It's been three long years
We haven't seen each other
It makes roll my tears.

My dreams break at Fahad's realm
In thy tranquil mind,
Silently and softly flow,
On this sweat dunes bed.
By reality, as evening encroaching
The silhouette of the palm tree leaves,
Hides the full bloom moon,
Reminisce my beloved native land in tropic.
Every Friday is a holiday
Roaming to mall, eating and shopping
While mouth agape in golds store display,
Reminds me of my wife loves for jewelry.
Nevertheless, my mind grinding for two years
As ordeal of being an Overseas Worker.
How I wish, the toil, and endless longingness,
May appease the hungry belly back home.

Light workers ! Melt orange sediment
For homes without leaks
Our hot hearts and hands
Becoming liquid stars
Lord of lavender and laughs
Bring the turquoise serpent here
Put before us bread and cheese
Mould flexible our knees
Light workers ! Walk quietly along
Corridors of Stone
To find the alabaster jar in your
Sun of suns
Work your will and wisdom
Become flames across the stage
Holding antennae high to
Hear adoring breathes
Transcend tears of
Longingness

The cemetery was filled with muteness
where no voices were heard from the dead.
It’s beautiful, sad, deep, and tragic.
Thoughts flew with the wind as spirits
invisibly walked around the memorial garden;
remembering how animated life it was to be with mortals.
As leaves slowly fell on the tomb’s angel sculpture,
The sun sprinkled its light-giving hope for those who live
with memories from dead bodies underneath.
As morning birds opened their eyes
gallivanting their wings in each corner of the graveyard,
Longingness was seen and heard making hysteria
raged and reached far distant places like home.
Sunset came and everything went back to misery
Reminiscing lamenting songs of yesterday’s death
It turned to darkness where eyes can’t see human physique
But there are those unseen souls watching moonlight,
wiping tears and hoping that there is life after death.

Hollow odes lament where waves crash depthless
Oh! How ocean lacking light spills woe so!
Lackluster grays wail unkempt longingness
Lone stander bleeds the dreams of times ago
O'er the screaming wind, a seagull's bleak cries
weeps of cloudiness usurping the day
Heaven's warmth obscured, and now coldness vies,
overwhelming where vast emptiness slays
Left purposeless, wavering dark takes hold
looping tight a lynch-like corrosive noose
Otiose life sucks vim where sharks enfold,
wrecked in sunless abyss of night let loose
But Sol, unconquerable, beams once more
and the lighthouse sings, full of birds from shore!

I am not fit
to love or contemplate
the meaning of a
palliative fountainhead
synonymous
with winter longingness
enfolded by
sudden wantonness
of scorched earth
in summer
which stems from
a strength I lack
derivative of vulnerability
exposed to the point of
frigid fragility
being how recently
I supper alone
unable to stomach
such weakness
your absence has shown
to crave our collective
still perfectly fit

Facing the world alone
Is a heartache seared
Like no other towards
Your belongingness
To the world before you
In the ferocious realms
At which you tread
The longingness to be
One with someone
Is stronger than life
Itself, and the will to
Carry on dwindles
As time brings more
Loss, and there is no one
To share any happiness
That the great void
Shines upon you each day
As the moon tries to
Shower its belief upon
You, but you squander
Its powerful influence
By squatting at the entry
Of your heart, where
Nobody sits but yourself
And where your echo
Is your only companion

(In the beginning)
In the beginning, Tsindoli,
At the bus-stop and in haste,
As you walked, briskly,
With head held high,
I saw the strength of a woman,
The woman of my life.
In the beginning, Tsindoli,
I watched,
As you walked by,
As you walked away,
Without suspicion of my stare,
I watched you walk by,
Not knowing when we will meet again.
In the beginning, Tsindoli,
When I set my eyes on you,
You stole my innocent heart,
And innocently walked away with it,
Leaving a longingness in my heart,
Of when I shall see you again,
In the beginning, Tsindoli,
Right from the start,
When I lay my eyes on you,
When you stole my heart,
Right from the beginning, my Tsindoli,
I knew you were the one.

Now I’m starting to write
While listening to this music
Have so many realizations
About this relationship I’m on
Now my lover is not in my side
Far away from my arms
Wishing he’ll come back
Where we’ll fill our hearts in love
In a lonely hour I’m sitting
I hate this feeling sinking in
As it matches the lyrics of song
Think I have a strange feel that
My heart is singing along…
Starting to recall the wind blow
We widened our hands and
Pretended that we’re fluttering in
the breeze where there’s much of love
Our stolen kisses where we’re
surrounded by glittered water
I can clearly remember
Made me smile all out with the song
Sitting in the corner
I’m writing this poem
Wish that he’ll come back and
kiss my obvious longingness
Now the song is over
The melody gradually stops
The feeling now that sinks in
I’m missing him more as he does

Sitting at the top where I could see dry grasses
Then I realized that love was withered by time
So I recall the embrace of his arms
That was then lost when he chose his own path
I could see his smile but sparks weren’t there
I’m falling out of love but this seems to be fair
The longingness is gone so months before
I could not trace the trails of my love
Time changes me and so as he
We can’t be together like we used to be
I could hold him tight but the feeling is gone
Such a typical feeling when I’m on his side
We could end up to be friends or enemies perhaps
But I never see that feelings anymore
So this is a permanent say of goodbye
I could see someone that I would like

LONGING AND BELONGING
What has been
What I have been longing
Be connected with longing
So that it could have been a belonging?
Yes it is our belonging!
‘Coz you are longing where you belong!
We belong to each other
How can we prove the belongingness
By prolonging this belongingness and longingness
What if I can’t do, it become aloneness
For becomeness would not a become, never!
To be loved and become a loveliness
Is the solution
This time…my love for you …
Is all I have!

So you think because my tongue lance
The eye of devils
To hide my children from their teeth
I cannot feel how quickly your heart beat
Against my breast with longingness
For me to move my hands
Slowly as the wind move the sands
Against the softness of your breast.
I want to slake this tongue
In the mouth of your understanding
And drink from your lips
Of deep forgiveness
If I spoke abrupt against your need
For my time to give the moon the moon to rise
Undressing the desire of your eyes.
I am a lover
Unsealing virgin gardens of blood
To plant the seed
Filled with the dreams of sensuous happiness.
