Karim Mohsen Poem
To the lady that will leave me speechless with the white dress
and give me that magical groom, and bride kiss
I've written my vows, and they go like this
I may not know your full name yet
but you are whom I will share my last name with
I vow to love you in all seasons
With and without reasons
I promise to keep you warm in the coldest weather
and tell you every night that by your side the world is better
I will keep my poetry deep, or if you want I will get corny sometimes
One day I will quote Shakespeare then next I will make you laugh with dumb rhymes
I vow to be your shelter when there is no where to run to
It doesn't matter who you are cause you are the one who
I wanna grow old with and when we are both ninety
I will look at you and say though I didn't use my mind I still chose wisely
I vow to love you when you are moody and crazy
and when you are tired I will carry you to the bed and go handle our baby
I vow to never lie and stay faithful
I will always tell you the truth and hug you when its painful
and I will get this whole thing on tape so when I'm feeling sad I can rewind
and see the moment I put the ring on your finger and make you mine

Karim Mohsen Poem
I saw a girl at the museum. I had to take her number
It was like my heart woke up from a long slumber
She was admiring a Picasso painting.
I knew nothing about art so I just said it was amazing
She said "Yeah. It's quite breathtaking"
She was going into details I was going to be exposed
but her beauty was enough for me to listen to her talking about something I loathed
I mean the only thing that made less sense to me than paintings was poetry
I didn't hear a word she said but I nodded unknowingly
Then I realized I just said I was going to an auction
I guess I have to work on y methods of seduction
When I went to the auction and I saw how much people were bidding I got depressed
Then I remembered this was my only way to get her interest
I waited for the auctioneer to announce
a very important painting that belonged to an artist whose name I couldn't pronounce
I bid and the guy beside me raised
We went back and forth. It felt like it could've went for days
I won then I realized
I was about to spend the money I had saved for a new car and tears almost fell from my eyes
She was impressed so I guess it was job well done
Now it was time for a date I deserved to have fun
Before I asked her out she said
"I gotta go. My boyfriend is waiting." I almost dropped dead
I learned my lesson not a dollar will be spent
Before I make sure the girl doesn't have a boyfriend
I went to a gym which I've never done in my life
I saw a girl on the bike and said she must become my wife
I passed huge guys and went to the other bike
I didn't know what It'd feel like
We started a conversation, minutes later I was gasping for air
I blacked out and when I regained consciousness. She wasn't there.
I got up and started to cuss and everyone just started to stare
Before I left the gym I saw a girl. She was even hotter
but the manager wanted me out so I didn't bother
I decided to go to the bar though I've never drank
but first I had to stop at the gas station cause I had an empty tank
Waiting for my turn I saw a hot lady beside her car
I said "Hi, wanna join me? I was on my way to the bar"
She said "Sure but can you do me a favor first?
Can you please buy me a drink. I'm dying of thirst."
It was a weird request but it was a small price. I was finally going on a date
I came back with the drink but it was too late
She stole my car. I was going to take hers
but was stopped by 3 guys in matching shirts
apparently it was their car and they thought I was the thief
I said "It was just a misunderstanding guys. I'm gonna leave"
Believe me I'm a good man
I'm the victim here. You don't understand
I tried to leave but before I could run
They gave me a beating and man was it a good one
I went to the bar. I almost forgot about finding a date
I just wanted to drink and forget everything that happened today
I ordered a bunch of drinks that sounded cool
I got wasted quick and fell off my stool
A chick helped me back up
The bar was spinning and it didn't stop
We had a conversation I was doing the talking
I told her everything that had happened and she listened to every word that was spoken
I paid and said I have to go
She said "Do you know where you live?" I said "I don't know."
She said "Let me help you get home"
I said "I can do it on my own"
She said "Fine. At least take this
It's a special medicine take it then take a short rest
You'll be sober quicker
Believe me it'll help." I said "It better"
I struggled to get home.I took the pills then laid down
an hour later I woke up and looked around
I remembered what happened. I remembered the girl
Everything was clear when the world didn't twirl
I ruined the best shot I had so far
I hoped she was still there. I ran back to the bar
I asked the bartender. He said "She comes every year
She went back home. She thought about settling here
but she's superstitious and after you rejected her she felt it was a sign
to go back home." I was going to lose my mind
I was walking in the street. It was afternoon
I said to myself I better find a girl to go after soon
Cause I made a vow to myself to not go home today without a date
I've been alone for so long and I wanted to find love before it was too late.
I thought for long where to go next
I was interrupted by a text
It was from a lady it said "Go to this address. A big surprise is waiting for you"
I decided to go maybe God was rewarding me after all I'd been through
The address was far and I didn't have enough money in my pocket.
I stopped a car and the driver agreed to give me a lift but I was stuck with
two smelly men in the backseat
I was in the middle squeezed, that plus the heat.
I felt so sick I left the car and I vomited
I couldn't walk and if I was honest with
Myself I was losing hope then I met a modest chick
She give me a ride and bragged about her achievements all the way
but it was nothing compared to what I'd been through today
I reached the place and dialed the number
I looked around and I saw a girl picking up her phone
standing beside her lover.
She said "This is embarrassing. That text wasn't meant for you. It was meant for my guy
But I must've mistaken the last digit." I didn't know how to reply.
She said "I hope I didn't cause you much trouble." I said "No.
I actually live here." She said "Cool. I have to go"
Going home was a bigger struggle than coming here
Suddenly I remembered the gym, the bar and the auctioneer
I wanted to be angry but didn't have any energy left
I went home and in front of my door I found a gift
I made sure it was for me before I opened it
I held it carefully cause it felt like it could get broken quick
It was a picture of me and an old friend from college
She wanted to meet. I took a shower and put money in my wallet
I met my friend her name was Candice
She looked stunning in her black dress
We had dinner. We fell for each other and after dinner we kissed.
It was the best feeling to be honest
The day ended and I kept my promise.

Karim Mohsen Poem
I hope this letter doesn't end up being just another fan mail that goes unread
I hope it finds its way to you before the sunset
I hope you understand why I wrote it. I hope the purpose becomes clear
I hope when you read it. You'll find every word sincere
I could tell you that you are my favorite, but I don't want this to be a fan talking to a star
I want it to be a conversation between two human beings, but it's hard
not to tell you that your voice takes me to another place
or that every album leaves me amazed
I'd like to talk to you in person, maybe one day we could have coffee, or is that too optimistic?
My friends laugh at me cause I'm not realistic
but I'll send you this letter. Cross my fingers, and pray
That words could turn to birds, and birds would send my thoughts your way
Or maybe my fans can share this until it finds its way to your hands
Then maybe we can meet and make plans
This was originally a four lines poem, but I decided to get deep
I hope this is something you'll remember forever even if we don't meet

Karim Mohsen Poem
She went to a small village to escape hell
She heard stories about a man living on a hill
No one has seen him in ages he became a legend
Darkness surrounded his name
so it wasn't mentioned
Some people said he was half man half animal
Others were convinced he was a cannibal
They told her what ever you do don't go to his house
Young, and curious that's what she did
Hours later she reached her destination
and wondered if it was too late to hide under her bed
See in the dark night his house was terrifying
She kept a brave face, but inside she was dying
She knocked on the door
minutes later he opened
She stood still for a moment
He was a normal man no horns or a tail
Looked handsome. If a bit frail
He invited her inside. She decided to risk it
They chatted, laughed, and had tea, and biscuit
She asked why are you isolated?
He said I have serious trust issues
The more he talked the more she related
she said please take me with you
Years later the people of the village told tourists
stories about a man, and a woman who live on a hill
No one knew anything about them.
Except that they were creatures from hell
(This poem is included in my book "Inside the Heart of a Lonely King" available now on amazon. Check it out ;) )

Karim Mohsen Poem
Tonight we enjoy this forbidden feeling
Maybe a little more damage is what we need to start healing
Tonight nothing can go wrong
Every melody on earth is our perfect song
Today we forget about tomorrow and yesterday
Today we forget that there's a price to pay
Tonight we enjoy this so we can put it behind
Cause until we kiss you'll be on my mind

Karim Mohsen Poem
They say a friend in need is a friend indeed
Well when I was in need. You left me to bleed
I thought we were family. I was really naive
I thought you'll be always there. You really made me believe
We had some tough times, but I thought we were gonna make it
I never thought you'd become another friendship that just faded.

Karim Mohsen Poem
Every morning when I go for a jog
I pass a little flower shop
I think about buying a rose
Then I continue walking
Cause it'll die before it grows
Cause the flower I'm looking for
Doesn't require water
It requires something more
The hand of the woman who will melt me
But since she isn't here yet. Those roses will remain in the shop, and I'll remain empty.

Karim Mohsen Poem
Arts, sports, and religion have one thing in common
Beautiful things human poisoned and now they're rotten
Once synonymous with happiness are now synonymous with scars
Now they stress us. They used to have the effect of beautiful stars
a
Made so we can live and now they are the reason many are dead
With one corrupt touch. The garden was lit
