’s
wedding unique with
the imported charm.
Currency blocks his
arteries. Love doesn’t
flow. He’s gifted his
wife with a desert.
Our
