" Lost in Love's Orbit"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Oh my, Oh my, soaring in the sky,
Yearning for wings, a wish to fly.
Mountains climbed to say Hi,
Chasing highs, reaching the sky.
Worth the journey, my joy supply,
Forever glued, I'm August, she's July.
But our love's tie, oh how it could die,
Rushed, goodbye missed, oh my, oh my.

Gravity, a growing cavity,
In search of her, a painful reality.
Loads of agony, changing normality,
Sounds like insanity, fueled by vanity.
No weapons but anatomy,
Cream making youth a rapidity.
They crave physicality,
Ignoring love, devoid of spirituality.

Crossing worlds, expending energy,
Here she is, Hey, it's me.
Pardon? Lost memory,
Years after the treasury.
Love's treasure lost in amnesia,
Won't give up, a lover's anesthesia.
Centuries may pass, still, I'll plea,
To win her back, restore love's directory.

Destiny sent a helpful friend,
Grateful, he aids the mend.
Reunited, chemistry blend,
Life's melody, a love to tend.
Ups, downs, and instability,
Yet love grows exponentially.
Great love, great ability,
Stronger than gravity, with credibility.

They say you can't fight gravity,
Yet, love stronger, rewriting history.
Love altering the course, a mystery resolved,
Inspired by "Upside Down," our story evolved.

"Silence"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Greetings, Miss Silence, a paradox in finesse,
Dancing between words, a delicate art to address.
In the game of guessing, I may confess,
Closeness and chaos, a nuanced duet, no less.

You're not a passing breeze, a transient bliss,
Investing effort in this, not an aimless miss.
For a guy challenging to impress,
You stand out, a young princess with a bless.

Adorable, capturing souls like quartets play,
Beethoven's notes in your essence lay.
Peace exudes as angelic hymns sing,
Flawless, akin to Mozart's clarinets and strings.

Conversations with you, an ever-attractive fling,
Teasing with randomness, the joy it brings.
Young and alive, a symphony of violins,
Head spinning moments, where naughtiness begins.

In the dance of words, a twin-like kin,
Reading you, a skill not too thin.
Teasing, a playful journey we both win,
A tête-à-tête, where merriment begins.

"Unexplained Realms"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the stuff we can't explain,
Pain silently weaves its intricate chain.
Complaints seem odd, but the heart's refrain,
Insanity reigns in the mind's terrain.

Calm exterior, a deceptive veneer,
Inside, a hurricane of thoughts unclear.
What you call a spark, to me, a flame,
Not lame, just not playing the same game.

I endure for a while, but limits attain,
Love transcends mere entertainment's domain.
Duties to deliver, rights to claim,
In the realm of love, authenticity's name.

" Eternal Love's Lounge"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the lounge of your love, completeness I find,
A power surging through, making me elite, love's bind.
A year ago, destiny paved our path to meet,
On that day, I sensed my first heartbeat.

Life, once a mystery, turned undeniably sweet,
Our initial conversation, a burst like Christmas eve's fleet.
Yet, I kept it discreet, a simplicity to evolve,
The first encounter, a quiet resolve.

I wished to assure you, "I'll take it from here,
Relax in the backseat, let love persevere."
You brought chilling peace, a warmth with ease,
My heart, a canvas, you painted with grace and finesse.

In the gallery of my mind, you were an envisioned masterpiece,
My dear wife, the missing piece.
You stole my heart swiftly, a thief in the night,
Cupid's arrow, the love police, locking you in, sealing our plight.

Now, in this timeless moment, let our kisses release,
An eternal dance, as time itself shall freeze.

"Beyond the Ceiling"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She gives me that feeling,
Beyond my ceiling, so appealing.
Totally endearing, admiration revealing,
Her gorgeous smile, always in style.

Combining purity of a white Lily,
Scented Tulip, and an artistic pink Rose so frilly.
Elegance of Saffron, grace of Jasmine,
Gentleness of Daisy, innocence, and hymn.

Beauty of a million Alyssum,
With the simplicity of a dark purple Violet's kingdom.
Not sure if I've captured her essence yet,
But she lives in every happy thought I get.
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the dance of deception, your steps entwined,
A betrayal veiled, a sinister design.
In shadows, you orchestrated my demise,
A symphony of deceit, a mask of lies.

Initially, you wore decency like a guise,
Yet, lessons taught you well in love's demise.
Heartless, you stand, a creation untamed,
No justification, a soul unclaimed.

Regret echoes in the aftermath's haze,
A dance floor memory, lost in a maze.
Why cheat, I thought the only rival was me.
Each sunrise, questioning what we could be.

Crazy, I am, unraveling the threads,
Did you care, or just fill empty beds?
Shoot my heart, revel in the blast,
Moon tears fall, a heart trapped and cast.

In squares of ignorance, lies, and despair,
Tied with sides of sorrow, depression, and care.
I walk away, weak and weary,
In the noon's darkness, an ocean's dreary.

Trapped heart, searching for love to consume,
In the depths, a silent, mournful gloom.
Now I ponder what truly matters,
Unspoken, the rescue from love's shattered splatters.

"Bromance"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Five years since we became peers,
Joking around, choosing careers.
From circuit labs to communication's spheres,
Making memories, laughing through the years.

Springs, falls, summers, rocking this hemisphere,
Whatever happens, we run the laughing gears.
Cool as it takes to be electrical engineers,
Even in the stillness of Computer Architecture.

Survived every lecture with 9gag and Twitter,
No quitter, one word: 16-bit subtractor.
Drawing nuclear reactors in gates, a daring feature,
Software for industry, a brain-fraction fracture.

Studying for midterms, vending machine cuisine,
Driving to ADNOC at 6 am, caffeine.
Breaking every boring routine,
Selfies, events, stories, each a vivid scene.

Our friendship, a tale that will extend,
Not the end, memories transcend.
A few years feeling like centuries,
Him mocking me with my guitar melodies.

TAQA's Hybrid Electrical car,
Female drivers black flagged, leaving a scar.
Shampoo, soap, bath gel, toothpaste (LOL) in a jar,
Wondering how to calculate the buffer from afar.

Memon made us suffer, but in the end,
Now I have a brother, a lifelong friend.

"Humor"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
My babe's humor, a treasure so dear,
Her laughter, nothing cuter, so clear.
All mine, with her father's approval,
Wishing our meeting had happened sooner.

Love wilder, growing with every word she speaks,
In the same building after a hiatus, emotions at their peaks.
On the bed, thoughts of her, her ring I hold,
Missing everything about her, memories untold.

Breathing love, notes played for the violin,
Not shallow but deep within.
Her eyes, her cheeks, her hand, her smiles,
In the symphony of my heart, love spans miles.

"Behind Closed Doors"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Behind my door, a refuge I find,
Wooden floor bears scars of love's cruel grind.
An injured soldier, love's aftermath,
A knife in my soul, a silent warpath.

In love's battles, no victor emerges,
Memories linger, the pain converges.
Recovery's facade, a cracking core,
Discarding memories, a relentless chore.

Shadows of oaths, loyalty's ghost,
Strength in silence, hurt the most.
Behind closed doors, emotions secure,
A sanctuary for the heart's obscure.
128 · Dec 2018
"Helpless"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Your laughs, pure and childish, a joyful sound,
Living proof, among us, angels are around.
Qualities abundant, let's do the math,
Astonishing eyes, universe's wonder in your path.

You hold a half of the universe's grace,
The other, acting on your behalf, a wondrous space.
Your smile, a reflection, making me smile back,
Love for you, a tag, an unwavering track.

When you fall asleep on your side,
Cute and open, where I want to reside.
In your arms, a comforting hide,
Let's go away, enjoy the journey's tide.

Watching you sleep, something special I find,
Perhaps the vulnerability, a feeling kind.
Lips landing softly, in a lovely kiss,
A moment in time, pure and bliss.

"Architectural Beauty"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She's in the charm of Hagia Sophia's interior,
Finesse of Alhambra's palace gardens, a visual superior.
Far surpassing Andalusia's arches,
Her laughter, the cheer of gothic stained glass marches.

Beauty drawn with Islamic decoration's details,
Prettier than any in worldly trails.
Her eyes, a meditation's peaceful retreat,
Outshining the Greek Parthenon's seat.

Combining Doric simplicity with Corinthian glamour,
Marvelous as the Pantheon's interior.
In blue and yellow Arab decorative geometry,
Her name whispered gently, a silent symphony.

Look, search, and see,
She's the masterpiece of the past centuries, undoubtedly.

"Stuck With Me"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the confines of our shared space,
Imperfect yet genuine, our moments embrace.
Fun we find in our own decree,
A conversation weaving its unique glee.

You yearned for a drive, a stolen key,
I suggested mischief, you opted for TV.
Piano notes echoed, counting silently,
One, two, three, a tempo in harmony.

Now, boredom lingers, a wish to be free,
As a bird soaring or a honeybee.
Dreams of faraway places overseas,
A thousand destinations where you'd rather seize.

Top of a mountain for a ski,
A quiet spot with somebody,
A picnic with friends, biscuits and tea,
Yet here you are, stuck at home with me.
118 · Dec 2018
"A Charm"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Girl, you charm from every angle.
All the cuteness of the world, you can handle.
I guess you were sent from heaven as a sample.
Your smile is a light-bringing candle.
That can light all the way from Vegas to Bangkok.
You had the mystery of my heart unlocked.
Since day one, when at you I looked.
All my feelings and senses were hooked.
My life and being were rocked.
Down off the horse of ego, I was knocked.
Then I flew up high as if gravity was no more, as if the field went to zero.
Because, I found you, my love hero.
Who knew.
I thought that I was destined to live in a torturing loveless hell.
But now that I fell.
How can’t you just love her with every cell.
Falling deep for her eye’s spell.
I know that my eyes tell.
Well, my eyes are just reflecting her magical smile...
I now know that I was created to admire.
Loving like never before.
Love made of warm chilling fire.

"You're A Smile"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
You are a smile, you are the universe!
You’d always go in the right direction, even if the whole world is on reverse.
You’re a million things that I’ll need a lifetime to rehearse.
I have no idea what I am writing in the next verse.
But whatever I write, will be a pint from the oceans you deserve.
From the first game, from the first serve.
I knew you're not from earth.
I don’t need to be smart to know what you're worth.
I lost my breath, and went out of words.
I can put together thousands of poems, but nothing will work.
Trying to describe you is like attempting to stop the clock.
Writing a few poems says nothing, I should write a book.
I was never exaggerating, not even a little bit.
Look for everything you can adore, and she will be the perfect fit.
I am positive, you want to bet?
You name it, chances will always be a hit.
I am sorry, I am still writing for you but I can’t quit.
Why? I don’t know, maybe the few hundred thoughts I have and need to admit.
Things I may have always skipped.
But it’s worth it.
I had to give a hint.
Because in my world, you left an imprint.
Like a piece of candy mint.
Even when it's all gone, it’s still there one hundred percent.
Although with time it starts to go away.
Unlike you, you stay.
You just asked what can you do.
When you just smile, you take people out of the blue.
People can sense when someone is just being true.
In a world, where there is only one of you.
I strongly believe you are capable of everything.
You can touch a cold ice heart, and in a moment it will be all spring.
You’ll have a job that doesn’t yet exist.
Because no one like you ever existed.
I personally can’t limit you to a single title.
You were just perfect in everything I listed.
Girl, you're gifted.
You're holding a bright future ahead.
A rose dressed in red.
Nothing from what you are was hardly said.
Do you want to hear a secret?
You're my idol.
So yeah, I am a big, big fan.
And I've had this question since ever.
With the purest intention.
So if I have your attention.
Help!!!
110 · Feb 2019
Listen
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Listen, can you hear it too? I love you,
Do you truly have to go? Already missing you.
We'll find each other, okay? You smiled,
Patiently waiting, for you, reconciled.
Here you are, eyes in the distance,
Why not coming my way, in this existence?
Can't you hear my heart play,
The symphony of our love, written to stay?
Someone takes her away,
More than love, it's my soul they sway.

Two parts of you growing inside,
The seed named "you," roots deep reside.
A million under our love's sun,
And a part of your soul, merging, begun.
I can't help but stay away, so sad,
Lost control, thoughts gone mad.
Rushing away, where am I now?
Told I lost him, opening my eye, somehow.
A piece of me died,
For ten years, calm on the outside.
Every night, his presence near,
Feeling his little palm, so dear.
Sure he's alive, a hopeful strive,
But the truth eludes, can't take a dive.

No matter how long it takes,
Down in a dark ocean, the soul awakes.
Too dark to see any motion,
Yet, I can listen, a devoted devotion.
Ten years have passed, love persists,
I still need you, I still insist.
I'll find you, but how?
Last time, I listened, I remember now.
Hearing a sound, growing louder, the echo,
Positive, I know, in this dark tableau.
Whose playing our symphony, the little kid! Bravo,
Oh, she's here too, the love's crescendo.

That's the sound of our love's decree,
Could it be?
He held my hand,
Found me, as we planned.
We found him, in the echo's key.

"Claims"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
You claim a strong heart, resolute and bold,
Yet, all women's hearts, tales of clay unfold.
Perhaps a departure left scars to replay,
Or love's nuances painted life in shades of gray.

Whether you've loved deeply or stayed away,
Your experiences shape the words you convey.
Love's a dance, sometimes a disarray,
A rhythm you navigate, night and day.

In our brief exchange, a glimpse on display,
One facet revealed, in a conversational relay.
Sweetheart, you're a gem, no need to betray,
Envy may linger, for the lucky one in your array.

"I Am Here"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
I am here, it's only me.
Who am I?
And what do I see?
Everything is beautiful through my eyes.
I am random but I am wise.
I am so different from other guys.
I cry through movies.
I like cooking and making smoothies.
Staying at home to read.
And I like cruising smoothly, I don’t like to speed.
I know what a woman would need.
I know how to be sweet.
How to keep up the excitement and the heat.
Keeping life up to the beat.
I deserve more than a girl who just won’t cheat.
Someone who would really love to keep.
I am ensuring perfectness, nothing will be incomplete.
I am looking for a lady, not a girl because I am no boy.
I don’t play with love, because a heart is no toy.

"Heavenly Melody"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She's the most adorable sight, cheeks so sweet,
Heaven leaks, creating a beauty discreet.
Spectacular symphonies in her voice,
Masters the art, leaving no choice.
Smiles, a technique she uniquely peaks,
Natural as views from mountain peaks.
Beauty, kindness, the friend's ideal,
A shifting moon, her appeal.
Wishing nights stay till noon,
Precious as an ancient golden spoon.
Life's musical piece, people the bass,
And she, the tune, in a harmonious embrace.

"Easy To Dream About"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Aren’t you just easy to dream about,
With that smile of yours, I cannot doubt.
Are those cheeks made of cherry?
Because I’ve never seen those before, they are not ordinary.
How about those lips, are they strawberry?
The perfect combination of everything, you're just legendary.
With that hair falling down framing that masterpiece of God, just imaginary.
You took me to another world, literally.
You’re not just someone that would pass by my life and I would just miss,
Doing all this,
To the guy who is likely impossible to impress.
You must be something special, a young princess with a bless.
You are adorable as it gets,
Soul capturing like when Beethoven is played by quartets.
Peaceful like when an angel sings,
Your flawless like a Mozart’s concerto of clarinets and strings.
A conversation with you stays attractive however it swings,
Young and alive like violins.
And I guess this is how this poem ends.
102 · Feb 2019
"She, Her"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She is made out of your rib,
Life's journey, with her, takes an awesome trip.
Her hugs, warm and tight, an unwavering grip.
In the stormy seas, she transforms your boat to a mighty ship.

When life teeters on the edge of a tip,
She's there, turning things around with a skip.
A taste of sweetness on your lip,
She's the one you can never skip.

Passion, love, and a friendship so deep,
She's the soft touch of fingertips, a secret to keep.
Made from your rib, a bond that's unique,
With her, every moment, an adventure to seek.

"A Friend From KG"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I recall the days of sharing cookies,
You pulling me from my hoodie,
Kindergarten memories, oh, so silly,
You, my childhood buddy.

The fortress beneath the table, a tale,
White sheets draped like a sail.
Barbecues, parks, wherever we'd meet,
Childhood moments, oh, so sweet.

Separated at a mall, families split,
In every memory, your presence lit.
Parents shared stories, but I knew,
Our bond was strong, forever true.

Playing, studying, sharing tests,
English lessons, I did my best.
From lasers to infrared,
Dreams of an engineer, the path we tread.

Helping you grow, learn, and invest,
A dentist's journey, different but blessed.
You could have been on the west,
Yet, our friendship stood the test.

Proudly, you claim the title,
My first friend, our bond so vital.
Longest friendship, a cherished connection,
A journey through time, our shared affection.

"The One"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
From the very start, it felt like you were the one,
Life with you promised endless, joyous fun.
Just winning your heart, my life's goal is won,
With you, I have it all, every moment, every sun.

Without you, breathing feels empty, air in my lung,
Apart, I'm numb, but with you, my heart's song sung.
Seeing you, heartbeat like a rolling drum,
Talking to you, happiness in every word, like a hum.

Holding hands, strolling as we walk,
If God made anything more beautiful, in heaven it's locked.
You, the most beautiful on earthly block,
Every curve, a masterpiece, like a timeless clock.

Even if loving you were a curse,
No force could take away this love, in the universe.
I'd dive the deepest oceans, for you, I'd traverse,
Always by your side, through life's diverse.

I'd pay my life to be by your side,
Blindly agree, in love, we'd confide.
The first time I saw you, an angel in my midst,
Not just a pretty girl, but an angel, I insist.

In my heart, you're always missed,
You, coming into my life, the greatest plot twist.

"Cello Serenade"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Crossed my sight, cello in play,
Adorably beautiful, dressed in yellow array.
A second, yet time moved ever so slow,
She took my mind, hands still moving the bow.
If we could skip the pages, end the show,
Find a way to make her stay, oh!

My cello calls her name, unknown,
Bar after bar, playing, praying, she won't go.
Now at the chamber's door,
She left, I can't see her anymore.
Desperately playing, my score,
Curtain closed, symphony no more.

End of the story, or so I supposed,
Little did I know, fate juxtaposed.
Months later, quartet plays Beethoven's 131,
Out of the blue, she enters, a welcome rerun.
Heart dancing, a one-man show begun,
Off the stage, I flew, yellow dress, the same one.

This time, she stayed beyond the clapping,
After whistles blown, in yellow, still captivating.

"A Thought Of Her"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
A thought of her sets me on fire,
In my heart, a growing desire.
Butterflies, a singing choir,
My joy supplier.

Every beep of my notifier,
Wishing it's her, my joy amplifier.
Adorable smile, magical twinkling eyes,
Captivating from a mile.

A year passes, feels like a while,
Dreaming of her every bedtime mile.
Falling every morning and night,
Tradable with nothing, her smile's light.

Innocence in her smile conveys,
Her face not made to frown, always.
Whatever it takes to keep,
Her angelic smile, precious and deep.

She smiles a silent tune,
Beautiful as a full moon.
Scented with an odorless perfume,
Wonderful like a blossom in bloom.

Simply, she is awesome,
A living daydream, so fearsome.

"Jealousy"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Jealousy,
I despise the ease with which they see,
Gazing at you so effortlessly.
Into your eyes, they dive eagerly,
Captivated by your heart's melody.
Believing they've found their chemistry,
Aiming to make you their destiny.
Endlessly dreaming about you,
Yet, you wouldn't grasp what I go through.

I understand the chaos, the entropy,
Caused by eyes fixed on you, inevitably.
But you wouldn't comprehend, not today,
The turmoil within, words can't convey.
In their dreams, they chase you endlessly,
While I grapple with my own jealousy.
A silent battle, you can't perceive,
Yet, it's my heart they try to thieve.

You, an unknowing muse,
Igniting passions they'll never lose.
In the shadows, I watch and dismay,
As others long for what's already at bay.
Jealousy, a bitter symphony,
Playing the chords of my silent agony.
You wouldn't understand, anyway,
As they seek you in the light of day.

"Adorableness"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Adorableness that cradles my heart in sweet release,
Cheeks as pretty as late spring peaches, a masterpiece.
Cozy warmth akin to a sunset on sandy beaches,
Eyes where the allure of heaven perpetually reaches.

Lips that grow sweeter with each lingering kiss,
An angelic presence, oh how I miss.
Every second without you feels like waste,
In your embrace, my heart finds its place.

Darling, your waist, a marvel to embrace,
With you, every moment, my heart finds its pace.
My soul realized it was misplaced,
With you, dear, it stays, forever encased.

In your love, I'm continually dazed,
Kisses tasting of honey, sugar-glazed.
You, a sweet concoction, a delight,
In your adorableness, my heart takes flight.

"Last Winter"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the memories of last winter's embrace,
A blend of green tea, lemon, and ginger, delicate in taste.
Not the burning timber, but a warmth so tender,
Life's hues transformed, becoming richer, surrender.

She gracefully stepped into the picture,
A radiant figure, gold-plating what was once silver.
Snowflakes danced in a symphony of delight,
Each moment extended, a canvas of winter's light.

Underneath the cold, a warmth profound,
Echoes of laughter, a love unbound.
In the gallery of time, this winter's treasure,
A tale of joy, a symphony beyond measure.

"Melody of Resignation"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Cello music resonates, piercing my heart's core,
A solace for the night, as tomorrow looms unsure.
Anticipating a dawn with feeble light,
The sun may rise, but the outlook isn't bright.

Yearning for a visit to my piano, a source of might,
To confess my sorrows, hidden in the shadows of the night.
Whispers of regret, echoing through the keys,
In a world where my spirit finds no ease.

Why awaken my cells to a morning so bleak?
In a realm where I feel like an outcast, an antique.
Incomprehensible minds, unable to grasp,
The complexities within my spectacular mental clasp.

A world I detest, where I seem to misfit,
In the depths of my unique, intricate wit.
They pluck at my patience, a hypocritical display,
Now, it's time to revise, to find my own way.

Watch as mastery unfolds, a feat of a little kid,
In the air it soars, a resilient spirit undid.
Draw the sword against a lousy hypocrite,
I can't endure, I quit, I quit.

"Love's Calendar"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
My lover, a white lily, and I, a lime so bright,
In our unique blend, everything feels just right.
Between us, a journey in a short span of time,
September's meeting led to a Valentine's climb.

Deeper into love, as Spring began to sing,
By April's second, I proposed with a diamond ring.
A forever promise, till death do us part,
She said, "Yes!" igniting love's vibrant spark.

It's always been about her, the world matters less,
Soon, she'll wear a white dress.
Marriott will witness our love's finesse,
Impressing every guest.

Love will fill the air, romance will ignite,
In our dance, we'll rock the night.
For a night of love in advance, I'll pay the price,
The best night ever, a glimpse into paradise.

Yet, for now, work awaits, honeymoon plans unfold,
Live music, flowers, and dance floors of gold.
Every detail meticulously we must hold,
A year of love, a story beautifully told.

From a girl I saw, to someone premier,
After finding you, everything became clear.
Though distance separates, our souls draw near,
To you, my lovely lady, always sincere.

"Rose Quartz"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
You're a beautiful rose quartz with calming energy,
A sense of inner peace, a divine synergy.
Before you, people thought diamonds were god's decree,
A look in your eyes, tanzanite blue open skies, a captivating sea.

You're that pretty pale pink lily that captured my heart,
Autumn, past summer, trees changing colors, a work of art.
Met you, witnessed your glamor, a dazzling start,
Rising from your seat, discussing data rates, a sweet impart.

In that autumn, watered a seed, uncertain where it would reach,
Grew into a lily, through fall into winter, a love to breach.
With it, a desire blossomed, a heart's gentle speech,
Fell for a smile, in the open air, kilometers away from the Nile's beach.
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Finishing carrot cake, spraying cream with grace,
Kettle whistling, steam flying in a heated race.
Tea leaves racing, shades of orange downstream,
Perfect she sits, watching your morning dream.
Depth of her eyes, a theme of pureness,
Flawless moment, or so it seems.
A second later, a dream, feelings extreme,
Beneath the ceiling, a silent scream.

She's gone, it's the end,
Lover back to a friend.
Fooling the mind to sleep, hoping for an extent,
Not possible, you lost your queen, the silent lament.
Show over, red curtains on the screen,
Again, what time is this, the fifteenth?
It hurts, giving up sleep, caffeine's sheen,
Not a machine, but it's always her, in your bloodstream.

Learned from dreams, boat or mountain ravine,
Places don't matter, her presence, the perfect scene.

"A Fix"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
This poem aspires to repair,
Yet won't ask for a forced cheer.
For different symptoms it tends to find,
Whether heart or spirit, troubles in the mind.

Cracks in hearts from harsh words spoken,
Breaking, by hearts that were once frozen.
Time and distance can work to heal,
A new heart grows, forged from steel.

If it's the spirit, beyond my expertise,
Yet a call to a loved one may bring release.
In her absence, exploit what she does best,
Connect, talk, and let the spirit invest.

She may not be physically there,
But her essence, her love, everywhere.
The healing journey may take its time,
Yet through connection, the spirits will climb.

No need for poems to dictate how to feel,
Just reach out, communicate, and let it heal.

"Stellar Eyes"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Her eyes, stars from outer space,
One look, a journey with no trace.
Heart plays rhythms, quickens its pace,
Helpless smiling, a wondering embrace.

Thought you were stronger, but not the case,
Surrender to her eyes, your only brace.
Close as in cold winters to a fireplace,
Her hair falling with elegance and grace.

Stylishness of flowers in a vase,
All the comfort in the world she can embrace.
Erasing memories, keeping only that look on her face,
Sweeter than desserts, muffins, brownies, and chocolate cakes.

Crossing oceans, seas, and lakes,
Diamonds in front of her break into flakes.
Traveling through the Milky Way,
Wishing upon a shooting star, a hopeful array.

A rocket, an astronaut, or a telescope to keep,
Looking at her eyes, a journey so deep.

"Celestial Symphony"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Angels, they say, reside in the sky,
But since meeting her, that seemed a lie.
Describing her as a person won't apply,
She's an angel, no need to clarify.

Anything touched by her soul does purify,
In our conversations, time would swiftly fly.
Seconds from "Hi!" to a swift "Goodbye!"
Fuels up the spirit, reaching the sky.

Her sweet smile, those twinkling eyes,
Or her personality, appealing and wise?
It's generated from somewhere inside,
Her mind, conducting a symphony with pride.

A beautiful field with a uni-pole,
Her fabulous mind plays a vital role.
Mastering everything, smooth and under control,
Generating a spiritual energy, taking its toll.

From high to low, energy's flow,
Filling you up, a life-changing show.
A special energy, strength in tow,
Passion, love, vitality in its glow.

Not the energy we're familiar with, you see,
But something unique, as precious as can be.
Feel it through your bones, down to a tee,
She provides the equation, solving the mystery.

Listen closely, she broadcasts in tones,
Frequencies of love, and energy zones.
A few hours and minutes, but beyond time's limits,
Moments that resonate with feelings and spirits.

Though words may have been few,
The conversations were a parallel view.
In a universe where she's the only star,
A princess unstoppable, reaching afar.

Late at night, a cover she sent my way,
"Happy" by Boyce Avenue, a musical display.
The feelings described in that melody,
Simply put, she's Mrs. Perfection in reality.

"Eternal Yearning"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
And still, tears stream down my face,
Until my eyes exhaust every trace.
Odd, perhaps, for a man to cry,
Yet, an empty sky can't deny.

How I wish to hold your waist,
On the dance floor, with elegance and grace.
Swaying steps, lost in your eyes,
The pain of goodbye, a hurtful surprise.

You vanish from my sight but not my mind,
Missing you is a challenge, a love that's hard to find.
My heart goes into a state of disarray,
Creating pain, love's strange display.

Nothing is the same when you're not near,
Happiness eludes, replaced by fear.
Attempts to find joy seem in vain,
Chained by a love, an unbreakable strain.

Even after vows were shared,
To witness you becoming my life, my declared.
Still, no right to keep you close,
The wait persists until our own house.

A future where leaving is no more,
Together, in love, our spirits will soar.

"No More Hearts"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
No more hearts, no more sweeter loving hearts,
Perhaps I should retract my playing cards.
Once it starts, there's no turning back,
Walking alone through boulevards, love's intricate track.

Uttering those words, irreversible as they are,
Your heart loses guards, fate in your lover's star.
In their hands, they hold the power,
To lift you high or cast you in the sand, in this love hour.

It's wild how three words can hold such sway,
Each utterance expanding your heart in its own way.
Recall when your heart danced to the band,
Now, to music, it's as cold as ice, hard to understand.

Blood, no longer pure, tainted by love's allure,
Running through your veins, a richness so poor.
Only your lover stirs that heart, nothing else for sure,
Love's magic, an eternal allure.

Always love, a paradox so right,
A journey from childishness to maturity in love's light.
Love, the poison, the cure,
A complex elixir, forever obscure.

"Queen of Angels"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Radiant as dawn, the loveliest I've seen,
In angelic realms, she'd reign as the queen.
Every passing second, her beauty evolves,
A unique gene, enchanting at just seventeen.

Immortality, a wish, akin to Wolverine,
For her allure is addictive, like nicotine.
Hearts race, adrenaline's vibrant stream,
Angel, girl, or a sweet soul in between?

Unveiling not from reality's mundane sheen,
She belongs to fiction or a movie screen.
Natural as the verdant tree's serene,
A rose's blush, paradise's radiant queen.

A bloom with a glow, a paradise rose,
All others envy, copying her pose.
Swaying gracefully, wherever she chose,
Colors and life, in her presence impose.

Like crystalline ice in the winter's snows,
A princess in every facet she shows.
In her aura, a captivating prose,
She reigns, magnificent, where beauty flows.

" A Grateful Heart"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In gratitude, I extend my sincere thanks,
For raising a gem with virtues and ranks.
An astonishing young lady, elegant and sweet,
In your guidance, she grew complete.

Sarcastic wit and grace she acquired,
In your care, her essence transpired.
Grateful for the purity and faithfulness instilled,
From chaos to stability, she skilled.

Every facet of her radiates an ideal glow,
A real-life princess in this tale we know.
I promise to keep her safe and sound,
Forever, in love, our hearts are bound.

When your blessing crowned our union,
Honor and joy, a harmonious communion.
Your daughter enriches my life each day,
In your legacy, we find our way.
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the realm of our magical wedding,
Your perfection painted everything, from the radiant lights to the crystal and flowers' elegant setting.
As I beheld you in the white dress, it felt like the first kiss, a moment unforgettable and beguiling.
We descended together, joyous tears from our loved ones, and my heart waltzing to the melody of yours, a dance so enthralling.

In your eyes, I melted, amidst the cheers of the crowd,
A witness to a love so profound.
It's time for everyone to see,
That you are mine, as destined to be.

"If you desire, a star from the sky I shall bestow,"
As we sway in a slow dance, emotions from head to toe.
Take me away, my love, let's explore the unknown,
Exotic feelings, a journey we've just begun, yet already it's overflown.

In your arms, I found solace, like the beginning of chocolate chips dough,
Dancing, eating, laughing, the night's magical flow.
Before we depart, a promise I had to fulfill,
Our song sung with all my skill.

The wedding concludes, and you are now truly mine,
My heart echoes, a symphony so divine.
In this quiet moment, just you and I,
You, my beautiful daisy, and I, on the throne of the world high.

Let's embark on the adventure of the unknown,
Home feels like home, the warmth you've always known.
From the first time you became my own,
My dream, my love, my heart's gentle tone.

Forever Yours
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In our togetherness, love's mysteries unfold,
A hundred years' worth in days, we're told.

Expressions of affection, diverse and grand,
Our love's potential reaches outer space and land.
Meant to amaze, in every gaze,
Blessing each spot where our love plays.

Like a peaceful dove in flight,
We are great, awesome, a million blossoms bright.
The heat of our love outshines the sun,
Together, we're pure fun, every love song spun.

Passionate spirits, souls of gold,
Our love, though new, feels incredibly old.
Bound in a timeless embrace, we hold,
A love story eternally told.

"Expandable Heart"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
When I fell for you, my heart chose to expand,
Couldn't contain your grand love, so unplanned.
Eager to put a ring on your hand,
A beach wedding, yellow sand.

Where you step, becomes my homeland,
Honeymoon nights, dancing to a live band.
For now, let's enjoy the moment, until all's planned,
You've always been in the music I've jammed.

Life turned over the day I knew your name,
Never again, it'll be the same.
Love spoke its word, igniting a flame,
Nothing can extinguish a lover's heart, not even rain.

I love the person I've become around you,
A love that lights up both heart and brain, true.
We're the masterpiece, love, the golden frame,
Ravishing around us, under an angel's wing, our love's claim.

Playing our story on a Harp's strings,
Protected and cherished, love eternally sings.

"Life and Love"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Life, a well of inconsistency,
Paradox forming a strange symmetry.
Like Beethoven's symphony,
So unique, just like yourself, so free.

Strong, yet soft as clay,
A heart still mending, a price to pay.
Hurt when he refused to stay,
Or left, perhaps, to find another way.

Maybe love left life fragile and grey,
Sorry if someone played your heart like a fray.
Never fell in love, or fell every day,
In a rush, can't stand the delay.

We only talked for a few hours today,
One side seen, okay?
Super sure, you're a dream,
Walk with pride, love, tough it may seem.

"Celestial Love Palette"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the night sky of navy blue,
A sparkling rose diamond, over you.
Blushing like peach flowers,
A beauty with superpowers.
She's an angel in the navy hue,
Captivating for hours and hours.

In mornings, the elegance of dark brown trees,
Olive green leaves, a serene tease.
One look captures souls, leaves,
Painting grey, erasing griefs.
Nothing but smiles and happy tears,
By sunset, warmness in the orange shears.

Doesn't knock, just comes in,
Sun borrowing shades of pumpkin.
In music, every note of a gold violin,
A twinkling smile makes heads spin.
Lose track, asking what happened, when,
A feeling taking over, love my friend.

The start of the end, love always an end,
Happy, sad, or a blend.
Fell for her, cupid's arrow descends,
Or she'd rather be your friend.
A blend, nature disapproves,
But a real lover can undo.

You know so little, my heart,
Her smile is just the start.
She hands you a paper, it's blank,
Loves coloring with all colors, except black.

"Love and Mythes"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Love, the biggest myth, no magical kiss,
Exaggeration, a world in bliss.
No eclipse, just losers with bricks,
Life is awesome, no need for tricks.

Shooting stars won't grant a wish,
Life's not a roll of dice, no need to relish.
Love does exist, but not teen's fantasy,
Real love is sure, room for more, a symphony.

Find the one you'd die for,
See them every day, every hour, evermore.
Life's weight, relationship's fate,
True love withstands, don't hesitate.

Propaganda aside, love is no teen's riddle,
When it's true, no need to twiddle.
Your heart's beats, a connection's feat,
Feeding existence, love's heartbeat.

Hands around her waist, a dance's trance,
Tweeting birds, a life enhanced.
True love, change of plans,
Magical words, wisdom in her glance.

Not just falling for her eyes,
True love goes beyond blue skies.
Magical words, wisdom-wise,
A soulmate who never compromises.

Angels exist, wisdom at five,
Seeking a partner, not raising a baby hive.
Deep, keeping you alive,
A wife, not a fleeting knife.

Love from the heart, mind in flight,
Think more than twice, share your life.

"Forever Joy"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Happy until forever, immeasurable pleasure,
Tapping legs, dancing, light as a feather.
Smiles controlling the weather,
Favorite record playing, better than ever.

Same music from the dream, danced together,
By a Parisian waterfall, a memory to treasure.
Sitting for iced tea to Nutcracker's leisure,
Time stopped to her glamour, rainy day's pleasure.

Reborn out of laughter, moments we measure,
Falling for the smiles she so skillfully masters.
Just a dream, but every moment counts, dreams matter,
Conversations and every word, a lovebird's chatter.

Dreaming of her, where nothing's ever shattered,
Her voice, the best symphony, my world is flattered.
A single call flips my world, all curled,
Happy, joyful, delighted, in her love swirled.

Scientific papers cite her, my happiness knighted,
Breaking into my life uninvited.
Knows her way through, no need to be guided,
Leaves, and I'm still all excited.

Feeling drifted, in another land,
Where no other man had.
She may not know, address unplanned,
The only one with the pass in hand.

"Felicity"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Being with you is pure astonishing felicity,
I love everything about you and how your looks define beautiful simplicity.
Very naturally pretty, just like how the sea is adorably blue and leaves are green,
Your eyes are intense and serene.
Like honestly they are the best eyes I have ever seen.
I am addicted to you, and my blood will never go clean.
Kissing you was sweet, smooth, and dulcet,
Just like melodies played on the trumpet.
Your cheeks are the nicest thing my lips ever met,
Your kisses take over all of my dreams, they are hard to forget.
Your touches flip me on the inside although they are so quiescent.
I love the way you talk and your evocative nature,
I can keep writing about you on each and every paper.
The days that pass without you are just mediocre,
I wish that all those me-alone days are over.
Or I wish I had a job as a composer,
So I could still get the work done staying wherever you are.
However close it is or far.

"Voyage of Mr. Cloud"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Goodbye, Mr. Ocean, it's happening, wohooo!
Let's go, guys, keep up the motion.
Emotions I can't describe, a journey so divine,
Pools, tanks, underground pipes left behind.
Up in the sky, racing the crowd,
In minutes, they'll call me Mr. Cloud.
Finally, the honor, forever proud,
White and fluffy, oh, so lucky.

Busy looking up, missing the view,
Earth's green and blue, a mesmerizing cue.
So high, birds flying through,
Wind blows, changing paths to Peru.
No, to France, maybe Spain, my chance,
Paris, city of love and romance.
Pass by Rome, sea beside Greece, take a glance,
No rush, enjoy the ride, a cosmic dance.

After Italy, flowing south, Mediterranean sea,
In a distance, the Mediterranean's Bride I see.
Such pleasure, such pride, descending in Egypt,
Feels just right, a dream intercept.

With every mile, can't help but smile,
Above Cairo, the magic starts, free for a while.
Thirty past three, when I was free,
Here comes the rain, down goes the pain.
Up goes the spirit's gain, hiding, but those two girls,
Everyone thinks they're insane.
Oh, they're smiling, playing a little, then we'll drain,
Deep down we'll remain, until someone finds us,
Maybe to help grow some grains.
Hopefully, one day, we'll go up again.

"Be Mine"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
A dream held long, now unfolds in view,
Becoming official, a journey with you.
Marrying you, the pinnacle of truth,
Life sheds its artificial, welcomes the youth.

Seconds pivot, embracing the new,
Ten months of beauty, a love that grew.
Together we thrived through every mood,
A tapestry of moments, deliciously good.

In days to come, suits and dresses we'll don,
Approaching your father, a question to spawn.
On cloud nine, I shall reside,
As you become mine, in love we'll confide.

Wearing the title of husband and wife,
Embarking together on this journey of life.
A union sealed, bound by time,
Forever yours, eternally mine.

"Memories On Scores"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Memories held between the lines of scores,
Cold chills to the core, music's open doors.
Laughs at guitar lessons, moments that implore,
Keenness to times when music filled my essence, a love to explore.

Walls resonating with my presence,
Playing music, an obsession, a lifelong essence.
Drumming jamming sessions, a rhythmic coalescence,
Piano surrendering to accelerando progression.

First show-off to the crush,
Few chords and a wink, making her blush.
A look that can't grasp enough,
Beats on, lights off, into the black hush.

Shut your eyes, turn on music, teleporting back,
Feel warmth in your heart, a familiar track.
Sync heartbeats to the song, a connection intact,
Hold your breath, stay in, before it all goes slack.

"Keep My Heart"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Take my heart, let it be yours to keep,
I've never loved you less, in love, we leap.
Love grows mightier, a secret we'll always keep,
Especially when you wear that black dress so sleek.

Every move, curve, and bit, you rock with grace,
Not loving you would be a chaotic maze.
Your love, a blessing, my heart's warm embrace,
Alive and better, with you, life's a blissful phase.

If you felt that way, my love, I'm sorry,
Words, at times, create an unnecessary worry.
Tiny faults in our grid, please don't hurry,
In your head, love remains, a constant flurry.

Our future shines bright when I look ahead,
No more frowning, let's ignite the spark we've bred.
Tears shed, replaced with joy instead,
Together, forever, with love that's widespread.

So, keep smiling, my love, let's embark,
On a journey of love, leaving no room for the dark.
Our flame, like the beginning, a constant spark,
Living life with you, forever, leaving no room for stark regret.
