ode to the African Poets
I went into this with eyes and thighs wide open. I cannot sanitise my position My legs astride Your waist. I cannot analyse our predicament I sympathise truly With her. But, this affair started together both to blame no shame. I'm beautified by your attention Call it love I'm mystified. I only know I cannot I will not Give up. I'm sorry that you're married as am I that's life. Or is it oversimplified lust? just never leave I'd vaporise. But, before we go back to our partners glide inside. Again.

Eyes wide open
Her soul is tainted in a dark mystifying mist. While her body is lightened and beautified by a warm cooling mist

Mist...
absent from my life, but dancing forever in my mind. preserved perfectly: idealized and beautified, immortal, god-like. wanting to let go, yet holding on too tight. memories, exaggerated: they haunt me, notoriously unreliable. close my eyes; take me back in time… before I was bloodied by his arrow.

Cupid’s Curse
As bronze may be much beautified By lying in the dark damp soil, So men who fade in dust of warfare fade Fairer, and sorrow blooms their soul. Like pearls which noble women wear And, tarnishing, awhile confide Unto the old salt sea to feed, Many return more lustrous than they were. But what of them buried profound, Buried where we can no more find. Who ( ) Lie dark for ever under abysmal war?

As Bronze May Be Much Beautified
The distressed clenches his or her heart in agony, Someone ripped it apart and left it for dead. The distressed wipes a single tear from his or her face, Hoping, Waiting, Wishing, For the returned of the beloved. This is ******** There is nothing to be beautified Over the pain of losing your love. It's ugly. It's the reason for grief, insanity, hatred. The glorification of heartbreak Is what causes the heart to reach farther For something that cannot be reached anymore. Love is not pain, Heartbreak is not beautiful. Love is beautiful, Heartbreak is pain. Alas, the beautiful facade of heartbreak, Is deceit.

The Beautiful Facade of Heartbreak
I plucked a shamrock for him, Beautified with the glamour of the green, Mystified with the aroma of the wild. I am keeping it for him to give, May love & luck shall be his, With all the shamrock blessings.

Shamrock
Have a look at this intricately fashioned globe How it has been beautified with perfect contrast Soothing green carpet and calm blue canopy Compels you to admire its each and every lobe Have you ever imagined it without these colours? How it would appear with all its ink gone… Dull, boring and blank is a portrait without paint Life would surely lose all its vivid flavours Have a look at the sky, brushed with black How it has been studded with priceless jewels Far beyond the reach of Kings are these colours Dazzling for the artist is this silver round on black Have you ever imagined it to be washed off? How it would appear with all its glitter invisible Surely no one would bother to look above You and I love to live due to these colours Have a look at whatever you swallow and chew How it has been made mouth watering for you The perfect blend of colours tempts you to eat Nature has already garnished all that you need Have you ever imagined all this to be colourless How it would appear with its blank coat Probably no one would relish this feast Your sense of sight might seem to be useless Have a look at the humble king of flowers How it has been made a symbol of love Those red chunks resting among green carvings So inspiring is this beauty which nature showers As I look towards the roof of this globe The rays of the golden ball give me hope Colours encourage me to move despite all obstacles I owe my existence to these conspicuous colours Written by: Fakiha Hassan Rizvi

Rose of a champion Thought, in a beautified accord Set to waiting hours, a needs complexion Where we are, the tale of unity to its peaceful order... Skip, argue or define The truth, we removed by bounty of pouts...? Sated avarice, and the curtness of kin caught in a notorious lie... Welcome a shadow to breath, when a harrowed eye allowed...? Is a requited girth, of when, any of a decency's curse? Has found me, in a live and by chastity's purpose Handsomer skills that agree, in no known terms... I had the taste of pride, like a reality of sin, to accuse Why...? No man with a tradition of sincerity, is this island commit Without the sigh of me, the irony to dwell and seek tight The course of another ship of fortune, that has seldom to wit: Look, an eye of poise, if not intellects poison... Made manifest by the only few, of bared conscience That has us for curiosity's fool, but you, for another hero to loan A flower of understated chaste; a victim of letters of prescience? Tall tales of nothing more than a drunk hysteria? Here is your mind, in my way for one more timidity... Think and details of weal, we will know until votes ***** drama To a reaching hour, no one above another, like acts of humanity...

The Practiced Eye Waits (For Lovers Denied)
Some people are of God, The thinning of their sole, torn shoes and worn clothes tell the tale only hearts of God hear. How blessed, for their treasure lies within, no fear of loss, no fear of pain because the glacier of faith they carry within is too magnificent to be beautified, yet too fearsome to let any fear linger around the edges. Everyone of us is a keeper of that glacier. It's only, that the burns sometimes melt the forted edges of iceberg of faith. But the keeper knows exactly when it happens, and when it can happen. And do we not sometimes melt and do we not always gather our blistering crystals, do we not bear the burns on our palms and yet we stand strongest after the burning waves of fate pass on? It melts, it smoothes, it shapes and after all the carvings in the keeper's castle, makes him even more majestic.

When you gathered your blistering crystals.
You’re the next Jesus Christ, Waiting to be crucified, Among your flock of sheep. Blue eyes ready to slice, I, your prophet beautified, Heresy to stab deep. Let’s gather around you, To magnify your glory, Nails to skin under glass. Raindrops rising from dew, Superficial & weary, Ready the blinding mass. Hosanna of the high, Dare you me to deny…

My Love to Sacrifice
The footprint of this place is a freshly razored face. Mother Earth’s been ‘beautified.’ trees, grass, roots, shrubs, stubble shaved from the chin,
 neck and face smooth. Underneath this house. The whiskers have been shaved         she’s dolled up But in gruff’s stead         there’s a wart on her face A fossilized, mortared blackhead.

Beard: Blackout, Pt. II
Silence is needed . Silence is a massive part of your brainstorming session . Let it be your studies , your workspace , your next project session or about your love . And by love I didn't mean it to be a human being only . Love is a strong possession , which can be about your newly bought Fountain pen or can be about your new social innovation . But silence is needed , for making you stronger and your presence to be valuable . Silence should be there as pure bliss , to give you a thought of match making . Do you remember , how much you inhaled with silence and those breezy nights ? Just cherish once about them and think where you were before some days and where are you now ; standing all alone and strong challenging all the facets of truth and society . Yes , silence is needed . Chaos can't always bring you to the path where you desired to end up with . Silence doesn't make you socially introvert . It gives you the space for differentiating between you and what you will be . Ask one poet or a writer or any person who loves to think at the end of the day , 'what is silence for them ? How much does it matter to them?' Then come back to me and say again .... " I hate silence." Silence is subjective . It is needed , but not always . And that also doesn't signify chaos should occupy the space . Silence is needed to make space in those beautified chaotic nature .

You are so beautiful Ma Sha Allah Allahouma Barik. Yes! I'm talking about you! Imagine someone putting you together, piece by piece. Every detail, every inch, every atom that makes you YOU was put together with utmost wisdom. His wisdom. He swt wants you to look the way you actually look; amazing. He wants you to have that skin color and texture. He wants you to have those beautiful eyes, even if you can't see through them. He wants you to have that beautiful nose, lashes, eyebrows, arms, legs, hands, feet and so on. Even if certain parts do not work properly, even if you do not fit into the beauty standards of today's world. And even if people start calling you names. Remember, He named you first. He swt named you with utmost wisdom, care and love. Don't lose that name. Please, don't lose the way He created you just to fit into a beautified lie.. Love, I want you to understand that there is wisdom in every inch of your body; His wisdom. Meaning you're constantly carrying His wisdom around. That way you're constantly reminded of your name, of who you truly are; A servant of Allah swt, crowned with the beauty of His wisdom 🤍

Beautiful
the backyard lawn freshly cut provides vivid perfected image of summer half in shadow of the rubber tree half in unyielding sunlight i feel at peace drinking this scene in i feel the strength of possible futures i feel the beautified past summer my old friend summer my home barefoot reluctance in the shallow pool splash her sunning she gives mock angers and throws a grape at me this grape of wrath falls to sandy ground to lay sweating in the sun forgotten fruits of our laughter's and joys seeds for tomorrows we will always dream of and dreams planted in stealth of night growing to smiles we share today summer our silent companion summer our dear home her voice as she talks is echoed by birdsong she blends into the days beauty she is the days beauty i kiss her while she talks on the phone she shoos me away then grabs me and pulls me back in again and bites my lip tenderly summer my friend summer my home laughter and joys can be seen in the fluttering's of birds in the plane climbing into clouds high above in the insect crawling with intents to the spent remains of my breakfast summer is full of life summer is my home

grape of wrath
he’s interested in disasters, the kind of catastrophes that the media has a field day with, the kind of accidental atrocities that are awe-inspiring in their horrid glory, the kind of things that have self destructed spectacularly – so much so that the remaining debris becomes a masterpiece on the ocean floor, a memorial for beautified trauma. and I guess that’s why he’s interested in me.

Baby, I'll be Your Shipwrecked Soulmate
My blood runs red in my blue veins I feel just as you do, exactly the same Cut me open and see inside That which is in me is beautified So as with you, our hearts are all true Irrespective of the color that our skin exudes If you were to hurt me would I not cry ? Asking you forgiveness, the reason why Just as you would if you were to die Be judged by the same man in the sky Do we not love and fear? Hope and dream for all things? That this life would be gentle and kind That we might live and learn unconfined We are born and we die in the exact same way Are similarities not enough to keep a color war at bay? Skin, hair, money, status and power Are these the things we fight for that will slowly devour us? I search for a world where this will no longer matter That for this reason no more blood shall splatter When the color of my skin will not make me less of a person But rather a sister to love and trust in I want this world to see through the my eyes See what it means to truly accept and thrive What we could be if only we stopped fighting It would be love and life uniting.

When the birds of spring sang with joy To hail the blowing breeze pampering the face rapidly with moisturizing coy When rays of the shine stand very kind to make the life neither hot nor too cold Life rushes through the mobility of less anxiety or creating abundant tumult   Shining novelty on juvenile tress’ robe bestow jubilee to those hurry to work In confronting the bundle you expect to parole Life is so lovely what are you feeling for? - “ seems… GARLIC…?” The most beautified Criollo … ladies of shadow…listen to spring and smooth song of returning swallows - “ sounds GARLIC..?” Sender of magic rockets to Apollo… ladies of shallow…   smell of plant mingled with heavenly blossom of sharp blue, it is a time to define the final intentions supposed to follow… - “ feels GARLIC…?” Drowsy, numb, with mouths open, shoulders down like zombies out of tomb… who are you? mighty dancers with delicate willow with strong sense of itching on our marrow - “…ladies of GARLIC…” Nobody comes, nobody goes, life is so hollow, what it supposed to be full of energy …you You talk a lot…just go! smell strange not from corpses but from walls, earth, and ceiling… what is it?   - “….life is …GARLIC…”

UNNOTICED The first time i saw you I couldn’t get my eyes off you You smiled at everyone in that room but me I guess your smile was what caught my eye Was it the way you walked Maybe it was the way you talked I remember you sounded like the whispers of angels   I was heading home that day smiling like riches kissed me Too shy to explain the reason why My friends see me as tough As the one who doesn’t fall in love But that is the biggest lie i live with You were strangely too beautiful to forget Your face as smooth as polished marbles So i painted imaginations of us I struggled to understand why i felt this way I reached back in time wishing i told you how i felt But i wasn’t so sure that you would feel the same way I came back every time i had a chance To behold your sun bright smile To see the soft freshness of your skin I wished your  gentle eyes would fall upon mine I stalked you without you knowing From a distance i loved you for you In my dreams i constantly see you In my own fantasies i took you on uncountable dates I pinned pictures of you in my bedroom I knew i loved you better than the one you love I made myself to believe that you are mine You are a human adorned in splendor The honey that sweetened my life without knowing Days turned into weeks and so it continued I was comfortable with loving you from a distance Why? because i was too scared! Too scared that you would say NO Too scared that i would mess things up and lose you forever I know you might call me a coward But would you blame me? Would you blame me for being scared to lose you? You were mine and i wasn’t yours Yea truly most times it makes me really sad                                                                                                                                                                                                              Without you knowing you melted a heart as cold as ice Without you knowing you made me fall in love Without you knowing you brought sunshine to my life Without you knowing your voice became what disarms my demons Without you knowing i smile in my loneliness Without you knowing you are the love of my life In your world i am but a foreigner In my world you are everything The stars that beautified my planet The sweet violin constantly repeating in my head You have become the commanding officer of my happiness Yet in your world i am still the UNNOTICED.
