In the Middle of the Darkest Night

The moon was on leave, 
The stars were no more 
It was not, but in the mid of the darkest night 

It was not rain, but the tears of the sleepless eyes 
That washed away the beauty of the beautiful sky 

It was, but a night of moonless sky,
A night of starless sky 

It was, but a wonderful night of the waterlog eyes 
It was a fearful night for the fearless heart,
A breathless night for the breathing heart
A restless night for the resting soul 

It was in the middle of the darkest night,
A night of light less sky

We Don'T Make Friends To Loose Them

Do u know what is behind my tears?
Seeing friends go and can't hold them back.
Loosing everyone around within a twinkle of an eye.
All that am left is the marks they make in my heart.
Lying down on my bed to rest only to see my eyes flow like a river.
I wonder if we build to demolish or we just  create to destroy.
Why then do we make friends and loose them?
I keep on hearing your voices echoing like a melody in my ears.
I lie down on my bed to sleep and I see your faces twinkling in my eyes like the stars in the sky.

My Wish For Your Day

They say we should not judge a book by it cover
But if the tittle is Souleiman Hamzah
Then I think I ever glance through

Hey man, if you can hear me out 
Your yester years wasn't bad 

People say  it was good 
But to me it was better 
And I know you will do best today

As you have just been given a brand new book to continue your story 

Hey man, if the pubic hair you grow today resulted from the competition between day and night to rule us,then u should be a good competitor

For you were born to rule 
Even were I was a tail, you were the head 

Hey man, it is not what you are chasing that I wish for you 
But on what your name is written, I pray will come your way.

Broom of Hardship

Its sweeps not rubbish but the good in you in people's eyes.
It wipes not dust but your memories in their heart.
It keeps no friend, it scares them like a hungry lion, only few will be brave not to run
It does not tint, it shade you like the darkest cloud so even your shadow sees no light in you.
It clears not rubbish, all it does is clear your good company, leaving you in a glade of loneliness.
It is not a sign of your flows but an opportunity to be great.
It sweeps away the garbage of happiness,leaving the clean floor of sorrows.
It is never inn to down spirit u, it gives u an opportunity to be great, USE IT.

My Book of Yesterday

A new day has been born 
through the struggles of the pregnant night.

And as I sit in this serene environmen
To flip through the books of yesterday 

What warms me up from the inside also try to tears me apart

It shows me where I fall and where I stand tall
It gives me the smiles just as it comes along with the frowns 

So I sit here with this naked face
Soo confuse as to what to wear
Those smiles or the frowns

Then the joy became great,
As I flip to the next page

It started on a sunny day with some sunflowers 
And ended on a half-full moon night,
With brighter stars

This is what everyone will hold so dear and never will let go

For the marks they created is indelible 

Then tears rolled down my face
As I glance through the next the page

This is the list of missing people

Not for those twinkle stars that gradually faded and disappear 
Leaving the naked skies 

But for those who now dwell beneath the bedrocks 
Leaving their souls in the heavens above the skies 

And all of a sudden their voices started echoing in my ears 

Like time didn't fold nights and spread days
Just like the elderly didn't turn old
And grow gray.
