Light
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
What if the dark side isn't dark
but white pure light,
beautiful, innocent.
A perfect disguise.
Devil in white.

Superman
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
If I were to be gifted,
With bounties of superman.
Super sight, super strength super everything!
Freedom and the rare ability to fly,
I'd accomplish oh so many things.
It probably won't be any worth to it
Because it was so easy.

I gained without the love of procuring.
I accomplished accomplishments,
Without the batting of my eyes.
Without the pout of my lips.
I achieved this world,

At my knees free of any hurdles.
Yet it isn't worth any of my super.
Maybe that's why we are all created equal.
And no one superior than the other.

So we treat one another with equality
And join to accomplish wonders,
With each others at our sides.

Free of cruelty and envy.
Free of regret and jealousy.
Free of guilt and hopelessness.

Maybe that's why we are humans,
And humans were created weak.

Escape

I've planned my escape
Long before you've made your move

And I'm moving towards it

I'm gonna leave and you'll be left behind
Keep bidding and keep planning
I've already made my dismise.

Malala
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
The ****** of the east and west,
At Your recovery we all rest,
Lord is merciful but the people are not.
Clocks tick and the days goes by,
I'm afraid that you will never be forgotten.
The west will dangle you
Before the eyes of thousands.
For all the thousand things they want
Your agendas are quite right I'm afraid,
Perhaps they thought metal was the answer.
They were afraid as well.
Showed, praised and written about,
Cherished and awarded.
Our dear malala.
I can't help think,
Perhaps you're a puppet
And west the clever puppeteers.
Brave as you are,
I know for sure now that
You don't stand a chance.
Life might be short but it seems like an eternity.
For change is what you want,
You don't reside with the enemy,
You don't accept their awards.
When a government can't assure us change,
What chance do you stand with your words,
For you are just a girl with a bullet hole.
And half this country is drowned in illiteracy.
Brace yourself sweetheart,
Cause you are just another girl,
Where millions others are fighting a real fight,
All you do is befriend the woeful west.

Promise
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
Smiling is a forbidden pleasure .
Let our eyes do the talking.
Pious intentions your might be,
Don't be so sure of mine.
Same love, same intensity
But whole another dimension.
It might startle you.
It might impress you.
Perhaps it would scare your,
Remember this I do forever,
I don't taste and leave
I stay and devote.
Love me alone or hit the empty road.

What keeps you going is a mystery to me.

RazanSidErani Dec 2014
I've seen scarier things,
Only seldom some have made sense.
The rest is rather amusing,
It'll leave you awake, thinking,
Chewing in on your insides for hours.
And the chorus keeps reminding you.
Singing the last night's lullaby.
"No there isn't any hope,
Your were born here and here will you die,
Clothed in your misery,
Shackled to the fetters of your mind."
I've seen scarier things in life,
But none scarier than that.

Queen bed
RazanSidErani Feb 2015
The road skits faster
Than my eyes can capture
Gravel flying upwards like bullets
The winds are familiar
So is this place
My conscious is emancipated
As I draw closer towards home
The warmth and safety enhances me
Familiar is what I crave
Home is what I need
To forget today's work and sweat
Truly I don't need that anymore
It'll be on pause till tomorrow
When I return to that world again
But for now its home
Like a queen needs her bed
So do I.

No Net
RazanSidErani May 2016
I wish that someday,
People will raise their heads,
From their phone screens,
And look up at the fleeting blue sky.

And just marvel at it.
With their eyes.
Not through their instagrams,
Not through their camera lens,
Not through the reflection on their screen.

I wish people would just free themselves,
From social media.
The impulsive need to be on the now,
The relentless need to stalk someone or something.


I wish people would just live for a second,
Without being bowed to a device
That clearly controls
Every aspect of their freedom.

Common
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
My issues are nothing new,
Not old either.
Just common.
Isn't that's what we all are?
Similar are our difficulties.
Just different setting, different levels.
We all are heirs to wisdom.
It grows and we learn.
I take my time with it. I lean forward. I try.
Everything is interconnected.
Everything is same.
Everything is common.
This world is common.
I'm bored and aren't you?
Shapes, colours, snowflakes.
Nothing were made to be similar.
The reason it's all so very interesting.
To feel, to see and to touch.
Their intricate patterns amuses me.
If the day goes white to blue,
And the nights yellow to black.
Aren't we all necessary. All the colours.
We weren't made to be different.
Be separated and humiliated.
But guess what we learned from humility.
We let wisdom grow inside us.
We let it strengthen our bonds.
We accepted us and so did others.
Now we come up at first.
And Now we stand out.
In a world this common,
Its refreshing to be different.

Not Now Not Never
RazanSidErani May 2015
If not now then when.
The agitation is clear as day.
I clear my throat and say,

"Someday on that special bright blue moon,
Someday when I'm done fooling around,
And finally fall for someone to swoon for"

"Once upon a time in oblivion,
From the blood rimmed wine glasses,
to the sounds of clinking in the air.
To the fireworks in my heart."

I've watched you grow so strong
             To see you break isn't real at all
I've watched you build bridges with all you had
                     With love, kindness and sincerity
             To watch you sacrifice all
In love and devotion is a sight to behold
                     You are beautiful and lovely to bits
         I pray the best for you always and forever
I hope others learn from you
                  Your love and patience is remarkable
             Your hope and believe contagious
I pray you get everything you ever wanted
                                Aameen.

Tyrant
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
Come to the wrong side of reality.
You'll find it enchanting.
You might set the world on fire,
Nobody will see you coming.
You might get lost,
Lose your ways in its sin.
For darkness is expanded
With no security.
Woe to those who say different.
Look around you and join hands
Make friends and shield your back.
Everyone's here to win.
They don't trust me on this.
Move on like the waves do,
And find another to riddle
Keep playing and fiddle em in pleasure.
To woe with people and their matters.
Be a tyrant of your own thoughts.
Look the other way,
Seep away it'll be worth your while,
Trust me on that.

You keep me wondering who you are,
Running curiosity through to my peril.
But I've fallen in love
With million twinkling stars.
And I'm no longer afraid of the dark

Your Words

I love how you pronounce my name,
so out of accent or character.
You make it sound so special.
as though it may belong to Someone else completely,

But you spell it out of conjecture.

you are always there,
in the back of my mind.
creeping down my spine ,
with everything that reminds me of you.
I wonder if that's the same with you?

I love how quirky and weird you are.
I love your extravagant exaggerations,
I love how I can pick you out of a crowd.
Even when you are walking miles away
with your back to me.
wearing that stupid scarf I gave you.

just so it reminds me of you

The obsession is just half the queer.

            And I've seen you trying

Like the celestial beings binge on brilliance
      Makes your aura shine a little brighter
                                         But now You're not even trying
       Should I even be devastated ?
            Should I even feel damaged and broken ?

Reckoning
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
Look out the window.
Through the thick black glass,
I hope you look out properly.

Almost sincerely?

Turn away from the mirror and look out the window.

Listen to that noise ?

It's your conscious knocking.
The glass never breaks though,
You've ignored it for so long.
It fed off your insolence,
It ceased to be beaten down with love and humility,
And It ceased to be weak to them.

It fumed up sooty smoke,
like your temper and ignorance,
Clogging your view to reality.
It turned hiked just like your ego hype.
It made you blind and self centered,

Everything you promised you'd never be.

Only you could get rid of it.

Honestly, almost sincerely, will you?

Will you break it down and listen to the universe screaming.

Redemption, compassion, love and hope?
Forgiveness, repentance, patience and faith?

It'll scream you awake!
Strike you down from all your glory.
For everyone to see.
On your knees it'll make you repent.
It'll make you swallow your pride
and make you plow your heart out.
It'll pound on you till all that's left
On the ground is blood and ****** bones.
But in the end it'll make you whole again.
it'll purge you from explicits.
At the end, The Reckoning comes for all.

Raw
Lucky are those whose destiny
Is choosen for them
For I feel their path
Is clear cut and laid out
They know what they are meant to be
They've had enough time to accept it
Unlike me for mine judgement
Is clouded with antsy and fear
With doubt and uncertainty
The future I foresee is out of my control
That makes me feel forlorn
Will all the risks be worth at the end ?
I frequent that path
Maybe I need to hold on
Till the end of the tunnel
When the light will reveal my place
And there will be no one
But myself to blame
Then I shall accept it raw

When you have been trying to forget that world.

That she took out time,
Lowered her ego and called you asked you if you were fine.
With mischeif or malice or sinister intend.

Thats flattering. Thats so ghastly over whelming
For all she wanted to know about were how badly my boats were burning down.

It'll never Barr us away .
For I'll come get you.

Steal all of you in the dark of the night like thieves,
And we'll fly high above the mountains.
High above the clouds.
And the let the winds carry us home.

You'd never be alone.
I'd come get you.
Whenever you felt so.

I feel like I cannot feel again
   The depth is gone The edge is gone
           I'm emotionless and stoic
   I'm static and white noise
              I donot feel anymore
     I'm dangerously numb,
All I do feel is anger burning holes in my skull
         So full of words begging to be let out.
   I'm so lost in my nest of decisions
       I regret my flight and my freedom
    I regret everything I did n didn't do
             These feelings are for me
    And shall consume me
           Till there are only bones and ashes
        But I don't want to regret anymore

If you are ever feeling low
Like you will never rise at all
Take a pen and draw a pair of wings on your wrist
And make a vow that it will never bring you down ever again
If you are ever feelings like you won't ever fit in
Remember that it's alright to follow the road less travelled by
Better have traveled and suffered and it's been all worth it
If you ever feel inferior
Take a pen and draw a tuft of veins on your wrists
And remember that we are all just blood and veins
Nothing under the sun have been ordinary of late
Strive to be extraordinary and accept your imperfect perfections

learn to fly
RazanSidErani Apr 2015
We shall learn to fly
And leap of the mountain cliff
" Let's hop in together" you say
We'd dive in a deep blue ocean
Waves crashing through the roof
Overwhelming our emotions
Perils to the minds treasure
And shout till we lose our voice
Wash out from the cage and hold to freedom
Wash out the soot of our past And born a new
Like the phoenix being reborn From its own flame
Be like a rockstar no one has ever seen
Singing the ballads of glory
Screaming for love,justice and faith
Swinging the crowds around
Getting high on our adrenaline
Jumping high and crashing down to the ground
Setting the world on fire
The fault is in me and its in you.
Mortal beings we might be
But we could live forever
My lovely lady and i wrote this poem together. We often dream the similar dream of being daring enough to take off without looking back and starting new and burning the pastures of past.

Not Sorry
RazanSidErani Apr 2015
Bleak eyes and sore throats,
Dark room and elevated pulse,
Several broken promises
Floating away on Aladdin's carpet.
Leaving the premises of my heart.
Burning bridges all around me
Consuming me and setting the world on fire.
They burn the city up like fireflies
Disappointments and expectations gone awry
Exhaustion and anger is what remains
Empty broken bottles line my kitchen floor
One stuck on the door won't let it close.
Sleeping is burning through me
Anxiety won't let me sleep
I cannot recover the harsh words
Said in anger and distraught
Adrenalin has its peaks and ditches
Mine is still roaming around scattered
Words I always wanted to say
are imprinted on their minds
And recorded in their ears
So are theirs on mine
I cannot forget them.
Mother always said going forward and regretting is always a waste and believe me I'm in no haste
Although in my darkest time I do regret
I can't take back my words
And I won't let them take back theirs
There are so many times when we regret what we had said to someone and feel sorry for it but when you look over you see that they dont regret their words at all.

When Empty husks Burn Down
RazanSidErani May 2016
There was thunder and there were black skies.
I was on the roof of my apartment building.
there I was.

It wasn't all that tall. Three stories.
I wasn't sure if that was good enough.
Just before that.
My sister was in the hall.
She was reading I think.
I had just showered. Before the power went out.

The rooms were occasionally lighted by the thunder.
Just for a second. I was lying on my bed.
I didn't wear pants because I couldn't see where the closet was.
It was dark and the power was out.
It still didn't rain.

I heard something splatter.
I get up.
I sit there still of a second.
Minutes.
I lie back down.
I've a terrible headache.
I get up after a while and feel nauseate.

It wasn't something I ate. I look around.
My parents aren't around. It wouldn't matter.
They would be famous soon for all the wrong reasons.

 I think about how funny it'll be if I snort some ibuprofen.
I get up and drink some water.
I walk out to see the sky.

I keeping walking.
I think about how it'll be from the roof.
So I climb up the stairs and I keep going till I reach the top.
I look around and see that the power has come on.
I stand up on my tip toes to have a better view and then I look around.

It's still thundering.
I get up higher on the ledge now.
I think of myself.
My father thinks I am a liability.
I think I am a liability.

He said he doesn't have anything for me.
I have nothing for me either.
I think and I think and then look down.

I see myself lying there yet I'm here.
On the roof. I look down and I see myself lying there
but I'm here on the roof.
I look down and I see myself without life.
My head is open, bright red spilling out.
The rest is white noise. I look down and I'm no longer on the roof.

The rain finality falls.
It dilutes my blood to light pink.
Just the colour I liked when I was small.
The rain carries my blood away from my head.
My family doesn't even know

For death is easy.
Gushing wrath of olden winds,

Go ahead raise our dead.
Ease them from their story grave.
Pray they crawl out on all limbs.
Ask you your blood,
Don't you dare refuse.
Ask you your truth,
Don't your dare lie.
Coz they already know.
They've swirled around and they've been Here before.
Walked on death leaves,
Death revokes death.
They know they've been here before
Ask you your life,

No More
RazanSidErani Apr 2015
What if I were to **** myself
Not out of love lost ,
Not out of a broken heart,
Not out of lost hope or misplaced faith
But out of the fact that I didn't want to live anymore
What if I were smiling for so long my lips feels like they will never be normal
Should I crease my heart and let my lips fall into place ?
What if behind all the concealer my skin is still broken and confused
What if underneath my sleeves there are lines left behind by filed nails ?
If suicide wasn't in your book of survival is fleeing away acceptable ?
How is that in anyway different ?
Easier to say but hard to perform.
For I'm so distraught now I don't wanna live anymore
What if the deed is done and you find the bottle half empty
Will u ever forgive me ?
Will you put flowers on my grave every new year.
Wishing I was there to see the pretty fireworks my eyes couldn't see anymore.
Would you ever buy a white dress and know I wouldn't ever see you wear it or wear one no more ?
Or would you diminish my face forever?
Shove my memories in a shoe box disposed of in the bottom closet ?
Would you hate me for it?
Will you give my choice a definition ?
Too cowardly not to go on
Too scared to fall
Too sick of being afraid
So let me ask you again
Will you ever forgive me ?
This poems just one big question and obviously a very sad one. I hope no one ever does this but stars break all the time.

Staring at the start sky
For heaven's sake
Let their be lightening
Let their be thunder
Let their be a full blown perfect storm
So great, it'll leave me asunder
Lord knows what's going on.
Surely the storm and my beats
Go by the same rhythm
Someday when you return
Curiosity will lead you forward
And you'll steal a peak outside
That day you'll know
To what my eyes dilutes
To what my heart beats
The unknown world oh so hidden
Like a starling pearl in its oyster
You shall see the depths

Not even you.

Saints are just sinners,
who do everything right.

Mortal LoveLace
RazanSidErani Apr 2015
I danced with the ecstasy flowing along*
those who came before.   
Singing the morning sunlight.
enticing the best foot forward.
I danced along the coast of joy.
never knowing I was looking beyond the mountain cliff.          
My blood went first for my heart crease to bleed.
My flesh went next for it lost it's purpose
My soul went last for I had nothing left to give them.
My life was a magician's mystery
I've given it the perfect exit.
I lived with those who came before me.
I leave all behind for those that will follow me.

Dear Sid,
RazanSidErani Feb 2015
I hate that you are so far away,
I hate that we have the distance.
I hate knowing that I'll have to be patient,
I wish I could meet you again.
I would if I could believe me,
I wish I wouldn't have to wait no more.
I thought the wait was over
I wish I was wrong and I wish I was strong
I hope that i could see you again.
I miss seeing your face.
I hope we would hang around.
Like friends are supposed to do,
I hope i will see you again,
i hope lord will grant me that bliss
I hope you know,
That i miss you everyday
When the sun rises from the horizon
Till it goes back in its cave,
To do it all again

Perfection
RazanSidErani Dec 2014
Beauty is my everlasting imperfection,
Imperfection is my omnipresent reflection,
My dear shadow, my belonging.
My Lord given gift,
Fueled by faith and paitence,
And omnipresence is ubiquitous.
I know and I believe,
Omnipresence is perfection.
