1_ HERE… MY FEATURES ARE SCATTERED!!<\/p>\n
I’m chained in dirt
\nI am crucified in pain<\/p>\n
You paralyzed present, enough <\/p>\n
You who live in the land of strangers<\/p>\n
Who told the lovers
\nThat separation has a homeland<\/p>\n
Who said that birds
\nIn your absence, are not sad<\/p>\n
And that flowers did not wither,
\nAnd Its dew did not dry out.<\/p>\n
O night that spreads its wings,
\nunderground<\/p>\n
You pixie shadow
\nhiding behind the seas<\/p>\n
Where did you come from?
\nFrom what illusion were you born?<\/p>\n
O painful longing, enough<\/p>\n
Who stirred up the memories?
\nAnd ignite longings?<\/p>\n
Who blew up the rivers
\nAnd they flooded in abudance from eyes<\/p>\n
WHO not from??
\nOh you the absent behind the mirage!!<\/p>\n
________<\/p>\n
2_ WHAT TO DO WHEN NEGLECT!?<\/p>\n
What to do when neglect has exhausted me,
\nAnd the Reconciliation is hard,
\nAnd the passion is deadly <\/p>\n
My passionate heart is grieving from love, and the critics are rejoicing<\/p>\n
I did not stay, oh my critic
\nAnd i did not give up,
\nBut those whom i loved did go away,<\/p>\n
Their feelings dwelt in a tender heart
\nAnd I the sorrowful, my feelings are getting assassinated<\/p>\n
I won\u2019t rest and I won\u2019t surrender,
\nEven if The hardships face me<\/p>\n
My burning longings inflame my vigor
\nAnd the soul\u2019s strength is stocked by hope.<\/p>\n
3_ BLISS OF LOVE<\/p>\n
Like a bee celebrating its harvest,
\nOr a a butterfly perched on a flower,
\nThis is the feeling of Love\u2026<\/p>\n
Because I am the song of longing and the sunbird,
\nI shorten the distances
\nAnd fill the spaces with love and poetry\u2026<\/p>\n
Because I am a child of life and the tree of love,
\nI soar into the sky of the soul
\nDripping with water of longing..
\nAnd I write with my heart\u2026
\nI voluntarily vowed myself to Love\u2026<\/p>\n
So tell me poetry
\nHow do the heartbeats smile!
\nHow do passions ignite in the arms of the beloved?
\nI am a daughter of the sun<\/p>\n
My soul blossomed because of love,
\nOn the lines are the yearning of my voice,
\nAnd the night is a cup of passion stretching my longing\u2026<\/p>\n
4_THE PAIN!<\/p>\n
The infatuated wandered longingly,
\nAnd accepted the pain
\ncaused by arrowheads
\nthrown by his beloved\u2026<\/p>\n
It won\u2019t dissuade me from his love any heartaches
\nMy heart is clinging to hopes
\nAnd is holding fast\u2026.<\/p>\n
By God, even if lovers are saved from passion,
\nMy tender heart can\u2019t escape the yearning\u2026<\/p>\n
Do you consider the feeling of fondness a luxury?!!
\nOr do you think the hearts of lovers are puppets?!!<\/p>\n
From intense ecstasy,
\nThe spirit of love only bleds longing, overshadowed by
\npassion and blood\u2026<\/p>\n
Honour people when they are gray and elderly,
\nThe pulse of loyalty in them does not know old age!!!<\/p>\n
5_ HERE I AM! <\/p>\n
Like a butterfly who loves brightness,
\nTaghrid said: \u201chere I am\u201d<\/p>\n
She got lost so they said:
\n\u201cIt\u2019s a narcissus rose\u201d
\nShe blossomed so they said:
\n\u201c it\u2019s an iris rose\u201d<\/p>\n
She planted goodness
\nAnd good plants get harvested<\/p>\n
With Kindness and loyalties
\nMy heart was filled and enriched <\/p>\n
I wish my friends and myself all happiness and contentment <\/p>\n
My Lord, grant my brothers and sisters whatever they desire\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
