We built a wall of memories
Perfect picture painted symphonies
A tapestry of two written in the melody
That seemed to sing softly in my ears

In the cold world
You made a refuge in the dark
I could stay awake just to feel you breathe
To hear that comforting tune you play

You let me hear
The beauty in the harmony
Then sung sweet promises
That made me believe, in destiny

Now all that's left is woeful silence
The beautiful song that my heart chased
Just seemed to fade away
Gone into the midnight like a castaway

When you left me in the darkness
I didn't have the words to say
Nor did I have the things to feel

Now I hear sirens sing for me
A cold hollow call
Discordant in their misery
When you left me underneath

Is any of it ๐’Ž๐’†?
                                Am I lost in the In between?

                                       I keep asking myself

I often look up
When my world is down
To stare at the stars
When no one is around
Samir Mohammed Feb 2022
Surrogate pawn
In the light of day
These moves aren't yours
In this game we play

Make a move
Take your time
In the end
It's still all mine

You'll be the first to laugh
At the end of my string
you'll know it's all pretend
'Cause I always win
Samir Mohammed May 2022
O' Sun I beckon to thee
Shine thou light
O' set me free
In overpowering might

This light of day
Thou hast burnt the rain away
In all coming wake
A new dawn breaks
Samir Mohammed Mar 2022
As the last light fades
My hope leaves with the day
So goes my heart into the fray
Waiting for a new dawn to break
Samir Mohammed Jul 2021
I never feared death
I welcomed her with open arms
To take my last breath
Thrown into the ways of harm

And death was my console
Slowly sinking into the abyss
An invitation to my soul
The life I lived remiss
Samir Mohammed Aug 2021
My mind is an ocean
Vast and Deep

In it I have found
Every piece of me

In it I have drowned
Who I used to be

In it I have Crowned
The new king of deceit
Samir Mohammed Nov 2020
The skies were pitch
the deafening silence only filled
by the sound of violence
crickets chirping, blood spilled

The fireflies that used to be here are gone
Now they lie, down in the mud, torn
Now they've died, and the birds don't sing their song
No more of the soft tone that I used to know

The flowers didn't even grow
Covered and coveted in the snow
Lost in the gaze of this black hole
Stars lost their glow, as I watched from below
Loneliness
Could lead me to the darkest places
A hall of memories
Hiding obscure blurry faces

When I search inside myself
There's a quiet emptiness
Still as the lonesome midnight

There's always regret
In Letting go
Not ever how I wanted
This to go

In another life
We can see eye to eye
Tomorrow is another day
Promise, we'll be fine
Samir Mohammed Mar 2022
A sweet story being told
Melting, it fills the mold
Every word is a piece of us
Every new world on the canvas

Couldn't you see
Every part of you and me
Has shaped the flowers
Until they became ours
Even this poem is a reflection, uniquely, because your mind has made it a part of you and has written its own story.
Samir Mohammed Feb 2022
It's getting harder to see
Through this smoke in my lungs
Hoping to break the fog
Cigarette on my tongue
It calms my anxiety

Ensnared in my mind
Too scared to scream
My body's not mine
This feels like a bad dream
Life can't go on living in the past, or through another.
Samir Mohammed Dec 2021
I often lock my eyes
On the sight of the sky
And I stare into the night
Under the glow of moonlight

Through this looking glass
I could see
An entire world out there
Looking back at me

— The End —
