Ali Jarallah 2d

I showed you my secret garden
But you invited all
The gates I sealed for eons
For you opened, but now no more
It was never meant for more than two
For people always ruin and demolish all
And what's secret is sacred
It's treason to tell another soul
It was meant just for us two
And no more
And I know I didn't create it
Nor was it truly mine
But it was where I belonged
And now I search for a new garden
For me alone

Ali Jarallah 2d

Your Name

My sister gave birth today,
A beautiful little girl,
She said she named her after my grandmother
and it took me a moment to talk
For you and my grandmother share the name
And she may have had it first
I may have known her longer,
But for me that name will always mean you
And others may share the same name too
But they are mere holders of it
And it only belongs to you
That name never meant my her
It always meant you.
And now that you and I are no more
This name will haunt me for evermore

Ali Jarallah 6d

Knight of Night

There he stands at night
Knocking at doors, full of fear and fright
Some are for him closed
Some opened a little and then ignored
And some tolerate, lie and then bolt
So he keeps wandering at night
Full of terror, full of fright
He might end it, he might.
Yet at last
The beautiful heroine appears
With her doors open wide
Shinning more than her white horse
Braver than a Camelot Knight
She might be the one, she might
She might be the home, she might
Arms fully inviting, the smell is dazzling
Warmth and love and hope.
So he falls in those arms and enters the door.
Which closes on them forevermore.
She is the one, she is
She is the home, She Is.
