To all the churches
To all the picketers
To all the bureaucrats
To all the
Sinners
Don’t you know?

God is kindness.
That’s all.

You laugh
Angels weep out of jealousy
Devils have no single conspiracy
Demons dancing in harmony
Men hearts go broken with no remedy
Women eyes tearing continuously
Violins break out of envy terribly
Composers have no more creativity
Music plays with no melody
Silence starts listening joyfully
Happiness laughters left in agony
Beautiful words describe nothing but misery
Tulip flowers become colorless shamefully
Believers lose their faith immediately
Infidels drop their convictions instantly
Hearts start beating rapidly
Lungs oxygenating quickly
Living ones laying listening carefully
The dead come back miraculously

--Hisham Alshaikh

OPEN YOUR HEART

TO UNLOCK YOUR START

OPEN YOUR EYES

TO UNLOCK WHATS IN THE SKIES

OPEN YOUR EARS

TO UNLOCK LIFES SPHERES

OPEN YOUR ARMS

TO UNLOCK LIFES CHARMS

OPEN YOUR SOUL

TO GET YOUR LIFE ON A ROLL

HE'S SPEAKING IF YOU LISTEN
HE'S LISTENING IF YOUR SPEAKING
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE CHRISTIAN
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A KING

HE'S THERE IF YOU WANT HIM
HE'S THERE IF YOU CAN CARE
YOU DON'T NEED TO GO TO A GYM
YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY A PRAYER

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BE THANKFUL
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHARE
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE ANGEL
TO PUT AN END TO YOUR NIGHTMARE

I stand here alone
With a head full of voices
Perfect imbalance

I wrote a poem when I died...
Another at my birth.
A brand-new sonnet when I cried.
And again when there was mirth.

A song for my confession...
A story for my pain...
A painting for depression...
And nursery rhymes for rain.

My creations live inside my heart.
I keep them there in shame.
Yet you looked around and saw my art,
And smiled all the same.

I know my texts don't excite you anymore,
But you are polite enough to reply it anyway
And if I call you, you'll receive it too
But I know you cringe when you hear my voice
Just for the night , you needed me
Just for that one night
The night's already over
But I m not over you yet

I remember everything, so clearly in my head
How beautifully you sang, & I sang along with you
How you made me laugh, laugh & laugh so hard
How you held my hands & we tried to dance
How your lips blew life to my cold and dry spirit
How the butterflies in my stomach fluttered
How my cheeks turned crimson and I looked away
But you kept on staring at me
Like  you wanted to fall in love...

I did not undress my body that night,
I undressed my soul
I put it right in front you
Just in its purest form
I let you see me,
See all my imperfections
I told you all my fears,
The secrets I hid inside,
I thought this is it,
This is what I had been looking for,
My soul was happy
And thought it had found "THE ONE"

Little did I know, it was only for the night
Just for that one night
So tell me who do I blame?
Blame you for setting up my hopes high
Or blame me for believing the truth like lie
Or should I just blame the night?
The night for lasting just awhile.......
