"Never Ending"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Eight years have passed, and she lingers in my mind,
Fate uncrossed, leaving some connections undefined.
We didn't make it then, a love confined,
Some aren't simply left behind.

Clear on the first date, good-hearted and kind,
Tried to turn love to hate, a futile bind.
Never succeeding, every attempt declined,
Believing she was rude, but in truth, so refined.

Tried to convince myself she never understood what I mean,
But she was sweet, the sweetest, as it has always been.
Adorable in hoodies, fall's serene,
Charming all in a wedding hall scene.

Her void remains, an everlasting emptiness,
An unbreakable connection, an emotional fortress.
Melt to her perfection, my heart's confession,
Re-firing her affection, a recurring obsession.

"My Old Music School"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
An email from my old music school arrived,
Missing another concert, not feeling revived.
Keening for the first piano, played from my core,
Can't be there anymore.

Missing the feeling of freshly printed scores,
Orchestra setting, violins left, cellos right, on the floor.
The conductor nodding, counting to four,
Memories, a timeline's reminder, galore.

Photo with my guitar on the wall so fine,
Part of that place, a memory that's mine.
My music imprinted, a bit of my soul's design,
Post-class sodas with lime.

Playing in summer, autumn, spring, and in the rain,
As if the clouds heard, playing Chopin, crying again.
Raindrops enjoying our music, on their transient lane,
Instruments, perhaps, missing me, a refrain.

Hard to leave, always a grief,
One more hour, to play there, a belief.
Being naive, it's far away, but my piano is near,
Playing all night, hoping the walls might hear.

"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.

"First Ring"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
After the first phone call, a smile graced my face,
No longer on Earth, but in outer space.
Her sweet, wondering voice took me to a perfect place,
Where nothing existed but her, in a blissful embrace.

Moving on to the third phase, she's adorable in every way,
Anticipating the next few dates, like a fairytale at play.
A symphony of her plays in my mind over and over,
Captivated by her, like a melody from a lover.

Talking to her is remarkably awesome, filled with humor,
Her heart-capturing laugh, a sound that I savor.
She seems sent to Earth on an angel's behalf,
Everything smooth, like midnight's jazz.

Melt into her voice like listening to a saxophone,
Can't wait to get home, grab the phone.
Once she says "hey," flown to the kingdom of happiness,
Not just there, but king on the throne, a realm of sweet bliss.

"Twenty-Six Weeks"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
It’s been twenty-six weeks,
Love ascending peaks.
Oreos and chocolates, sweet sacrifices made,
Vivid feelings, a love cascade.

Each second with you, joy magnified,
Prettier with time, in love, we confide.
Lucky to have you, my dear,
Dreams of you, always crystal clear.

Exponential love, not linear,
Lucky, fortunate, and sincere.
You, only you, my heart can hear,
Her name echoes, whether far or near.
64 · Feb 2019
"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.

"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.

"Proposal Poem"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I've fallen deep into this well,
Loving you with each and every cell.
A carnival of feelings, hard to tell,
Occupying my heart like an ocean in a seashell.

When I look at you, time becomes unclear,
A second stretches beyond what we hold dear.
Your eyes, a measureless pleasure near,
You're my precious treasure, crystal clear.

No happiness compares to us together,
Your smile, my forever tether.
A love letter would take a lifetime, however,
Our love, an eternal endeavor.

The angels of love, I believe they see,
Dancing when you say you love me.
Close your eyes, imagine the scene with glee,
On one knee, proposing by an old tree.

A ring gleams in the moonlight glow,
Asking, "Will you marry me?" in a soft echo.
In this love story, emotions freely flow,
Dancing together, letting our love grow.

"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.

"HVB"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Happy Valentine BIRTHDAY …
Coming to the world, when all lovers celebrate …
The universe had something to say, I guess …
“Love is your fate” …
My heart is ready to witness …
That you are an infinite spring of love …
You make my soul twinkle and my heart smile …

"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.

"Lovebirds"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
I can see you in his wondering brown eyes,
In the way he moves, breathes, and drives.
Girl, you cover his skies,
Your calls take him to paradise.
He looks adorably resistance-less to be precise,
With you, he is himself, he needs no disguise.
Talking to you, he laughs, smiles, and never fakes replies.
Even when he is around me, he’s somewhere else,
To be your perfect man, he excels.
Because, girl, you're his soul, life, and wealth,
You can always trust a guy who has books on his shelf.

And you, my friend, you exist in her smile,
Something in her eyes twinkles when she looks at you.
Saying by her heart, she's ready to step by your side a thousand mile.
Isn’t it cute when she’s jealous of me too?
I know if it were up to her, she would stick you to her by glue.
But seriously, how is it even possible to get jealous of me! I don’t have a clue.
You two are singing a love duet,
And you two sure have bet, Romeo and Juliet.
I am glad you guys met,
Can’t imagine you two with anyone instead.
Just perfect like Peanut Butter and Jam on bread …
So harmonic like when chords go in thirds …
And now I officially give you the title of 'my favorite lovebirds' …

"I Own The World"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In her eyes, I possess the world, a realm of indescribable wonder,
A million words fall short, as if joy from paradise I've plundered.
Her eyes, worthy of the world's cutest eyes award,
Each glance, an exploration of heaven, admiration soared.

Charming eyes that captivate, a devotion I wholeheartedly adored,
An involuntary gaze, a magnetic force, my heart implored.
Through her eyes, I delved into the depths of her soul,
An essence built on a sweet, loving core, a connection beyond control.

Yearning to whisk her away to an island, build a fort,
In her eyes, an irresistible allure, beckoning for more.
Helpless and weak, under the spell they cast,
Each second feels like a week, time stretching fast.

Her adorably beautiful cheek, a symphony with her lips,
A unique smile, an angelic harmony that tenderly grips.
Every look at her face, akin to listening to a solo harp,
A narration of her beauty, a tale with no starting mark.

Her lips, moving with grace and confidence profound,
Framing sweet words, an art in which she's renowned.
Intense concentration of beauty in every glance,
A million-dollar smile, crafted by the world's finest chance.

In her presence, nothing else exists, she's the sole,
Perfection embodied in every aspect, nothing less than whole.
63 · Feb 2019
"Tomorrow"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Tomorrow, come over, bring her closer,
Time, etch our names in your lovers' date folder.
Weather, as you grow colder, my heart remains warm,
A look in her eyes, a world on my shoulders I'd transform.

Brightly the sun will shine tomorrow,
In her presence, everything aligns, dispelling sorrow.
My heart dances, my soul takes flight, silence breaks,
A delight to witness, love's dynamite erupts, no heartaches.

Let the nation witness this love, exploding and grand,
I'd fly to the moon, repaint it pink from white sand.
Perhaps change the wavelength of light, a joyful feat,
Happy enough to do anything, everything, love's complete.

If winter is harsh, I'd turn it into a spring breeze,
My spirit dancing on the A string with such ease.
She's coming, bringing all things adorable,
Flowers bloom, birds soar high, their wings fluttering like a musical.

Packing her bag, she's on her way,
I'm ecstatic, joy causing my heart to sway.
Life couldn't be more ideal, a surreal feel,
Can't believe I'm seeing her for real.

Soon behind the wheel, we'll talk, laugh, maybe share a meal,
Around her, a love that's genuinely real.
Her angelic voice calling my name, a melody to die to hear,
Perhaps she'll say "I love you," a thousand amperes lighting up the atmosphere.

Clocks seem to halt when she's away, speed when she's near,
Wishing for a fairytale, to halt time, to keep her all mine, oh, dear.
Yet, in real life, can't keep her forever, I acknowledge,
Every moment since we met, a joy I savor and relish.

As beautiful as anyone can get, the best lover to hire,
Waiting on burning fire, fueled by love's desire.
63 · Dec 2018
"Everything Is About You"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
The universe dons stars like a celestial dress,
Yet, when it sees you, an envy it confess.
For you are gorgeous, a beauty untold,
Your eyes, pure magic, and kisses, a story to be unfold.

A million years of talk, yet imprecise,
Describing your lips, a poetic device.
When our skin meets, the magic your fingertips create,
A feeling indescribable, love's ultimate fate.

Crafted like a strawberry dipped in chocolate's array,
Glazed with honey, a creation in love's display.
You're my cute bunny, a blend of hot and funny,
In love with you, everything revolves around you, my honey.

"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.
62 · Feb 2019
"Left Behind"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
"What if I never find and I'm left behind?
Should I keep hoping for love?"
Lyrics from a favorite song, long ago, sung.
Found you, where my love truly belongs,
Several years it took, but hope remained strong.

No more "What ifs," doubts, all gone,
Our love, still young, with every breath, it's drawn.
Growing old with each lung-filled breath,
Wiser with each "I love you," a vow to outlast death.

Who said love makes us weak?
It renders us gentle, elegant, our words meek.
Describing our love in its second week,
Everything about it, uniquely mystique.

From the possibilities that made us meet,
To the sweetness in every heartbeat.
With you, everything feels so complete,
Honey, when you're around, love's journey is replete.
62 · Feb 2019
"I Love You"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Millions of poems written, feelings laid bare,
Love not always a necessity, if you're willing to hear.
Consider love a religion, not just a mere notion,
When your heart ignites, a fiery devotion.

Warming feelings pump through your blood,
A seed growing, emerging from the mud.
Soon, you're caught in a "Love Flood,"
Unable to sleep or think, emotions like a flood.

Flowers everywhere, stars turned pink,
Unless you say those three words, break the link.
Agree to love's terms, relax, don't sink,
Your new day of birth, speak, don't overthink.

Hesitant but not lazy, charmed by a lady,
Thinking about her daily, missing her like crazy.
Even sunny days seem a bit hazy,
She's a beautiful, pleasing Daisy.

Ready to tell her, burning inside,
Here's your chance, don't let it slide.
She's reading this now, emotions implied,
Last verse is yours, go ahead, confide.

"I Love You"

"I Love How"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I love how you make me feel,
I love how with you every laugh is real.
I love how you're soft like silk but still strong like steel,
I love how my heart to your presence always kneels.

I love how when you touch me, all that went wrong just heals,
I love how I always wish if you were here.
I love how your voice is the only sound I want to hear,
I love how I can reveal whatever is on my mind.

I love how you always tell me that I am kind,
I love how you blessed my life since you arrived.
I love that I know for sure that you will always be by my side,
I love that I know for sure you would come to my arms to hide.

I love that with you, I can live wide and wild,
I love that in nine months, you will be my beautiful bride.

"Obsessed"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
By you, I am utterly obsessed,
Until I see you again, my heart finds no rest.
Only when I touch you, it lays peacefully in my chest,
Gorgeous, you look, in whatever color you're dressed.

Always charming, always leaving me impressed,
Falling in love with you, by far the best.
When we're together, magically blessed,
Making you smile, a personal life quest.

Two lovebirds, assembling to fly high,
Soon reaching their nest in the sky.

"White Dress"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
It's beautiful waking up to you every morning,
Knowing your presence, a delight that keeps dawning.
Your voice, angelic and soothing,
Leaves me no choice but to deeply fall, love's sweet brewing.

Every call you make, a chance to adore,
Can't get enough, always needing more.
Now, you're my soul, my very core,
All I wish for, like nothing seen before.

If love is energy, you can despair and restore,
A heart, akin to a capacitor, can charge and explore.
Partially discharged by first love, it can adore,
My heart is ready, full of love to pour.

The love I hold for you, words can't express,
How much I long to see you in the white dress.
Perhaps love is one of the few things, words never enough,
Everything about you, I truly miss and love.

For the record, my heart has never felt so alive,
With you, a love that will eternally thrive.

"Held Her Hand"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Hand in hand, we soared to a magical land,
Love flourishing grand, like castles made of sand.
A moment so blissful, as if in paradise I stand,
Her radiance growing, in the palm of my hand.

Prettier with time, a truth now clear and grand,
An angel's touch, sweet as honey and hazel's strand.
Her soul fulfilled, a smile like mint and basil,
First touch, playful heartbeats, a dance so graceful.

Beats honoring her charm, stability unable,
Wishing to hold her hand, a connection unbreakable.
In moments when departure chimes,
A Valentine's kiss, a memory that rhymes.
60 · Dec 2018
"Missing Her"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
In my dark room, staring into the void,
Without her, a dying flower, unable to avoid.
Life's pause, only her eyes can hit resume,
Tears cascade, aching for her in the gloom.

Her eyes, her smile, cheeks, lips, and laugh,
Warmth and perfume, a memory to grasp.
My soul falters, survival alone a presumed doom,
In the night, a dark planet without its moon.

Adorable in every conceivable way,
Holding hands, attaching to my jacket, innocent play.
Tears as companions, surrendering to sleep soon,
Dreams of her, perhaps, a honeymoon.
60 · Feb 2019
"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.
60 · Dec 2018
"First Kiss"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
Feel it, my love, this celestial bliss,
Since the kiss, my soul's tethered to heavenly abyss.
If this feeling lingers, I'm content to reside,
Flying high, not grounded, emotions as my guide.

Spirit soaring, value beyond a billion pound,
My love, let's go to town, let joy abound.
Round and round, just us, no one around,
Our world, where even sound can't be found.

In your kiss, pleasures of the world unfold,
Let's run away, a house between the clouds, untold.
Living forever with you, no room for doubts,
Our haven, where love forever sprouts.

"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.

"One And Only"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
You're my one and only, the melody in my life's song,
Your soft utterance of "I love you," a sweet serenade I long.
Falling in love anew with your laughter, honeyed and sugary,
Every facet of you, irresistibly attractive, keeping my heart joyously active.

Spicing up my life, your love is the ultimate delight,
Darling, with you, every moment feels vibrant and right.
The care you shower and the smallest acts,
When I call you honey, it's not a mere act—it's stating facts.

I cherish what we share, the essence of romance,
Loving you, adoring your eyes with every entrancing glance.
Gratitude fills me for turning my life into heaven, for the chance,
Imagining a hillside retreat, where we lay in the grass and enhance.

Under the moon's gaze, conversing and relaxing with ease,
Music playing, we dance beneath a starry canopy, a moment to seize.
Yearning for more than bits transmitted by fiberglass,
Longing for the day when technology won't hold us in its grasp.

Missing you, gazing at your photo in my gallery,
I am an LED, and you're my vital battery.
Even in marriage, a future factory visit, I'll miss your company,
For now, let's focus on diets and counting every calorie.

Today, once again, I fell in love with you,
Yet, not a novelty, for the same magic occurred yesterday and the day before too.

"Heart, Soul and Mind"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Around you, the sun shines with radiant light,
A heart pure and cloud white.
In your presence, even the busiest cities sound quiet,
Falling for you every night, passion's flame alight.

Around you, all my passions passionately ignite,
Everything you say, in my eyes, is eternally right.
My gaze fixed, unable to look away from your sight,
Tonight, I'll dream of you, a dream so bright.

Without you, I see no light,
Unable to compose or write.
A shieldless knight in love's fight,
To reach you, I'd embark on a million flights.

For you, I'd fight the mightiest fight,
Even if it meant a dynamite's explosive light.
Everything about you, perfectly designed,
An angel as paradise's books have outlined.

To those blind to your grace, I don't mind,
For, darling, you possess my heart, soul, and mind.

"No Going Back"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
No more hearts, sweet loving hearts,
Maybe I should pull back my playing cards.
When it starts, it's a journey uncharted,
Having it from one side, walking alone through boulevards.

Once said, no going back, guards undone,
Fate in lover's hands, a tale begun.
Up high or tossed in the sand,
Three words going grand, heart's expanding.

Remember when hearts danced to the band,
Now cold as ice, can't understand.
Blood no longer pure, love's allure,
Only the lover can move, of that be sure.

Always love, a paradox so right,
Childish, then maturity in love's light.
Love is the poison, love is the cure,
A duality forever endured.

"On Her Ring"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
In that pink scarf, an adorable face,
Eyes twinkling like stars, a captivating embrace.
Cheeks blushing with the hue of Mars,
Music dances to her smile, the violin, drums, and guitars.

Beyond all beauty bars, she gracefully flies,
A smile, a crown on God's cutest chin lies.
Her touch reached me, to places unbeknown,
Softest skin, a sensation of love well-shown.

The luckiest man, carved on her ring,
My name echoes, a testament to the joy she brings.

"Maple Leaf"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Loving you is smooth, a maple leaf on a river's cruise,
With every glance at you, my heart still gently shivers.
Hugging you, a pleasure beyond measure,
And our kisses, treasures the universe would choose.

Your eyes, a mesmerizing dance; your smile, pure delight,
I adore your figure, graceful and so right.
The way you talk, the way you walk, our togetherness,
Feminine and clever, your essence, a symphony of finesse.

If happiness were a subject, you'd be a professor,
Your warmth, a love letter, an everlasting tether.
Soft cheeks like a feather, smiles controlling the weather,
For you, I'd forsake the world, our love an eternal confessor.

"Wifey Wife"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the embrace of a beautiful morning, birds tweet, coffee in my cherished mug,
Thoughts of you linger, an addiction, like a potent drug.
Dreams of a hug stir, contemplating the feel, a sensation snug,
Love for you, a deep excavation in my heart, a sentiment dug.

Nightfall finds me reading, beside my red rug,
A continuous yearning, pondering the prospect of that hug.
Our hearts drawing near when you're within my arms,
A certainty that the experience will be captivating, charming in its charms.

I surrender to the game, revealing all my cards,
In your closeness, a potency to split the stars.
Flying within yards, a prelude to what awaits,
A gaze into your eyes, revealing artistry that elates.

Adorability, a fact as certain as the sky is blue,
Love for you, pure and true.
When our hearts finally align in a hug's embrace,
A commencement of something new, a beautiful grace.

Like the beginning in 8 ball, hitting the cue,
A hug, a customized heaven for two.
A highway to paradise, envisioning more than a few,
Beyond imagination, a realm where clues are few.

May the experience be mutual, as heavenly for you,
Hugging an angel, so lovely and graceful, too.
You, embracing just a guy beneath the sky,
Nothing as special or endearing, oh, how time would fly.

I wonder if cheeks would blush, if shyness would apply,
In the moment I finally hug you, staying nearby.
No more leaving, no more saying goodbye,
A commitment for life, as you become my wife.

"The Days"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the days I loved you, life turned great,
Grateful to fate, for our union, worth the wait.
Never too early, never too late,
A new state, turning the pages of our fate.

Realigning my powers to keep your smile,
Loving you differently, adding my own style.
Missing walks by your side, the love you provide,
Big time, ocean-wide, my feelings for you reside.

I'll love you as long as the moon graces the night,
Beyond time's constraints, in every domain's light.
In frequency and time, yes, call me insane,
Loving you, an exquisite form of beautiful pain.

Our meeting, a miraculous affair,
A journey with friends, the foundation laid bare.
A competition's call, a decision to go,
Little did I know, it led to you, a love to grow.

Friends made, a brother found,
Texting, flying home, Cairo's charm all around.
Days before I left, walking alone,
A diamond amid stones, a love to be known.

On Google Chrome, through social networks' look,
To find the girl, like a dream from a book.
Did I fall for you at the first look?
Or was innocence my guide, a clueless outlook?

Questions matter not, for now, I have you,
Started with a hi, a smile, a laugh, brand new.
Selfies, notes on a music staff,
You're everything I've always wanted, a love beyond half.

Smooth as jazz, a melody in time,
A matter of time until you're wholly mine.

"You Lost Me"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
You lost me, love entwined with potential,
Each fragment essential, each sentiment substantial.
Understanding only surfaces when hearts are good,
Repetition of lies, a choice misunderstood.

Apologies fall short, love became my truth,
In matters of the heart, we don't dictate our proof.
Yet, the pain is real, a wound that stings,
Choosing differently, the hurt still clings.

You should have chosen me, each time,
A recurring refrain, a poignant rhyme.
Every heartbeat echoed the same plea,
Yet, the choice was different, not meant to be.

"Twenty Shades Of Rose"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
She was beautifully dressed in twenty shades of rose,
Always stunning, no matter the color of the cloth she chose.
Glamorous in every way, striking poses with grace,
A beauteous shock, I stood there, totally embraced.

Perfection like winter flakes descending from heavenly snows,
First sight, a knowing that wherever she goes, I'd follow, no one opposes.
Even if she flew between galaxies and I had to transpose,
Her smile, an eternal inspiration, forever in my heart it composes.

Eyes filled with love, a radiant, glowing light,
Seeing her eyes, surrendering was only right.
Astonishingly perfect, free of any flaws,
Defining beauty standards, she abides by the winsome laws.

Dancing together, wishing to pause the world in its cause,
Covered in joy, from head to toes, a happiness overdose.
Can't believe I'm the one she chose,
Sweeter than a concentrated solution of cellulose.

Amidst the crowd, her smile, the focus of my gaze,
Not attempting to describe it, for words would be a maze.
I want to be next to her in every life phase,
Growing old together, after a loving, playful life daze.

She keeps me warm, enlightens my life like winter fire,
Filling my heart with every cherished desire.
Our union, a smoothly blended couple,
Wishing to be by her side now, ready to cuddle.

Taken to heaven and back, each kiss that night,
Life seems right when holding her tight.

"The City"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I fell for the girl, and I fell for the city,
How not to love the place where she aged so pretty?
The streets witnessed her first steps, a dance of grace,
Where alphabets were learned, and childhood embraced.

Clouds, shielding her from the sun's golden ray,
Holding memories of her earliest, carefree play.
The air, a companion to her every breath,
Schools where friendships blossomed, a foundation set.

Parks where she first soared on a swing's delight,
The breeze, a gentle caress from the Nile's might.
I adore the city that cradled her tender smile,
A haven of joy, a space where dreams compile.
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
When she whispers "my love," I ascend to a blessed isle,
Where trees, crafted from diamonds, sway with a golden smile.
Sand, a powder of gold, beneath clouds of marshmallow,
Rivers of butter flow, and colorful flowers in a magical show.

Populated solely by angels, it's there we scribe our love's first page,
A kiss in that realm, a timeless embrace.
With each endearment, a "darling" that she utters,
Life transforms into a charming movie, where my heart flutters.

Every moment echoes the first, a sensation enthralling,
A promise to keep you safe, my devotion endlessly sprawling.
In your presence, peace of mind and a heart so fruitful,
Heaven finds a home in our house, love beyond any dispute.

No doubts accompany my love; it stands steadfast,
Your words, a melody, make my heart bounce so vast.
With each utterance of my name, love rekindles,
Grateful for the symphony, where your love continually twinkles.

For unveiling the true cadence of love, I extend my thanks,
Above the clouds, your love elevates me in joyful ranks.
A desire to traverse the world's towns hand in hand,
Loving you, my commitment, spans across all God's lands.

Our love, a journey of highs, devoid of any downs,
In the realm of love, every small gesture, each word resounds.
Forever I pledge, keeping vows unfurled,
Age and time powerless to alter the ruling of your love, my world.

More profound than love songs ever sung,
With you, my life beautifully begun.

"Never Ever"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
I'd never hurt you, dear, please don't misconstrue,
I'd rather cease to exist, than bring pain to you.
Never, honey, let go of those thoughts so dread,
Talking to you, a treasure, one minute on our bed.

You're the only one I need, sweet and complete,
My lovely wife, by my side, a love that's concrete.
To love you hard, to love you deep,
Growing our love seed, a promise to keep.

Let it ascend to the moon, perhaps even more,
Honey, it's me, and I love you, truly and adore.

"The Day"
Islam Marzouk Dec 2018
The feeling from yesterday echoes on my keyboard,
Your eyes, heaven's welcome, a melody adored.
Alive in every chord, a higher scale explored,
Joyful memories, each word a cherished sword.

In life's war, your love, my sacred sord,
I'll fight, make you the happiest, my accord.
If I could, I'd buy you the world,
Anticipating our wedding, love unfurled.

An end to distance, a spectacular start,
Experiencing life, a journey to impart.
For our honeymoon, we'll fly to the east,
Every day, a feast, love's eternal feast.

"Lover"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
In the realm of love, I find my power,
Helpless yet strong, soft as the finest flower.
Flexible as rubber, unveiling layer after layer,
A lover's creativity, a canvas filled with a new color.

Impossible feats become the norm,
Turning winter to summer, love takes the warm.
Heroic endeavors, like a mountain reborn,
Mastering the pace, beats in love's grand form.

In the coldest nights, a warming fire,
A man you can count on, one to never tire.
Swearing honesty, no deceit to conspire,
You're a princess, my heart's sole desire.

Delicate as a royal guest, a love so true,
Your happiness, my relentless pursuit.
A lovebird's nest, a haven built for two,
All love letters, my heart addressed to you.

I love you as the sun loves the west,
A symphony of love, an eternal quest.

"I made her cry"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I've caused my princess to shed a tear,
For each one, a star from the night's sky I'll clear.
Regret consumes me, disturbing her eye so clear,
I'm sorry for seeming like a different guy, my dear.

I apologize if I brought a chill, love's taste gone dry,
If presented a choice, my life or your tears, I'd rather die.
One thing certain, your love delves into me, nuclei deep,
You're my soul, loving you, the truth I proudly keep.

"Silence"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
Silence,
You may want to talk more or less,
And leave me all day to play the guess.
Yeah, sometimes I am close and other times it's a big mess,
But 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,
I love when I tease you by throwing on random things.
Young and alive like violins,
Although sometimes you make my head spin,
Being naughtier than any princess ever been.
But unfortunately, I can read you like you were my twin,
LOL but teasing is always fun, whether you or I decided to begin.
Sometimes I wish you were here, to throw you with a pen,
Although I can imagine what you will do then.
But I would still do it again,
Because I am the strong one in this friendship and I’ll always win.
So girl, do not even think about leaving, and ending my spring.

"On Your Lips"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
On your lips, a crystal seed of our love, forever to shine,
My kiss dissolves the passion that makes you mine.
A reminder of all the things that make you super fine,
Adorable as ever, like aged red wine.

Looking into your eyes, a silver gate to the stars,
A color reminiscent of the planet Mars.
A single glance, healing from the root, no need for scars,
Your lips, the craving that my heart truly harbors.

I'm sorry for the anticipation, the way I'm behaving,
But your lips are what I am genuinely craving.
Unable to define it, but I know it will be amazing,
Together we'll explore, after all this waiting.

Across various types of kisses, and inventing our own,
I'll kiss you always, in every occasion we've known.
Those seconds, the best of my life that is spent,
You, my love, my soul, my mind, my best friend.

"Just The Way They Are"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I love your lips just the way they are,
Honey, you will always be my shining star.
You are the only one I will ever sing to with my guitar,
Babe, your lips are gorgeously far above the beauty bar.

When they kiss me, they bring paradise into the car,
I didn’t get a taste yet, but I have the feeling that says they come from a honey jar.
Don’t let anything that says different come into your head,
I’ll kiss your lovely lips every night, good night, and tuck you in bed.

Today I can’t get them, I’ll just fantasize about kissing them instead.

"Forces"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
With forces in the stars above and the mighty power of love,
All my heart does is miss you, a feeling words can't fully speak of.
Bigger than my words can discuss, this yearning has no choice,
Yet, in the echo of your voice, I find a reason to rejoice.

Every phone call becomes a source of joy, a child with new toys,
Missing you, a demand felt deeply, a sentiment that alloys.
No choice in the matter, it's a feeling that must be dealt,
Without you, my universe tilts, a void in my heart unfelt.

Around you, a space filled, a unique magic spell,
Under the enchantment of your eyes, emotions swell.

"Love Birds"
Islam Marzouk Feb 2019
I can see you in his wondering brown eyes,
In the way he moves, breathes, and drives.
Girl, you cover his skies,
Your calls take him to paradise.
He looks adorably resistance-less, to be precise,
With you, he is him, he needs no disguise.
Talking to you, he laughs, smiles, and never fakes replies.
Even when he's around me, he's somewhere else,
To be your perfect man, he excels.
Because, girl, you're his soul, life, and wealth,
You can always trust a guy who has books on his shelf.

And you, my friend, you exist in her smile,
Something in her eyes twinkles when she looks at you.
Saying by her heart, she's ready to step by your side a thousand miles.
Isn’t it cute when she’s jealous of me too?
I know if it was up to her, she would stick you to her by glue.
But seriously, how is it even possible to get jealous of me! I don’t have a clue.

You two are singing a love duet,
And you two sure have bet, Romeo and Juliet.
I am glad you guys met,
Can’t imagine you two with anyone instead.
Just perfect like Peanut Butter and Jam on bread,
So harmonic like when chords go in thirds.
And now I officially give you the title of 'my favorite lovebirds'.

— The End —
