Brave men fighting
Knights crawling
Strong men dying
Kings crying
Emperors imploring
Kingdoms falling
Empires collapsing
Poets writing
Musicians performing
Paintings begging
Statues Kneeling
For a glimpse of your eyes


--Hisham Alshaikh
Glimpse of Your Eyes. Version 1.
Don’t let Love
Be the reason why
you keep
On giving kiss of life
To a departed bond
If you cannot find synchronization
It may be time to let go...
Your destiny is never tied
To anybody that’s half-loving You
It doesn’t mean that life is over
and you can’t be friends
it simply means
Their part in your story is over
You’ve got to know when love
Is no longer worth resuscitation
For love is a spiritual gift
it’s not to ever be wasted on what
Wasn’t meant to be..
Let It Go
Veil hangs over lilac fields,
      blessed are these still waters
God speaks with impeccable timing
Lining the mirror with silver
Reflecting even the dimmest lighting
So you notice that glimmer in your eyes...
Inside I'm whirling with questions
My curious mind, wresting with
Indecision and panic at the promises
I meant but might not honestly be able to keep...
I know that I'm intelligent, but still
Doubt clouds my judgement while
Fear of death, or even worse, failure
Drive me into situations I might regret...
It's a miracle I'm still alive today
By the hands of gracious people
I narrowly escaped the legions gaze
Moving out of the steeples vast shadow...
Now, standing in the light, the Truth
Watching my own shade stretch out
Consuming the lovely Sun's warmth
And twisting it with my short sighted ego...
I wish I could understand because
I don't have much faith in humanity
But we're all just doing our best
To try to make ends meet...
Staring into the moon
I'm drawn to you

Breaking my heart
Slowly ripping myself apart
It no longer hurts

I sleep and dream in paradise

Are you mad?

Are you mad
I'm over the moon

I'm so far away
Flying over the moon

I thought I told you
I can't fix you

You are
Who you are

I can buy you bandaids
It'll never heal your broken veins


When we're together I can't hear you breathe

Are you mad

I'm not here
Beside you

On the moon
Looking down on you
