Some poets not of meekness but of valor
When the pen not the sword they chose
In a quiet solitude in earnest labour
With ink of tears in their lyrical woes

Write in sober or when they're drunk
With passion with a yearn in every heart
Or write in sadness in a chair they sunk
While some write for the sake of their art

Mohamed Nasir Dec 2017

Solace

solace is to comfort in words to be kind
in the wake of tragedy and tribulation find
solace is as crisps as fresh as air after the rain
wash away the tears heart broken by grief and pain
solace is soft as gel as tender as dew on blades of grass
mellow the bereaved of bitter memories till it come to pass
solace to the loser like sun rays breaking through dark clouds
bearer of hope to the persistent over negativity that shroulds
to console the believers for at the tunnel's end there's light
like merciful angels sent to soothe the terminal's plight
solace is to come to term one will expire oneself
to be plucked by the One off the shelf.

A Song To My Beloved

Love me as you loved me
Like you loved me before
Never leave me never
Never never more

Kiss me o my love kiss me
Like you kissed me before
Never leave me never
Never never more

Let me be in your arms
Let me sway to your charm
Let me be the only one
Let me be your sun

Hold me my darling hold me
Oh like you hold me before
Never leave me never
Never never more

I'm sickly my darling I'm sickly
Hold me like you never
Hold me before
Kiss me my love kiss me
Never leave me never more

Let me be in your arms
Let me sway to your charm
Let me be your only one
Let me be your sun

Inspired from an old hindi song of an old hindi movie. Not a translation. The words are of my own.

I Regret

I really regret the things I've said
Long it dwelled bitter in my mouth
I wish you'd stay maybe I lost my head
I wasn't even thinking of going down south

I drove over to the front of your door
I saw in the window before I press the bell
Someone I knew and inside of me did gore
I wanted to tell you but afraid you'll say go to hell

Next best thing I could do is to call
I did try but sorry I couldn't finish dialling
Paced the floor walked from wall to wall
I wanted to say I'm sorry truly I'm darling

Your a woman good I know that
You're a woman I'd want to marry
I don't mind if you had grown so fat
Even a fridge would look pretty to me

I married your good friend not anyone else
Sadly you got angry and married my enemy
To get even with me and how my heart felt
I regret I didn't beg you not to be so silly.

Go now, go quickly

Go now, go quickly
In ebony night hours
Quiet as the dew drip
While the neighbour's
Dog in the kernel sleep

Go now, go quickly
Silently we go unseen
Not a time to reminisce
Look back contemplate in
Moments of tranquil peace

Go now, go quickly
Go to the waiting boat
To be vagrants homeless
Flee from the war brought
Hardship grief a life loveless

Go now, go quickly
To touch distant shore
Somewhere in safe haven
Still do not run foul of the law
Still a foreigner to struggle to earn

My heart goes to those who have to flee from their homes not knowing if ever they'll return.

Mohamed Nasir Dec 2017

Assume

Assuming that my love is duplicated
Reciprocal to a love's assumption
Presumably love reciprocated
To be in love's presumption

When you think back, one of the most loveliest moment in love is the uncertainty of one's love. After you've finished reading, read again from bottom to top.
