This Old Heart of Mine - Hello Poetry

It’s not easy when I was five
It’s not easy to grasp everything
Learning these new ‘signs’
So others would empathize
Demoralized only to be scrutinized
Wondering why they always laughed
I never knew how it sounds like
But it hurts me deep inside

It’s not easy when I was ten
They wrote on the board
How I always pretend
I keep smiling despite everything
I did pretend
Pretending tomorrow
Everything will end

It’s not easy when I was fifteen
Almost everyone doesn't comprehend
These hands I use to eat & speak
I can read their lips saying,
"FREAK, FREAK, FREAK!!!"
But this time I didn't pretend
Mama always told me before she left
"Your voice is louder than the rest!"

It’s easier now that I’m twenty
It actually gets better if I believe
I found true friends along the way
They get furious if I get played
Diminishing negative thoughts to dust
I know now life has its eminence
There are more others like me

What my mama meant before she left
Help those who are in need
'Especially to those who are—'
Special like me.

(I didnt expect it to get featured as the daily poem! I'm so happy I get to share this message with everyone. A better understanding to these gifted individuals:) And if u have a friend who's deaf or learning ASL. Let them read this:)
And once again. Thank you so much To everyone who liked and comment!)
Give your love.
Even if you're the one being received.
I just had to write about this.
And i don't see it as a disability,
I see it as a gift.
(Dedicated to this young girl i saw in the train helping a guy in a wheelchair. She was showing directions! I stood there appalled in awe)
P.S: I need a suggestion whether to name this title 'Gift' or 'Hand Signs'??
I think both stood out.
Comment below.
And I also would like you guys to check out this website.
If you buy their headphones you would be giving hearing aids for the less fortunate.

And I'm not sponsored to do this. I just want to make a change and help to raise awareness:)
If you can help them, please do.:)

Poetic T

Piano Guys

Black*
and
White
Steps
Fingers glide,
My heart
Beats with each
Key that is met,
Such beauty from
Keys,
Fingers,
Echo,
Of the music
That radiates though
My fibre,
Pulling at my emotional
Felling's,
Eyes,
Weep,
At this music of *heaven
Each moment
Is a place I'm taken elsewhere
Keys are but a means
To take me to that
Place where I wish to stay
For a while
Keys are the music
That unlocks my heart..

The Beast Sleeps

You've rattled my cage
You'd better get out of the way
You've woken up the beast in me.

Sleeping soundly
for so many years,
the vultures
sat by
its side
figuring after that last breath
no other is going to be sighed.

I had paid the mason
made promises to the poet
they were working on its headstone
writing out its epitaph
all in very serious tones.

But
your vacuum eyes saw too close
your breath crept on to mine
your words spun fantasies
your hands shook me awake.

The beast's eyes popped open
this is where *** and love
love and ***
become confused
because
the beast
can't say
and
he can't see
and
doesn't remember what was written
on his epitaph.

"Don't feed or tease
or rattle the cage
better to let him sleep
that way,
that way
everything,
everything
will remain the same. "

burn

there is a slow burn that
irritates from within

my only relief is drinking
from the living water
that quenches my thirst

100 Smiles

*Do you know the meaning of smile sir?
Why does sometimes dew seem as pearl?

As I invented the meaning of
a single smile of yours

It grew love
I became love sick
and you turned the poetry
of the beloved poet

The peacock was dancing
and the rain was raining
over thirsty barren field
born my son of the sun

My first sunflower of ode
Bloomed in the fairyland
rest ninety nine smiles are
Awaiting to open their petals

Ah, my love, ah my spring-
Still, you are untouched
as the sky in mystery of my mind

Now, I turn to discover the daily life
like the Columbus
in too many ways
##
@ Musfiq us shaleheen

Your smile, my first Love, first baby, first ode rest 99 smiles are still untouched and i am moving with the daily life...........

Thirsty Planet!

~~
As we see the planet earth is embedded
within the solar system
though the other planets are his brother
moon is his lover
and the sun is his father
but his Atlantic still very thirsty,
not ever be satisfied
even today he seems insufficient light

Yesterday he wanted some water from Venus
but tonight he wishes to borrow light from moon
yet the sun is still emitting his light for his son,
even though the planet does not know
his bro Venus has not a single drop of water
and his dear moon has no light at all
~~
@ Musfiq us shaleheen

Sometime we feel we need more though we have all. this thirst never meet our satisfaction though we need or not .............

r

horse trading on the blue mesa

that trendy ******(e) addiction
becomes you- and your fiction

goes well with the pale
-skinned thin western booted
blue-eyed shooter
riding sidesaddle
on your scooter

does she kiss like me
and bring you coffee?

i could lay you both down
in the in-betweens
and make heaven-

til hell is heavy as a monday
track day in albuquerque
while she sells your jewelry
in sante fe where it's trendy

-i'll be waiting
on the blue mesa.

destined

I hear again the sound
of the sea
the water touching my toes

I feel once more
Those arms
that carry me while I am shouting
the same words-

        My love,
        no matter what...
        I love you forever!

We dance again
to the music of the rain
and play like children
like what we had been seeing
in our dreams before

I am yours
you are mine
We are destined to be one
forever

I love you

#love #i #you #forever #destiny #destined

This House Ain't a Home

I just wanna go home
But I don't know where *home is
Is it that place where I have a bed?
Where I have my TV hooked up,
and I pay the rent?
Where the bills are in my name,
and my kids have their own room?
Where I walk outside and wave to my neighbors while I check the mail?
Cause that doesn't feel like home,
It's not the place that I wanna go,
It's not where I feel loved, it's not where I can be held when slowly drift off to sleep.
It's not the place I imagine in my dreams.
Home is not simply a place or bed to rest my weary head
It should be warmth, comfort and safety
A place filled with love for me and my family
That place where I have a bed to sleep and I call my nightmares dreams
It's just a house to keep my family living safely
It's not where I wanna go
*I wanna go home

Eagle

i
am
eagle
i am
the
one who
was created to breathe the atmosphere
of the angels and ride the storm clouds like
they were white horses, yes, i was made to catch
rainbows in my sharp talons, i who am strong will
catch your fall.       You who are weak          will trust me
for i want                nothing more than             to be your
Savior.                              I will hide you                              under
my                                     wings. You will                                    be
mine and i
will never
leave you nor
forsake you. Ever.
World without end

Edgar Allan Poe

Take This Kiss Upon THE Brow!
AND IN Parting From YOU NOW
Thus Much LET ME Avow-
YOU ARE NOT Wrong, WHO Dream
That MY Days Have Been A Dream
YET IF Hope HAS Flown Away
IN A Night OR IN A DAY
IN A Vision OR IN None
IS IT Therefore THE Less Gone?
ALL That WE SEE OR Seem
IS BUT A Dream Within A Dream.

I Stand Amid THE Roar
OF A Surf Tormented Shore
AND I Hold Within MY Hand
Grains OF THE Golden Sand
HOW FEW! YET They Creep
Through MY Fingers TO THE Deep
While I Weep- While I Weep
O Goodness! CAN I NOT Grasp
Them With A Tighter Clasp
O Goodness! CAN I NOT Save
ONE From THE Pitiless Wave?
IS ALL That WE SEE OR Seem
A Dream Within A Dream?

Written BY : Edgar Allan POE

this is for all us POE LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!You know who you are!!!!
