It seems most poets are inspired by nature
I'm mostly inspired by the nature of me
It is commonly sadness and anger
that fuel my poetry

summer rain comes again
with the pained cry of someone
who isn't quite me.
summer rain comes again
where white meets gray
and lies are true.

static love
isn't love at all.
and i'm not sure
if i could trust you
if i were to fall.

with a single touch
the flowers beneath my skin
unearth and uproot.
with a single cut
i can easily erase
each and every mistake
that i've ever made.

I'm watching my life go up in flames
Coughing lungfuls of smoke
Can't see around the glow from the blaze
Try to breathe but choke

I'm careful not to get too close
Keep a safe enough distance away
Helpless as I watch my home
Descend into a state of disarray

I try to escape the inferno
But the doorway is blocked by fire
I have no choice but to burn along with it
A victim to consequences of my selfish desires
Everything just seems to be going to ****

You need so much
I don't have it to give
I'm not sure if I can feel anymore nevermind live
Part of me worries that I'm dead
or at least the most important part of me is
You deserve so much
Yet I have nothing to give

Winds were turning, the sun was burning
Some were earning, some were learning

Despite same age, not on same page
Circus and its cage, work and its wage

Before days were salad, life was ballad
Now scant is jealous, fulfilled is callous

Some were putting stamps, some were avoiding lamps
Anxiety became swamps, solitude became camps

Devoid of the vision, dreams in the prison
Blames and reason, grudges every season

Fast as well as furious, adrenaline was curious
Shifting next and previous, life was oblivious

Downers were prevailing, attempts were failing
But refuge against despairing, refute against ailing

Dive deep into sea, nothing will come free
Don't cry, make tea,from sapling to tree

Sweat is often sweet, let's find our feet
Time is dead heat, smile and compete

From morning to night, between joy and plight
Better fight than flight, journey will be alright

Keep dreaming ...

dreamed a dream ...
with no place ..
above ...
where no one there ...
only a sweet soft angel ...
gave me the happiness ...
seconds ...
not more ...
to return back ...
from the dream ...
with a reality  ...
i never want ...
never it irrigate ...
my hopes ...
on this earth ...
so, ...
i return again ...
to my dreams ...
just live happiness ...
between skies ...
even if it was ...
only seconds ...
at least ...
i dreamed ...
and felt the joy ...
by my dreams ...

i will keep living ...
a happiness by dreams ...

hazem al ...

I don't like my skin today
It doesn't fit me right
It's loose in the wrong places
Where I need room, it's too tight
The color doesn't match my mood
I don't appear slate gray
I think I might go back to bed
I hate my skin today

From seeing your name
That makes my dream to flame
It gets me excited to aim
The better frame of my life

How many times that I wish
I can hold on to you for a lifetime
To climb in all the obstacles
That hinders myself for a longtime

I will forever cheerish you
Whenever I walk into a new path
Letting you go was never easy
Whatever happens you will always be my dream
i keep on thinking of wordsβ€”
to unite, to collide;
but in everything that i do,
memories of you and i,
sweep me off of my feetβ€”
with such delight.
hope y'all are doing fine!

I am a hoarder
because my own memory
fails me
