Alphabet Love
Sam Faisal Aug 2023
A should move on,
S is just one person.
Maybe A will meet L,
But she eventually
Leaves.
Hooked up with O,
But only
Okay,
Nothing
Special like S.
Married to V,
Then got divorced,
She was
Violent.
Thought E was going to be the one,
But A wasn't
Enough for her.
He met L, O, V, E,
And still hasn’t found love.
Until one day,
He looked in the mirror,
And found I.
He let out a cry,
“I will love myself.”

The Perfect Date
Sam Faisal Aug 2023
What's a perfect date?
It could be:
Fancy dinner,
Pretty partner,
Roses and lilies,
Weak at the knees,
Holding hands,
Sharing an umbrella in the rain,
Catching you from falling down the drain,
Eyes locked,
Kissing in the rain.

Or maybe it’s:
Spilling your coffee,
A comedy,
No filter,
Matching humour,
Eyes locked,
"Call me daddy,"
You called me crazy,
Talking ****, books and movies,
Eyes lit and laughing free,
Then switch to:
Learning something new,
Expanding worldview,
And before we knew,
Time disappears -

Silence,
No words,
Just your breath,
And my heartbeat,
Tears,
And more tears,
Feeling weak yet safe,
Smiling on my own,
I'm home,
In your embrace.

Looking Forward
Sam Faisal Aug 2023
Be careful
of looking forward
to something
yet to happen
tomorrow,
later -
that you lose sight
of everything
happening
today,
now.

Wildly Tamed
Sam Faisal Jul 2023
Wildly tamed,
an oxymoron I didn't see coming.
Beneath the sheet,
kisses exchange fluid,
words of endearment
as I ****** in
and out slowly,
reaching the spot
of pure sensory relief.

RnB fills the room's acoustics,
you feeling my ****,
"Give it to me,"
you moan,
as if it's your final
dying wish.

Sweat runs down my temple,
heat swells up against
our bodies,
friction,
motion,
that won't give you sickness,
but liberates you from it.

Pounding hard,
like hammering nails,
stuck out veins,
full of energy,
bursting with passion.

I turn your body around,
hunching down,
with a looser opening as
your thighs spread wide.
Shaft slides inside,
smooth sailing
to the sea of glory.

Your ****** is a mystery,
excitement shifting to slight pain.
Moving fast like I'm on *******,
never lined one,
though,
I'm sure the high is the same.

You beg me to stop,
but I'm only getting
started,
not ready to hit the off switch.
"Just let me stay inside
a little longer,"
warm like morning coffee,
moist like an oasis,
thirsty.

Redness tingles,
reaching the pinnacle,
declaring imminent freedom and
finally,
pulling out from the delicacy.
The bird flies
back to its nest that
is your mouth,
load’s shot inside,
swallowed like it was
your
favourite meal.

Wildly tamed,
an oxymoron that depicts
the wild beast
you awakened,
then tamed,
with assured love,
as we cuddle
into the night’s embrace.

last christmas.
Sam Faisal Dec 2022
last christmas you were home,
steak and wine,
your cardigan’s tone
matched your lipstick fine.
walk down piazza
draped light regalia,
your smile glimmer
the tree’s star shimmer.
hands held tight
swift joyous stride
thinking forever this would last.

tonight didn't feel like christmas,
in my arms a gleeful mistress,
only hollow vessel
her warm body
taxidermy.
tunes and jingles
gloomy festival
our memories sparkle.
tears begging for escape
shackles bending out of shape
lies fall apart
truth coming out
you still have my ******* heart.

What's Your Poison?
Sam Faisal Aug 2019
Glass after glass,
Full,
Empty,
Refill.

It's ****,
When you undress
My sanity.

Silence
Sam Faisal May 2019
Silence speaks mystery
That leaves you with anxiety.

The error is hazy
The gravity is indiscernible.

I'd rather you nag at me
Than being given
a silent treatment.

Please
Just tell me
What's wrong?

Death
Sam Faisal May 2019
Death
Is more painful

When it happens
To your loved one

Than your own.

Broken Trust
Sam Faisal Apr 2019
Loving someone
After knowing
They used to betray your trust.

Yes it seems possible now
But for how long?

The scars dried
Yet they may bleed anytime
With a simple nudge
Of the past.

Yes you can still love them
But never the same.

Your True Self
Sam Faisal Mar 2019
You cannot find yourself
On the surface of comfort.

You are introduced to yourself
By the depth of adversity.

Minimalism
Sam Faisal Mar 2019
Minimise distraction
Maximise intention.

Minimise commodity fetishism
Maximise giving out love.

Love people, use things.
The opposite never works.

The Right Spot
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
I showed you my affection
You pushed me away
I was too clingy.

I focused on my life
You said I pushed you away
I was too distant.

It seems like
I just can't
Hit the right spot.

Mask
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
Mom
Dad
I didn't grew up
To be who
You want me to be.

How ironic.

For your approval
I had to conceal
My truth
With pretension

When you
Taught me
To never
Tell a lie.

Escape
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
Sitting on
The pavement
Where we used to
Walk on together.

Intoxicated for an
Escape
Yet the longing for you
Deepen.

Fever
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
I'm not taking the painkillers.

My body is weak
Aching torso
Dry throat
Struggling for balance
With this dizziness.

The pain is not chronic
It's not life-threatening
So I shall endure the pain
It makes me feel alive.

Medicine is for the betrayer
Who doesn't trust their own army
In their body.

Digital
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
I'm retrieving my life back
I'm putting my phone down
Escape the digital world
And be present.

Easier said than done.

It's hard,
When you have a lover  
Thousands of miles away.
The only means for connection
Is digital.

Short Poem
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
Is it poetry,
Or is it a clickbait?
Poetry is evolving with the economy of attention in today's digital age. With images and advertisement bombarding us from every corner of the media content that we consume, our attention span is getting shorter as we know it. Lengthy literature are becoming less favourable. The discourses  that are discussed in a book, are now preferably obtained from a shorter article on the internet. Poetry as I observed, seems to be riding on the same trend.

The Longing Soul.
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
I can't sleep.

The pixels torched my face in this gloomy room.
Flicking through our photos.
A lovely couple in each other's embrace.
Our jubilant smiles brimmed with life.

Those were the times when reality was mistaken for a dream.
As it was ethereal yet ephemeral.

I wish it would last forever.

This room is cold and quiet now.
Without your warmth and your laughter.
These extra pillows and space
Replaced your physical grace.

Not a single night went by
Without tears in these eyes.

I miss you ma chérie .

I Hate Him
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
Found a photo of myself
From a year ago
Which I sent you.

I hate that person
That insidious smile
Make my heart boils.

He hurt you
Countless of times
Insensitively.

He's the old skin I shed
I will never be him again.

Meaning
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
My entire life was structured
around a belief system
Until the day I'm in a foreign land
Where familiar faces and cultures
No longer clenched me to
My identity.

Didn't know where to go
How to live
I'm a lonely alien here
I'm lost
Cultural shock they warned me.

I had to start from scratch
To recreate myself
The meanings of life
I held on from my parents
I let go.

From Stoicism
To Existentialism
I tried to comprehend our existence
Only to a realization
That there is no meaning
Life is absurd.

Saviour
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
I love you.
Not a single moment in life
that these words
Would find their meaning.
Years gone by
without them ever leaving my lips.

These words were locked
Deep inside this prison
That you call heart.

In the summer of 2017
Six thousand miles away
To my hometown I return.
Expecting nothing in this small town
But familiar faces.

You were a mutual friend
whom I wanted to catch up with.
We spent the whole day together
From breakfast till dinner.
Yet it wasn't enough.
I wanted more time with you.

This gravity I felt
Pulling me towards you.
It was so strong
I can't help but fall.

I felt a breeze inside of me
The door was opened
The air was let in once again
My heart started to breathe.

I have been travelling
Half the world away.
Little did I know
The key was always here all along.

I love you.
These words are freed.
You are their saviour.

Reckless
Sam Faisal Feb 2019
For my recklessness
I'm lying in a bed of regrets
Money is spent
Emotion is drained
And so time went.

Although I must acknowledge
The beauty of it
Its spontaneity
Driven by passion with levity
Led me to an unexpected love
A wonderful dream.

This is the spirit of youth
The unfazed jolt
Into the unknown
Though with rue
As a person I grew
With a purpose anew.

— The End —
