Best Arabian Poems

"The Arabian Nights"

Underneath the oceans' veil.
A mystery lies within.
Beyond Orion's belt, I shift my mind to sail.
Within, every constellation hides the secrets of sin.

Allowing me, to the time frame the world of yesterday.
I found portals with no way out.
Covering every bruise that my body had...

Is this just another taste of the reality of illusion?
Or do you think it is just the clarification of confusion
That the little hand that’s as feeble as the stalk
Could feed the aged sages with the meal of chalk and talk.

I was just gazing through my...

In alcove of the palace on that night
I felt the rush of pleasure and delight
He pressed me to the wall and forced a kiss
I nearly fainted as I tasted bliss

The dark and handsome Prince of kingdom fair
He ran his fingers through my raven hair
And then...

The daughter who loved her father as salt
Was flung out of his realm
He favored the daughters who loved him
As sweet honey, as much money,
But tides pull back as they do
And abundance of life changes
All the daughters may have equal claims,
But bitter salt is sometimes needed

Maa’mool winds wash over me
In antique moonlight I merge with the spirit of Wadi Shab
Following the worn paths through the orchards
To discover the hidden mysteries of Mibam
Commonplace melodies of the qanun and maqrum
Become new again passing my ears
Dancing sweet Arabia off the ancient walls
A midnight...

If black only stood and served an evil purpose 
At all times I’d hate it completely, reject it and resist it
With all my will- power and with all my strength

Maybe perhaps she/he once grew from a land called Africa
Maybe she/he had very sharp all five...

Watching the leader through my destroyer’s, Big Eyes
Waiting for signal to execute maneuver
The flashing light comes. “Execute!” my talker cries.
The bridge responds, slowing speed and shifting course

Twenty ships simultaneously make course east
As headings steady, I await the next command
The formation’s wakes clawing the sea like...

In peak summer,frightening dark an Arabian night,

Khalif Omar busy,putting his things in black and white,

Under an oil lamp throwing not much but little light,

Suddenly gained access his room his wife with Omar to sit,

Omar screwed his hand and ceased the lamp that let to lit,

Why?asked...

Her hair flows with the waves of the wind.
Her spirit wild and free. 
Her heart beats with the rhythm of her feet.
Her eyes reflect the purity with in her soul.
Her loyalty unquestionable.
Her beauty out shines the sun.
She is the most vibrant mare I have ever...

My Arabian stallion
As white as the Arctic floors
As fierce as the fire dragon
My pride and joy ever more

Gallop through the Arabian Plains
Enduring the storm of sands
Enduring the odds and banes
As fast as lightning he ran

With this stallion I have
Man looked at me with envy
The challenge...

waves ignore call of the gulls,
tides ebb and flow,
sweep asunder blowing wind,
make setting Sun glow.
boats scamper to shore,
their masts ruffle in protest,
sea of dreams and lore!

A beautiful nightmare haunts me,
I am spellbound by her words.
The death of a thousand nights,
the loss of a thousand tales.
Spin me a parable of love and triumph,
wrap me in a fable of pain and life.
Ensnared, I bow to the grace of eloquence
and cry for the...
