Be like the pouring rain
Audacious to fall
Be like the snow
Undaunted to lose hope
Be like the wind
Unapprehensive to show emotion
Be like the sunrise
Valiant for growth and change
Be like the night
Unafraid to show darkness.

Your Figure

Ali Hilout Dec 2020

Your Figure

Your hair, its softness makes my heart palpitate rapidly;
Your face, its lineaments leave me in the wonder of their rarity;
Your eyes, I can stare open-mouthed into them unweariedly;
Your lips, I wish I can kiss them constantly;
Your hands, I wish I can entwine them with mine eternally.
Your mind, it captures me on every occasion thoroughly;
Your soul, I can love it everlastingly;
Your heart, it belongs only to me, solely;
O, my inamorata! Feelings of you will never be dreary.

Death

Ali Hilout Sep 2021

Death

There is no light without darkness.
No cloudy skies without rain.
Over and above this dreadful end;
Our tears will be wiped away,
Our aching hearts will be settled down once more.

We will sit and observe them come and go;
Only to settle speechless and motionless--
Wishing for them to stay a little bit longer.
Our hearts become full of the greatest sorrow,
The sorrow of losing a loved one forever;
However, it is not the end!

For their sake, remain strong and smile!
Find comfort and joy in your life
With all your fondest thoughts and memories of them
Shall dwell within your heart, nevertheless.
Parting is miserable,
But life goes on without alerts.

I am veiled. I am an insomniac.
I am a lot of raindrops on window glass.
I am the treasure that is hidden in dunes.
I am the screeching winds on dreary nights.
I am the blossoming trees on a warm spring.
I am your welcoming sight on a starry night.
Do not stand at my final resting place and shed bitter tears.
I am far away. I did not fall asleep.

Thy Scent

Ali Hilout Mar 2020

Thy Scent

Feeling the scent of thee;
It came through me abruptly,
Consuming my sense of smell completely;
My core quivered as I inhaled and exhaled fluidly,
Gave me affection, fondness and serenity.
Thy scent brought life to a forgotten memory;
A memory I chose to lose willfully;
Yet, attached in a corner of my mind unknowingly.
I just followed her blindly,
She woke me up every night unexpectedly;
I was captive to her voluptuous allure thoroughly.

Her

Ali Hilout May 2020

Her

I sought for serenity in countless ways;
Then I found quietude in her,
And she became my fountain of tranquillity.

O Love!

Ali Hilout Mar 2020

O Love!

O, love! What have you done?
In the open air, sauntering alone
Thinking about you constantly
Looking at the blue sky
Talking to myself relentlessly
‘Where are you?’ asking forlornly
I crave you, your touch
Your breath, your skin
I am at sea undoubtedly
I yearn for your presence
My life became lightless
The blue sky responded joylessly
She is long gone abruptly
I replied optimistically
Your alluring love would never fade.

Yet Aloof

Ali Hilout Mar 2020

Yet Aloof

Eventually, no one is worth it;
Rely on yourself and do not
Await a cold cordiality from anyone;
Despite this, always be the first on
Planting happiness in people’s hearts;
Undoubtedly, someone will plant it
In your heart, life as you offer to it,
It offers you more indubitably.

Positivity

Ali Hilout Apr 2020

Positivity

Positivity is a shining light,
Like chaperone to accompany you,
Through the gloomy alley.
Thus, when life overcast its murky clouds,
And make your alley sunless,
May your light still enlighten your path.

Land of Denial

Ali Hilout Mar 2020

Land of Denial

His core is filled with the collapse
Does he truly love himself?
Something he did not give to himself,
He expects others to give it to him;
When someone tries to approach him,
What does he do? He get-away!
When he believes that he is incapable of being loved,
He always seeks clues to convince,
Himself that he can not be loved.
To relinquish something you believed for so long;
It is a demanding and complicating matter.

A Gloomy Virus

Ali Hilout Mar 2020

A Gloomy Virus

We seek for an excuse impatiently,
To keep living our life freely;
To endure the dreadful scene intrepidly,
Fraught with the mess, doom, and jeopardy.
A dark, infectious, virus may it be;
Unfathomable, and obscure seemingly
We are unaware of it wholly.
We wish to get out from this trouble,
So as to wake up on a bright day;
After it, we would have learnt
To face our reality as humans together.
We need these kinds of tragedies,
For them to remind us of our humanness.

Sea Waves

Ali Hilout Jul 2020

Sea Waves

I went to the seaside in the early morning;
Rain cried heavily on the wet sand,
Leaving my footprints as an anchor with my real life.
I observed the murky mist covering the surface of the sea,
While the white gulls swarming upon the sea;
I stood rooted to the wet sand motionless,
Staring at the angry waves profoundly;
It seemed like my whole life was described in those waves,
Each wave had a deep notion to declare.
A wave of mistrust, betrayal, detest;
Infinite waves kept moving nearer to me,
And I kept trying to move forward dauntlessly
To overcome all the hurdles and worriments.

Behold

Ali Hilout May 2022

Behold

Wounded and collapsing.
Behold the allure of a wrecked mind;
Behold the audacity of a broken heart;
Behold the awareness from every cunning --
Every disappointment and abandonment.

Behold the fore uproar from the long loneliness;
Behold the essence of all that I have endured;
Behold the vigor of my shattered core;
For I am shattered but I was never collapsing.

Falling In Love

Ali Hilout Apr 2020

Falling In Love

A person can hide everything in his life;
But the one thing he cannot keep out of sight,
Is when he falls in love with a woman!
Something which is impossible to conceal completely;
It is a wild feeling and beyond control!

The Mighty Oak Tree

Ali Hilout Jul 2020

The Mighty Oak Tree

If you leave me in the lurch,
And forget the withered leaves
Of my crumbling branches,
Don’t you dare come again!
May the colossal forest be your
Misadventure in seek for filling
Your profound emptiness.
Oh so grand! Deep in the forest;
I shall grow afresh into
The mighty oak that once
Stood its ground mightily;
Embodied in my towering sturdiness.

I bemoan over the scarcity of many things I seek for,
And with past burdens new woes descended on my shoulder;
I am gone to a watery grave filled with sorrows;
Yet to be experienced and suffer from it deeply.
I sought for affection to quell my rage and ire,
But then I still weep and wail at sorrows bygone;
I am foundering in waves of deep woes,
Unable to fight them back bravely;
I had faith on time with all I have,
And it offered me a life span and ash.

Do you know Who?

Ali Hilout Jan 2021

Do you know Who?

Do you know who?
He is the one who I showed him my dark side;
Then, he threw light on it.
Like water! He brings life to my arid land
Like the sun! he illuminates my dark path
Like a clear sky! He clears doubt from my perplexed clouds
Like spring! In it renewal, resurrection, revival
Of meanings inspired by spring to lighten the darkness
I have wondered, how can a person begin his inner journey?
I answered confidently when he finds who grants him tranquillity
Like a parched tree waiting to be watered, to revive afresh
One of a kind, exceptional, his own fabric
Do you know who? It is him!

My Home

Ali Hilout Nov 2020

My Home

O, you beautiful thing!
Your face is beyond praise;
While gazing at it intently,
I see the sense of my life gracefully,
I see my bright coming times,
I see my furnished destiny,
I see my sweet home,
I see my little toddlers.
Bewitching in every way!
There is nothing more pleasing
Like her shapely face.

True Peace

Ali Hilout Jun 2020

True Peace

I seek true peace, the kind you fail
To bring to light; yet, came across
With a long walk pier that has lights on the sides;
On a shore with beige sand,
Once I reach my fingers down into the sand;
Its grains give you chills and a unique relief,
Where your thoughts show signs of life,
For them to dance in the melodies of my mind.

Sincere Conversations

Ali Hilout Apr 2020

Sincere Conversations

I encounter and observe many conversations daily
But, some conversations have a significant merit
The ones where words are mute and unexpressed
Not necessarily needed, but fathomable perfectly
Through silence and eyes that two gaze at
A spontaneous voiceless never-ending harmony
It entices naturally and connects us to our deepest selves.

— The End —
