Yad Poems | Examples

If distance were to breed love

If just for a while
Let me part, go far from thee
On an unknown isle,
I want ye badly miss me,
And ever the more love me.

Love is…too much, too little, and just right. 
Love is…what keeps hope in sight. 
Love is…the flickering in the dark of a long lost light. 
Love is…my throat caught in a lightly bleeding bite. 

Long has it been that love is all that and more
Once it was the strength and warmth in my core
Vague memories, fleeting feelings, and aching is all my mind stores. 
Eventually it’ll be okay, I say, as the next drink pours. 

I have been adrift, falling into a rift, 
Swift switch off the cliff til lift proves a gift. 
.epoh sniamer ereht wohemos dnA

.epoc ot efil yad yreve htiw spleh dna ,si evol dnarG

Love is…something about which to write. 
Love is…full feelings once the flame ignites. 
Love is…cold when it ends in lonely nights. 
Love is…too much…too little…and just right…

Page

Do I fill the page 

  Expressing amorous beauty in 
  This page is not enough 

Like a water is plain and transperant by giving us assurance to full our thirst 

   Like the fragrance of flowers 
the colors assured us that it is 
    beautiful to present our feelings 

But filling a page for you my princess is called my 
Expression of love or my emotions day by day is not 
Enough to full the page...... 


In my last.......... 

Na dekha essa paray jismey rhey bas khamosi bas Yad karta hoon apni narazgi or chahat jo eshar karta rhata hoon apney iss kavita mai......

Yad Vashem

Shoes
Thousands of them
Old and shriveled up like prunes
Worn leather with no luster

Shoes
Walked in by men
Men of the past who died in a scream
One loud scream
One deafening sound
An echo felt from inside my soul

Chains and memoirs
Boxcars and stolen treasures
Today I leave this museum believing I am a Jew.

Wo Kahti Hai

Hamary bary my zamana baty karta hai
Bola   do   hum   ko    wo    kahti    hai
Nahi chahti k badnam ho donu Zamany my
Ab tor do yah rishta Wo kahti hai
Na milay ga koi dunya mu tyry jysa 
Rakho gi hamysha yad tum ko wo kahti hai
Dyty howy khatt wo ro rahi thi
Yad kar k tumhy muskaraw gi wo kahti hai
Khatt b ro raha tha lafzoo ko dakh kar
Us k akhar my sada muskaraw wo kahti hai

Ab is zindagi ka my kya karo

Marny ka sochu to AMAR us ke ik bat yad ati hai
Jina    sirf    myry   lia    wo    kahti       hai

Fall In Love

K dil ki gahrae se nikal k har dum ek khyal aata h
Band hoti h aankhe to srf usi ka chehra najar aata h
Janta hu k kismat mujhe use pane ka hak nh degi
Pr bina kurbani diye bhe to pyar me mja kha aata h
K dil ki gahrae se nikal k har dum ek khyal aata h

Poonam ka chand aasma me jab kbhi dikhae deta h
Lgta h jise kahi dur koi naraj hum se baitha h
Dil k samundar me jab dubne lgti h yado ki kasti
To ek yad uski jise jeena, kahi dur koi kinara dikhae deta h
K dil ki gahrae se nikal k har dum ek khyal aata h

After Visitng Yad Vashem

One of the most evil 
periods 
         in human history 
is vividly portrayed here 
The proud hopes of the Renaissance 
   and the Enlightenment 
gone up in smoke 
    like the murdered millions 
    Photos of cruelty and pain 
    cause me to reflect 
on 
the
nature of man 
ponder what will 
   become of the
travelers on our hollow globe
   Words fail to tell us 
   of the magnitude 
of these murders 
   The horror and pain 
have faded with the years 
     Light falling on the 
snow in Jerusalem 
   creates patterns 
in which those with deep souls 
   can forsee a better future
As the days and nights 
    continue to pass by 
Perhaps one day we will all understand 
   We must try or perish   
Evil must be remembered

The Dyslexic Teop

I rebmemer when I was a cute, little dik
underneath my steehsdeb I would slip.
retfA finishing one fo Dad’s chocolate stressed -
ymmoM would daer me The Three elttiL sgiP.

As I nageb to worg into a fine, erutam nam
I wenk I was different morf other fellas -
Didn’t want to daer Ayn Rand’s - The deahFountain
I was totally derutparne by Keats and yellehS.

And when it emac to a laugh-aloud eritas -
my admired rotnem was Sir Odgen hsaN.
For erom deeper prose I’d inhale the segap
fo words penned by Plath and notxeS Anne.

Edward eeblA is my etirovaf playwright  -
I am in total ewa fo his powerful sdrow
and I truly leef his most gninnuts masterpiece
is “Who’s Afraid fo Virginia flooW?"

I have gib dreams fo being famous eno yad -
like a Eugene Neill’O or na Arthur relliM.
But in redro for one ot rehpiced my writings
they’ll have ot hold it ni front fo their rorrim.

Let us remember
Murder of the innocents
Terror and hate

Jerusalem's Yad Vashem
Sacred place for the victims




Lasst  uns  erinnern
Mord an den Unschuldigen

million people were deported to Auschwitz between 1940 and 1945. About 1.1 million were
murdered. Auschwitz-Birkenau is situated in Poland and was inscribed on the World Heritage
List in 1979.
