The Queen of my Heart
Walid Abdallah May 2021
My mother, the queen of my heart
Eternal love that will never depart

You gave me life and soul
Your name is on my heart wall

I see the world with your eyes
You are the true love that never lies

You feel my pain before I say
I love you more every day

Whenever I feel lonely and desperate
You're always there, you're never late

Your love is always there for free
Without you, I would never be

Mom was the first word I said
The first thought in my head

You have every beat my heart sends
You're the backbone that never bends

When you smile, I feel secure
When I am sick, you are the cure

Stay with me and never say bye
Without you, my heart will die

Happy new year
Walid Abdallah Dec 2022
You are my dream for every new year
Being together, there is nothing to fear

Every new year, you're my hope and desire
You are the love that will never expire

Every new year, you're the beginning and start
Your love is deep rooted into my heart

Every day with you is a heavenly bless
My love increases, will never be less

You gave me the hope and reason to fight
You are the moon that illuminates my night

Let's celebrate our new year together
Let's make a love story that lasts forever

Together we can change the face of universe
Everything will be blessed, no room for a curse

There will be a new world in the new year
All living things smile when your are near

Every new year, stay close to plant love everywhere
Every new year, you have all my love and care

Every new year, I live for you
My love river will always flow

For you
Walid Abdallah Jul 2020
For you, I am really ready to fall
For you, I give my life and soul

For you, I will give my past away
For you, I always care and pray

For you, my heart always beats and calls
For you, the earth orbits and the rain falls

For you, birds flutter, sing and fly
For you, rivers flood and never dry

For you, the sun rises every day
For you, roses blossom without delay

For you, planets keep orbiting the sun
For you, days and nights are full of fun

For you, plants and trees dance in spring
For you, only true love my heart will bring

For you, the moon illuminates the night
For you, the sun becomes very bright

For you, stars decorate the sky
For you, I have wings to fly

For you, the beach hugs the sea
For you, only true love you will see

Come
Walid Abdallah Aug 2021
Come to love you for a night
Telling you everything right

Come to greet you with a kiss
Which a thousand articles fail to express

Come to hug you like a child
And lighten the burden you hide

Come to die in you to survive
At  a point where fancy can never arrive

Come to love you for once and make you my poem
Where separation will never bloom

If only you knew
Walid Abdallah Aug 2023
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

Egypt’s Grief
Walid Abdallah Jul 2018
Egypt, we left you in the nightfrost
where winter stormed your shaky frame
and Heaven learned to weep.
I see in your face
the longing for shelter,
how you smile despite the scars,
and the sun seeps up through night.
Behind lashes, the ruin of tears.
For now, pride and revolution
hold back more.

Driven by the cold, lines of exiles
settle in emptiness. In this stingey age,
the young who covet crusts of bread
left for poverty long ago.
Your blood is lost among the cracked skulls
of women and elders, lost
in ******’ perfume,
lost in a glass of wine.
The Arab nation can’t blame us
for being sick of the drums of brotherhood.

Beloved invalid, what happened to beauty?
Where are the colorful clothes,
and the perfume that filled all creation?
We fleeced it all, even vows and modesty,
left you jilted in the pit of our ignorance.

O holy land that still and forever summons hope for the pilgrim
O rose through which we embrace grief
O love that we adore in purity as well as sin

When we are discarded by darkness,
you are the one whose mouth is bright.
Don’t abandon your perfume.
Tomorrow the sky alive again with your scent
and I will feel your body rise once more.

Come to us, beloved,
in the tattered age of strays.
Come for us, inner haven,  
in a time of tyrants.
I got used to crying as soon as I started.
Now I can’t stop.
While a glass shatters, grief persists
and purity is a rarity,
but your beauty beams and hums,
like autumn blazing on through winter winds.

We faithful children witness springs flowing through frost,
the scent of yearning, and the perfume of blood.
Your people, Egypt, arc and seam the generations,
so don’t ask anyone else for reconstruction,
don’t cry over what you have given,
and don’t look back in grief.
Be mouth and eye and voice as you always have
since the earth’s first secret,
and forgive us, O temple of the soul, O black
delta soil, forgive us for God’s sake.
A translated poem from Arabic by Andy Fogle and I of Farouk Goweda's احزان مصر  and was published in the Image Journal in USA 2017.

Nowhere
Walid Abdallah Aug 2020
Although you aren't in front of my eye
You are all what I see on earth and sky

Let's escape far away to nowhere
You, our love and I are only there

Away from everything and everyone
Where we have our moon and sun

With you our nowhere is everywhere
making it our heaven of love and care

Where the moon illuminates with our love
And birds sing our story so high  above

Rain drops dance while they fall
Responding to our lasting love call

Snow crowns  the mountain tops
Dew decorates roses and never stops

The wind creates gentle breeze
Only pure love we can breathe

It is heaven whenever you are nearby
An angel coming straight from sky

Stars sparkle in the universe at night
Lightening the sky with our love light

Clouds of love slide happily in the air
Everlasting green dresses, trees wear

Bees move from flower to another
Sending us love, seeing us together

When you touch water, it turns into honey
Freezing cold weather becomes sunny

Your touch gives me strength and power
To plant the vast desert to blossom and flower

You are the ray of light when it is dark
In deep silence, you are the only lark


Let's go so far to our nowhere together
Where impossible becomes possible forever

Where your love starts with no end
Only grows bigger to extend

I have nowhere but your embrace
To be my eternal destination and place

A New Being
Walid Abdallah Jun 2018
Let me drown into your sea of feeling
Give me a new identity, a new being

Love me forever my dear
No longer see but you, I swear

Let me escape to your arms
Hide me of the wild world harms

Don't ever forget me, please
Or all my heartbeats will cease

I promise to love you much more
Just give me the chance to prove how I adore

I hate the smell of being away from you
Terrible feelings inside me to flow

Don't ever leave me alone
The sky can't be deserted by its moon

I always dream of being close to your sigh
As this happens I have wings to fly

Oh, my dear feel my suffer
Which easily disappear when being together

A touch of your hand makes me a live again
Come closer, my love relieves my pain

In my heart I have your love and forever will exist
In a faithful mind and a sincere chest

Away from you, the rose will wither
Only for missing a loyal lover

When I feel you by my side
I forget my ego and pride

Together forever we will remain
To set an example of love that no words can explain

A heart which is full of captive emotions aspire to release
I only exist to cheer you up and please

I fell in love the very moment I saw you
You taught my hear how to blow

Don't leave me lonely so desperate
After the wonderful world you create

Every moment together in my heart I keep
That's the only harvest in my life to reap

Whenever you pass by my sight
My eyes keep holding you so tight

Stay in my life forever
Let's grow old together

My Rose
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.

الحب و النسيان
Walid Abdallah Nov 2021
أحبك و يملائني الأيمان
أن قلبي سيظل يحبك و يقاوم النسيان
سأظل دوما أشتاق إلي هذا الحب و الحنان
و لكن هل ستظلي تحبيني و تخالفي طبع الانسان؟
حيث يقال أن الانسان قد خلق من النسيان
قولي لي أنك ستظلي تحبيني، أعطيني الأمان
و تذكري أنك تملكين الماء دوما و أنا العطشان
فلا تجزعي مني وأرحمي قلبي الولهان
فأذا كنت تعرفي طريقك،  فتذكري أنني العاشق الحيران
إذا كنت لا تعرفي مقدار حبي، أنصتي الي دقات قلبي السهران
و أعلمي أن قربك أو بعدك لن يغير حبي فالأمر سيان
فحبك لي كل الحياة و كل الكيان
هلا رحمتي حالي و كنت أقل قسوة من الزمان
و تذكري أن حبي لك باق و لكن العمر فان
أنظري حولك تجدي حبي في كل مكان
فحبي لك كوضوح الشمس يراه حتي العميان
فحبي لك لا يحتاج إلي دليل أو برهان
لا تبعدي عني أيتها الغاليه، لا تعلمي قلبك الظلم و الطغيان
هل تريدي قلبي الناضر بحبك يصير ذبلان؟
فحبك لي يسعد الدنيا و ينير الأكوان
فلا تبعدي عني و تلقي بقلبي في بئر الحرمان
فالبعد عنك أحر نار و أقسي هوان
من قبلك لم أكن أعرف طعم الحب أو الهزيان
فلا تتعجبي من نار حبي فإنك لم تري منها سوي الدخان
لقد علمتي قلبي التسامح و الغفران
فلا تترددى و اسكنى قلبى لقد ان الاوان

Black
Walid Abdallah Jun 2020
I have always been called black
Before my eyes and behind my back

I always try to hide my sufferings and tears
I have to stand more than anyone bears

I didn’t create  myself nor my color
That becomes my weakness and their power

I may be black from the outside
But I have the whitest heart inside

My color has become the curse of my own race
On earth, we no longer have a place

I am cursed in every place I go
I always feel so little and low

I was born only to suffer
My feeling does not matter

For any crime, I am the first to blame
The Nigro did it and call my name

My soul is imprisoned within the dark skin
My own color has become my own sin

I hope people will see the beauty in my heart
And stop excluding me and asking me to depart

My heart breaks a thousand times every day
No body cares about me, no attention they pay

I am a caged bird left lonely in a rainy night
With broken wings, with no power to fight

Outcast and cursed that is how I feel
In front of their vanity I must kneel

I hope they will understand we complete each other
We were created to reconstruct the earth together

We have the same soul but different colors
We have charming scent from various flowers

I dream of a world in which we are all the same
And only a human being becomes our name

We should teach our children the power of tolerance
And root out every envy, hatred and intolerance

I love and respect everyone on this earth
I have been taught this since my birth
In memory of George Flyod who was brutally killed by a white police officer in cold blood in the USA.
300 · May 8
Why You?
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.

جمرة الحب
Walid Abdallah Nov 2021
أشتقت إليك ياحبيبة عمري
سمائي المظلمة تنتظرك يا قمري
أحببتك وأمتلكتي قلبي وهذا قدرك و قدري
عيونك الجميلة منقوشة في قلبي و صدري
إنتهي الظلام في قلبي فأنت غدي وفجري
إقتربي مني لتطفئ ناري و جمري
إرحمي إشتياقي لك و سهري
إخترت عيونك لتكون طريقي و دربي
و للوصول لقلبك الجميل تضرعت لربي
لا تبعدي عني أيتها الغالية لا تتسببي في قهري
فأنت في صحراء الدنيا كل ظلالي و شجري
أشتاق لروئيتك دوما  حتي وأنت قربي
لم أعد أطيق البعد عنك و لا أطيق صبري
قالت لي لقد خلقت كي لاأستريح
خلقت لأكون في مهب الريح
قالت لم أعرف السعادة يوما
لم أعرف من الدنيا سوي ظلما و ألما
قالت أشعر بالحزن دوما
كأن الحزن خلق لي ، كأن في القلب سهما
أحبك ولكن‎ ‎قلبي ينزف دما
أحبك و لكن أخاف عقاب ربي
أحبك و لكني لا أستطيع أن أخفي ما في قلبي
‎ ‎أنت كل أهلي و ناسي
ولكن هذا الزمان ظالم و قاسي
لا أستطيع أبعد عنك يا حبي
فأنت كل عقلي و لبي
قلت لها لا أريد أن أري دموعك بعد الأن
فالحياه ليست يا حبيبتي كلها أحزان
فدموعك ما هي سوي نار و حريق
ما هي سوي جرح في قلبي و لكنه عميق
قلت أحبك و لاأستطيع أن أخفي هذا الغرام
قالت لن أنساك فحبي لك أقوي من الأيام
أخاف علي هذا الحب من كل الناس
عقلي يرفض و لكن قلبي يريد هذا الأحساس
قالت لا أستطيع أن أغضب منك يا غرامي
لا أستطيع و إن كان في ذلك إيلامي
قالت لا شئ جميل في هذه الحياه
قالت لن يريحني سوي الوفاة
قلت مهما كانت الحياة قاسية
سيكون هناك دوما مشاعر حانية
يمكن أن نشعر بالحزن نعم بعض الأوقات
و لكن لا يجب أن نقضي الزمان في أوجاع و أهات
الدنيا جميلة رغم اللأم و الجراح
مهما طال الليل لابد من وجود صباح
يجب أن يكون هناك شوك لنشعر بالورد الجميل
لابد من وجود النهار بعد ظلمة الليل الطويل
الحياه جميلة دوما في وجود الحبيب
مهما كانت الجراح من غيره الطبيب
قالت لن أشعر بالحزن أبدا وأنت بجواري
فأنت قلبي ووطني و داري
قالت لي بدونك أنا جسد بلا روح
و قلبي بدونك تملأه الجروح
هل سنبقي دوما سويا ، هل هذا هو القدر ، هل هذا هو المصير؟
هل سنجد غير الموت  يوما من نصير؟

ﺣﺒﻴﺒﺘﻲ
Walid Abdallah Apr 2023
يا أحلى إمرأة في الدنيا
يا عطراً يسكنُ في زهري
يا من يرتاحُ لها قلبي
يا حُباً يرقدُ في صدري
أطياف هواكِ تُطاردُني
فأشيدُ هناك لها قصري
والقُبلةُ نحوكِ أبعثُها
ومكان خدُودكِ لا تدري
فتطيرُ إليكِ مُسافرةً
تشتاقُ إليكِ لذا تجري
تختارُ خدودكِ تسكُنها
فيفوحُ عبيركِ يا طيري
سلَّمتُ إليكِ هنا قلبي
وتركتُ إليكِ أنا أمري
وعرفتُ بأنكِ فاتنتي
وإليكِ أصوغُ صبا شِعري
يا أحلى إمرأةٍ في الدنيا
يا من يزدادُ بها قدري
أهواكِ ، أُحبكِ من قلبي
أهواكِ ، أُحبكِ يا عمري
Walid Abdallah Mar 2020
Why have you come from nothingness?
I have come to cause death and sadness?

Why would you like to destroy and ****?
People trade in one another and sell

Why do you appear now?
To make savage people bow

Are you happy with causing pain?
You created me, I can’t explain

Do you know people hate your nature?
People invented every pain and torture

When will you leave us alone?
When I finish my job soon

Do you come to change destiny?
I come to eliminate every tyranny

Why do you **** the innocent?
Every war has victims’ percent

What do you really need?
I want to implant peace seed

What do you think you can really do?
I already stopped all the wars flow

What else can you do to impose quietness?
I made all people equal, I imposed fairness

Aren’t you afraid of America, China or England?
I already beat all their troops on every land

What about Germany, Russia and Italy?
They are nothing, I am the absolute reality

What is your final message?
Make peace your only passage

What is your final need?
To end your ego and greed

When will you show some mercy?
When good prevails, and evil must flee
In memory for Covid-19 pandemic that swept thousands of lives all over the world.

You are different

When you speak
When you break

You are different

When you care
When you bear

You are different

When you cry
When you sigh

You are different

When you shout
When you doubt

You are different

When you sneeze
When you breathe

When you complain

Each Time
Walid Abdallah Aug 2021
Each time I see you
I fall for you

How many hearts should I possess?
To explain my love to you and express

Each time I see you before my eyes
I love you again, ask my heart it never lies

I have only one heart to fall for you
You have the heartbeats that flow

You make my day night and my night day
I mean every and each word I say

You deserve the love of the whole universe
You deserve every emotion and feeling I possess

I spent all my life before you in vain
I wasted it in wandering bearing my pain

You appeared like a clear sky
Eliminated each pain and cry

You relieved all the pains I once felt
Only for you my heart and soul melt

Each time I see you
My heart shouts "I love you"

Addiction
Walid Abdallah Apr 2022
You have become my addiction
Much better than any prediction

My day is never complete without you
You're the dream my heart aspires to draw

My day never starts without seeing your face
Your heart has become my only place

I can't resist the magic in your eyes
My love for you is an ocean that never dries

Your smile relieves all my pains
My heart is thirsty waiting for your rains

Your voice has become my favorite music
My love for you excelled any kind of logic

You have become the only dream I aspire to
My happiness has personified into you

Into your eyes I easily get lost
Your hug has become my only host

Forever is never enough to love my rose
Your love is the only thing I am afraid to lose

Come closer darling, you're my addiction
I need your hug, I need my injection

If you will, you can
Walid Abdallah Oct 2019
If you will, you can reach your goals
Man with ambitions never falls

Go for your dream, be ready to fight
Beat your weakness, overcome your night

Always live happily and dream big
Make dreams a crown to be your wig

Let your actions make your noise
Always make success your voice

No room for the weak on this land
Plant your dreams even in rock or sand

Create wings and learn to fly
Conquer your fears and never cry

Wander about the earth to find yourself
Never give up, never put your dreams on a shelf

Never waste your time in regret
Your dreams are closer than you expect

When you fall down, stand up at once
Everyone must taste failure at least once

Success after tiredness is very sweet
Set plans to create your feat

Surround yourself with the optimistic
Get rid of the nasty and the pessimistic

In order to reach the success shore
You need to cross the deep moor

If you will, you can
****** your dream, be a man

Lion
Walid Abdallah Mar 2022
I am the lion and this is my land
Everything kneels with one move of my hand

I have all the strength and power
I defeat any opponent in less than an hour

I wander about the whole earth
I never suffer from any kind of dearth

In front of me, everything kneels
I am the fear any creature feels

Despite my power, sometimes I feel weak
In your arms I don't fear to break

When I am in the sadness state
You are  my only soulmate

I am not afraid to feel weak in your arms
You are always the only heart that never harms

I always run for you to feel secure
In your hug I find true love so pure

Whenever I don't need anyone
You're always there my only sun

In your presence, I never feel lonely
My heart always needs your love truly

In front of my queen, I feel helpless
My love all the words fail to express

My lioness, you are the only army I own
You are the crown on my head and my throne

Only in your arms I find my rest
I forget I am the king of the forest

Wall
Walid Abdallah Aug 2022
Before every dream, there is a wall
So high, we long to collapse or fall

I believe, one day this wall will be gone
We will unite together and have our own sun

Even if this wall separates us today
I will keep looking for the hope ray

Only to see that smile on your face
Drown into your hug, my warm place

Making up for all the hard days passed before
Showing you my love and care more and more

I dream about your smile day and night
Having you in my hug and before my sight

You are away in place, but in my heart you reside
You live in my mind and eyes can not hide

You are the first and the last thought on my mind
You are the only love my heart was struggling to find

Your love gives me strength and power to survive
A touch of your hand makes me feel alive

You have become the secret of my happiness
You have become the love all words fail to express

When our hearts really want, fate will respond
It is a matter of time before our eternal bond

I believe the patient should be rewarded in the end
That is God's promise and all the wishes my heart send

One day, we will be together forever
And start our journey that ends at never

Lonely
Walid Abdallah Nov 2020
I always feel lonely
I do everything solely

In silence I always suffer
I shed tears like a river

No body is near to feel
Only to my pains I kneel

Life goes around and around
Only high fences people found

I wander about the earth to get lost
Into a deep tender heart to host

In this life I feel deeply strange
People aren't stable, they change

Although people are around
I see them but hear no sound

I see people like unseen ghosts
Only bitter tears my heart hosts

I was born to be lonely on this land
With no body close to understand

I am a weeping moon in vast space
Missing a warm hug to embrace

Stars sparkle around without any care
Leaving the moon with pains to bear

The moon has a dark and bright side
But its pains are always there in tide

The moon leads a life to please others
In a field of pains my heart gathers

The moon is always there in the sky
Lightening the earth hiding  its cry

When time comes and people feel its pain
And finds understanding heart to explain

I dream not to feel lonely anymore
And feel happiness I never tasted before

Will that day come soon
And that night becomes noon?

غدر الزمان
Walid Abdallah Feb 2020
ولكن
كيف احافظ عليكي واواجه غدر الزمان؟
الزمان الذي استحال الي لهيب ونيران
كان حبك ولازال اخر الاحلام
كيف احميكي اذا ماغدرت بنا الايام؟
اذا كان مقدرا الانعيش احباب
فالافضل ان اتحمل انا العذاب
ارحلي عني واتركيني اواجه قدرى
ولكن خدى قلبي معك كي لا اشعر بالم في صدري
تهون الام الدنيا ما دمت سعيدة
تهون الام الدنيا مادمت بعيدة
لا ترافقيني الي مستقبل كامل الظلام
الي مستقبل خلفته النيران والالام
تطاردني الاف الهموم والاشباح
اسمع جراحي تعوي في انين وصياح
امام عيوني...احلامي ادركها التحلل والتأكل
ليس هناك ما يدعو الي الامل والتفاؤل
حبك لازال اخر طموح...اخر امل
لكن الهموم ذئاب تطاردني مثل الحمل
كل ما تبقي من احلامي بات تراب
الالم هو ما تبقي من العذاب
اري السماء ستار اسود كئيب
والارض تحت اقدامي اشواك ولهيب
لايوجد سواك ..امل ..في هذا الزمان
هلا رحمتي القلب الذي لاجلك نزف الحنان
لاح حبك فجعل قلبي ينبض من جديد
بعد سنوات من الالم والحزن الشديد
ماذا فعل قلبي لك...هل اساء؟
فقد كنتي له الارض والسماء
لماذا جعلتي عالمي غاية في السواد؟
لماذا تصري علي الفراق ..علي البعاد؟
ماذا جعل قلبك بهذه القسوة والكبرياء؟
هل ضاع الحب...هل ان البكاء؟
هل فجاة احترف قلبك الجراح؟
القيتني في جب لايشقه صباح
من اخطأ في حق الاخر...من الجاني؟
من تحول فجأة من محب الي مختال اناني؟
لقد دمرتي قلبي ...فاستحال الي اشلاء
سحبتي الارض من تحتي ومن فوق رأسى السماء
هل هذا حال الدنيا...هل هذا حال الزمان؟
بعد الحب..ان الفراق..ان النسيان؟
هل يستحق قلبي هذا منك وانت الحياه؟
بعد العشق والغرام الم ومعاناه
تحملت منك الكثير ولاجل عيناكي ساتحمل اكثر
الام الدنيا تزداد قسوة ولكن بعدك انت اخطر
منك انت وكنت اعز احبابي
اخاف عليك من نفسك وتأثري عذابي
هل يجب ان اقسو عليك لتعرفي من انا؟
هل تتحملين عذابي ..كما انا هنا؟
كيف كنت تخفين هذا القلب...هذا الحجر؟
نعك كنت تخفيه خلف هذا الوجه..هذا القمر
هل ان الوقت ليسقط القناع؟
هل ان الوقت لتذبحي قلبي من الخداع؟
ما كنت اريد ان ابقي ليوم كهذا
لاسمع منك هذا الرعد ولا اعرف لماذا؟
هل كنتي تنتظرين قتلي باشتياق؟
هل كنتي تريدي ان تري قلبي وسط الاحتراق؟
لماذا هذا الغدر ...هذا الانتقام؟
لماذا هذا الخداع....لماذا هذه الام؟
سوف ياتي اليوم واري عيناك الدامية
واري مشاعري لك ...مشاعر بالية
سيأتي اليوم قريبا فانتظري
لا تنتظري انتقام مني ولكن اكثر هجري
اقسي عقاب ان اتركك وحيدة
تتطلامك امواج الحياة وانت شريدة
لتعرفي قيمة ما كان بين يديكي واضاعتيه
وتندمي علي قلبي البرئ الذي غدرا قتلتيه
لاتقتربي ...لا تقتربي مني
لقد رحلت كل مشاعر الحب عني
مهما يحدث ابدا ...لن اسامح
لن اسامح قلب ظالم جارح
انت اخترتي يوما...اخترتي الطريق
اخترتي سعادتك...واخترتي لي الحريق
لم يعد لي قلبا لاحبك من جديد
لم يعد يدق لاجلك هذا الفقيد
قلبي بين اضلعي ...لازال
ولكن حبك داخله...مضى و زال
لم اعد اذكر عيناكي الغادرة
استراح قلبي وعيوني الساهرة
مثلك الان..ابحث عن راحة لفؤادي
ليس عندك ..وقد صرتي احد الاعادي
اذهبي عني ...لم اعد اراكي
وقلبي الذي كان يشتاق ..بدأ ينساكي
الحب لازال داخلي ...لازال بصدري
ولكن لاخري تستحق...وهذا قدرك وقدري

اتيك
وإني آتيك
كما يأتي الطفل لوالديه

آتيك من حربي ومن تعبي
ومن ليلي ومن أرقي

آتيك من التشرُّد
أبحث بين يديك عن المأوى

كما يحفظ الناس طريقهم للمنازل
حفِظت طريقي إليك

و مايزال وجهك سيد الاطمئنان
رغم الغياب المر

Travel
Walid Abdallah Nov 2020
I am going to travel chasing my dream
Crossing every ocean, sea and stream

I am determined to achieve every goal
I am going to stand up every time I fall

My heart refuses to settle down on earth
With every travel I make I get a new birth

My wings are born to flutter so high
My feathers promise to visit every sky

I never get tired, I never get old
I pursue every dream I once called

On every land I leave a deep mark
In the vast space I am a singing lark

My sun always sets to rise fully again
Spreading warmth, eliminating every pain

Life is too short to waste in one land
I travel to touch each grain of sand

Travel never stops teaching
Life never stops preaching

Every new land has its own magic
Charming beauty sweeps every logic

I was born a pharaoh to master the whole earth
Everlasting traveler since my ancestors' birth

If time went back
Walid Abdallah Nov 2020
If time went back, I would have a life
I wouldn't suffer from a lifelong strife

I would hold your hand in the rain
And hide my tears flood and pain

I would look into your eyes and say
Your presence nearby makes my day

I would hold you forever
And to leave you,  never

I would hear your heart beats song
And dwell your heart where I belong

I would see or hear no one but you
Only for you, my heart would blow

I would taste the honey of your lips
And touch the highest mountains tips

I would drown into your hug sea
And plant an evergreen leafy tree

Birds would have their nests there
And keep singing the love they bear

Butterflies would decorate its leaves
Where love is born and never leaves

Our love would give life to everything
Only happiness, fate would bring

There would never be a heartbreak
You would always stay for my sake

Flowers would dance and swing
Bees would rejoice and sing

Your touch would make me alive again
And pacify the heart knew nothing but pain

Waves of the ocean would be calm and quiet
Due to the love born from the first sight

We would never separate
We would make our fate

Mint Tea
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.

The Garden of my Love
Walid Abdallah Mar 2022
You are the garden of love I have dreamed about
You are the secret of happiness without any doubt

You are my trees, flowers and butterflies
You are the river of life that never dries

You are my birds that fill life with singing
You are my heartbeats that never stop ringing

I need to spend the rest of my life in your shade
I need to enjoy your true love that will never fade

Between your branches I found true love
On your trees tops I saw rare birds above

You are my love garden on earth
Your Flowers give me a new birth

Your lovely scents give me the air I breathe
In your cool shade I enjoy the lovely breeze

Whenever I close my eyes
I feel your love and warm sighs

Away from my garden I feel lost
Your heart is always the best host

My love garden is a beautiful Rose
I will live there forever, I suppose

Love and Forgetting
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.

An Elegy to a knight
Walid Abdallah Dec 2020
My deep condolences to a noble knight
Whose soul ascended heaven at night

Rivers of tears are not enough to shed
For a gentle heart and a face of a kid

You were always a kind-hearted man
Everyone knows you becomes your fan

You always left good memories with everyone
You left life without a setting sun

Your thoughts exist everywhere
Nobody will forget your care

You planted love in every heart you met
That's why your sun will never set

Nobody is going to forget your smiling face
Your memory decorates every place

Everyone prays for you day and night
You took with your every joy and light

Although you are no longer in front of our eyes
You are now the celebration of all the skies

Everyone laments the gentle heart
Who suddenly decided to depart

Angels really belong to the sky
Whose memories will never dry

Rest in peace our gentle knight
You are always there before our sight

أغلي من حياتي
Walid Abdallah Nov 2021
عودي إلي ياأغلي من حياتي
إرحمي قلبي الحزين و توجعاتي
لا تشعلي حزني و معاناتي
إقتربي مني ولا تزيدي مأساتي
كيف أتخلي عنك كيف أتخلي عن حياتي؟
فأنت كل ما أتمني فأنت دمعي وإبتسماتي
لن يفرق بيننا شئ حتي وإن كان مماتي
إن البعد عنك كان أولي سيئاتي
إن فراقنا أذرف دمي و دمعاتي
أين أهرب منك ؟ فأنت أرضي وكل سمواتي
وأنت كل ما أريد في دنياتي
لا تبعدي عني و تكوني سبب حسراتي
كان البعد عنك أصعب قرارتي
و لكن العوده لأحضانك أسعد لحظاتي
فلماذا تبعدي عني عيونك الحبيباتي ؟
كان التودد إليك كل هواياتي
ولازال النظر لعيونك الجميله كل إهتماماتي
مازلت أحن لأنفاسك العطره و التي هي كل حياتي
أبعدت قلبك وعيونك عني سلبت كل ثرواتي
كيف تسير في بحرك سفيناتي؟
بعيدا عن حضنك الدافئ ما أطولها ليلاتي
لم أعد أري وجنتيك فأين خبأت ورداتي؟
متي ينتهي هذا البعاد ،متي تنتهي أهاتي؟
متي يعود وجهك الجميل لينير سمواتي؟
من سواكي يروي قلبي و يخفف أناتي؟
كان حبك في قلبي كل ثمراتي
كانت أنفاسك الدافئه هي أنسي في الليالي الطويلاتي
كتب عن عيونك قلمي وألهمت كل كتاباتي
كنت دوما الحبيبه المخلصه في أحلامي البريئاتي
متي أسترد جميله عمري و بطله كل رواياتي ؟
كانت عيونك الجميله أملي فإعيدي إلي أيامي و سنواتي

أرضي و سمائي
Walid Abdallah Nov 2021
أين أهرب منك وأنت أرضي و سمائي
أفكر فيك طوال نهاري و مسائي
أشرقت علي حياتي في نور و ضيائي
أحببتك أكثر من نفسي  بإخلاص وولائي
إقتربتي مني وملكتي قلبي بدهائي
لم أجد منك إلا كل الحب و الوفائي
فإذا مرض قلبي يوما كنت أنت كل دوائي
لذلك لم يعرف قلبي قط طعم الدائي
صنت قلبي من كل غدر و بلائي
نطق قلبي بحبك في شموخ و كبريائي
إجتاح حبك قلبي في جمال و بهائي
حياتي أصبحت جنة خضرائي
بعدما كانت أرض صفرائي
فلا تتعجبي فلم يعد قلبي صحرائي
لقد كان حبك دوما كل ذادي و مائي
بلا يأس يناديك قلبي عودي يا سمرائي
بعيدا عن حبك يكن قلبي كالكفرائي
بعيدا عنك حياتي لا تكن سوي ألام و بلائي
لا يرتاح قلبي سوي بالقرب من عيونك التي هي شفائي
إخترق حبك قلبي فكان كل السعادة و الهنائي
فأسمك عندي هو أحلي وأفضل الاسمائي
و لا يستحق مني سوي الحب و الثنائي
فارحمي قلبي و لا تمزقيه إلي أشلائي
لان حبك كل ما لي وأفضل الاشيائي
لا تهجري قلبي و تتركيه في إستيائي
فإن البعد عنك أشر وأقسي بلائي
فإذا لم تتذكري حبي فلا تنكري وفائي
فإن صورتك الجميلة هي أنسي في الليالي الطويلة و الخلائي
و طيفك الجميل هو رفيقي في الساعات الظلمائي
فإرحمي قلبي الولهان فلا توجد أرض بلا سمائي

You are the dream that inhabited my mind, I swear
Say you love me, just once, then disappear

My Land and Sky
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.

Don't think
Walid Abdallah Apr 2023
Don't think that I love you the same way as I write
I am a poet but when writing about our love I burn with no light

Don't think that writing about our love can ever express
It is only worried smoke of the fire that leaving me in a mess

Feelings can't be measured by a look, a touch or a word that my tongue forms

There is a big difference between what we hide and reveal in feelings, insomnia, and storms

انت الحياة
Walid Abdallah Jan 2020
لازلت احمل بين اضلعي قلبا حنون
قلبا عشق الحب لاجلك وعشق الكون
هل خلق الله في وجهك قمرا؟
كلما ابصرته تحولت حجرا
ففي وجودك لا اري سواكي
وتتردد في جنبات نفسي كلمة اهواكي
ما كنت اعرف معني هذا الاحساس
فصرت احترق حبا..التمس عذر الناس
وجدت الحب في البحر العميق في عيناكي
فلا اقوي علي النجاة منه يا ملاكي
كلما اغوص ازداد عشقا واملا
فاغوص اكثر واكثر كأنما اثقلني جبلا
بحرا من الهوي يفيض من عيونك
فأدعو لي الله ان يصونك
رفقا بي لا اقوي علي هذا الهيام
والا اعطني القدرة كي احتمل هول هذه الاحلام
هلا رددتي لي بصري وسمعي
وافصحتي انه ليس حلما وهدئت من روعي
احبك..احبك قبل ان ينطقها قلبي تنطقها شفتاي الف مرة
فلا تتعجبي كيف اخرجت الكفراء الف ثمرة
فقط من جمال عيناكي ايتها الغالية
عرفت الهوي والمشاعر الحانية
ففي عينيكي يرسو بحر الظلماتي
رفقا بقلبي...رفقا بشراعاتي
عرف قلبي لاجلك معني الخفقان
فأثمر عشقا واخلاصا وحنان
بكلمة منك ..احيا ابدا
وبكلمة منك..اطوق بدرا
بكلمة منك الي الحياة تتبدل ادمعي
ويذوب قلبي وتنشق اضلعي
اصبحث اسمع صدي دقات قلبك يتردد في جنبات نفسي
فلا تسألي كيف الدنيا بعدك واصبحت غدي وامسي
عصفت بي رياح حبك الهوجاء
فأشفقي علي فأنني انتمي لحبك بالولاء
جئت اليك اختبئ هول الحياة...كأنني
اتمزق اربا..فقلت احبك عندما قلبك سألني
فوجدت منك اكثر من العشق والغرام
قبل ان تنطقها شفتاكي تبددت الجراح والاحلام
اقتربي اكثر ...واكثر مني
وامسحي الالم والحزن عني
اقتربي اكثر..لا اريد ان اري سواكي
فلا يعرف لساني غير كلمة اهواكي
اقتربي اكثر..لا اريد ان اذكر من انا
فلقد حققت الحلم...حققت المني
اقتربي اكثر كلما دنوت...ادنو
فلا تسألي كيف بدونك..انجو
اقتربي اكثر واكثر...ضميني هلمي
فلا اذكر طعم الحزن والهمي
اقتربي اكثر...فاكثر ضميني
اقتربي اكثر واكثر ولا تتركيني
اقتربي اريد ان اسمع صمت شفتاكي
فلا تتجاهلي قلبي الذي ناداكي
تندفع نحوك مشاعري كالمياة الجارية
كيف امنعها وقد سيرتها رياح عاتية
هل كنت حيا قبل الان؟
ام كان يقسو علي الزمان؟
منذ رايتك اصبح لي كيان
للابد سنبقي سويا..ادعو الرحمن
كيف تغير الزمان سريعا
امسي جميلا بعدما كان قاسيا مريعا
اعطيتي قلبي الحياة
وبدأ ينسي كل ما عاناه
مهما قلت احبك..احبك..لا تكفي
مهما بعدت عنك نظرات عيوني...لا تخفي
لاح حبك فكان بصيص من نور
كان كاليابسة في اعمق بحور
لاح حبك فكان كالفجر شق قلب الليل
لاح علي البيداء بالخير كامطار السيل
اقتربي اكثر...اريد ان اشعر بالسعادة والهنا
اقتربي اكثر...فانت كل الحياة و كل المني

Absence
Walid Abdallah Sep 2023
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

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

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.

أنوبيس
Walid Abdallah Mar 2023
يجري النيل هنا منذ ملايين السنين
يحمل كل الخير ويزيل كل الانين

بنيت أول حضارة عظيمة في هذا المكان
و بفضلي لا يوجد جوعان او عطشان

لقد ولدت جنديا اموت مدافعا عن أرضي
اضحي بحياتي من أجل حبة من رمالها فهي عرضي

أنوبيس وحورس جاهزان إلى الأبد
يحميان مصر بعون الواحد الصمد

ولدت فرعون وهذا قدري
اعلم العالم الحب والكره ليس من شيمي

النيل في اوردتي يجري مجري الدماء
وعلي وجهي حفرت ارض مصر والسماء

خريطة مصر منحوتة علي جدار فؤادي
عرف العالم الكتابة الفن والموسيقي بفضل بلادي

أنا العين الساهرة الحامية لمصر ولا تنام
فمصر قابعة في قلبي احميها من الانام

آمرا كل مصري أن يقف ثابتا بلا يأس
مدافعا عن الوطن ليل نهار بكل بأس

الفراعنة دوما اسودا في ساحة النزال
درعنا الحق والعدل واعدائنا دوما الي زوال

النيل هو شريان الحياة وقت الظمأ والبلاء
فهو بئر الماء ومستهل الرخاء

تسعي مصر دائما للعدل والسلام  
فهي عادة راسخة بمرور الاعوام

لم تسعي ابدا مصر للصراع والحرب
مصر هي الملاذ والخلاص ونبع الحب

ولكن اذا فرض عليها يوما حرب
أنوبيس يحمل رمحه ليمحو اي كرب

حورس عاليا يرفرف جناحيه خفاقا
مهللا بالنصر علي كل مختال افاقا

مصر قادرة علي حماية نفسها من ابالسة الانس والجان
اسأل الهكسوس والتتار وغيرهم من سقط في قاع النسيان

هناك دوما احمس و مينا و حتشبسوت
يرسلون رسالة حب للعالم باعلي صوت

رسالتنا الاولي للعالم دوما هي السلام
لذا ستظل مصر ام الدنيا بمرور الاعوام
An Arabic version of my long poem Anibus and both versions are published in Doublespeak magazine and other journals.

I open all my heart windows to let your love in
Like the perfume, the light and the sun

When I love you, I know the universe is fine
I feel that the earth orbits and on its line

For me, you are all the women of the earth
You are my roots since my birth

You are the warmth of my feeling
Before you, I was senseless being

Some lines are never enough to describe my emotion
They are just like a drop in the ocean

The King of my Heart
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.

هبة
أشعر ولأول مرة أني سعيدٌ في حظي
فالله قد أنعم عليّ بهبة هي قدري

اسقيت روحي بحُبك حتى ارتوت
ونمت نبتة قلبي بحُبك وأثمرت

لا أبالغ حين أقول، أن قصائدي بحبك شعرٌ مغزول
ليس قلبي، بل أنت إلى شمال صدري تؤول

وحدك من يسكن قلبي فليس لغيرك عليه سلطان
ينبض حين يراك معي ويضخ بأمر حبك الشريان
فإن لم تكن معي يتوقف قلبي ويعلن العصيان

تزهر براعم حبك على جدار قلبي وتتدلّى
تزحف حروف اسمك على صدري وتتجلّى

لم أكن أحيا حتى جرى حبك في الوريد
انت الحياة والعبير الذي بعد المطر وليد

من أجلك أحببت الحياة وآمنت
وبين ذراعيك هدأت وسكنت

مهما حدث سأظل انتظرك حتى ولو للأبد
على باب قلبك لا أمَلّ ولو طال الأمد

بوجودك إلى جواري تتحقق كل أحلامي
فقط بين ذراعيك أنسى أحزاني وآلامي

انت وحدُك في أعماق صدري
فحرف اسمك الذي نُقِش بكفي
خير دليل على أنك وحدك وفقط قدري

وبتُ أشكو إلى مولاي ما أجدُ
وقلتُ يا أملي في كل نائبة
يا من إليه لكشف الضر أعتمدُ
أشكو إليكَ أمورًا أنتَ تعلمها
مالي على حملها صبرٌ ولا جلدُ
وقد مددتُ يدي بالذل مفتقرًا
إليكَ يا خيرَ مَن مَددتُ إليهِ يَدُ
فلا تُردّنها يا ربَّ خائبةً
فبحرُ جودكَ يروي كلَّ من يَردُ
إذا الشدائدُ أقبلتْ بجنودِها
والدهرُ من بَعد المسرّة أوجعَكَ
لا ترجُ شيئًا من أخٍ أو صَاحبٍ
أرأيتَ ظلَّكَ في الظلامِ مَشى معَكَ
وَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَفَوْقَهَا

Together Forever
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.

Broken Heart
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.

My 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.

My Friend
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.

لماذا انت؟
لماذا انت بالذات؟
عندما تصلني رسالة واحدة منك
تتلاشى همومي حتى لو كنت في عز ضيقي
تجعلني اتماسك في عمق بعثرتي
وكأنها تمسك يدي .. وتطبطب على ظهري
وكأنك معي وبجانبي وتسقيني من حنانك العذب
مكالمة منك حتى لو لم استطيع الرد عليها
كافية بأن تغمرني بسعادة لا حدود لها
فكيف لو كان تواجدك اكثر في حياتي !؟
منذ ان دخلت حياتي
واصبحت تتواجد فيها
كأن الله ارسلك لتواسيني في هذه الحياة
.. لتنسيني عذابي
شعوري معك لم اشعر به مع اي شخص اخر
وكأنك انسان غير عادي ولا تتكرر..
اعطيتني جرعات من السعادة والحب والاهتمام .. كأنها جبرتني لوقت طويل
وكأنك ضمّدت قلبي من جروحه والامه
لم تكن لحظة عادية
لحظة دخولك لحياتي
بل كانت قدر جميل
اسعد قلبي كثيراً
ادامك الله لي مابقي من العمر
في هذه الحياة الدنيا
قد تمر بي عاصفة من المشاعر
التي اكون  فيها غير ايجابي بنظرك
.. ولكنها في نظري
انفجارات لا اعلم سبب حقيقي لها
ان لم تعذرني بها
فلك حق ان تهجرني
.. وان كان لي عذر بها عندك
.. فيحق لي عندك ان تتحملني
