Limerick

When Jesus turned water to wine
it tasted modestly divine
there was no witnessed waste
but there's no accounting for taste
pharisee spirit's complain all the time

Deep as the ocean
Falls in love like rain
But her heart is as cold as ice
She's a vapor in the air.
With soul as pure as the sea
Her happiness rages like the river
She is no different to a water
She's something I can never hold.

Rhyme

I saw a shadow in the night
Opened the window, the sky was dark
But this figure of man was shining bright
Want to be abducted, I won't fright
I was dreaming of walking in the shore
Though I was always with a man with face unsure
His heart was like a water, so clear and pure
When he held my hands, I felt so secure.

Soul,
I see you creeping
Under the crushed wavelengths
I can hear you weeping
Below the wilted water terrace
And you’re holding my heart.
And it’s burning your hands.
Gray,
Your cryptic veil touches my cheeks
They flush absent of color
Under the ripples of your aching
And you’re listening to my mind.
And it’s singeing your ears.

Rispetto
|
The best of this life is being fully seen
Value which few have authentically mined
Failed conception of what real desires mean;
Hearts roaming with each other, thoughts undefined
I wished with new penny; an investment keen
Represents the best showing of humankind
Beguiling two fish swimming in coyest fountain
Fed by water deep inside a loves mountain

Flowers, chocolates, songs, candle light
dinner, poems.
Some of the ways a gentleman seeked
the love of a lady.
Modern times, has relegated some of
these romantic manners of courting.
Once the gentleman gained the love
of his beloved, routine is the custom.
Causing in many occasions that love
die.
Love is like a flower. You have to water
it every day.

I would brave the lion's den,
plunge into the middle of the sea;
I would be a courageous warrior
to avoid a greater tragedy.
Even if the lions feasted on my heart
know that it would still be yours,
or if my lungs filled with sea water
my last words would swim to shore.
If I fought in a deadly battle
I would paint my face in blood.
I would rather kill and be killed
by it all except your love.

I’m going to comprehend my rhyme
Breakwater below your feet
Psalms I scream
For his brainless thoughts, are not his fault
So please absorb, guzzle or swallow, this free verse
For I speak to a ghost
Each second, I see your eyes
Philosophize the beat to my heart
Has I scream out your blood
Hoping you’ll disappear
Before I finish breaking water below your feet
And, no you may not have a seat

Prose Poetry

There were days where it felt like the air
Was thin and my lungs strained for even an
Ounce of oxygen
Or the days where the water in the shower
Singed my skin no matter how cold I turned
The handle
Yet the days to come after I met you,
Turned completely around.
My lungs now flourished with air
And the burn scars on my skin have now
Diminished
You’ve made my life livable,
And you are my comfort.

Cool Water
It’s been so long since I’ve had that water
The soft rain of you restored every withered part of me
And my blood still burns
Recalling your touch…like gentle showers
In the dark I can see your face
Summoning each familiar detail
Brings my heart to a state of grace
It knows so rarely now
Like sepia dust kicked up by an old car on a dirt road
The tendrils of my memories fade to nothingness
As if they never existed, and settle once more
Waiting for the cool water to drench me

A cheat, a lie, a love so divine.
An escape from reality only so true,
I wrote this poem just for you.
A kiss that sparks, this is true bliss
from the heart. I think to fly when
problems arise, I spread my wings
to show a surprise.
My wings hold emotions so strong,
I forget how to act, understand I
feel under attack. You deserve the
the world, like an oyster and a pearl.
Can we start over? Give me a seed
to water our flower, it’s most precious
to me. Give me time to change and
you will see.

Where had so much love
Tarek Hasan
Where had so much love and so
Blooms not come to bed
Lamps lit in the evening,
I loved it, the flower bun
Deceitful trap, got fired
I'm alive, is he wrong?
I've come today to door
No deceit woven mesh,
I'm like,
I do not want flowers grow
I think the new.
That was not a dream draw
No Heartless chest,
I do not want to float, like Water hyacinth
Do not get grief.
Frequently returned empty-handed
How long to wait will be,
To prepare a bed of roses
Where had so much love for so long.

You cannot be expressed,
Baby, you're the sunlight of my life when I'm depressed...
You've always fulfilled all my wishes,
You've always been there for me..
In every stage of my life,
With you, I wish to be...
Never thought distance would bring us so close,
Baby, you've entered my life just like the water flows...
You've thought me how to love,
You've thought me how to smile,
You will always be secured in my love file...
Just be with me, no matter what!
...and, I promise our love will remain the same as it was in the start...!

My heart is traped like a winter storm traps you inside your house, my mind is solid like ice crystals, my soul can't feel because it's Numb inside. These winter nights are silent when all you can hear is the wind blowing the snow around, with whispers of loneliness. My soul is traped in these cold nights, when there's no where to run. My eyes try to water when tears are about to run down my face but the chill in the wind makes my eyes stop. My eyes are blind with my soul being numb, and my mind is solid like ice crystals, because of these lonely winter nights. My heart is still traped, as these winter night continue to be lonely.

Getting over an obstacle
It is uncanny when I’m prepared to drive home
Something happens it is delayed
This time it is the hospital I can’t go there
Since it is free a new appointment takes forever.
The hospital doctors try to stop the Whale from
Swimming to Greenland, the water is too cold.
All animals and fish seek back to their origin
I seek back to where I was reborn were, I grew
up in an ln landscape of olive trees and vine
bushes, a place was the roads were narrow and
silent only disturbed by the bleating of lambs.
The small dwelling my dog and the walk we
Had in the mystic forest of dreams where everything
Was possible.

I read poems
You lend an ear
You sing folksong
I am in tears
And the two go on for ever
I sow seeds
You water the saplings
I add manures
You add pesticides
And the two go on for ever
I provide sun
You provide shade
I look at your bun
You caress the blades
And the two go on for ever
I call at your door
You open it
I want more
You are discreet
And the story moves on and on
I like pictures
You like painting
In the cool winters
We like coffee
This is forever the equation
I quarrel with you
You are angry
We love our children
We are collected
Goes on the conversation

Elegy

I lay in his arms
sleep but aware of his presence
I dream of blue oceans
I dream of blue seas
each warm kiss I feel from him
the water becomes wetter in my dreams
I dream of a shipwreck
we're deserted out at sea
so I sing of my love for him in the sweetest melody
and I sing of my love for him hoping he'll swim along
I sing of my love for him as he slowly becomes the sea
the love I sing for him carries on through decades eternally
now I sing to collect souls
I cursed the sea to stir the waters and wreck the sailors boats
I sing of my love for him in the sweetest melody
to lure in and claim the lives as sacrifices
for my love I lost at sea

I do not know?
|
Expressive words flow like the sweet sound of a stream,
a natural curiosity about thee makes my brow rise,
pebbles mimicking rocks falling gracefully so make me tremble,
clouds wondering like cotton candy looking so heavenly above thee,
water so delightful yet cold and reassuring of a beginning,
ambient sounds of water flowing into a symphony of meditation preludes of this, that, here,
relaxation of the stream makes more than one's day and night,
wrist moving and flowing with words like thee downpour of the stream,
where to start with a message and where to end with a phrase for it's the beginning of National Poetry Month in April

Monorhyme

Who folds their feelings; to a fist when reaching toward a prize?
They will never touch what's reflected by; or before them lies
What is the purpose of a burn produced by scorching sunrise?
If not to; give all of its reflection to pale moon-lit skies
Where are the clouds after their curtains called to finally rise?
Those reflections on the water; calmly still, are met with seamless ties
Why are raw emotions, treated like a hollow emptying disguise?
Though it doesn't change the beautiful palette, it reflects; of ones eyes
Why do I long to be there when humans come to grips and realize?
That in us all; we reflect true perfection, without a compromise

Cut metal sheet and two rings
in the marrow of comprehended made us
never know why
pulled out
by fluorescent uniforms and sore siren
from wrong side of road already seen was swept out
phone
cognition
answer
finally they began to disappear
someone put the film on
it's rolling
if mercy is constructed from excessive delayed condolences
she doesn't want to be baptised by your stones
stepped in the bathroom
turned the water heater on
there is too much to wash out
people
so many people
pale faces walking
headed boxes slide in silence
she believed
you'll leave one, at least that smallest window
open
they lied
you're not forgotten

under a tree i'll sing you a lullaby
i'll ask for the moon to stay for a while.
i'll kiss you goodnight and hug you tight.
ill stay awake, make sure your alright.
i'll make breakfast, the best part of your morning.
i'll wash the dishes just to keep you smiling.
we'll take a walk in the open fields.
we'll play with the water and the ocean breeze.
you'll laugh like you've never laughed before.
and we'll take every chance on every open door.
i will be you guardian and you'll be my light.
with you by my side, everything feels right.
so under a tree i sing a lullaby.
and ask for the moon to stay for a while.
just a kiss goodnight and i'll be fine
i'll do everything if only you were mine.

Ballade
|
I feel like a lost ship in a stormy ocean-
Defenseless, friendless
Deaf ears are all around.
The tears I shed flood the water around me
That will surely lead to my demise.
Sinking lower and lower, beneath
The dark depths of a dark empty pool
No light in sight, and no hand to
Extend and pull me from the swell
The friendly faces that once were
Are faded and jaded, unrecognizeable
You should be so proud
Do you stand taller now than
The rest of the fleet? Surely when
You look in the mirror you must
Envious of your visions, I am not
Disrupted by the wall of water I am
And you are afraid of what? Lone sailor-
A forbidden ocean? You are unjust!
But too proud to recognize
The weakness within yourself!

It tingles, it hurts, it flutters
It's numb, it's jumpy, it's singing
It's like flying, sinking, gliding through water
Breathe the icy air, look into the sun, walk among the trees
These are ways to explain how it feels to find that Other Person.
The Other Person that forces feelings on you when they don't even try,
that demands your attention when you have things to do,
that shows you what it means to love and be loved.
The Other Person that is the Yang to your Yin.
I'm the canopy and ur the roots...
Suspended amongst the clouds yet buried in the earth we are,
we're one with each other by our trunk, our bond holds us fast.
Neither would survive without the other, so we feel whole, needed, loved... at last.
