a cloudless night, freed from stars or constellations in the way
inciting and inviting me to lay my hands down
upon my lurching, I could count every shade of grey
because I am freed and in my freedom, I will drown
glances fighting to sound
(a waistline of nothing
a dream of sommer truth
a crest of an ocean wave
seven feet of soil, and the water in it)
is everything our fate isn't about

Sailing away
Abeer Oct 2020
I have been sailing away my own true love
I have been sailing away since morning.
Though my hands were tied and skin lost its grip,
Though my eyes that burn were blind in faith.

I have been sailing away my own true love
I have been sailing away till dark
Oh, My body was broken and they trudged up my soul
They slayed my heart but it was tear-downed by hope.

I have been sailing away my own true love
I will sail away until you show up.
Oh ,Light in the beacon is a light for all,
Light in the wrong one is only a sin for gods.

I have been sailing away my own true love
I will sail away until you show up.
Oh, fear is a place where dogs shrink away,
Not for their temptations or sharpness but their ability to pray.

I sailed away my lost true love
I sailed away waiting.
Oh my love it's fine,it's all over now
Let's sail away without home.

My bed is a grave
Abeer Jun 2023
It's like your sitting beneath the ocean
Trying to aim high at the sky
But your tiny bed feels like a graveyard
When you're surrounded by erasers
All blunt from erasing the truth and sharpening your sorrow laden hollow
Please ignore the fighting, and put on your headphones
Drown in the recoil of your existence
Do you mind the talking or is it everything?
That chokes you into anger
Please sound the alarms, wasted on deficit
Does it help to be wasted under the velvet day
Are you looking for a new place to begin?
You start by getting up from your bed
It's like your trying get to heaven in a hurry but
the queue shorter than you thought it would be

The rule is pretty
Abeer Feb 2021
Bleak in your highness, i disagree
Remember the shrine of drunken hades,
Kind in species of the honest spies
Like the dead Hephaestion, Alexander's lover.

So fine love is, sweet to ceto and the sea
Dancing in shadows of the high lords
Is a lonesome girl, without any lover or trust
A girl with childrens of blood and death, Medusa

"Feel so cheated by love "said Amphitrite
Its not her fault but is, as she loved the lonesome ocean
She fancy the misery of Oizys and the darkness of Nyx
Because the rule is pretty

Bye
Abeer Aug 2022
Bye
The bliss in for the morning
Really pushed you over my space
Negligence and 'Bye' sounding
"Put the money in" and this he says

The lights don't flicker or twist
Rain water slows and it gets ever so cold
The valiant queue fades in the mist
He kills you ,steals that you once sold

Forgive me, hera
There wasn't any way
Please send your lame little mirrors
I need to show how you looked

Lines for buses or just the heat index
The quick glance at my wrist,it's time
The breeze stopped gushing for the best
The ground wasn't as dry or sublime

Sirens in lane like crime wasn't born yet
"I'll work the nightshift" and for true love
"Agony Aunt was burnt alone", you bet?
I left my dreadful seat for a run

And i ran to my rescue
Far away from worldly affairs and fear
The gun the gun the gun
That the bad men used as i slowly ran away from you
Abeer Sep 2023
It's easy to sleep in the modern world
Sky's dripping gasoline
The airbag taking control, tantrum
The machine with no emotions, is our best friend
The first light shining unequally
Hoax, it's a hoax. The emotions.
It's easy to sleep in the modern world
The forest echoes in pain, the voices scaling down to chaos

Irony
Abeer Sep 2020
No glory or irony for me to seek
Sweet death for you and a rope in hand for your love to hang from a tree
He settled in your arm and soul and his spirit wondered and got lost in the empty sky
Like a thought in this breeze;
No water or love can wash this blood that moves down my spine and rests on my hands
Well no irony did I receive,
I remember he crawled and screamed as the slashes of Blade painted that pain
I do know that pain but there was irony that she receive
Here my soul rests by the crime I never committed or the blood I never tasted
Here I die with no irony printed by this tree
Abeer Jan 29
When we run, far from ourselves
Could we just stand still for seconds
Freight in our stories are those moments
That we shred, to run faster than days left
Paranoid, you run in your clothes, made of
Different skin, different texture, we can't stand
Our Past, our Pain, our Place.
Abeer Sep 2023
Myth is blooming like an ambitious lily
Too little and innocent for this world
Out of that contrary scene, the sky
darkened
And everything went parallax, turning blue
All of this foundation of our creed, are built on blood and myth
Like the lily it collapses in craze
Flee for your love or your own mistakes
The sky set to burst, gold and the rust
The colour erupts

The Watchtower
Abeer Oct 2023
High and the lows, such a mountain seeps into shore
The fever grows, and I don't know, the meaning of this bell
Do you hate this, when you are feeling thin and bored
Or do you hate that, a mouthful of words to abide my unforgiving tell

Led down, dear child, push gnome out of the frame
Make room for yourself, space you won't let anyone in, brace
And in a thousand years, when all of this cruelty is upon us, in spring
There will be flowers and tree all over your living grave

Dear Lady Lazarus, I always get stuck when I start to write
Can I stop believing in the unknown, abstract, neigh, and the dark
I am scared, and all around the watchtower there were knights
Signal of distress, liars, thieves, herd of unheard sparks

It was the little child, with balloon in hand
Asking for some shelter against the coming storm
But all request was met by dismissal, he turned to far sand
Where he stood atop a great sea, a hollow mountain was born

In the watchtower as I watched, in some fond
I couldn't help him, for I'm a chained king, blind
So I asked for forgiveness from the mountain, or deity, or electron
I'm trapped, Lady Lazarus please let it be meaning you find.
Our minds has a will we don't know about

Murder Near Road A82
Abeer Oct 2023
It was an accident
He was reckless and young
Almost as tall as his mother
Almost as loved, But now
Jesus Christ can't save him
He was caught red
Packing her body and his sin
With a Tiara he made using lilies
She was beautiful

Ignore me
Abeer Aug 2023
All I want is a little more
The push of winter
smoked and roasted, silverware spread
to the corners of every edge no matter how round or square
when my light falls deep,
in helm and sake of peace
we see the world wanting me
To throw my coins underneath the bed
underneath the gospel hymns, the beehive, or the white field
my light lingers in circles till it cooked
and ready to be served to feed the winter
the part of me
the soul of me
knell the bell, child
Abeer Feb 4
There's a ladder,
To fall from heights,
There's a pit,
Dark, in shallow light.
There's the rope
To climb or to survive
There's the knife
To build or to die
There's a stone
Under it, all is crushed
There's the water
Quiet, unnervingly hush
There's the light
For it bears a seeker and eyes
There's the dark
You can't leave, don't try
There's me
And then there's you
you, you are beckoning of it
The trust, The fall, The sound
And everything in it
So give me your hand
And let us escape without pain
The part of our journey
Is arguably its very end

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Abeer Jun 2023
Twinkle little star
This world is broken, shine away in waste
Lay crude, in places to be, taken by dark
A little child wishes to be
Something miraculous, pretty
While she faces herself in lowest place
Covers her mirror,looks at you little star
And depressurises her spacesuit
Pull her out, pull her out
She was only dreaming
But she lingers healthy in her little dream
Twinkle little star
You killed someone without existing
Laugh it out in secrecy
Fear is a tool

holding death for misery knells?
shiny werewolf, love, niche, far from day
count mistakes, feelings, run, believe in something
come, pensive poetry, locks, notes, might
say yes, cathy's clown, crimson and clover
kind, no vacancy, dined on the moon
Get relief, Hoax, Could you look after my Mother?, seriously can you Shut The **** Up
Completely free, When will I go to college?
I get existential crisis after every bad test
Abeer May 2023
I'm dancing on a battlefield tomorrow
Does it help to scream ere comes dawn
Would you usurp clothes and boots torn between electric fences and memories?
Or would you stop dancing and meet death while she is busy?

Lights
Starting off and blinking,
Atop of some building
As I figure the meaning,
Of the same question, my existence
But I know it's okay, one day
I am gonna grow wings
A special octave, A better person

Noises
Starting off and sounding,
In the chambers of my chest
Like I'm falling asleep, in a quest
To find someone who is now at rest
But I know it's okay, one day
I am gonna grow wings
A metamorphosis, A wing

Fear
Starting off and flashing,
In a lit room that is blinding
Maybe, it's just the world
With infinite, crowned patience
But I know it's okay, one day
I am gonna grow wings
A little hope, hopefully lasting long
Than everything

Autumn bliss
Abeer Jan 2022
At the distance of the high autumn requiem
The diary was all he had, unfolded
Words and distinct meaning of the fierce
Wrath of that distinction is that of her

The wrath is the warmth of the morning
It is the sweater from a heart that wishes solitude of good fortune
Fortune so twisted in knaves of his command
It is o'er the blood of blues to imagine him

Leave him, cause a deary heart is too dreamy
Dreamy and flirty, it might ruin this autumn
But a soul is broken if only the rule isn't pretty
The rule was over death but was no more

This feast is neither tasty and nor is it poison
Neither is the epitome of oppression nor power
Neither the women nor the demon
It is the most of him with empty will of existence

So leave me for good as i don't own him
Is the night the sunny day without the eyes
Or is it the vengeance of the god to make me die
Without a last dream.
Abeer Oct 2023
"I'll take care, I promise
and call you when I get home"

Stuck on reverb,
A special octave
Almost the time
When I waited
For hours,
For response.
The depth of my
Feelings are crushed
Down more than it's worth
Stuck on reverb,
A special person

89, The Perfect Prime
Abeer Aug 2023
How cruel would we be if we only communicated in symbols
I'll be 89, a perfect prime
But without parentheses i would not make sense
I would wake up to a dream of having factors you can call your own
But sinking in a voyage of my endeavours
I'll be a null set that doesn't need parentheses to make sense
Just a weird scribble that's all to make you understand
Abeer Aug 2023
where is the fear I lost years ago
I feel rust and the crumbling feeling of a ledge
so stable I might make it my home.
stand aloft, naked, in shallow waters
"there's an art to life's distraction'
that gets hindered at the end of the beginning by some evil
to cast your craft in the ruins of your paradise
on the ledge
in the dark

I Wish We Were Not Dead
Abeer Nov 2023
a pause is when we stop talking, remember that
pauses are important. you should pause in the middle
I should not avoid the mirror
the face, myself trenched in only ugly feeling.
ironic, because in any public transport, when I see
beauty, I recognize a feeling, a chance as it grips away
discontent, bruises in my flesh, not physically, leads to
metamorphism into a cacoon like Jerry
in that episode of Rick and Morty, powerless but friends
with the smartest person, who is now dead
pause
think about the forbidden energy gap in thoughts of negative,
emotions of everything and everyone, who said
things, unheard, boundless by the measure of the height of dread.
I must be dreaming because I wish we were dead,
I wish you were here, to see the poem as it unfolds
(chronic pain), nothing is left that brings me hope
but the chance to leave everything and start a new life, back from
the cocoon and face me
pause
but I wish we were not dead
the forbidden energy gap is the energy difference in the valence and conducting band of any crystal, the concept is used for describing the conducting of electricity under an electric field in metallic crystals and semiconductors

Fuck Your Money
Abeer Oct 2023
the darkness shy to discrete
silvers even the finest golden screen
and the men are casted in that burning breeze
for the pigs need a golden leash

all abort the american plane
the sky is burning but our site is faint
and their laughter echoed down the drain
they gave us a shovel to mine the golden plain

we will return to the salt and the sea
******* and your money
we will arson your hollow kingdom, just see
******* and your money
rage, rage against the dying of the light

Sometime in February
Abeer Feb 2023
"The knight are riding at dawn". When I was little, naive, I swear I must have wondered some dispatch of the lights around me, she holds me, indisputably, while her mind is breaking, dying of depression. The lights made me feel uncomfortable. They were to too bright and the air was smokey as well.
Just a corner of some distinct place, I saw a man collecting a pile of rubble from a cracked platform. There wasn't time to ponder for a dog just crossed me. I was frightened by volume. In that cold place, while waiting for help to ride by, in the middle of someplace I don't recall, the lights made me lose weight from the ghosts circling around you. The wolves howl and I try to run but I am stuck between skyscrapers. The dog just turned into a knightmare for it lingers around me. I was little. The gravity was posing some relief. It was pulling her soul onto a cradle for sleep.
While I was wondering how to escape the fate of demons around me. I was little and naive.
Abeer Nov 2023
something in your magnetic field, a friend
dim and hard, the falling of surrender is due
it's you we are talking about
crashing like a toy, a boy, waiting for foy
enter to a road, scared more than me, implode
at every inconvenience, optimistically friends,
with a pirate who never killed, never felt, so much fear
in twenty thousand years of sailing away from himself
you must find yourself, lost in front of your undoing
for life is a short warm moment, and death is a cold long rest
find a glooming heart in rest, to lecture about being a *****
must overfire, your moral qualms.
I guess we were more than ourselves
and you just missed it
Abeer Oct 2023
Imagine love that never ends
The fingers, brushed to the end
Of strength stranger than our ragged
Breath

The night we had in November
Extended indefinitely, infinitely
In all directions, Hold that creme of
****** lips

That pull we feel, when we lay
On the world, allowing my fever
And to not wake me lower than
Alone

Imagine love that never dies

War
The chivalry,
"May we dance?"
The knights were dancing in arms
Then stabbed their ladies and switched places in the sweetest of waltz
Abeer Jun 2023
When you were here someday
I used to wake up in your arms
Everyday, every time I cried
You were just like this perfect description
Of the angel we create
And I don't belong here
I belong with you and everything you touched
Is hurting so bad, I might remove it off
I'm panicking, god save me I'm panicking
But something tells me you are still
Lurking like an angel
Just like an angel
Pull me out of the aircrash pull me out of the wake

Untitled
Abeer Aug 2023
We'll be two distant stars distant by the breeze
The kind of love only common among queens and mysteries
I will wait for the currency to get back there
And fall right back the other side of the river

A lady I once witnessed
She once came to my dream and toiled torn memories
She was burning and screamed at sad far love
“Oh lover, can you feel the willow disintegrating?”
“If I fall on this crude earth and my innocence grooms so helpless,
I forget your sweet face, Would you catch me down and gently remind me?"

Now lets dance like it's 3am on quiet alley streets
Kinda feel like I am burning from deja vu
It haunts me that your eyes never dim
And my eyes and hands never struggle around you

There were blizzards of foresaken hymns
It was something that you need to study
In the corner there's me swinging between skyscrapers and agony

I guess we could have some fun
Throwing darts at me
While I am going a thousand miles per second
I can't slow down

A rebuttal intertwined destiny and monotonous suffering
But still I can't slow down
Shoot me down
Shoot me down
Hey man slow down slow down

A metaphor for Life
Abeer Aug 2023
Look out for frog
It goes like croak croak croak
Once a frog went to the river
To look for food to eat and get a tan
There he stumbled upon a man
James Clerk Maxwell
The frog said "ribbit ribbit
James Clerk Maxwell how do you do?
I'm Stevens the frog and I know you "
The man growled "lovely to see you Stevens the frog
Too bad i didn't bring my knife and fork "
The frog looked scared
Grabbed his sunscreen and quietly left
The Stevens went to a frog pond
To his frog live under the tree wand
Then through the waters a man woke up
He took Stevens the frog and some herbs
He went slurp slurp
Stevens cried "no no no no please please ****, ******* god you ******* piece of ******* **** your favourite species AHHHHHHH"

Sat in front of a vast ocean
Felt some presence, precipitated till unseen
I wanna fly to it
But my wings are non existent, and heart is too **** weak
So I ran, I ran too fast too fast
I went to a bar and told them they should flee
"You're a ******* joke" thats what they told me
I wanna help them
But the grasp of trust has never touched me
So save yourself, sound the fire alarm
I ran too fast too **** fast to save myself
I shoved myself in a bunker to suffocate before it kills us all

The Perfect Dream
Abeer Jul 2023
The last thing I want is pushing behind
The Hollywood sign,
empty boulevard
Hazel pamphlet,
gazed roads ending
meadow beside the city
The road filled with empty
A mean frequency of few cars
The smokey fumes rising
above the walnut tree,
Flirting with the dangling branch
The waves touching heaven and everything,
To sleep so low,
It makes me bleed
The fire keeping us warm,
untouched cold within,
Everyone using the wood and oil
Belong to the mighty
Hollow of our creed
Belong to the mother of the father that
Made us be
Belong to the ghost that guards
Beneath sheets or,
Feeling lonely
Belong to yourself for
Believing
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly, please don't care

20 thousand years of this
Abeer Jun 2023
I drew a face of a late night
On the back of a raindrop, waved it goodbye
It'll be back before breakfast, wearing something elixir, in heartbreak
Soothing some hymns about the rivers, she has been through
Standing here, caressesing the mild wind to show them way
Standing here, it has to dread the death, the rust
It has to feed the rain, while coming back before breakfast
And before long it's dark, another day wasted in self inspection
And planning before comes the junction of conduction and the train to my show
A stunning resolution
I drew a face of my heart
On the back of skipping stones heavier than the moon
Abeer Jul 2023
Oh to close upto oblivion
The light pressing against white noise
Rain and this youtube video of "study with me"
The feeling of being drowned in breathing waters
My revolution must be prone to resolution
Time is a bust with a decisive British accent
In the back everyone's feeling sorry for the loner
Digging into oblivion
I found gold, a telescope that looks upto Orion
I have no one to show

Today, it's the sunrise o'er the tallest building
I lied about the doctors appointment I never had
And my dad ******* it up
I was caught with a knife and Julius was on the floor
Wasted in self neglect, maybe she should work more
And I was caught by the sunset by the cops
They wore clown uniforms with a centripetal appeal
Then I heard the sounds from my side
It was a thunder struck, or a ******* blow to my consciousness

Old Wounds, New Blood
Abeer Oct 2023
Somedays, we are empty and open
To the strech of our paper veins

              We lay here, good as dead and cold
               Till we precipitate a foreseeable
               Anomaly, coming this way

I remember every word,
spoken like a ghost
Hawking my brightness
with mystique or just paranoia
Of not giving in

                But remember again the full
                extent
                Tears are feeling to come, as I
                wrench some

Feeling of abstinence, vocal chords stretched to a merciless extend,
just in my head

                 Your open wounds dressed so
                 pretty, almost made me forgive
                 you

          And forget how large forever is

Oh keep the run
Abeer Aug 2023
Oh keep the run, for darkness lies seldom still
From the lighthouse to the mighty river's chill

Now comes a man on trial, and he must
He asks what's more worth, the truth or cost
Argues the meaning of justice
Our dying purpose as truth seekers and our bitter warmongering
Then clevage of the world disheartened for
A brief second, then we killed him

Oh keep the run, for darkness lies seldom still
From dark dungeons to a free bird's shrill

Now comes a mother, feeling her womb
She must ask what will the men do
If it were a baby girl, or someone unlike true
But she's got no time, for she needs food
Working tirelessly for her babe to fly
When everything is about to die

Oh keep the run, for darkness lies seldom still
From cold murderers to friends in good will

Now comes a weary traveller, in foreign land
With his missing heart on left and harp in hand
He comes to the river beside the helmsman
And asks if he can cross if he is not dead
The helmsman said no, it is only for the dead
The traveller said why would he be there
if he didn't wish it
Aren't we all lost to the perfect place?

Oh keep the run, for darkness lies seldom quiet
For it waits until all comes back at night

A transgender beggar

I woke up, forced to beg
Earn through either by flesh
Or give them my blessings without
The comfort of touch
Without the shade in rain
Or comfort of family or food
I can't work, forced to beg

And people on headphones
Not hearing me scream
I hope they drown from my teary
Broken smile
I can't feel, forced to beg

I love you
Abeer Jun 2023
Arise, the fear of being beneath the ground
Suppress everything and everyone you feel free to differentiate
Fearful of being lost faster than time, slower than peace, slimier than faith
Remember when it all was pretty, now it's bleeding into something diagonal
Arise, chimes of my paranoia, sound some pretty choir, some sigh screening
Fear the dread, fear no less child, fear no less
The day would shine on us when it would all be quiet
But what if the pupil despicably choose to rage against your peace
Paralysis to your order might make us insane
But you told us to "fear no less child, fear no less"
Sometimes it's the break of day and sometimes the night
I wonder about the music that was never quiet
The lyric among the symphony that's hanging upside down
It's some lullaby that's just wouldn't die
And the moments before everything grew
It took shade under the weary castle
The realms of the anxious
And it whispered "i love you"
Or something out of the abyss, walking out of substance to say to
Running out of promises to keep but my dear it's all ending
I won't deny the existence of destruction
But something deep down inside says it isn't right
Please be okay if you're quiet
And news to our little paradise, blooming with everyone with no surprise
I'll get a  life, or a hand shake or carbon monoxide
Something must be able to move
When everything breaks in front of our universe

I lit a thin green candle (to start a poem)
Under the coming storm, faith has dealt me a knight
So give back my keys
I must open the gates for your peace
Maybe then I'll get some sleep

Knocked by purple morphine, pink tic-tacs
Still then I bet we won't be asleep

I was not born to drown
But I will drown
Somewhere in helms of darkness
Digging into my skin

Kind lullaby for me to sleep into

Telling me stories about waves
And i guess i might never make it out
Mama, i will drown tomorrow morning

Jump to the river, what did I see?
A black-eyed angel swimming with me
A pool full of stars and astral cars
Oh all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my fears were turning into nothing
A slow dagger to make me feel
It hurts less when we are free
Jump on the world, what did I see?
A wolf trying to dream in his sleep
A pool full of sharks, and magnesium sparks
Oh all the things I used to believe
All my friends were there for me
All my fears were calling it quits
A push on the head to make me feel
It hurts more than when I start to breathe.
the quietest knife is uneasy to hold

Hush, child, sound a little noise
We jump too quick to disturbance
Stretch, or unstretch
Our limbs to something interesting

When we can watch
The death, or narrow victory
Of someone killing a woman
We treat them no differently

The ambulance alarms a noise
It shifts because of doppler
And us, when we lay petals
To that someone looking for
Someone interesting

They lay crude, upon lilies
And we, let by hatret, in nature
Applaud every gunshot, on a man
Nature of whom is uninvited, black

The fever grew, the madness grew
In prayer, we drew our faith, turned
Soon, there were no petals left
Our hearts filled with empty, undiscovered

When we phased out, into that light
Twice as much heavy, less as bound
We felt our shape, as silent sowers
Of that poison, we tossed around

Sound that little noise
Abeer Dec 2023
Can you see it?
Can you witness the swing?
Of such hollow cradle
we share, build a world on, call it stable
I saw emotional disarrangement
And felt so pretty
It was holding onto my leg,
Like a kid who is worse than me
The cigarette between my
Teeth are longing to perish
I don't smoke
Because my reflection is calling it quits
At the end, a tree with white sap
And broader leaves
A crying violin,
Sounding in the fantasy of my little bleed
A little misfit, a rebel
Amongst drunken kings and queens

A Wedding Day
Abeer Dec 2023
a trousseau, vailed bride
the summer sunshine, friends
butterscotch ice cream, expensive wine,
a friendly dog inches apart, a creepy aunt
a chocolate fountain. Some childish jokes
a heartfelt speech, heart-bound love,
pulled aside by the groom, for hugs and laughs
being very sweet, softly they hold my hand
recharging the social battery, enjoying the back
socializing with fearless child, in way better clothes
at the end, kisses to all who could take
left with nothing but the sweet envy
for a wedding day
