Short Encamped Poems

Though set apart, their fate is dealt
Upon a solid mount of wealth
Beauty mirrored by crystal lake
With compass set, young roots do take
Encamped by water, air and sun
Forever to thrive in pristine dawns

Christopher Cricket
Lived out in a thicket
With his musical family

They slept by day
Each night they would play
At the Firefly Jamboree

A chorus of frogs
Encamped in the bogs
Would always accompany them

No need for a ticket
just come out and "kick it"
They will happily, welcome you in.

The fairest of vases sits upon a mantle high
While admiring eyes gaze; doors breathe a long sigh
No expression nor smiles, but its presence calls
To kings and serfs steadfast within encamped walls
Like a beacon shines through opaque, foggy skies
Captures glances of awestruck ones, mesmerized 
Unadorned, its beauty, most exquisite pales
But guarding red roses,  beauty never fails

What a ramadan?
Veils everywhere
Still am damned
Time purity steers 

Laced with pain;
Is my eye
How i be so stain;
I better die

 Hope fly by all men
I only see din
Covered in darkness
Encamped agony, distress

A burden i carry;
My shoulder sour.
My heart tarry;
For my agony tall 

Allah come save me!
This pain is beyond me!
Where do my hope seem?
Ramadan made it dim 

Ramadan saves;
What of mine?
I hunger slave
To get the divine
SAVE me!
O Allah!...
