I never thought my thirties would weigh so much,
With chaos and confusion's constant touch.

I dreamed I'd join the great, the wise, the tall,
Yet no one told me of the truths that call.

They never warned of sleepless nights I'd face,
Or dreams of rest, escape's brief, fleeting grace.

I never knew my heart would bear its share,
Of friends' betrayals, loss, and love's despair.

No voice foretold the load of life's demands,
Or years pressed hard by fate's unyielding hands.

The grown-up life is far beyond my heart,
Which clings to youth, unwilling to depart.

A soul still tender as a child’s might be,
Afraid of life, yet yearning to break free.

As Fall sheds its leaves upon the ground,
The whispers of lost love and dreams resound.

From branches high, where once they dared to soar,
Now fall to earth, their heights admired no more.

For life, a cycle spun by nature’s art,
Begins with hope, then tears each dream apart.

At first, love blossoms, vivid, sweet, and bright,
Its splendor dazzling all who catch its sight.

But petals tire of endless praise and cheer,
Neglected, they succumb to time severe.

Once cherished blooms lie trampled, left for dead,
A ruin crushed beneath unfeeling tread.

Thus, life revolves, with seasons in its clasp—
Some days we soar; some, loneliness we grasp.

For love, like nature, follows such a way:
It thrives, then fades, then withers to decay.

In spring, love’s magic takes us by surprise,
A dreamland built of laughter, daring skies.

Each meeting sparks with courage, hearts align,
And faults are blind, the world appears divine.

But summer comes, and warmth begins to wane,
The heat of habit cools, replaced by strain.

What once seemed boundless, vibrant, full of glow,
Turns into drought, where love begins to slow.

Then autumn’s storms arise with winds that wail,
And shake weak bonds, exposing what is frail.

The shallow ties fall swiftly to the ground,
While rooted hearts endure the harshest round.

In winter’s frost, relationships stand still,
Cold silence reigns, or warmth can break the chill.

For some, a frozen stasis marks the end,
For others, safety, where two hearts defend.

Thus, seasons mark the fate of bonds we weave,
And test what stays, what we must grieve.

The strong endure, though trials may unfold;
The weak dissolve, as love grows faint and cold.

The hug, the smallest space, yet vast and wide,
Contains the greatest feelings deep inside.

A symbol of love, need, and joy’s embrace,
Of fear, desire, and life’s most tender grace.

It’s where the body and the soul entwine,
A sacred touch, a moment so divine.

To cast your pain and burdens all away,
In arms of love, let anguish go astray.

Within that hold, as time begins to cease,
A fleeting pause of warmth and inner peace.

Though brief, its power lingers in the heart,
The hug’s small space makes wholeness never part.

In such embrace, no matter what we show,
We’re children still, with hearts that overflow.

The poet, once a pauper, yet bold and true,
Had nothing but verses, the world to construe.
She, my love, born to fortune's embrace,
Found love, not wealth, her ultimate grace.

One day, he spoke with a heart weighed and torn,
"To wed thee, love, I am too forlorn.
I lack the means to offer a vow."
But steadfast, she answered, "We’ll wed anyhow."

"With me," he warned, "thy joys shall decay,
For I own not even the bread of the day."
But she, undaunted, with courage replied,
"I’d suffer alone, though my wealth is my guide."

And thus they were wed, a union divine,
A love forged in truths that both did refine.
For he whispered words so pure and sincere,
"I seek no vanity nor pleasures mere,

But a bond wherein my soul may confide,
As though with myself in a room closed inside."

Beneath the rain, where dreams are torn,
Palestine’s heart beats, weary and worn.

Through fields of pain, where shadows creep,
The children of hope still dare to sleep.

The olive tree whispers, steadfast and strong,
Its roots hold stories of ages long.

The land endures each tear and cry,
Under the watch of a darkened sky.

The echoes of laughter, though faint and low,
Remind the world of the seeds they sow.

Through rubble and ruin, they walk with grace,
A steadfast hope no force can erase.

The moon bears witness, the stars align,
Guiding the prayers of Palestine.

For every tear that wets the sand,
A promise blooms to reclaim the land.

Oh Palestine, your soul won’t yield,
Through every battle, your fate is sealed.

Your children will rise, your voice will soar,
Peace will return to your sacred shore.

Though storms may batter, and nights grow long,
Your heart beats steady, your spirit strong.

Shelters collapse, but spirits don’t fade,
Freedom’s resolve in every soul laid.

The olive tree stands, though battered and bruised,
A symbol of strength no war can abuse.

In shadows of walls, they build their song,
For justice and peace to right the wrong.

Oh Palestine, your story will rise,
Written in stars and boundless skies.

Upon my hand, the mint tea spilled and burned,
In flames and pain, my love to ash was turned.
I watched the scar, the rising smoke and flame,
And wondered why such harm from love became.

How fiercely can the things we cherish sting—
This bitter truth that hurtful moments bring.
That day, I mourned a sorrow deep and wide:
The tea I loved held no love to confide.

How strange it seems that still my heart should yearn,
For those beside me, whom I seek, and spurn.

I ask of them from those who cross my sight,
Though they walk with me, like shadows in the light.

My eyes pursue them, though they're close at hand,
As if their nearness slips like grains of sand.

They dwell within the blackness of my eyes,
Yet still, in longing, every heartbeat sighs.

My heart aches for them, though they're near to stay,
So close to my ribs, yet they drift away.

In every breath, their absence burns anew,
They are my presence, yet I bid adieu.

What spell bewitches so the soul to pine,
For company that's here, yet lost in time?

Within my core, their essence does reside,
Yet longing forms, an ache I cannot hide.

Strange fate! To feel such yearning’s endless plight,
To hold them close, yet miss them out of sight.

For though their presence graces my embrace,
My soul still chases what it cannot trace.

Through trials fierce, the world did test my soul,
Denied me joy that others find as whole.

Life stood against me, fierce and ever cold,
And burdens deep on fragile shoulders rolled.

I’ve seen betrayal, hate, and envy’s fire,
Yet still, I stand, though weary and so dire.

With strength unbending, though my choices failed,
I fought for kindness, though none prevailed.

Each hope I breathed, life crushed with ruthless hand,
But I press on, though storms don’t heed my stand.

I pray for peace, for rest in days to come,
For blessings true to ease what I've become.

Some people you meet just once, but in your heart they stay,
While others, every time you see, seem strangers day by day.

Some take, and others leave behind, a part or piece of you,
And some, with fleeting hours shared, leave memories deep and true.

Some friendships only bring you pain, though brief they seem to last,
And others, though just days apart, feel like the world has passed.

For things, some people sell their souls, without a second thought,
And some would trade away their years for moments dearly sought.

Some eyes reflect a pure embrace, like rivers calm and clear,
While others seem like distant lands, where kindness won't appear.

Some eyes are filled with quiet grief, some warm like hearth and home,
And some can pierce into your soul, though they've not stayed or roamed.

Some people glow in colors bright, while others hide their pain,
Some live in black and white, while others just seek shelter from the rain.

And those you trust the most, it seems, can hurt you deep within,
Yet, when you're far from them, with ease, they lift you from your sin.

In eighteen hundred seventy-two, one day,
A girl in New York’s streets, lost, made her way.

With clothes of mud, she spoke in French, distressed,
The crowd did try, yet none her mind addressed.

Her memory was gone, she knew no name,
A soul adrift in grief and silent shame.

A charity, French-born, helped her regain,
Her health, her past, and eased her heavy pain.

The daughter of a man of great renown,
Victor Hugo, whose fame had spread through town.

Her tale would break her father’s heart in two,
As she, for fifteen years, in exile grew.

Beside him on an isle so far from home,
They shared their days beneath the British dome.

But love misled her fragile heart’s pure core,
For Alfred, whom she followed shore to shore.

A British soldier, cruel, with heart untrue,
She crossed the seas for him, but sorrow grew.

In Nova Scotia’s lands, she chased his flight,
He drained her wealth, then vanished from her sight.

With no one left, no friend nor coin to hold,
She wandered, broke, in New York’s streets, so cold.

Returned to France, her spirit crushed and low,
Her silent vow from lips no word would flow.

For forty years, from heartache never free,
She spoke no more—no sound, no voice, no plea.

Her father tried to mend her shattered will,
But silence ruled her days, her nights grew still.

Her record stands, the longest silent vow,
In human lore, no voice will break it now.

Beware, O man, the hearts that break in pain,
For shattered souls may never speak again.

Medusa's tale from myths of ancient days,
Is known for fearsome snakes and stony gaze.

Yet hidden truths lie deep within her past,
A victim's plight, in shadows long to last.

Once fair of face, a mortal 'mongst her kin,
Her sisters were of Gorgon’s beastly spin.

But she alone, of human form was blessed,
Until her fate by tragic gods addressed.

The poet Ovid told of her cruel plight,
In Athena’s temple, by Poseidon’s might.

The sea god’s lust, a crime beyond her will,
Yet for this wrong, she bore the goddess' ill.

Athena cursed the victim, not the foe,
With writhing snakes where locks once used to flow.

Her gaze, a force that turned all men to stone,
Condemned to live her days in fear alone.

Perseus sought her head at king's command,
With gifts from gods, a shield within his hand.

He cut her down, her power met its end,
But from her neck, her children did descend.

Pegasus, the winged horse, and giant bold,
Were born of ****, a tale of sorrow told.

Though myths recount Medusa’s monstrous fame,
Her only fault—her beauty was her shame.

In truth, the monster was not her but fate,
For gods, not men, had sealed her tragic state.

The victim of a crime, she bore the blame,
Yet history recalls her with disdain.

When she left me, silence took her place,
My heart is empty, aching for her grace.

Her absence casts a shadow over day,
In loneliness, I yearn for her to stay.

She filled my life with joy and tender light,
Now darkness comes with every lonely night.

I hope she'll hear the whispers of my plea,
And feel the love that still remains for me.

No one on earth will care for her like I,
My heart is bound to her until I die.

I'll wait for her, through every storm and test,
Till my last breath, she'll be the one I quest.

Her touch, her smile, her voice so soft and dear,
Are memories I hold when she is near.

Though parted now, our love will never cease,
I'll keep the faith and seek her in my peace.

In dreams she'll find me, longing for her touch,
Until she's in my arms again, I’ll clutch.

In Egypt's golden sands where Nile streams flow,
I danced with time, where ancient echoes grow.

The call to prayer at dawn, the pyramids' grace,
Home's warm embrace, a familiar place.

In Saudi’s desert, where the sun's fierce light,
Painted the dunes with a crimson sight.

The whispers of the wind in the silent night,
Guided my heart to peace, pure and bright.

Germany's streets, where history's layers lie,
Castles and rivers under a cloudy sky.

A land of poets, where every word takes flight,
Inspiring dreams in the soft moonlight.

Turkey's bazaar, where colors intertwine,
Between East and West, where cultures align.

The scent of spices, the warmth of tea,
In Istanbul's heart, I found a part of me.

The USA, a land both vast and free,
Where dreams are born in the land of liberty.

From city lights to forests wide,
I walked with hope, with the stars as my guide.

Each place a chapter in the book of my past,
Memories like jewels, forever to last.

With simple joys, in each land I found,
A piece of my soul on sacred ground.

A friend so dear, with heart so pure and true,
In darkest nights, you guide me, pull me through.

When storms arise and shadows cloud my way,
Your voice, a beacon, turns my night to day.

With every laugh we share, my soul takes flight,
In your company, the world feels just right.

Through trials and joys, we stand side by side,
With you, dear friend, there's nothing left to hide.

Your words of wisdom calm my troubled mind,
In you, a strength so rare and hard to find.

Our bond is strong, no time can tear apart,
For in your trust, I've found a second heart.

In endless dreams, we wander far and wide,
With you, there's always joy and hope inside.

No mountain high, no valley deep or vast,
Could keep us from the friendship that will last.

With every step, our journey's bright and long,
In you, my friend, I find where I belong.

So here's to us, to memories yet to make,
Together always, for each other's sake.

Through all of life, in you, I see the end,
The greatest gift I have is you, my friend.

In Egypt's land, my heart forever lies,
Beneath the sun that paints the golden skies.

Where Nile flows gently, ancient stories tell,
Of pharaohs, pyramids, and desert's spell.

The pyramids stand proud in desert sand,
Great monuments that time could not withstand.

In Cairo's streets, the bustling life unfolds,
With markets bright, where history is sold.

The Sphinx's gaze looks out across the land,
Guarding secrets in the shifting sand.

Luxor's temples whisper of the past,
Where echoes of the gods forever last.

The Red Sea sparkles, blue and pure and grand,
Its coral reefs like jewels on the sand.

The date palms sway where gentle breezes blow,
O'er fields of green where ancient waters flow.

From Alexandria's shores to Aswan's light,
My Egypt shines, a beacon in the night.

Her beauty and her grace forever stay,
In hearts of those who wander far away.

Oh, Egypt, land of timeless, wondrous lore,
In your embrace, I find my soul's deep core.

A land of dreams where ancient meets the new,
My beloved Egypt, to you I’m ever true.

In memories deep, my heart holds dear,
A father's love, forever near.

He taught me strength with gentle grace,
A guiding light in life's fast pace.

His wisdom vast, his kindness pure,
Through trials of life, he was my cure.

With every word, he shaped my mind,
A treasure trove, so rare to find.

He showed me how to stand up tall,
To face each fear, to never fall.

His laughter brightened darkest days,
In his embrace, I found my ways.

Though time has passed, his spirit stays,
In every dawn, in sunlit rays.

A hero true, a gentle soul,
In love and respect, I find my goal.

To honor him in all I do,
A father's legacy, tried and true.

In dreams, I hear his soothing voice,
In love and respect, I rejoice.

Though he has gone, his love remains,
A golden thread in life's domains.

In every step, his lessons guide,
With love and respect, I stride.

With age, the silver threads weave through our hair,
And lines of wisdom show a life that’s fair.

Our steps grow slower, yet our hearts beat strong,
In memories, we find where we belong.

Each wrinkle tells a story, bold and bright,
Of days now past, of love, and youthful light.

Though sight may dim and hearing fade away,
Our inner vision sharpens, clear as day.

We cherish every dawn and setting sun,
For life’s sweet race is nearly run.

The strength of youth may slowly ebb and wane,
But peace of mind and joy we still retain.

In every laugh, a thousand echoes ring,
Of all the joy and sorrow life did bring.

With every tear, a well of wisdom grows,
For through life’s trials, true understanding flows.

The years bestow a grace that youth can’t see,
A gentle heart, a spirit wild and free.

And though our bodies tire and days grow cold,
Our souls remain forever young and bold.

With age, we learn to value simple things,
The warmth of love, the hope a new day brings.

In twilight’s glow, we find a quiet peace,
As life’s long journey softly finds its cease.

So let us age with dignity and pride,
For in our hearts, eternal youth resides.

When my beloved feels sad, the skies turn gray,
The sun hides its face, and joy fades away.

Stars lose their sparkle, and the moon won’t gleam,
Her sorrow clouds the world, a silent dream.

But when she smiles, the universe comes alive,
The sun beams brightly, and the stars revive.

Birds sing sweet songs, and the rain gently falls,
Nature dances in joy, answering her calls.

Her happiness brings light to every place,
A glow that shines upon her radiant face.

The flowers bloom with colors bold and bright,
And every heart is filled with pure delight.

Her laughter echoes through the trees and skies,
A melody that lifts all spirits high.

When she feels joy, the whole world seems to know,
In her delight, all living things do grow.

So, when my beloved feels happy and free,
The universe smiles, just as it should be.

Her bliss makes the earth and heavens rejoice,
All nature sings with one harmonious voice.

In Africa, when life begins anew,
It's scored a goal, you're down one-two.

Without good schooling, here's goal number two,
If parents poor, then four-nil looms for you.

On this harsh field, there's but one game to play,
To strive for equal ground each passing day.

Welcome to Africa, where struggle's rife,
And daily battles mark the course of life.

In night's embrace, her long black hair weaves,
A tender darkness where my heart believes.

Her eyes, like stars, illuminate my way,
Dispelling shadows, turning night to day.

Her smile, a charm that captivates my soul,
A beacon bright, a light that makes me whole.

Her gentle touch, a spark that brings me life,
Reviving me, dispelling all my strife.

Her skin, like snow, so pure in winter's chill,
A canvas white, a beauty standing still.

Her hug, a warmth that melts the coldest night,
In her embrace, I find my heart's delight.

Her happiness transforms the world anew,
A brighter place, a sky of azure hue.

Yet when she’s sad, the sun no longer shines,
The universe mourns, dark clouds draw their lines.

Her lips, like honey, sweet and purest gold,
A taste of heaven, stories yet untold.

With her, forever is my heart's desire,
A love so deep, an ever-burning fire.

My life's too short to give her all her due,
Yet every moment, I'll make dreams come true.

Together, we'll create a world so bright,
With love that dances in the soft moonlight.

In twilight’s hush, when shadows veil the sky,
A Rose appeared; her beauty caught my eye.

She brought me warmth that melts the coldest night,
Her love, a beacon, guiding with its light.

Her gentle touch revives my weary soul,
In her embrace, I find myself whole.

Her voice, a melody, makes blood anew,
Its cadence soft, my heart's rhythm grew.

She's the secret to my boundless glee,
Her presence whispers sweet tranquility.

Wherever she treads, peace follows close behind,
Her tender spirit, loving and kind.

She is the half that makes my soul complete,
In her, the union of our hearts is sweet.

God sent her to me, a gift from above,
To fill my days with joy, to teach me love.

With every smile, she lights up the way,
Her laughter turns the darkest night to day.

She's my soulmate, the answer to my prayer,
In her, I find a love that's rare and fair.

Together, hand in hand, we face the strife,
For Rose, my love, is the essence of my life.

With you, I stand through love in twenties bright,
And passion's fire in thirties' thrilling night.

With you, I laugh through forties' joyful days,
And weary fifties' paths, through all life's ways.

With you, I'll face the solitude of sixties' dawn,
And seventies' despair, until hope is gone.

With you, until in heaven's bliss we meet,
Our souls in paradise shall find retreat.

We age not when our birthdays come and go,
Nor when our heads with gray begin to show.

We age not when our teeth begin to flee,
Nor when our eyes need glasses just to see.

But when a loved one’s taken by the night,
We age, for loss brings sorrow into light.

We age when ears crave words of love’s embrace,
When autumn winds strip friendships from their place.

We age when we must feign a joyful grin,
While knowing well the end is closing in.

We age when days and nights pass all alone,
Without a friend to share our simple tone.

We age when hearts grow weary with their strain,
For that is when true age begins to reign.

In innocence, I come to you, as a child,
To parents dear, from battles wild,

From weariness and toil, I've tread,
From nights so dark, where rest had fled.

I come to you, from wandering's plight,
Seeking refuge in your sight,

As people find their way back home,
My path to you, in heart's roam.

And still your face, in absence strong,
Remains my solace, all along.

In Africa, when life begins anew,
It's scored a goal, you're down one-two.

Without good schooling, here's goal number two,
If parents poor, then four-nil looms for you.

On this harsh field, there's but one game to play,
To strive for equal ground each passing day.

Welcome to Africa, where struggle's rife,
And daily battles mark the course of life.

In December's chill, in '45's embrace,
Born Abdallah, with a humble grace.

Ezbet Seedy Ragab, his village small,
El Monofia's heart, he answered the call.

Four brothers, two sisters, poverty's hand,
In grade six, he left school, had to work the land.

A farmer by dawn, self-taught by night,
His Arabic script, a beautiful sight.

At twenty, he chose a soldier's life,
In '65, he joined the strife.

Through wars he fought, from youth to old,
An officer's tale, a heart so bold.

In '70, wed my mother dear,
Seven children blessed their years.

He sacrificed, so we might gain,
The education, his dream's refrain.

Justice, patience, punctuality instilled,
Good behavior, his lessons fulfilled.

He wanted naught, but for us to soar,
To achieve his dreams, to be something more.

Kidney failure claimed him in '21,
A hero's journey, now was done.

Yet in my heart, he lives each day,
His memory, in every way.

Rest in peace, dear father, in heaven's light,
Until we meet again, in paradise bright.

When from you a single message finds its way,
My troubles vanish, even in my darkest day.

As if you hold my hand and calm my fears,
You mend my scattered thoughts and dry my tears.

Your call, though I may not answer on the line,
Brings endless joy, a feeling so divine.

How much more if you were here each day,
Since you entered my life, a guiding ray.

It seems God sent you to comfort and to mend,
To ease my pain and wounds, my faithful friend.

With you, a feeling unique and so rare,
You've filled my days with love beyond compare.

You've given doses of happiness and care,
As if time stood still, as if you were always there.

Your entrance wasn't ordinary, it was fate,
Bringing joy that makes my heart elate.

May God keep you with me for my days to come,
Through storms of feelings, sometimes overcome.

If you can't forgive my faults, then leave if so,
But if you can, then bear with me as I grow.

I sought the door of hope while people slept in peace,
And now I complain to my Lord for I find no release.

I said, "O my hope in every difficulty,
To You, who I rely upon to relieve my misery.

I complain to You of matters You already know,
I have neither the patience nor the strength to bear them, although.

I have stretched out my hands in humility and need,
To You, O best of those to whom hands are stretched indeed.

So do not disappoint them, O Lord, in vain,
For the sea of Your generosity quenches all who seek its gain.

When hardships advance with their armies near,
And life, after joy, inflicts its painful spear,

Do not seek a thing from brother or friend,
Have you not seen your shadow walk with you till the end?

So raise your hands towards the sky above,
To the Lord, when you call, He never fails to love.

Oh fairest woman in this world of grace,
Thy scent resides within my soul's embrace.

To thee my heart finds solace, finds its ease,
In thee, love's essence softly finds its peace.

The specters of thy love, they haunt my mind,
Building for thee a palace, love defined.

Each kiss I send, it flies towards thy cheek,
In unawareness, thy blushes rise, so meek.

A traveler, my love flies swift to thee,
Longing for thy presence, wild and free.

Thy rosy cheeks, they beckon and they call,
With thy sweet fragrance, love enthralls us all.

I offer thee my heart in humble gift,
To thee, my dear, my life I gently shift.

I know thee as my enchantress, my own,
To thee, my youth and verse, they shall be sown.

Oh loveliest woman in this world so bright,
With thee, my worth finds increase in the light.

I love thee truly, from my very core,
I love thee dearly, now and evermore.

Every Valentine's Day, my love for you is renewed,
Every Valentine's Day, your love in my heart accrued.

Every Valentine's Day, you dwell within my soul,
And "I love you" from my heart does unroll.

Every Valentine's Day, you're closer than my breath,
You possess my life, every feeling, until death.

Every Valentine's Day, you're my hopes and dreams,
The passion my heart yearns for, it seems.

Every Valentine's Day, you're my world and life's zest,
You're my solace, in turmoil, my dearest quest.

Every Valentine's Day, beside me you stand,
Every Valentine's Day, you're my dreams, so grand.

Every Valentine's Day, no love but for you,
Every Valentine's Day, my thoughts, my soul ensue.

Every Valentine's Day, you're flowers and trees,
Every Valentine's Day, all memories, thoughts, and pleas.

In solitude, I ponder how to guard thy grace,
While facing the treacheries time may embrace.
Time, once aflame, now wanes to ember's glare,
Yet your love, an elusive dream, lingers fair.

How shall I shield thee if days betray our trust?
If destiny decrees, and love turns to dust?
Depart from me, let me face fate's decree,
But take my heart, so pain won't shadow me.

Life's burdens ease when happiness prevails,
And worldly woes recede when hope exhales.
Walk not with me toward shadows profound,
Nor towards a future where anguish is crowned.

A myriad worries and ghosts doth pursue,
As my wounds wail in sorrow's rue.
Before my eyes, my dreams decay and rust,
With naught to call for hope or trust.

Your love, still my last ambition, my final plea,
Yet worries assail, pursuing me like a plea.
All that remains of my dreams is but dust,
Pain, the remnant of joy, turning to rust.

Above, a darkened veil shrouds the sky's light,
Below, thorns and flames test my resolve's height.
In this age, there exists naught but thee,
Have mercy on this heart that bled for thee.

Your love rekindled my heart anew,
After years of sorrow, of pain, I once knew.
What did my heart do to deserve such despair?
Once, you were my earth, my sky, my air.

Why make my world a realm of gloom and night?
Why insist on parting, on fleeing from sight?
What turned your heart to such cold disdain?
Has love vanished? Is only sorrow to remain?

Did your heart, once tender, turn to wield a blade?
Casting me into darkness where morning's light fades.
Who erred in wronging the other, who's to blame?
Who transformed from lover to a selfish name?

You shattered my heart, reduced it to shards,
Taking earth from beneath me, skies from above.
Is this the way of the world, the way of time?
After love, must parting and forgetting climb?

Does my heart deserve such anguish from thee?
After affection, passion, and shared agony.
I endured much for thee, yet more I'll bear,
The world grows harsher, but without you, I fear.

You were my dearest, my most beloved friend,
I fear for you, your soul, and how you'll tend.
Must I be harsh for you to comprehend?
Will you endure my torment, as here I bend?

How did you hide this heart, this stone so cold?
Once, you hid it behind that face, so bold.
Is it time for masks to fall away?
Is it time for you to slice my heart, betray?

I never wished to linger for a day like this,
To hear thunder from your lips, amiss.
Did you wait to witness my longing's demise?
To see my heart amidst burning skies?

Why this betrayal, this vengeful art?
Why this deceit, why this pain at heart?
A day will come when your eyes will weep,
When my faded feelings you'll finally reap.

That day draws near, so await its song,
Not for vengeance, but for my departure long.
The harshest punishment is to leave you alone,
To face life's waves, adrift and unknown.

To realize the value lost, my heart's demise,
To regret the innocent heart you've sacrificed.
Stay away, stay far from me,
Love's feelings departed, for you to see.

Whatever happens, I'll never forgive,
For a heart so cruel, so eager to grieve.
You chose once, chose your own path to tread,
Your joy, your happiness, while my heart bled.

No longer do I have a heart to love you again,
No longer beats it for a departed friend.
Within my ribs, it remains, yet still,
But your love, inside, fades, fades until.

I no longer recall your treacherous gaze,
My heart finds solace, while my eyes blaze.
Seek solace for yourself, akin to thee,
For you have become one of enmity.

Leave me be, for I no longer see thee,
And the heart that once longed now begins to flee.
Love lingers within me, within my chest,
But it's meant for another, this is your quest.

Long have I yearned for you, beloved of my life,
My darkened sky awaits you, my moon, my strife.
I loved you, and you've seized my heart, fate's decree,
Your lovely eyes engraved in mine, eternally free.

The darkness in my heart ends, you're my dawn, my morrow,
Come close, quench my fire, ease my pain, my sorrow.
Have mercy on my longing, my endless night,
I chose your eyes to be my path, my guiding light.

To reach your beautiful heart, I beseeched the Most High,
Do not stray, my dearest, cause my despair to sigh.
In life's desert, you're my shadows, my trees,
I long to see you always, even when you're at ease.

I cannot bear distance, nor can I endure patience,
You said I was created not for tranquilations.
Created to be amidst the winds, a part,
I've never known happiness, only darkness in my heart.

You said sadness is my constant, as if it's my fate,
As if within my heart, there's a piercing state.
I love you, yet my heart bleeds, a silent plea,
I love you, yet fear the wrath that may be.

I love you, yet I can't hide what's within,
You're my family, my kin, in a world so mean.
I cannot stray from you, my love, nor do I want to,
You're my mind, my essence, my spirit anew.

I told her, I don't want to see your tears anymore,
Life's not just sorrows, it has much more in store.
Your tears are but fire, burning, a deep wound,
I love you, I cannot hide this love so profound.

She said, I won't forget you, my love stands strong,
Stronger than the passing days, it belongs.
I fear for this love amidst all worldly affairs,
My mind denies, but my heart declares.

She said, I can't be angry at you, my love,
I can't, even if it brings darkness from above.
She said, there's no beauty in this life we lead,
Death alone can grant me peace, indeed.

I said, no matter how harsh life's plight may seem,
There's always tender feelings within the stream.
We may feel sadness, at times, it's true,
But we shouldn't dwell in pain, it's not what we're due.

Life's beautiful despite its wounds and sorrow,
Even in the longest night, there's a brighter morrow.
There must be thorns for the roses to bloom,
Daylight follows the darkest night's gloom.

Life's always beautiful with the beloved near,
No wound too deep without love to steer.
She said, without you, I'm a body without a soul,
My heart, without you, is an empty hole.

Will we remain together, destiny's decree?
Will we find more than death's inevitable spree?

Still beats within my ribs a tender heart's tune,
A heart that loves you and loves the universe's boon.
Did God create in your face a radiant moon?
Yet, each time I see it, it turns into stone, maroon.

In your presence, I see nothing but your grace,
Within me echoes a word, "I love you," in every space.
I never knew the meaning of this feeling, alas,
Now I burn with love, seeking the world's pardon en masse.

Love I found in the deep sea of your eyes so bright,
I cannot escape its depths, O my angelic light.
The deeper I dive, the more love and passion I find,
As if I am burdened with a mountain in my mind.

A sea of love overflows from your captivating gaze,
I pray to God to keep you in His divine embrace.
Be gentle with me, for I can't bear this fervent dream,
Grant me strength to endure the weight of this extreme.

Would you repeat to me what my eyes and ears fail to hear?
And reassure me that it's not a dream, allay my fear.
I love you, I love you, my lips repeat a thousand times,
Don't be surprised, for from the unbelievers, love climbs.

It's your beauty, my beloved, that unveiled love's truth,
In your eyes, the tender feelings find their veracious booth.
In your eyes, the sea of darkness finds its rest,
Be gentle with my heart, be gentle with my quest.

For you, my heart understands the meaning of its beat,
It yields love, loyalty, and tenderness so sweet.
With a word from you, I am forever alive,
With a word from you, the full moon does thrive.

With a word from you, my tears transform into laughter,
And my heart melts, and my ribs part thereafter.
I hear the echo of your heart's beat in my soul's domain,
Don't ask how the world fares without you, in my joy and pain.

Your love's tempestuous winds have swept me away,
So pity me, for I belong to your love, come what may.
I came to you to hide from life's fears so dire,
As if torn apart, I said, "I love you," when your heart did inquire.

From you, I found more than love or mere admiration,
Before your lips utter, wounds and dreams find liberation.
Come closer, and wipe away the pain and sorrow,
Come closer, for in you, I see no tomorrow.

Come closer, I don't want to remember who I used to be,
For I've achieved the dream, I've achieved the fantasy.
Come closer, the closer you get, the nearer I come,
Don't ask how I survive without you, I've already won.

Come closer and hold me tight, come close to me,
So I forget the taste of sadness and misery.
Come closer, don't leave me, come ever near,
Come closer and don't forsake me, my dear.

Come closer, I want to hear the silence of your lips,
Don't ignore my heart, which to you, in longing, flips.
My feelings rush towards you like flowing waters grand,
How can I halt them, stirred by winds so wild and unplanned?

Was I alive before this moment, I wonder aloud,
Or was time harsh, with its heavy, relentless shroud?
Since I saw you, I gained a sense of being,
Together forever, I pray, in the All-Seeing.

How swiftly the times change their tune,
The evening turns lovely from a harsh, cold moon.
You gave my heart its life and song anew,
And it forgets all the pain it once knew.

No matter how many times I say "I love you" it's not enough,
No matter how far I gaze, my eyes reveal love's tough.
Your love shone upon me, a gleam of light so pure,
Like an oasis amidst the deepest, darkest moor.

Your love appeared like the dawn breaking the night,
It illuminated the wilderness with goodness, bright.
Come closer, I want to feel happiness and bliss,
Come closer, you're all life is, all my wish.

I love you, with faith that does sustain,
My heart shall love you, resisting the strain.
Forever I'll yearn for love's sweet refrain,
But will you love me, against nature's grain?

Humans are said to be made from forgetting,
Tell me you'll love me, no room for regretting.
Remember you hold water, while I'm thirsting,
Do not dismay, my heart is only bursting.

If you know your way, remember I'm lost,
If my love you're unsure of, listen to love's cost.
Know near or far, my love will emboss,
My life and existence, love's eternal gloss.

Have mercy on me, softer than time's trend,
Remember my love, but time's not a friend.
Look around, my love in every bend,
Clear as the sun, even to the blind, it sends.

My love for you, needs no proof or test,
Stay close, my dear, don't stray from my nest.
Do you want my heart, once bright, now stressed?
My love brightens worlds, brings joy, and zest.

Don't push me away, to the depths of despair,
Distance from you, the harshest affair.
Before you, love's taste was rare,
Don't be surprised, my love's fire flares.

You've taught my heart, forgiveness and grace,
Don't hesitate, in my heart, find your place.
The time is now, don't let it race,
Settle in, beloved, love's embrace.

Return to me, oh dearest of my life's delight,
Have mercy on my saddened heart, end my plight.

Do not ignite my sorrow, my endless woe,
Draw close to me, lessen my torment's flow.

How could I forsake you, abandon my existence?
You are all I wish for, my tears and persistence.

Nothing shall part us, not even death's decree,
Distance from you was my first calamity.

Our separation sheds my blood and tears anew,
Where can I flee, when you're my sky and my view?

You are all I desire in this worldly domain,
Do not stray, cause me more longing and pain.

Distance from you was my most bitter choice,
Yet returning to your embrace makes me rejoice.

Why do you distance your beloved eyes from mine?
Approaching you was all my heart did pine.

Gazing into your lovely eyes, my sole care,
Your sweet breath, my life, still fills the air.

You've taken your heart and eyes far from me,
Robbing me of all wealth, can't you see?

How do ships sail in your sea without a guide?
Away from your warmth, my nights grow wide.

I no longer see your cheeks, where have my roses gone?
When will this separation end, when will my moan?

When will your beautiful face illuminate my skies?
Who but you can soothe my heart, hush my cries?

Your love in my heart bore abundant fruit,
Your warm breath comforted, nights acute.

My pen wrote of your eyes, inspiring my words anew,
You were always the faithful beloved in dreams I pursue.

When will I reclaim the beauty of my days and the heroine of my tales?
Your beautiful eyes were my hope, return to me, let time unveil.

Where can I flee when you're my land and sky so vast?
You fill my days and nights, my thoughts everlast.
You brought to my life light, dispelled every dark,
More than myself, I love you, in loyalty, stark.

You draw close, seizing my heart with subtle art,
From you, I know naught but love's purest part.
In sickness, you're my cure, my healing balm,
My heart never tasted bitterness or harm.

You shielded my heart from deceit and woe,
In pride, it proclaims your love high and aglow.
Your love stormed my heart with beauty and grace,
My life's now a garden, in your love's embrace.

Once barren, now verdant, my life blooms anew,
Your love, my oasis, my water so true.
Without despair, my heart calls for thee,
Return to me, O my beloved, my plea.

Without your love, my heart turns to dust,
Life without you, mere agony and distrust.
Only in your eyes, I find solace and rest,
Your love pierced my heart, I am truly blessed.

Your name, the sweetest melody I know,
Deserves from me, love's eternal flow.
Have mercy on my heart, don't tear it apart,
Your love, my everything, my beating heart.

Do not forsake my heart, in anguish, it cries,
Distance from you, my deepest sighs.
If you forget my love, deny not my faith,
Your beauty's my solace in night's lonely wraith.

Your presence, a comfort in shadows so deep,
Have mercy on my heart, let it not weep.
For without you, my sky, my earth is bare,
In your love, I find refuge, beyond compare.

In twilight's sorrow, shadows start to creep,
My heart's lament, a dirge for dreams to keep.

As stars cascade, in the vast expanse above,
I mourn the loss of our once-binding love.

Each night I search the heavens for a sign,
A glimmer of hope in this bleak design.

But silence reigns, a cruel and callous jest,
In solitude, my soul becomes unrest.

The echo of your laughter haunts my days,
A ghostly presence in life's tangled maze.

Memories like shards, they pierce and they rend,
In the shattered remains, my heart does bend.

The void you left, an abyss of despair,
In its depths, I find no solace, no repair.

Was I but a fleeting shadow in your light,
Lost in the darkness of this endless night?

Questions unanswered, linger in the air,
A silent plea, a whispered, desperate prayer.

Do you feel the ache of this separation,
Or am I condemned to this desolation?

The bonds we forged, now fractured and torn,
Left adrift, in the tempest, I am worn.

In solitude's embrace, I bear the weight,
Of love's cruel twist, of our bitter fate.

Yet still, a flicker of hope remains,
A beacon in the darkness, amidst the chains.

For in the depths of despair, I find grace,
A glimmer of light in this desolate place.

Though you may never return, my love,
I'll carry your memory to the stars above.

For in the echoes of our once-shared song,
I find the strength to carry on, though you're gone.

I love you and full of belief
You are always my relief

I always long for your tenderness
You are always my sole happiness

I never forget a word you once said
I keep it deep in my heart and head

Since you left, my sun was taken
I heard my backbone broken

Was I truly your soulmate
Was I sincerely your fate?

You just left with no excuse
Grief has surely won, I lose

Are you happy now after departure
Are you happy to see me in torture?

When you left, you took my soul away
Despair kills me, my heart is the prey

Since you left, flowers have lost their scent
You instantly broke my heart with no hint

Keep my chain around your neck, our love token
Once taken off, be sure my heart will be broken

No one will give you love like mine
My heart is shaped in matchless design

You will be sure of my love one day
I will be waiting for you every day

For the first time I feel I am fortunate
God gave me the best gift to be my fate

With love water, you irrigate my soul
My heart grew in love with your call

I don't exaggerate, I weave my love into verse
I just make the left of my chest your universe

Only you have the key to live there forever
My heart beats only when we are together

Your love buds blossom on my heart's wall
On my chest, the letters of your name  crawl

Your love pumps blood into my veins
You are the delicate breeze when it rains

Because of you, in life I have faith and belief
In your tender hug, I found comfort and relief

Forever, for you I am ready to wait
I never get bored at your heart's gate

If I have you, all my dreams come true
Between your arms, I never feel blue

I carry you everywhere I go deep in my chest
I hold the first letter of your name tight in my fist

I love all your flaws except for your absence
You enthral my heart, soul and every sense

Any day passes without you is meaningless
My life and heart stop, I frankly confess

Don't stay away for long
You're my life's tone and song

I feel astray, I get lost
You're the one I love most

Your eyes are my compass in the vast space
I belong to your arms, they are my home, my place

When you leave, you take my breath away
My sun sets down, none but you makes my day

When you go and leave me alone
I feel I am a dark sky with no moon

Come back quickly to my desperate heart
Give it the life you take the time you depart

My eyes see none but you whether far or near
Come closer and eliminate every fear

If you think your absence doesn't matter
Look at the rain to see the tears my eyes scatter

On seeing you, I  breathed through my heart
Please, stay there forever and never depart

You have no eye lids, they are two lips
Where a flood of tenderness drips

Take me into the deep well of your embrace
Where I see nothing except for your face

Let me closer to breathe your sighs
Believe in my heart, it never lies

In your presence, I see none but you
I taste that happiness I never knew

You're my God's most precious gift
For you, anything can be easily left

I only feel alive in the shrine of your eyes
My heart dances, sings and always flies

Never be away even for just a few minutes
Being together my feelings have no limits

Your smile always makes me on cloud nine
Our eternal love contract is ready to sign

For the heart that breathes you, never be late
Let's make our happiness and draw our fate

If only you knew how much I love you
You wouldn't ask for a proof or a clue

If only you knew how I feel
You would help my heart heal

If only you were here in front of my eyes
You would know where my happiness lies

If only you knew my heart follows your steps
You would hold me between your eyes' lips

If only you looked into my eyes so deep
You wouldn't leave my heart in your absence weep

If only you could see my soul
You would hear its desperate call

If only you could touch my hand
You would definitely understand

If only you could feel my pains
You would see yourself in my veins

If only we met a hundred years before
I would still love you much more

If only we were together now and forever
I would find peace longing for years to discover
