"Heart's User Guide"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
You lied, tried to weasel from my heart,
Not smart, this isn't a game to restart.
No hardware, not a restart,
People like you need a lover's manual to chart.

WARNING: The heart you're about to handle is fragile,
Not a toy, commitment needed until the aisle.
May break if left without care,
History protected, in a file to share.
Multiple breaks reformat you out,
Love won't compile, filled with doubt.
Approach softly, don't revile,
Detects fake tear or smile.

Still daring to ask about warranty,
Broke every point, saw through the mystery.
Clear now, you were acting as if non-existent,
Now Kryptonite, my survival is distant.
Time to leave, no longer your knight,
Can't survive another night.
Apologies if bluntness lacks in this write,
You must depart, I'm no longer your knight.

"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.

The Final Breath
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
What if I drew my final breath,
All that built me embraced by death.
Feelings, thoughts, and pride subside,
A vanishing echo of the soul's last ride.

No remnants of laughter or tears I cried,
Childhood memories in oblivion hide.
Playgrounds and hideouts no longer a guide,
Leaving a void where I once did reside.

Everything dissipates, a swift disappearance,
No value remains, no trace of existence.
Skills and status lose their relevance,
In the face of the void's sheer prevalence.

Cool or wired, poor or royal,
Loyalty or deceit, in death, they foil.
Dreams and hopes, uncompleted ventures,
Erased in a realm where nothing enters.

What if life's a ladder, an endless climb,
We linger on hope, for the aftertime.
Endless chapters, stories we scribe,
Yet, fading away, we eventually imbibe.

"Friendship Essence"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Not ordinary, a rare friend so dear,
A lexicon of virtues, crystal clear.
Lovely, smart, and one of a kind,
Comforting, understanding, a heart aligned.

Supportive, caring, energetically magnetic,
Encouraging, sympathetic, truly poetic.
Lived a lifetime, liked only a few,
Found you, special and true.

Talking with you is simple and smooth,
Art, music, and knowledge, you behoove.
Listening with a special mission,
Changing the definition, a whole vision.

A tree of kindness, offering free,
True advice, a shadow for me.
Generous with time, like a helpful tree,
Everything a friend could be.
108 · Feb 2019
"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.

"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.
106 · Feb 2019
"Eternal We"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Love, not just a strong emotion's reflection,
A flame hotter than the sun's core, a cosmic connection.
Heart's warmth when a lover is near,
Fear of losing her, love's greatest frontier.

Beautiful is love, but she is different,
Everything I wished for, she's my life's intent.
More than I live for, adore her with every breath,
Escape to a mighty shore, eyes deeply caressed.

Around her, feelings like never before,
A shared life, no more you and I, it's forevermore.
Choosing to share, creating an eternal we,
In the symphony of love, a harmonious decree.
105 · Feb 2019
"Do Re Mi"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
D, C sharp, G flat, or an E,
Touches each key, a melody so free.
An old tune, a cherished memory,
Holds a part of me, captivates my legacy.
Sound, chaos energy it might be,
Can make you smile, dance, frown, or cry.

Major scales, the happy trails,
Leave nothing but pain, why?
The last piece played before goodbye,
A seed of joy, deep through cells it flies.
Puts you on top like a king,
Happiness it brings, pleasure's sweet sting.
G major chords, back to the ring,
Patterns played, can't help but sing.

Bass notes, winter chills in spring,
Low long violin notes, goosebumps cling.
High notes take you where you've never been,
Age, color, women, or men,
Heart synchronizes with the drum's beat,
Legs tapping, neat band feat.

Attached to every part, getting their heat,
Warming the soul, making you complete.
Background sound of an orchestra, boson, and horn,
Takes your soul away, reborn.
A combination of notes, Do Re Mi,
Exactly seven, your own heavenly spree.

"New Bond"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
You embody the essence of love, and even more,
In matrimony, a bond like never before.
Yearning to be with you is my sole desire,
In your embrace, my heart finds solace, a calming fire.

Your touches, an artful elegance,
Each one, a melody, a tender resonance.
From the very start, every moment shared,
Apart, happiness is scarce, a truth declared.

You're as sweet as a strawberry ****,
Without you, life's challenges hit hard.
Let's live together, in every endeavor,
Shopping for dinner, side by side, forever.

A nearby mart, our frequent retreat,
Watering trees, a garden so sweet.
Watching flowers bloom in the month of March,
Every moment with you, a treasure, an everlasting spark.

Living, savoring every piece,
Our journey, a harmonious release.

"After Midnight"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Past midnight, I am going through her photos...
My love is prettier than the most elegant rose...
The cutest eyes, cheeks, lips, and nose...
Not just roses, she’s prettier than all flowers...
I can set down look at her for hours...
I can even keep looking for a year...
Around you, everything is clear...
I will always be yours and forever to you, I’ll be sincere...
Babe, you are my atmosphere...
I wish you were here...

"All About You"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Your lips are gorgeous, you don't need lipsticks with the color of strawberry or cinnamon...
You own a charismatic smile that turns me on...
Enchanting and irresistible soft blushing cheeks, I couldn't help it but leave my kiss on...
I don't know how I would live if I did not hear your pleasant voice daily, on the phone...
When you hug me, I am the greatest king ruling the world from my golden throne...
In your arms, I am so strong I can crack down a mountain as if it was a sandstone...
Writing about you is complex, difficult but rather so simple...
Your stunning existence, ultra-normal beauty alters nature creating storms which are outrageous and still so gentle...
You are beautiful things agreed to come together and assemble...
You are extraordinary on the level of every cell...
And your charm reaches down to my cells to fill it with happiness as far as I can tell...
Heaven opened its platinum gates widely fair square to me when in your love, I fell...
I walked proudly in your heaven and said to my old life, “Farewell”...
Laying on papers the first letters to our love story novel...
That talks about you, the pretty princess, and I, who you made the happiest man...
And how you filled my heart with peace and comfort, just like the feelings brought to the heart when listening to the Quran...
And how I have been thinking about you every second since it all began...
Everything is about you now, I am no longer getting close to being vain...
I hate staying away from you, it drives me insane...
Life with all its amusements without you seems quite plain...

"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.
101 · Feb 2019
"Blushing"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She's blushing,
And I am crushing.
Feelings explode, an implosion,
Enough to boil an ocean,
Even if it was frozen.

Crack my heart open,
Only "I love her" will be spoken,
Won't stop, even if diamonds were broken.
She's super sweet, in pink, white, or blue,
A week ago, on the road I flew.

In my best mood, excitement subdued,
When I saw you, my soul glowed,
Love coursing through my blood vessels flowed.
Fell for all of you, your smile, good heart, and codes.

What I like about you?
You're comfortable to be around,
Filled with hope, covering from the moon to the ground.
When you talk, love the way you sound,
Wouldn't trade you for a billion pound.
101 · Feb 2019
"Thousand Lines"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
If it brings you joy, I'll write a thousand lines,
In your eyes, a feeling so fine, like aged wine.
Your smile, a melody, takes me to cloud nine,
The moment you smiled, my heart knew you'd be mine.

In your presence, girl, like a vintage bottle of wine,
You're there, and my world learns how to shine.
Without you, life tastes like a briny brine,
Your prettiness defines, a love that intertwines.

Your heart captivates me, a design so crystalline,
Blessed by love since the day you were Valentine.
If it weren't a crime, I'd kidnap you, make you mine,
Sipping soda, lime, looking into eyes that brightly shine.

I love you with the power of my soul, a love so whole,
You complete me, the main role in life's grand scroll.
You're everything I dreamt, forevermore,
Close to my heart's core, you're the one I adore.

Let's start a life together, no more to explore,
A story of love, pages and pages to store.
Show the world how love should be, forevermore,
Living peacefully, leaving the rest of the world at the door.

Eyes not just for looking, but for exploration,
Finding love's peacefulness, ending any altercation.
Names written, love exposed, no hesitation,
Building our world, ignoring any expectation.

I'll be your husband, poet, and musician,
In our love symphony, no need for precision.
Our life together, joy and endless pleasure,
No pressure, just love, a bond without measure.

Once in the game, you'll never leave, forever,
In our infinite love symphony, always together.

"Every Dream"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She visits my dreams in a gown so divine,
Pearl white, enchanting, like a sparkling sign.
In every night, she looks incredibly fine,
An entwined vision that my eyes can't decline.

Lost in time as I gaze upon her face,
Realizing she's the one, my heart's rapid pace.
In her embrace, destiny and fate trace,
My heart confirms, accelerating its chase.

It takes a moment to gather my wits,
To ask her for a dance, create enchanting fits.
Dancing to Mà Vlast, hands around her waist,
All the moments before her, now gone to waste.

The remaining seconds, all dedicated to her,
Dancing, smiling, laughter, a magical blur.
Jumping like music notes from staff to staff,
From Treble clef to bass, life on pause, epitome of love's craft.

Her cuteness defies all defining laws,
A smile as natural as waterfalls.
Every time she talks in every dream,
Love recurs, a recurring theme.

"Without You"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Without you, I'm nothing, a mere silhouette,
With all my heart, love's surge I'll never forget.
Towards you, I'll always be rushing,
Your smile, a spell that leaves me blushing.

No one looks as pretty, so charmingly touching,
Each glance at you, adoration is clutching.
Cute and stunning, every aspect,
Your presence creates an electrifying effect.

Every touch doubles my heart's beat,
I'd trade half my life for a moment so sweet.
We make a couple, a perfect blend,
Kissing you feels like a conversation, love's trend.

Hugging you, life's finest art,
From the start, it's the best part.
Everything about you, I desire,
Love you to galaxies, passion's fire.

Your voice, a soothing balm,
Everything you did, a calming psalm.
Dipped in love's fountain, my heart's washed,
All sadness erased, emotions rehashed.

Your touches, soft and affectionate,
Cute and hot, a perfect mate.
Your smile, a radiant thousand-watt,
In your love's embrace, everything's sought.

"Grey"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Grey, a miserable day,
When she's away,
Heart refuses to sing or play.
Smile takes a holiday,
Time suffering a slow delay.

Living in a soulless way,
She touches something in your soul.
When she's there, something beautiful unfolds,
Like the moment before a goal.

Her eyes, a captivating spell,
With one look, into them, you dwell.
They fly you to the moon,
Most adorable eyes, a precious boon.

In other words, they color your life,
The most beautiful in the universe, beyond any strife.
When she's away, you feel low,
Day turns grey because she's your rainbow.

Colors life, colors your world,
In her absence, a monochrome swirl.

"A Fix"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
This poem is meant to repair,
Won't just ask you to "cheer up," that wouldn't be fair.
Different symptoms, but it's either the heart or spirit,
Neither could heal alone; together, we'll find the merit.

Hearts crack when rough words are spoken,
Broken by others whose hearts have been frozen.
Luckily, time and distance can heal,
A new heart grows, sturdy as steel.

No need for poems to tell you how to feel,
Once the last traces of ice are gone, the heart will zeal.
If it's the spirit, beyond my expertise' limit,
But call someone you love, talk for a minute.

From my experience, that's a spirit refueling ticket,
I know you'd prefer she was there to pick it.
For now, exploit her skills at their best,
It's a temporary remedy until you're together, no jest.

"About You"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Your lips, a canvas of beauty, no need for strawberry or cinnamon hue,
Charismatic smile, an enchantment that turns my world askew.
Soft blushing cheeks, irresistible and true,
Leaving my kiss, a testament to the love that grew.

Your voice, a daily symphony, a melody of delight,
In your hug, a kingly realm, ruling from a golden height.
Strength surges, mountainous might,
Cracking stone like sandstone, a powerful light.

Describing you, complex yet simple,
Nature altered, storms wild and gentle.
A fusion of beautiful things, in assembly,
Extraordinary, every cell, your charm reaching through to me.

Heaven's gates opened wide, a platinum fair square,
Falling in love, bidding old life "Farewell" in the air.
Our love story on paper, the first letters spell,
Of a princess and a man, the happiest, I tell.

Peace and comfort fill my heart, a divine art,
As profound as the Quran's soothing start.
Every second, thoughts of you span,
Our love's inception, a tale that began.

Now, everything orbits you, no room for vain,
Staying away, a maddening refrain.
Life without you, plain and mundane,
In your eyes, the universe's deepest mystery, I gain.

Apologies for any lapse in gratitude,
February unfolds in the most amazing magnitude.
Living each moment in your company,
A chapter in our love story's symphony.

"6 Months"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Somewhere above god’s wide land…
I met an angel, totally unplanned…
After six long months, I held her hand…
I can’t describe the joy of it, I just can’t…
My heart went crazy every time she laughed…
Every time I look in her eyes, I get relaxed…
So elegant like a princess from the past…
I found the love of my life at last…
The days I see her go quite fast…
In the past two days, I enjoyed every second that passed…
With her presence lighting up my life, like a star blast…
The most beautiful engineer ever, no wonder my heart was hacked…
Seeing her is like a bill of happiness extract…
Her eyes, cheeks, and lips, no one can compete with that…
To every small detail of her, I am so attached…
Awesome, right? But I didn’t even start; this is the abstract…
I googled a description of an angel, and she perfectly fits…
You get delightful when you touch her fingertips…
You are living one of the most beautiful relationships…
She had fed you your favorite chips…
You are dying to kiss her cheeks and lips…
She makes you feel like a mighty prince…
On Valentine's, she gifts you your favorite strings…
She is pure like summer water springs…
She asks for being with you, with her birthday wish…
Sitting next to her is so pleasant you just wish time would freeze…
Her eyes open joy doors with secret keys…
I love her so much…
Our souls flow into each other’s heart when we touch…
Her lips look like caramel fudge…
They shine and charm…
I melted when she hugged my arm…
It was so seductive having her cheeks so close…
Blushing in the color of rose…
I’ll follow her wherever she goes…
Write for her and compose…
She has such soft, lovely skin…
Holding her took me to places I never been…
I heard new notes played on the violin…
Everything about being with her is a win…
I am neither an expert nor a professor...
But our fingers fit perfectly together…
Being with her is so much pleasure…
Incredibly beautiful and yet so clever...
I can’t imagine how lovely it would be to sleep next to her every night…
To hear her heartbeat when every sound goes quiet…
And as she goes asleep, I hug her so tight...

"Where are you?"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Are you gazing at the stars right now?
Do you miss me as I do, wondering how?
Are you peering into the future, to the day of my vow?
I'm searching for you; tell me how.

Looked in bookstores and concertos with classical grace,
Discussed symphonies for lost loved ones, wars, and embrace.
Scanned every sunset on all shores,
Hoping you're there, enjoying the outdoors.

Have I been in the wrong place all this while?
You're not on the moon, right? Not in outer space, that's not your style.
Finding love is hard, not an effortless grace,
Feels like I'm trapped alone in a maze.

Is it taking forever, not just a life phase?
If you're wondering how to recognize me, I always have a book,
And you, with the key to my heart's lock.
Can't wait for the day to show off when I cook.

Listening to a cover of Tove Lo's "Stay High",
The one that says, "You're gone, and I stay high all the time."
She lost him, and I can't find you; it's a lonesome rhyme.

"The First One"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Her magic lingers between my lips,
Her hug warms my ribs, love's gentle sips.
Engagement rings, a symbol that equips,
Her best smile born after the kiss eclipsed.

Craving her angelic lips, sweet and divine,
Missing the touch, holding her hand entwined.
Obsessed with kissing, an intoxicating sign,
Tongue and lips tasting like strawberry wine.

Paradise lies in her heart, hugged to my chest,
Sliding hands, touching her waist, love's zest.
Her reflection radiates perfection, so blessed,
From another dimension, she's love's conquest.

With undivided attention, she touches and cares,
Special techniques, love that sincerely glares.
Taking away rust, love that endures and dares,
She keeps me going, the sweetest ****** that flares.

The closest confidante, a trust that's true,
Her love, a crust to delve into.
Tickling my heart, blushes anew,
Growing like a flower, love so overdue.

Reducing me to a little kid, though tough,
Sweetness so profound, never enough.
Her love, an elixir, a potion to quaff,
In the symphony of our eternal love.

"Beautiful"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
In your beauty, God, an exquisite tale,
Accelerating inward, your magical spell prevails.
Describing the loveliness with you, I fail,
Once a poet, now words pale.

Living away, it's a hellish swell,
Every moment, missing you, a story cells tell.
Thrown words lost in beauty's endless well,
You, a priceless pearl, and I, your shell.

"Holding Her"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She nestles her head upon my shoulder,
In the gentle embrace, I hold her.
As winter's chill around us grows bolder,
Wrapped in warmth, our love unfolds.

Fitting seamlessly within my embrace,
A hundred degrees, yet I'll hug her with grace.
Endless summer, her kiss I'll trace,
In her embrace, everything finds its place.

At the culmination of a kiss, the world aligns,
Her kiss, a melody, the prettiest it shines.
More cheerful than a tweeting bird's rhymes,
A symphony of love, echoing through time.

Heaven served us this harmonious blend,
Beethoven and Mozart, in her kiss transcend.
Like an angel, she gracefully descended,
Kissing her, an experience splendid.

A journey to find her, worthwhile and profound,
She fell from heaven, in elegance unbound.
Her smile, a beacon that brightens around,
In anything she wears, beauty is crowned.

In arguments, she's adorable and rare,
A caring soul, beyond compare.
Perfect moments by the sea, so fair,
In her absence, "miss you" fills the air.

In this universe, she's my sole decree,
The only one my eyes long to see.
With her, life finds its melody,
A symphony of love, in perfect harmony.

"Dutiful Sailor's Pledge"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Whatever it takes to bring her joy,
Smoothly, classy, I'm her sailor, love my ploy.
Love, my sea, where I navigate with skill,
On the count of three, the world I'll fulfill.

World serving Her Highness, my decree,
If winter bothers, I'll raise the Earth, just for her to see.
Fighting stress, keeping her away from mess,
Lover, servant, assistant, chef, no task to confess.

Everything she needs, nothing less,
In love's journey, my unwavering compass.
A sailor pledged, devotion unfurls,
Navigating the seas, around the world.

"Alive and Real"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Honey, you're alive and real, a vibrant zeal,
The way you make me feel, every emotion ideal.
In love with you, my dear, the weeks feel like a year,
You're my atmosphere, my sweet little engineer.

I wish I were near, being around you, paradise sincere,
My heart already adheres, to yours so clear.
In our love world, you and I claim first and second,
Everyone else, a distant third, love's testament.

Your voice, the most beautiful I've ever heard,
You, my sweet loving bird, my lifetime dream assured.
Clear as crystal, nothing is blurred,
Promise to never hurt, a vow from the start secured.

Deep down inside my heart, you'll reside,
In love's journey, with you, as my guide.

"Blessed"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Blessed by your existence, a profound grace,
Feeling the beats of your heart, in every distance.
My love flowing into your soul, no resistance,
Growing exponentially, an enduring instance.

I'd never leave your side if given a chance,
Falling deeply for your eyes, from the first glance.
Can't wait until you're all mine, our hearts in advance,
Longing for the day, in the white dress, we dance.

Being with you tops all my plans,
Only you matter, not the land or the place.
In outer space, I'd stick to you, embrace,
"I love you" transcends, not just a phrase.

"I love you" holds the warmth of winter sun's rays,
Carries the peace any instrument plays.
"I love you" encapsulates beautiful things in all ways,
A love that deepens with each passing day.

"Walked In"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Walked in, saw him caressing her hair,
My heart cried out, firing its desperate flare.
Stepped back, wan face vanishing into thin air,
The love of my life might soon be in his arms somewhere.

The thought gave me a scare,
Messed it up a hundred times with her.
A pinch sweet, a ton of selfish, an unkind affair,
A million careless, love slipping into thin air.

Losing the only true one,
She finds the current state despicable, nothing can be done.
Fixing needs time, she won't wait, it's undone,
Chances diminishing, the heart now weighs a ton.

Forever numb, cut loose,
Left with nothing but smokes and *****.
In the shadows, emotions diffuse,
A heartbroken soul, paying life's dues.

"Her Beauty"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Her laughter, a melody, my heart's joyous rout,
Hidden beneath, an angel, there's no doubt.
Contemplating why, in life's intricate bout,
One would choose to log out.

Adorable and endearing, like a cloud so white,
Outplaying the sweetest violin's delight.
She surpasses brilliance in my code's byte,
A crystalline spectacle in snow's soft light.

Brighter than stars in their radiant ode,
A uniqueness spanning the globe.
Our meeting, a serendipity to behove,
Sweet, pretty, and clever, virtues she strove.

Her name, a unit where beauty's measured,
A scale where elegance is treasured.
From zero to her name, a spectrum ensnared,
Others mere fragments, micro, nano, and pico declared.

"Desert Stars"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I wish I could take you for an evening ride,
Drive to the desert, under starlight, we'd hide.
Lay down on the sand, hold hands side by side,
Into the world of love, your heart as my guide.

When it gets late, I'll hug you until hearts are unified,
Lips meeting cheeks, to yours, they just might slide.
I'll kiss all the way through the night,
Until morning shines brightly, love in its light.

You'll be the princess of everything, and I your medieval knight,
Then I'd drive you home, make pancakes, and tuck you in tight.
Play a playlist of classical violin,
Laying beside you, quiet but my heart singing.

About how you beautify every single thing,
In this serene moment, my heart takes wing.

Cherishing your love, as it gracefully sails.
Witnessing your beauty as it steadily trails,
Each day with you, life's story never pales.

That initial feeling, a sweet crush's blush,
Falling for your smile, a radiant rush.
Countless moments shared, a significant plush,
Our love story, a tale that's far from hush.

From then till now, and the much that's to come,
Never enough, our love continues to hum.
With accelerations and masses, like orbits that thrum,
Under starry carpets, our love's kingdom.

Escape to your eyes, life's transient pass,
In your mysterious world, time's hourglass.
Dance to slow jazz, let the memories amass,
Live, love, laugh, in each other's grasp.

Now incomplete alone, you're my other half,
Our love symphony, an unending riff and staff.

"My Old Man"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
From my first high five to teaching me to drive,
You've been by my side, my guide through life.
Always had my back, in joy and in strife,
From the smallest decisions to choosing a wife.

You tied my ties, a constant in two decades of time,
Without you, I wouldn't know how to climb.
Standing tall, strong, and wise,
Surviving life's storms and highs.

Appreciating every sacrifice, every piece of advice,
You know better, your wisdom, my priceless device.
Even if you repeat, I hear it once or twice,
Grateful for your reasoning, always precise.

Teaching that mistakes are a pathway to speak up loud,
Heads held high, you made us proud.
Best father without a doubt,
Being there when times were hard, a constant guard.

Thank you for the credit card and bedtime stories,
Playing in the snow, sharing glories.
UNO games and lessons on how to glow,
Keeping up when things moved slow.

Letting me be the star in my one-man show,
Dad, I love you more than you know.

"After Midnight"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Love falls after midnight's descent,
On the range of my heart, its event.
She won't escape my heart's satellite,
Chatting, talking, living, every transmitted byte.
Candlelight's charm now takes a backseat,
Staying up late, a new love feat.
Texting, sending emotions, mobiles aglow,
Bright rooms with laptops, love's soft glow.
Laying on beds or desks upright,
Being together, such a delight.

After midnight, love flames ignite,
Lovers side by side, the fun takes flight.
Interrupting sleep, it overrides,
Love, an ocean with moonlit tides.
The night has its ups and downs,
A notification lifts your ceiling, opens skies.
A late reply keeps you with sleepy eyes.
A text, a twice-read delight,
Or another, cold as ice.
Tears and smiles, from close to miles,
Love's journey spans varied styles.

"Between Lines"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I need you to read between my lines,
In a few steps, cover what could be covered in miles.
I'm sure you'll get it when everything aligns,
But it's not cool making lemonade out of limes.

That's the norm; sometimes you need to go pro,
If this poem didn't work, perhaps vines I'll throw.
Everything rhymes, it's going super awesome,
Let's open up some minds and free them from the blossom.

Around you, I figure there's more to my laughs and smiles,
Life hides other sides, taking you by surprise in its styles.
You bring blue open skies beneath my ceiling tiles,
Love the talks and sarcasm, everything between and within.

Fun is different with you, a twist or a spin,
Smart and funny, you're a perfect ten.
If life was a guitar, you'd be my favorite string,
Strummed, your resonance brings peacefulness.

When it stops, I actually kind of miss,
The melody that's filled with bliss.

"Erasing All My Griefs"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Griefs dissipate with her smile and gentle talk,
Clearing my heart, as if sadness were shallow chalk.
Her words, unbidden, pierce straight to the core,
No need for permission, no need to implore.

Heaven defined, in her presence around the clock,
Witnessing her charm, time ticking, tock by tock.
Her love, a pure essence, unmatched in its flow,
A love doctor's diagnosis, an eternal glow.

A love that mirrors the legendary oak,
From a seed, it grows, a testament bespoke.
Witnessing its vastness, a stunning shock,
She's the one I can't replace, the key to the lock.

Traversed the Earth, yet she's not from this space,
Heavenly origins, an otherworldly embrace.
In a few months, a place we'll call our own,
Kisses frequent, as our love has grown.

"She"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She makes me laugh my heart out.
She may hide it, but I know for sure that she’s an angel, no doubt.
Like, she makes you wonder why there is a logout.
Why would you choose not to stay around?
She’s adorable and endearing like a white fluffy cloud.
Sounds better than any violin was ever bowed.
Exceeding my brilliance when I code.
As spectacular as the most sophisticated crystal of ice, snowed.
Brighter than the brightest star that ever glowed.
One of a kind around the globe.
Meeting her was the best coincidence ever.
Sweet, pretty, and clever.
Her name should be the unit where beauty is measured.
The scale would go from zero to her name.
All the other girls would be like, micro, nano, and pico on her scale.

"Chocolate"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I love you more than chocolate's sweet delight,
Missing your smile exceeds what I can bear in the night.
Wishing your year ahead is truly great,
Happy Birthday from this distant state.

Dedicating all the twinkling, beautiful things,
To you, the joy and happiness they bring.
Keep being crazy, don't let sanity rule,
Immaturity and craziness, are sometimes, life's true fuel.

Little things matter, often the deepest cure,
Thank you for everything, your presence so pure.
My poetry skills may be poor,
But the love in my heart, forever and more.

"Those Nights"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
The nights evolving to the days I see you, are unique,
It's like tomorrow I am going to heaven, but tonight I still get to have a peek.
But a glance of your paradise is enough to push the pointer of my excitement bar to the peak,
Excitement mixed with happiness, and other awesome feelings currently kicking in as I speak.
I recall all our beautiful memories, and remember your fantastic smiling technique,
I miss you like it's been a hundred years although it's been less than a week.
But all the missing is replaced with joy on that particular night,
It's like my heart knows it's meeting your tomorrow, and follows a different guide.
It knows in several hours, it will be by your side,
I am drowning in my great gladness feeling, it's filling the whole worldwide.
I am sure you can listen to it in my voice, these feelings I cannot just hide,
My heart is flying, I really wonder what will it do on the night before the day you get dressed to be my bride.
I really should go pack my bag now and head to bed, or else I may just miss my ride.

"Beautiful Fantasy"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
A beautiful fantasy, now my reality,
Brightest star in my galaxy, your majesty.
Hold on with Jupiter's gravity,
Love me in sanity and insanity.

Loving you with my heart's full capacity,
Adoring each part of your anatomy.
Ask anything, gladly done happily,
In a few months, our love turns to a family.

You'll be all mine, cuddling all the time,
Chilling on a beach, sipping ice-cold lime.
My lady, treated so fine,
Together on cloud nine, our love to climb.

"One to Thousand"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I owe you a myriad of laughter for each teardrop shed,
Embracing you tightly, erasing fear's thread.
Never intended to evoke tears, my dear,
A fool, I neglected the flower, held too cavalier.
Especially blooms precious and exceedingly rare,
Let any threat approach, let them dare.
For I'll vigilantly guard you, always be there,
Immersing you in love, pervasive and fair.
Anticipating the kiss upon your lips, fingers through your hair,
Enveloped in an embrace that lingers in night's air.
Observing you, composing a melodic song,
An ode to love that renders me strong.
In separation, life falters and seems askew,
Beside your heart, my homeland, my true view.
Where I belong, where love thrives strong,
A ballad of us, an eternal, harmonious song.

"Everything About You"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Everything about you charms me so much,
Flying to the stars when our eyes meet, a magical touch.
Enchanting eyes hold a spellbinding allure,
Cheeks sweeter than blueberry pies, an angelic tour.

Must have fallen from paradise, an angel on earth,
Your smile, a tropical fruit of immeasurable worth.
Lips adorably cute, hypnotized, pursuing around the globe,
So lucky you're mine, an angel's love in vibrant strobe.

Heaven is seeing you every single time,
Beside me during the climb, till the end of the line.
Love deeply rooted like a chromosomal theme,
Your presence, my beloved home, a lifelong dream.

Heart dances salsa when I hear you on the phone,
In love with your voice, every monotone.
In love with the most beautiful girl,
You, my precious, precious pearl.

"Awaiting the Kiss"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I whispered promises of a kiss so tender,
To touch her cheeks, gaze into her eyes, emotions surrender.
Her lips, the elixir to my burning soul's ember,
A kiss, where a new star is born, our love will render.

In the realm of kisses, where magic does dwell,
Supernatural spells, like tales lovers tell.
Dreaming of this kiss since the moment I fell,
A taste, strawberry or chocolate, I cannot foretell.

Her lips, sweeter than a sugar frosted date,
Anticipating the moment, don't want to be late.
Love, passion, affection, in the kiss amalgamate,
When I kiss her, I'll navigate a celestial fate.

I bet when our lips meet, I'll lose my way,
Dizzy, unable to walk straight, love's display.
Celebrating the union, all parts of me in a ballet,
Kissing her, a symphony, an enchanting ballet.

Living together, nights of hugs so late,
Drawing kisses on her lips, a delicate slate.
Under the night sky, stars we create,
Our first kiss, a memory we'll forever celebrate.

For my girl, the prettiest angel ever made,
Every kiss a testament to the love we've laid.

Wavey Wave
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I emit infinite waves of affection, obviously, towards you, they are directed,
When you slept to the sound of my voice, I adorably melted.
Your heart is where my heart wished to be nested,
Missing you hurts from the heart to head.

Boring days, I just wish if I can fly back and be with you instead,
But still, a memory of you enlightens my day even if it went by on my bed.
Being with you is the best that my life can get,
Every moment with you, I'll never forget.

"Chaos Of Boredom"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Wishing the moon would explode, end the day.
Feeling grumpy and low, a mood astray,
The love of my life is near, yet I can't convey.

Stuck and unfair, unable to reach,
To express my love, lessons life teaches.
Nothing else interests, for what else to care,
All energy spent, kisses taken in the air.

Now, just sitting, reading a book,
Interesting to me, but to her, it may look
Dull, my patience overflowing,
Can't take it, the longing keeps growing.

Here for you, not everyone in view,
Sick of everything, craving some amour.
Missing hugs, yearning for a tour,
Time moves slow, the distance I abhor.

I can't reach you, high while I'm low,
Only touching you makes my heart's glow.
Marry me, be mine to the end of time,
Never leaving you, a promise, love sublime.

"Brand New"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Sometimes, I feel like I'm running out of words,
Millions of sentences, nouns, and verbs.
Metaphors for flowers and birds,
Engineering knowledge, bits, and servers.

Topics ranging from likes to nerve-wracking curves,
Poems about books, songs, from big firms.
When inspiration strikes, I write on my terms,
Everything getting what it deserves.

Then came you,
And I discovered my best words anew.
Hidden in my heart, waiting for a cue,
Only you can bring them into view.

When it's you, my heart takes control of my pen,
Close my eyes, count to ten.
And there it goes, a poem, brand new,
Crafted from the depths of my feelings for you.

"Easy To Dream About"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
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,
You're 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.

The cutest young lady, I have ever seen.
If angels had a kingdom, she would be the queen.
Getting prettier every single second, she has a unique beauty gene.
At first sight, you’ll think how did she become so charming at just seventeen.
You’ll wish you were immortal like the wolverine.
Because you’ll never get enough, looking at her is addictive like nicotine.
Your heart starts beating so hard, because of adrenaline.
You wonder if she's an angel, or a girl or a sweet soul in between.
Nothing on her is from real life, she has to be out of a fiction or a movie screen.
Just so natural and true like the tree’s green.
She has the blushing of a rose.
A rose of paradise I suppose.
A rose that glows.
Making all the other flowers jealous and try to copy her pose.
And swing in any way she goes.
And anything down around her, with colors and life, she would impose.
Fabulous like the crystal of ice when it snows.
Just the princess of everything.

"Dreams"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
All lights extinguished, I lie in bed,
Gorgeous feelings in my heart and head.
The day's energy fueled by love we've said,
Reaching my brain's stem, into REM, I'm led.

Into my unconscious mind, a swim, a flow,
Following the stream, thoughts gather and grow.
Building a background theme, as my soul paints the dream,
Pictures of you emerge, a surreal and vibrant scene.

It begins; I'm seated, playing my guitar,
You by my side, twinkling as a star.
A lucid dream, for you're actually far,
An ache lingers, a scar on my heart's radar.

Being away from you, it hurts, leaves a mark,
Yet, having you in dreams keeps me in the dark.
Deadly in love, unsure if my words are showing,
With you, always, in dreams or reality, continuously glowing.

"She"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She Is My Everything

She loves me like no woman ever loved a man,
She masters special techniques to make me feel loved.
She takes care of me and scrubs away the rust,
She always keeps me going, ain’t she the sweetest ******.

She is the closest person to me, the one I can always trust,
She loves me so much it would take you centuries to go through her love’s crust.
She tickles my heart every time she blushes,
She grows like a flower to a lover from the cutest crush.

She makes me a little kid, although I'm a guy who is so tough,
She is so sweet, I could drink of her love for ages but I’ll never get enough.
In her embrace, I find my refuge, my haven,
She is my everything, my eternal amen.

"Cannot Sleep"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I figured I miss you so much, totally cannot sleep,
My heart pumping that feeling, around so deep.
Surprised how my heart can be away and still beat,
Introducing "Cubic missing elite," a poetic feat.

The ultimate missing, nothing can compete,
Going numb, basic functions freeze, can't even tweet.
God, how did you become so sweet,
Hugging you, a heavenly treat.

Looking for a shooting star to grant me a wish,
Obviously, a kiss from the angel I truly miss.
