if your heart once skipped a beat,
That's a pulse missing,
No oxygenated blood flow,
Veins empty as heart left in vain,
Love have arrived.

We die a bit, skips a bit,
only to be reborn in a stranger's shoulders,
Love is the problem and the solution.

It creeps in like a seed,
For sure you will water it
With tear drop
from heart break to miscommunications.

The seed grows
The seed glows.

Silence
Silent the crowd
Followed by a round of applause
After the announce
Splendid.....
Greatest performance
Performed the audience
Reformed innocence
In my inner sense
Resurrection of my consciousness....
I remembered
The splendidness that made you a splendor was splendid
Splendid

As i have loved you                                                              ­                                             And as you have loved me                                                               ­                                            
 Fire and water strong elements we were...                                                          ­                                            
The moment   i glanced                                                          ­                                             
     To the waters of your eyes                                                             ­                                                
     My vision was clear                                                            ­                                                    The fear of being alone                                                            ­                                              
       Was no longer there                                                            ­                                                        Careless i was                                                              ­                                                                 ­    Fearless iam..                                                            ­                                                         What iam....                                                          ­                                                                 ­                                                                 ­                         
     WHEN IAM WITH YOU                                                              ­

Farewell
I was close and you were close as well
Time took its course and we separate
Farewell
To my friends and to the strangers i don't know but they know me
I wish you a great life that is full of joy and an ocean of happy moments
To my past i can't forget please don't forget me as i fell well into this well
I will farewell.
Sometimes you have to let it go for new thing to come and you wish it farewell.

I will not live in a conspiracy but if i need answers than I will just give me a beautifull kiss but i will die.....I will not say this twice & live in this mythical life
i cant think right now but im  a poet that puts words together just for the expression and meaning and situations that I have been in & poetry helps me from depression

Heavy is a mind
That is chained to its past

Heavy is a soul
That knows no way forward

Heavy is a spirit
That keeps running around in circles

Heavy are the eyes
That never stopped shedding tears

Heavy are the ears
That remain slaves to your voice

Heavy are the hands
That knows no other feeling but you

Heavy is the heart
That is struggling to forget everything

Heavy is a person
That drags himself down
To memories that will never
Become a reality

Heavy are his dreams
If these dreams can never be
And will only be
The source of his nightmares

Heavy are the arms
That helplessly linger for yours
Constantly waiting for you
Though never to come back

No more
Please?

I've had enough
Midnight writing

Thanks for reading!

Assumptions

You see my brown skin
And assume I'm a ****.

You see my hijab
And assume I'm a terrorist.

You see the smile on my face
And assume I'm happy.

You hear my words
And assume I'm okay.

But I am not.

Instead I am broken.
Yet I am also strong.

I am dark and rule-following.
I am peaceful and Muslim.

You assume based on
Society's POV.

If you smile
You must be happy.

Fox, CNN, any media
Tells you I am a terrorist.
So the names I get called
And the extra security checks
Are extremely upsetting.

The murders of black folk
Is either considered appropriate
Or it's "black on black crime"
So it's not taken seriously.

Who are you gonna believe
Me or those who don't know me?
Why me
Why call me your wife
If you're going to play with me
Why me
Why tell me all your
Feeling
It is not true
To being with
Why me
Why get back with
All you going to do
Is hurt me
I’m not your toys
To play with
I have feelings too
Just like anybody
