A Silent Night

2011-03-28T23:12:00.000+03:00

Just a new poem ..

A Silent Night

Sitting alone in a dark night
Nothing is there but the sound of the wind
The thoughts are in an hopeless fight
And I am praying for a peaceful end

If only the silence would let me sleep
My aching heart would like to rest
But I know the light soon will creep
And adds more load to my heavy chest

Do not Turn off the Light

2010-09-09T12:59:00.001+03:00

I hope I didn't post this poem before with a different end because i have just written the last stanza :O

I hope it is a good comeback to romantic poems!

Do not turn off the light

Let me see you clearly

I won’t let go out of my sight

Till I close my eyes when I hold you dearly

I am not sure if I can resist your smell

Nor the warmth of your breath on my face

You take me to another world, you can tell

That I am lost in your embrace

Lay your head on my chest

And listen carefully to my heart beating

Live in me; let me be your nest

Let my lap be your preferable seating

As I run my fingers through your hair

And feel you soft skin as it touches mine

Look into my eyes and see my loving stare

And I look into yours and see love and its shine

The Tag of Se7en!

2010-02-04T10:13:00.000+03:00

So I have been tagged by Wafa' to write 7 things about me! I think it should be easy :D

1- I am 31 years old and I am single for the time being.

2- I have been engaged and ready to get married last year but it fell apart.

3- I wish I can be as half good as my late father Allah yer7amah. He was and still a great man and father and husband and uncle and a friend and everything.

4- I barely listen to Arabic music and it is just the type of songs you will hear in my playlist that I like.

5- I don't like wearing the traditional clothes (Thoub and Shmagh or Ghetra). I walk like a robot if I do!

6- I don't like to travel much specially when it is economy class (I only traveled once on business class and it was fun :P)

7- I am not a fan of movies as I am of TV shows! I don't think I will even watch Avatar which I believe everyone did watch or ready to watch by now.

Thanks Wafa' for tagging me. It wasn't as easy as expected :P

I Dream

2009-11-29T10:21:00.002+03:00

Back to romantic poems. I don't remember when I actually wrote this but I found it in my old documents. I wrote it for and about the love of my life ;)

I Dream

I dream of waking up beside you
And kissing your bare shoulder
Year after year passing through
As we, and our love grow older

I dream of watching you brush your hair
While you are in your sleeping gown
Your scent is filling the air
As you let your hair fall down

I dream of seeing you coming out of shower
With nothing but the towel on
Smelling fresher than the freshest flower
Like a summer breeze in early dawn

I dream of watching you asleep
Like an angel in our bed
My treasure that I will keep
Forever and until I am dead

Broken Tales

2009-11-16T01:01:00.001+03:00

Here is a poem I wrote few years back. Here I tried a different kind of rhyming style. The 1st line rhymes with the last and the 2nd with the line before the last and so on..

Broken Tales

Once upon the moon in the sky
I have made a wish upon a star
And walked along this lonely shore
I left my footprints on the sand
And I have written my name there
But all were washed away by a manic sea
And I have walked and walked all alone
And then before I have ever known
The future was a forgotten memory
That I have lost somewhere
I once saw it clearly in the palm of my hand
And like those who were there before
I have never made it very far
There is no reason and I don’t know why

Don't..

2009-11-13T00:34:00.000+03:00

This is an old poem that I wrote and was waiting to be finished but after reading twice tonight I have decided that there's no need to write more in it. I think the meaning is complete!

Don't let me open my eyes
I can see better when they're closed
Don't wake me up from my sleep
I have my life there to keep
Where reality has been exposed
And all the beauty that never dies

Almost Happy

2009-11-10T05:14:00.006+03:00

So I didn't pass the exam and I was 1% short from the passing mark. I will have a chance to retake it again in December. I felt down after I failed to pass the exam but it is nothing compared to the feeling of failing marriage or engagement! So I think I got used to the failing feeling.

After 2 days I called my boss (he emailed me to call him) and he told me that the Company approved my Master's for next year so that cheered me up! But now I will have to take GMAT and TOEFL! I started studying for the GMAT and I am trying to register for the TOEFL but when it comes to paying, it just keeps processing like it is trying to contact the bank and it is not responding or something! I emailed them and I will try again tomorrow!
Now I am also looking at universities in USA (where I will go most likely) and not many of them offer the approved program! I want to go to one of the Northeast States where it snows! I wanna play in the snow :(
Colorado is my 1st option even though it is kind of in the middle! But the nature there is irresistible!

I think I will be a great poet if I have this kind of scenary around me :D

Tim McGraw - Please Remember Me

2009-11-04T01:19:00.001+03:00

Since I don't have anything good to say and I am busy studying for an exam (wish me luck) I will just post a song again! Another country sad song :P

By the way, who voted in my poll? Who didn't like my playlist? Admit it! :P

My Imaginary Album

2009-10-29T23:56:00.000+03:00

In my other life I am a rock/country singer where I had this 1 great album which I retired after it and lived happily ever after doing concerts and interviews :D

I have written all the songs and I played the guitar. Other instruments were played by some session musicians from my record label :P
My style is that similar to Joshua Radin or some kind of a crossover between country and rock.

Here are the songs titles:

Memories to Forget
Daytime Whispers
Unloved
Faded but not Forgotten
My Comfort Zone
I Could've Done Better
A Warm Winter
The Wedding Portrait
Unspoken Feelings
You Should Have Told Me
When Love Dies
Melted Candle

I have tried to design the album cover but I am not good with photoshop :(

A lot has changed since last post.. I got engaged and was about to get married but it didn't work out .. my father passed away (Allah Yer7amah).. I got promoted finally! .. I started a new assignment .. I am also not 20 something years young anymore .. what else? I don't remember actually .. see you in my next post!

The Perfect You

2008-02-19T13:41:00.002+03:00

An old poem that I have just finished today!

The Perfect You

There was the river and there were you
And there was the moonlight shining
The stars dancing all around
Roses like a bed covering the ground
The moon, the stars, and the roses combining
The night was so perfect and you were too

You stood there and you were glowing
And the scent of you filled the air
My emotions were like the river flowing
How I envy that breeze that passes through your hair
I was mesmerized and it was showing
And you acted just like you did not care
So could you only be a dream or a fantasy?
And all of this is just unreal
And I was drowning in an endless sea
Mislead by the way I feel

My Valentine

2008-02-11T12:14:00.000+03:00

Since I don't have anybody in my life I am reaching out for the single girls out there to apply and be my Valentine in this coming thursday! She should be beautiful and well.. beautiful :D

The deadline for accepting the application will be Wednesday 3 Pm GMT and any application coming after that .. well... I guess it will be considered also since who am I to say no? :P

The selected applicant(s) will go with me on a cruise in the pacific (of course she will have to imagine that cos I can't do it for real :$ ). I also might write a poem (she shouldn't count much on that either)!

To apply send me an email (in my profile) with your CV, certifications and references from previous valentines and who knows you may find a better job :\

Candles and Butterflies

2008-01-09T11:04:00.000+03:00

I have just finished this poem which I had started writing long ago! Enjoy reading and commenting ;)

Candles and Butterflies

Dinner by the candlelight
Music accompanying the night
And the brightness in your eyes
The innocence of butterflies
Your dreamy glare
The glow around your hair
And the scent of flowers lingers
Around you. And the magic in your fingers
Hand in hand we will walk
And with no words being said, we will talk

In silence let our eyes converse
To say poetry, verse by verse
Let them argue and discuss
The future that we planned for us
The promises we made
In a night that will never fade
The candles and butterflies
Until I get lost in your dreamy eyes

Crowded House- Don't Dream It's Over

2007-12-12T15:17:00.000+03:00

One great everlasting classic with such great music and lyrics! I think it was remade recently but nothing can beat this original piece. One of my all time favorites! Enjoy!

State of Mind

2007-11-26T11:58:00.000+03:00

I am in the inside looking out
Prisoner of an endless doubt
Lost between a million notions
Of calm rivers and wild oceans

Frustration

2007-11-24T08:58:00.000+03:00

Without further ado, here is a list of things that I find so frustrating:

1- I get an sms when I am asleep or taking a nap and before I open it I pray for few seconds that it is a personal or important message but it turns out to be from the bank or the phone company reminding me to pay the bill!

2- I have just fell asleep and my phone rings once and I check and it is a missed call from those stupid people located in Africa who manage some God knows what businesses!

3- My favorite team Argentina plays so well in the tournament and then reach the final and lose to the below par Brasil!

4- Someone tells me that there is something going on and then says no I can't tell you the details! Why did you tell me from the start if you are not willing to elaborate when I didnt even ask??!!

5- I am on vacation and I dream about math 102 (most of the time) and that I am being late to exam and no matter what I do I can't reach the university on time! The reason is that I skipped many classes for that course more than any other and I barely passed it! So I guess it is still haunting me :(

I am sure there are more but I can't think of any to add!

Through the Barricades

2007-11-19T14:07:00.000+03:00

If I to ever to cry while listening to a song, this song will be one of the songs that make me cry :P

It is a classic!

Lyrics

Sleepless Night

2007-11-17T14:47:00.001+03:00

Oh sleepless night
With my demons I fight
With no sword or shield
My bed is the battle field

Cover oh my sweet cover
No sweet dreams of my lover
My pillow knows my fears
And it swallows all my tears

The night is so silent and dreary
And even though I am bleary
I can't find a way to sleep
I can't find the tears to weep

So soon the sun will shine
And brings peace to this heart of mine
And ends this sleepless night
And I will lose my hopeless fight

Hands

2007-11-14T12:21:00.000+03:00

I have listened to this song before but never bothered to read the lyrics! Now after I did, it turned out to be a great song. It is dedicated to those good people
around who have been hurt and are kind enough to worry about others getting hurt too :D

Press for lyrics

Reflection

2007-11-12T10:47:00.000+03:00

The reflection on water
The blurred image of me
Takes me back
Makes me remember
Makes me stand still
And wonder
Living life like a pretender

The reflection of me

In your eyes
When you steal some glances
It sets me free
It is the way I want to be

Foolish Games

The Perfect Crime

2007-10-15T22:53:00.000+03:00

Ok! Finally I think I am ready to commit the perfect crime! Watching those famous crimes shows like all versions of CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS, a little of Killer Instinct, Psych and Monk and reading Agatha Christie's books made me aware of what a mistake can a murderer make, of course other than the murder itself. I am going to watch over my DNA, fingerprints, footprints and car tired prints! I am going to watch over the car paint or I better not use any car! I won't even have a motive! I will kill someone I don't even know so that no fingers will be pointed at me. Now I have the plan ready and all I have to do is to find the right victim :D Enough of all this evil fantasy of mine and let me talk a bit about these shows for those who don't know them!

CSI or Crime Scene Investigation: There are 3 versions of this show and each is located in a major American city. The original is located in Las Vegas and by far is the best. The 2nd is in Miami and the 3rd is in New York. The shows deal with crime scenes and evidences more than with human beings.

Criminal Minds: A relatively new show where in contrast to CSI it primary deals with profiling of criminals and sometimes even victims. The agents analyze the criminal and come up with the characteristics that fit the crime so they can identify him or her.

NCIS or Naval Criminal Investigative Services: This show deals with crimes related to the American Navy and Marine Corps. It deals with both, evidence and the human factor and the agents are funny! You've got to like DiNozzo!

Killer Instinct: Which only lasted 1 season unfortunately! It deals with unusual and brutal crimes in their nature.

Psych: A new show that I have enjoyed very much! It is about a guy who's father is an ex-cop who has powerful observational skills and impressive detective instincts and tell the police that he is a psychic and help them to solve crimes. He and his partner opens their agency and call it Psych. I am waiting for 2nd season now!

Monk: Even though they show the criminal most of the times in the start of the episode, I still enjoy watching it! Monk is an Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) detective who manages to solve the unsolvable crimes God knows how! Sometimes he really pisses me off specially when he needs to wipe his hand after shaking someone else's hand :@

Of course there are many other shows like Crossing Jordan but I am not that into it since I don't like the cast that much! Jill Hennessy has a bad voice! There is also Bones which I still don't understand how can they know that much about someone through a small bone in the body??
There are the classics like Murder She Wrote and Columbo (the bad thing about it is that they show the criminal in the start of each episode)!

What Is Left!

2007-10-04T01:49:00.002+03:00

I have just finished this poem! I started writing it longer than I can remember and just finished it tonight after I felt that I should finish something!

What Is Left

What is left is a picture on the wall
With a frame about to fall
A few strands of your hair
On a hairbrush lying somewhere
The empty bottle of your perfume
And a plant that was never destined to bloom
A trace of your scent left on the bed
And an old pillow that used to sleep beneath your head
A memory of our last dance
Where every star in the sky had a glance
A silent vision that runs within a gleam
What is left of you is just a distant dream

The Long Road

2007-02-11T12:51:00.000+03:00

Here is a new poem that I actually finished sometime ago!

The Long Road

It is just you and me in a long never-ending road
Carrying nothing but our dreams
It is a long journey, and a heavy load
And the road grows longer as it seems

Here we stand alone in the middle of nowhere
Surrounded by walls of emptiness
Right in between hope and despair
I know we can come through, we can escape this wilderness

Hand in hand, let us follow the light
It will lead us so we shall never go astray
And save we will be, from all the spite
That was planted all over our way

Two Hearts

2007-01-28T14:19:00.000+03:00

Enjoy my latest poem! ;)

Two Hearts

It is a poem written in blood
For romance has come to an end
Two hearts lost in the flood
Two hearts impossible to mend

Stories of love we have read before
Where most have been a success
Two hearts broken and nothing more
Two hearts were beating in a mess

Lovers come and lovers go
And time does not wait for anyone
Two hearts they did not know
Two hearts they were; and now they are none

Song of This Morning: I Miss My Friend

2006-12-12T07:47:00.000+03:00

Hello dear readers who you are only few who I can count on my three hands! Oh yeah! I have three hands, the left hand and the right hand!

Here is a nice country song for you my friends so enjoy :D

I Miss My Friend (Click on the title to go to the song page)

I miss the look of surrender in your eyes
The way your soft brown hair would fall
I miss the power of your kiss when we made love
Oh, but baby most of all
I miss my friend

The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
And let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss the colors that you brought into my life
Your golden smile, those blue - green eyes
I miss your gentle voice in lonely times like now
Saying it'll be alright
I miss my friend

The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
Let the light back in
I miss my friend

I miss those times
I miss those nights
I even miss our silly fights
The making up
The morning talks
And those late afternoon walks
I miss my friend

The one my heart and soul confided in
The one I felt the safest with
The one who knew just what to say
To make me laugh again
Let the light back in
I miss my friend
I miss my friend
I miss my friend

Underneath The Sky

2006-11-21T12:08:00.000+03:00

Hello! I know that I don't post much and I know you missed me (I hope so :P) so I came with a new poem that I hope you will like!

It is about my passion for the clouds :P

Underneath the sky
Just myself and I
Riding the clouds
Escaping the crowds
Drifting away
Going astray
Away from my life
And the city strife
Away from the light
Deep in the night
Fading like a star
Looking from afar
Longing to be
Free so free

Welcome to the 4th episode of my Nostalgic series (Nostalgic, Nostalgic: Up On The Roof & Nostalgic: Saving Nickels, Saving Dimes) where I talk about my childhood memories that are by far more interesting that my current life :P

I still remember my1st day at school. I mean not fully since I don't even remember how I got in there initially. I assume that I went with my older cousins since I know my father was working that day. I don't know how the system works in schools now but during my time all students gather in the space where the students do their morning queues and sing the national anthem and do some morning exercises. So we were all gathered there and some teacher or the vice rector dude got in the microphone and started calling classes names and the students that should go to that class. So he started calling names and the students whose names were called get together in the side and then taken by their teacher to their class. He then called a class name and suddenly I heard my name. I was standing like a status I think I didn't move from my place and I didn’t go with my colleagues and until now I have no idea what was in my mind that day. After all the names have been called and I was there looking around me wondering what to do, I made a choice and walked toward the school gate and left to home :D When I arrived home, my mom was shocked to see me and she asked me what are you doing here? I think I cried though I don't really remember and I am not sure how I went to school the next day or how I found my way to my class! Don’t blame me, all this happened around 23 years ago :P
Anyway, in the class I was wondering and looking around me looking for some friendly faces but all I saw was some old boys who are scary and I was like what are they doing here with 1st graders? Thank god the next day they were all gone. I think they found that these students are un-teachable and it will be a waste of time and effort to try to teach them. Once we were all settled in that big classroom, the teacher distributed some biscuits and milk (or juice) to us and we were all happy and thinking oh nice we will get this every day :D which of course was not the case. We haven't seen these biscuits again :(
This classroom was big and was holding like 40 students so they decided to split us and so we moves to a smaller classroom with 22 students. I think I can remember the names of most of them. I haven't seen any of them in long time but all I know that not many of them did well in his life. I mean 1 of them who was sitting in the front raw ended up being a well known drug dealer in the area and he is now in jail and I hope he won't ever get out! There is also this kid with 1 leg. The poor lad father was driving the car and reversing and he didn't see his son there so he hit him and caused his leg to be amputated. But he had the spirit that time and he used to play football with us using his artificial leg and sometimes when he gets so excited his artificial leg flies with the ball :D I wish I can know what happened to him and what is he doing these days.

Well enough said about my 1st year in school. I will return sometimes later and write a new post about the following years so make sure you don't miss anything ;)

A Conversation

2006-10-18T01:31:00.000+03:00

Here is a poem that I wrote most part of it loooooooooong time ago as a reply to a poem posted by a blogger who disappeared. I never posted it, but few days ago I was reading in my old documents and I found it and I thought it worth posting here. I added few lines here and there.
It is way different from the style I am used to write. So I would like to read yout opinions :D

A Conversation

Maybe you change your mood
With every change in the season
Maybe my mood changes
Without a reason
Maybe these walls divide us,
But these endless walls were
Built to protect us
And this silence came after
We have exhausted all the words
And we don't have much to discuss

But I can see you clearly
I see you between the lines in the poems you write
We do not have speak
Let our eyes converse in silence
Let them reach a solution

You should see it in my eyes
Read between my words
With your heart, you ought to feel my touch
Every sigh I take is yours
I inhale you in with every breath I take
You live within me
And forever you will be

Malcolm in the Middle

2006-10-14T00:44:00.000+03:00

I think one of the best Ramadhan shows this year is Malcolm in the Middle on MBC4 :P Even though I am not sure what season is it but I still watch it! Actually I even finished watching the 7th and latest season of that show! Very hilarious indeed! My favorite character is Dewey and I think he is the smartest and funniest one in the whole family! He reminds me of one of my nephews.

By the way, for those who does not know, the actor who plays Reese is actually younger than the actor who plays Malcolm! And they don't even have a family name!

Tagged!

2006-10-13T00:52:00.000+03:00

I have been tagged by 3anooda. I use some programs to make it look like that, otherwise the normal look is messy and has too many icons!

As usual, I don't tag anyone :D

Let Us Go Back

2006-10-09T21:57:00.000+03:00

Alright ladies and gentlmen, I didn't take long time between my last post and this! So hopefully, this will be the trend so wish me luck :D

Here is my new poem and I think it is clear that I miss my childhood though now after growing up I realized that it was boring; and beside that I don't wanna go back to school again :P

So enjoyyyyyyyy ..

Let Us Go Back

Let us go back in time and be little kids again
And forget all the worries and all the pain
Let s go back to the time when we were innocent
The time before the roses lost its beautiful scent
And the time when we used to play out in the rain

Let us go back in time few years ago
Too young, we were with so much to know
About life, death and all what is there
About love, hate, hope and despair
Let us go back in time to when we first met
Let us live again all those moments I remember to forget

At Sunset

2006-10-02T23:32:00.000+03:00

Happy month of Ramadhan to you all and I know I became rare but all precious things are rare and I think I am precious :P

Here is my lastest poem which I was able to finish! :D

I hope you like it..

At Sunset

At sunset, the ocean swallows the sun
And the sky turns to dark
It is the birth of a new life
And new memories to mark

At sunset, lovers enjoy walking by
Side by side, holding hands
And all the birds fly to their homes
Grouped together like marching bands

At sunset, all I alone I watch the sky
Thinking about that special someone
Who can share this moment with me
And at sunset, she will be my sun

My News

2006-08-10T09:05:00.000+03:00

Hello dear readers,
Apologies for not being active in my blog or any other blogs. I haven't been busy or anything, but I just felt bored and I had nothing to say. No great topics and no finished poems to post! Anyway, I will just update you guys about my news, if anyone cares :P

Do you remember this post? Well, I have finished my assignment down there and now I am back to my old job and place! I kinda miss myself being a boss and giving orders and doing nothing most of the time! :P But it is fine, I get to go back home daily now and sleep on my bed and watch my TV and have normal working hours! <-- June

The world cup has started and ended and again we didn't win it! And by we I mean Argentina! They played the best football but luck damn luck! After they were out the cup lost its taste but I enjoyed Italy beating the Germans and getting our revenge! But Zidane headbutt is the highlight of this cup I must admit :P <-- June/July

Again this summer, I traveled to Canada! :D I had more fun this year than last. My nephew can talk now and he called me "Uncle Myname". I miss that kid too much! I miss the weather there! I don't know why they have a great weather in the summer and we don't :( <-- July

While I was in my way to Canada, Israel started bombing Lebanon and for the 1st time in my life I knew the name of the prime minister in Canada, Harper guy! He turned out to be a jerk and lives in the shade of Bush! <-- July

Currently I am in love with those people, Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela who withdrew his main diplomat in Israel (Venezuela has no ambassador to Israel) and condemned the attacks and equated them with what the Nazis did! He also threatend to cut all diplomatic ties with Israel if they didn't stop. Now of course, they call him anti-semitic for telling the truth! On the other hand, it is sad that the Arab countries who have diplomatic ties with Israel didn't withdrew their ambassadors and never made such comments! <-- July/August
Also there is this George Galloway, he was good in that interview in Sky News and made that Bit*h shut up same way he did when he was questioned by the the Senate in USA about Oil-Food Program to Iraq! <-- July/August

I also hate so many people but I don't wanna mention their names and ruin my blog!

Anyway, that is what is going on in my life currently, not so many exciting things I know!

Song Of The Whatever Period of Time: To Make You Feel My Love

2006-04-23T08:51:00.000+03:00

If you remember I had the tradition of posting a song every week but I stopped long time ago but now I had a sudden desire to post one. I disabled the comments since I know not many will comment and not to steal comments from my previous post. So please for any comments regarding this song, say it in the previous post :D

The song is called "To Make You Feel My Love" and there are many versions for it, most famous are Billy Joel's and Garth Brooks's which is the one I am posting here.

To Make You Feel My Love (click on the title to go to the song page)

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I would offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
There is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's no doubt in my mind where you belong

I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging on a rolling sea
Down the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
But you ain't seen nothing like me yet

There ain't nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love

The Weekend Blues

2006-04-22T20:50:00.000+03:00

I am sure a lot of us suffer and can't sleep well when their weekends come to an end! I wrote this simple so called poem (actually simple words with a rhyme) to describe the things that I go through when trying to sleep! ENJOY :D

It is Friday night and I can’t sleep
No use counting sheep after sheep
Just tossing and turning in bed
So many thoughts going on my head
So many weird half dreams
And nothing is like what it seems
I turn to the right and I dream about money
And a turn to the left makes me see you honey
And I look up and check the ceiling
A million song in my mind reeling
And my oh my, what a crime
The alarm is going to go off any time
Just let me go in a deep one for five
God! Even for that I have to strive
But it is ok. I will sleep in the lunch break
I wish they make it two hours for my sake
It is alright, I will steal half an hour
I am a supervisor; for sure I have the power
But what I really need is a radical change
Before this problem makes me derange
Don’t tell me to go early to bed in the weekends
Believe me, that can’t happen my friends
Maybe they should make work start in the afternoon
And for only four hours; that has a lovely tune
Maybe I’ll suggest making the weekend longer
I hope this poem makes my case stronger
Oh I know these were just crazy things to say
Now I am scared they might take my weekend away

Kiss Me

2006-04-16T17:05:00.000+03:00

Well it's been ages since I've posted anything here! I don't know why but I just don't have anything to say or I have no mood to say anything or simply because I haven't been able to finish any poem recently!!

Here is this poem that I wrote the most of it long time ago and managed to finish it today! I know it is not that good but I think I have to post something anyway :P

Kiss Me

Kiss me but not on my lips
Don’t even touch them with your finger tips
Kiss me but not on my cheek
It’s something more that I seek
Kiss me but not on my hand
I hope you soon will understand
Kiss me but not on my eye
Don’t try to taste my tears when I cry
Kiss me but not on the tip of my nose
Though your lips are soft like a rose
Kiss me but not on my forehead
Soon I will try to tell you where instead
Kiss me but not on any body part
For it won’t last within my heart
Kiss me for I don’t know where
Kiss me and leave your mark on there

A Shadow

2006-02-25T16:38:00.000+03:00

Hello, here is my latest poem that I wrote in like 2 hours. For some reason I can write fast when I feel down or depressed :P
I am not sure if you will like it or not, but I enjoyed finishing it quickly ;)

A Shadow

There is a shadow upon the wall
And there are tears falling down
Sound of pain echoes in this empty hall
In a ghostly house in a lonely sad town
And no one lives here but me
I am the shadow that you cannot see

For I was once a man full of life
Full of hopes and dreams
Dreaming about some kids and a wife
To dance with under the moonlight beams
But it all turned to a nightmare
When I made one wrong choice
I became surrounded by endless walls of despair
That only echo my silent hopeless voice

Waiting for You

2006-02-12T17:20:00.000+03:00

Here is my latest poem, I wrote the 1st 2 stanzas about a year ago and the rest of the poem was written yesterday :P

Dear readers, this is my Valentine's Day gift to you :P

Waiting for You

The crazy raindrops fall upon my windowpane
The sound of thunder is driving me insane
Inside my heart I am crying in pain
While the memories of you still linger in my brain

Every day I am waiting for you to appear
Out in the darkness, your shadow is clear
It is getting worse year after year
Can’t you see that I am slowly dying here?

Maybe you are close or somewhere far away
Maybe I have passed by you someday
We could have talked but did not have much to say
And if I knew it was you, I would have asked you to stay

I wonder if you can hear it when my soul calls
For the help needed in my life before apart it falls
The sound of my pain echoes in these empty halls
And I am here sitting hopeless surrounded by these gloomy walls

I am here so lost and I do not know what to do
Maybe you can help; maybe you can guide me through
But only if I can break away, only if I can get to you
And only if you believe in me and if you know that I am true

Favorite Lines

2006-02-05T12:55:00.000+03:00

We listen and hear so many songs but most of the times a line or 2 from a certain songs get stuck in our minds and we find ourselves repeating it over and over and sometimes we wake up with the lines are being repeated in our heads!

So here I am presenting you my favorite lines from some songs that I like:

1-
"Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you"
These lines are taken from the song "Roses Are Red" for "Bobby Vinton". They are classic lines and good for flirting specially the second part about the sugar ;)

2-
"But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong"
From the song "I'm Movin' On" By "Rascal Flatts". I like this line because I feel that I will end up living in a place I don't belong to, hopefully not a prison :P

3-
"I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out"
From Same song as number 2. For me it is kinda the opposite as in I lived like I should but loved like I shouldn't but thank God I haven't lost everything ..yet :p

4-
"Life can be short or long, love can be right or wrong
and if i choose the one I'd like to help me through
I'll like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl"
Those lines are from the song "Make It With You" for "Bread". I like them because I agree that we can make it through :P

5-
"If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know
That I must learn to live without the rest
I've found the best"
From the song "I Won't Last a Day Without You" for "The Carpenters". I want someone to sing these lines for me :'(

6-
"Closer than the leaves
On a weepin willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters A and B are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why"
From the song "Hurting Each Other" By "The Carpenters". I like them and I don't know why :D

7-
"Like a perfect scene from a movie screen
Where every dream comes true
Suited perfectly for eternity
Me and you

Every day, I need you even more
At the nighttime too
There's no wayI could ever let you go
Even if I wanted to"
Taken from the song "Me And You" By "Kenny Chesney" and I like them because I like them :P

There are other lines that I like but those are what came to my mind when writing this post and I just don't wanna think too much and try to remember :P

Weird Me!

2006-01-28T15:39:00.000+03:00

I have been tagged by adaydreamer to mention the weird things about me and I came up with this list:

1- I don’t mind sleeping when the lights on or when the lights off and it depends on the time I am sleeping in. If it was a nap in the afternoon or even at night I leave the lights on so I can easily check the time and wake up. If it was the main sleep, it has to be in total darkness and it has to be quiet except for the sound of the AC, the fan or the computer fan.

2- I used to study for my exams in front of the TV. The reason is that I can’t study without that kind of noise or I will fall asleep. I tried to study in my room but I always end up sleeping and wasting some hours!

3- I have noticed that whenever I wear a long sleeves shirt I lift 1 sleeve up to reach my elbow (usually right one) and leave the other not lifted.

4- I don’t write my poems on paper, I go directly to the PC and write them.

5- I don’t like dust at all. When my hands touch a dusty place even if it was a little dust, I don’t feel comfortable and I won’t be able to sleep until I wash my hands few times with soap.

6- I don’t open public toilets doors using my bare hand. I have to use a tissue or something because I know many people don’t wash their hands when they finish!

7- I keep all the empty boxes of the things I buy whether they are TVs, shoes or computer stuff! My room is full of them and my mom always tells me to through them away but I just can’t! I feel attached to them.

Silver Moon

2006-01-21T23:03:00.000+03:00

Here is my latest poem. Enjoy :D

Silver Moon

Silver moon shines in the sky above
And the light fills my soul
As I try to empty my heart from the love
That prevented me from being whole
Looking for the lost source of inspiration
While sitting here with no motivation
Wasted effort and wasted time
Trying to think of the perfect rhyme

Maybe a dance under the moonlight
Will help me to ease the pain
And if it was not for the moon shining bright
You would have seen me dancing insane
I know I must forget you, upon this night
And try not to remember you again

Set The World On Fire

2006-01-11T02:27:00.000+03:00

My latest poem! I think I have something burning inside me :p

And the photo looks great right? :D

Set The World On Fire

Set the world on unholy fire
Where the fuel is anger and hate
Burn the thoughts and the mad desire
Of defying destiny and fate

Set the world on fire and watch it burn
And behind, leave all those saints and sinners
Who cares, do not turn back do not return
Let them all burn, losers or winners

Hell on Earth will be breaking loose
And Heaven above shall be waiting for you
Do not fall for tricks or calls for a truce
Burn the world; let it be built anew

Happy Anniversary

2005-12-28T21:57:00.000+03:00

A year ago in the cold winter, Hopeless Rhymes was born. The plan was not to post poems, just the normal posts but then I found that I don't have that much of beneficial things to say! So I ended up posting the only thing I THINK I am good at!

I will keep it short so I want just to thank all of those bloggers and non-bloggers who supported me from the start till now and those who supported me at the start and decided to disappear or to stop commenting :P

Thank you all.

Song of The Christmas : Forever Loving You

2005-12-24T23:58:00.000+03:00

Well I used to have a weekly post called song of the week but I stopped so now when I thought of the title I figured that I can't use the term week so I chose Christmas since it is the time ;)

A country song for not very well known artist "Julian Austin" called "Forever Loving You"

Everytime i see you smile
I can't help but smile
I love the way your eyes
Say they love me

I love it when you hold me close
The scent of you left on my clothes
The tenderness of your kiss moves me

Girl you're more than everything
You're in my heart,
My soul,
You're the air I breath
You're everything that i been missin in my life

Chorus:
And I'll always be, forever loving you
Its just meant to be, it all I wanna do...
You're everything my heart has ever known
And girl, you mean more than life to me,
And without you girl it wouldnt mean a thing
Until its my time to go,
I'll love you more than you'll ever know

There so many little things,
In my life, that you bring
Like the way you hold me,
When we're sleeping.

I wouldnt feel the way i do,
If you didnt give me a love so true.
You're the hopes and dreams that I believe in

Girl you not just everything,
My best friend you'll always be
You're everything,
that i need in my life

Chorus

I swear that it'll always be,
A time for you and me,
Girl i love you so........

Girl ill always be forever loving you,
Its just meant to be,
Its what i want to do
You're everything my heart has every known,
And girl you mean,
more than life to me,
And without you girl,
It wouldnt mean a thing,
Until its my time to go...

Until its my time to go...

I'll love you more than you'll ever know.....

A Moon's Serenade

2005-12-14T09:49:00.000+03:00

Finally! I am here again and posting! It's been a long time! Very very long! Did anybody miss me? :P

Anyway here is my latest poem and I am glad that I have finished it! Enjoy it until the next time I post something new :D

A Moon's Serenade

Here we are sitting on the edge of the moon
Watching the world below
The stars and the planets around us croon
Our entwined fingers are dancing slow
We are no birds be we were able to fly
And for once in our lives we are ruling the sky

Listen to the sound of a wonderful serenade
Drift into a dream while I am holding your hands
Do not let the brightness in your eyes ever fade
Let me breathe the breeze that passed through your strands
I like it when the scent of you fills my senses
And I stop thinking when I see your smile
One touch you can touch me and it will shatter all my defenses
Then I am yours for a lifetime, not only for a while

Forest of Magic

2005-11-20T16:56:00.000+03:00

It's been a long time since I've posted a poem! So here it goes, something I wrote long time ago and I've just finished it recently.

Forest of Magic

Its beauty, so alluring
Silently, speaking to you
Words that are curing
Guiding you through
There is a mysterious voice calling
Softly, whispering in your ears
A dazzling winds howling
And a shadow from far appears
Widely opening its arms
Inviting you to come along
With its irresistible charms
You lose the sense of right and wrong

You feel the magic of this place
As you drown into temptation
A temporary pleasure to embrace
Is it real or just your imagination?
So you walk few steps ahead
Not expecting what to find
Many thoughts are in your head
About the real world you left behind
And the fairy tales you have read before
Are nothing like what you have seen
A sensation that you cannot ignore
So peaceful and so serene

Tom and Jerry

2005-11-12T14:45:00.000+03:00

While watching this immortal cartoon yesterday, so many thoughts and memories came to my mind. Unfortunately, not all of them were that good! Of course no one likes to remember the many encounters with this not so good animal! The rat or mouse!!

Our home was cursed by having them when I was a kid and because of the location, we still get some every now and then! Well not much, you can say one or two every three years! I remember when I was a kid we used to hear their sounds when we were watching TV. They used to have a place behind the TV table. That time the regular traps with a piece of cheese worked. So we got rid of all of them almost and we thought we had an eternal peace.

Few years back while your poet was trying to watch TV in his living room, he heard this movement sound on the ground. He looked around and saw nothing. He thought, it must be the wind :P. He continued watching TV until he saw that ugly SOB peeking! So he screamed SHIT! A rat in my living room! And being so scared (yeah those ugly animals scare me, I rather face a lion and die than a mouse :P) He went to the expert; his father :D So everything was prepared and traps, cheese and poison. Next morning, bingo! The rat was caught! He was sentenced to death in a nearby trash dumpster. Peace at last! Hell no! The next night I saw another one walking around and being so proud of himself! So again I went to the expert and again the traps and so on.. Next morning.. nothing.. the next morning .. also nothing.. either he left or he is too smart! Yeah he is smarter than his predecessor. The expert at home could not catch him. He had to call the professional experts. The workers in the farm came and looked around here and there and finally the bad rat was found hiding in the stairs room inside a steel pipe. They killed him at last! In brutal way I should add ;)
The damage those rats did was notable; they chew the edge of the carpet and they cut the phone cable that I used to use to connect while I was watching TV.

After two years of peace, and in the holy month of Ramadhan before almost 2 years, again one of them came home. This time he entered the kitchen through the window which was left open unintentionally. My sister saw him while she was opening the oven! Yes dear readers, this SOB managed to get inside the oven and tasted our Ramadhanic food! And thank god my sister saw him or we would have probably eaten that food! YUCK! So again the expert was called to the battle and this time we managed to kill him manually! A rug was used to blind him and then maybe a wooden stick :D We made sure the window is locked properly at night and we went to sleep. Yours truly came from work just to see that the net thing in the window was torn and I announced the news. We set up the traps and so on and used that powerful glow and put it beside the window. Next morning, bingo!! Not one, they were two! Two ugly mice were caught and I guess the maid smashed their heads with a rock after seeing them stuck in the glow :P
I took a photo of them but I lose it :(

Before few days, I was reading in the news paper about a small Norwegian mouse that was put in an island and there was a censor on him but still he survived all the traps and was even able to travel to another island until finally he was caught!
Now who made these animals so smart? Did they transfer the knowledge they gained about the traps from generation to another? Or the mad scientists made them that way??

Another point is, why does Jerry represent the good in that cartoon while Tom is the evil? Why are they lying on the kids that follow it? It is misleading :P

The holiday had ended and I am back to work! BOOOOOORING!

Anyway, just before few days I finished reading Dan Brown's Angels & Demons which was the 4th and last novel for him that I read.

I read them in this order:

1- The Da Vinci Code (his 4th novel) <-- too famous to talk about.
2- Deception Point (his 2nd novel) <-- about NASA and so on.
3- Digital Fortress (his 1st novel) <-- about NSA and digital world.
4- Angels & Demons (his 3rd novel) <-- you can say it is the 1st part of Da Vinci Code. Langdon 1st adventure.

I must say that the author put a lot of effort to come up with these novels. I think that the time he spent researching the facts and figures for each novel was more than the time he spent to write the actual novel itself!

I am not sure what is the right categorization for these novels, but the way I see them is that they are action thrillers! Sometimes I even think that the action is way too much! The main characters are either being chased or they are the ones who are chasing! Also there is a pattern that I have noticed but I am not gonna write about it here so that I don't spoil the fun of reading them for those who haven't read them all yet!

As for The Da Vinci Code movie, Tom Hanks will be the main character which is Robert Langdon and the movie is directed by Ron Haward and it is expected to be out in 2006! Thank god they chose an actor who I like watching movies for! Imagine they chose Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise?? That totally will turn me off and will make me hate the novel and even Dan Brown :P

Now I am waiting for the 5th novel, anybody has an idea about it? The story line and the date or something?

Song of The Eid: Making Love Out of Nothing at All

2005-11-04T01:27:00.000+03:00

Hello and kel 3am wento bkhair :D

It's been ages since I have posted a song that I like here and I guess the eid is a good occasion to do so. So here you go, one of the classic romantic songs :D

Making Love Out of Nothing at All By Air Supply (click on the song title to go to the song page and the song should start and if it didn't, then your browser sucks and you have to setup the pluggins for real player or windows media)

I know just how to whisper, and I know just how to cry;
I know just where to find the answers; and I know just how to lie.
I know just how to fake it, and I know just how to scheme;
I know just when to face the truth, and then I know just when to dream.

And I know just where to touch you, and I know just what to prove;
I know when to pull you closer, and I know when to let you loose.
And I know the night is fading, and I know that time's gonna fly;
and I'm never gonna tell you everything I've got to tell you,
but I know I've got to give it a try.

And I know the roads to riches, and I know the ways to fame;
I know all the rules and then I know how to break 'em
and I always know the name of the game.

But I don't know how to leave you, and I'll never let you fall;
and I don't know how you do it, making love out of nothing at all
(Making love) out of nothing at all,
(making love) out of nothing at all,
(making love) out of nothing at all,
(making love) out of nothing at all,
(making love) out of nothing at all
(making love) out of nothing at all.

Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
are streaming through the waves in your hair;
and every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight,
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
and it's looking for a rhythm like you.
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
and turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright.
I've got to follow it, 'cause everything I know,
well it's nothing till I give it to you.

I can make the run or stumble, I can make the final block;
And I can make every tackle, at the sound of the whistle,
I can make all the stadiums rock.
I can make tonight forever, Or I can make it disappear by the dawn;
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made,
And I can make all your demons be gone.

But I'm never gonna make it without you, Do you really want to see me crawl?
And I'm never gonna make it like you do, Making love out of nothing at all.
(Making love) out of nothing at all
(making love) out of nothing at all
(making love) out of nothing at all
(making love) out of nothing at all
(making love) out of nothing at all
(making love) out of nothing at all
(making love)

So I Have Met Raul Gonzalez

2005-10-29T12:55:00.000+03:00

Before 3 nights I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with this famous football player from Spain. For you who does not know him, he is the golden boy of Real Madrid, Raul Gonzalez. So where did we meet and what did we talk about?
Well last Wednesday Real Madrid played against Depertivo La Coruna and were defeated 3-1 :D
And since I am not much of a fan of the Royal Team, I was happy :D
I entered mirc and I chatted with some people who support Real Madrid and I made fun of their team in a logic way I must add ;) I think that night we had talked too much! Then it was my time to sleep and I said bye and covered myself well and I started to dream! I dreamed that I was in a room in my house where we used to play table tennis and even football and there were some board games on the shelves and a lettter. I read that letter and I was surprised to know that it was a letter from Raul Gonzalez announcing his retirement from football ** I think he is retiring because his team is losing all the time and has no chance to win any trophy any time soon :P ** and it contained some information about him! What surprised me more in that letter is that it contained a list of books he is said he read! I didn't recognize any book but their titles looked like they are important books :P

Well anyway, then I woke up and decided that I should post something about this dream! It is not like everyday I get to dream about someone famous :P

Nostalgic: Saving Nickels, Saving Dimes

2005-10-24T13:12:00.000+03:00

Since I don’t have much to talk about considering my not so interesting life currently and I don’t have a new poem to post, I have decided once again to take a journey down the memory lane and talk a little about my childhood memories. :D

So this is the 3rd episode of my Nostalgic series (Nostalgic & Nostalgic: Up On The Roof) and since the Eid is coming soon (Kel 3am wo ento eb khair) and I remembered the money I used to get but no more since they stopped giving me anything long time ago! Now I have turned to a giver and the kids wait for me to give them their 3eediyas :D
I remember that time and having no wallet, I and my business partner (my younger brother) used to share everything including money and gifts and anything that can be shared. We used to use those empty biscuit and ice cream boxes and store our money and things there. In our small room, that we also shared, we used to have small cabinets and we use to put the boxes in them. Later we became over suspicious, maybe because we used to read too much of those adventures for Ta5ta5 and his friends (el mo`3ameroon el 5amsa) so we decided to hide our stuff somewhere that nobody can find them whether it was our older sister, cousins or even our parents. We thought of digging a hole and putting the stuff there, but we realized it was not treasury so we had this brilliant idea of hiding them in the ceiling! Having that type of decoration which you can lift up the pieces and put stuff there where no one can see them. I even thought that I can hide illegal things there and cops won’t find them no matter what :P

Then we grew up a little and moved to a bigger room and a bigger bed while my brother got a smaller bed, we fancied the small lockers that have keys and a combination lock. We bought a blue one and we kept all our savings there and until now I have it in my room, but unfortunately empty, except for some coins :P

Paper, Pen, Rhymes and Dreams

2005-10-18T13:39:00.000+03:00

Hello, here is one of those crazy poems that I am writing recently! So soon I think I will start seeing those things happen to me and I will start hallucinating :P

Paper, Pen, Rhymes and Dreams

My plain paper talks to me
And tells me the secrets of poetry
While my pen dances freely on it
My fingers soon will submit
To the music of the written words
To the letters flying around like birds
Until I get lost between the rhymes
Of love, hope and desperate times

I let my thoughts swim in the yellow pages
Of some ancient books and tales from the past
While my memories are imprisoned in rusty cages
For as long as this pain is set to last
But I have found a refuge in my dreams
Surrounded by sunshine and moonlight beams
Where reality is nothing like the way it seems

I and the Poet

2005-10-12T08:41:00.000+03:00

*cough cough *Cleans up the dust from the blog :P

Hello all! It's been so long since I have posted anything here! The blog got dusty. No worries though, I got it all cleaned up and I put some "bukhoor" also for you my dear visitors ;)

I came to you with this new poem. I have finished it sometime ago and I just added a stanza today so I hope you like it. It is kinda a complimentary poem "qaseedat mad7" for myself lool :P

I and the Poet

In my self-chosen isolation
I live a life of my own choice
Surrounded by my own shadows
And hearing my own voice

Lost in this harsh reality
And was found in one of my own
I get my thoughts to my company
Feeling lonely and long to be alone

I write stories on the wall
That only dreamers can read
And I draw paintings of fantasies
All imaginations, will exceed

I create a different world
Of so many beautiful things
And fly around the blue sky
With my poetic wings

I plant flowers between the lines
And my ink waters the trees
And my poems they have a scent
When you read you feel the breeze

Haikus

2005-10-03T17:58:00.000+03:00

These are my first tries with the type of peotry called "Haiku". I am not that well familiar with it so you will have to excuse me if I didn't do well ^-^

Waves of the sea
Wrestle the warm winds
Sadness washed away

Naked trees
And beds of snow
But hearts are warm

Her cold breath
Warm on my face
Like scent of a rose

I Have Not Lost The Passion

2005-09-23T20:12:00.000+03:00

Here is one of my latest poems that I have written in less than 2 hours! So enjoy :D

I Have Not Lost the Passion

I have not lost the passion yet
To have a walk along the beach
And to enjoy the romantic sunset
To dream about walking on the clouds
Even if they are out of my reach
And I am lost among the crowds

I have not lost the passion to smile
To a strange kid passing by
Or to a newly wed walking down the aisle
And to laugh or tell a joke
Sometimes to cry
And with my tears I choke

I have not lost my passion for you
And I never will
And to love you all my life through
To cherish every moment we spent
Together and we still
Forever to each other we were meant

27!

Song Of The Week: I'll Be

2005-09-12T17:06:00.000+03:00

It's been a while since I have posted a song so here is one I believe that it is a classic though it was released back in the 90s :D

I'll Be by Edwin McCain (Click on the title to go to the song page)

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said

I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life

Blue

2005-09-10T14:35:00.000+03:00

Well I am back to work and I am hating it! And I also didn't post something in more than a week! So I was thinking that I may post something about my 1st day at work after the vacation but I didn't wanna complain that much :P
Finally I decided to post a poem I wrote sometime ago and it is called "Blue". It is an alternation between the color blue and the state of being blue.

Blue as the sky in a spring morning
Blue as my tears falling without a warning
Blue as the ribbon tying your hair
Blue as my heart beating in despair
Blue as the ocean waves gently flow
Blue as my pain starts to grow
Blue as the color of your eyes
Blue as my soul vainly cries
Blue as the beautiful color of blue
Blue as my poem written for you

The Water Stream

2005-09-01T05:50:00.000+03:00

Here is my latest poem and I am glad that I have finished it before I travel back home :D

The Water Stream

In the heart of a garden runs a water stream
It gently flows until it reaches the sea
The flowers and the trees are dancing just like a dream
And all the birds are singing in a glee
A garden full of wonder and grace
But nothing compares to the beauty of your face

Must I get lost in this wonderful scene
Must I not wake up if it was just a dream
Shall I confess to the garden's queen?
Or just whisper my love to the water stream
And one day, as you pass, my whispers you will hear
And you will see by your eyes, reflection of my love so clear

Do my eyes cheat me? I think I see you standing there
Waiting under the shade of a far away tree
Rays of the sun are flowing through your hair
And the look in your eyes, sending a clear message to me
That you have been waiting for this moment all along
To stand not far away from the one to whom you belong

Song of The Week: Longer

2005-08-22T10:01:00.000+03:00

Oh my god! So many Mondays passed by without posting any song or poem of the week! But alas! Yours truly has found the song he was looking for and he is gonna post it!
Remember my post about Dan Fogelberg? I have found a song for him online and here it is! Enjoy reading and listening to what is really a GREAT song! It was my first song I hear from him and that was in 2001 and I liked him since!

Longer (Click on the title to go to the song page- the lyrics there are not fully correct)

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you

I'll bring fire in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you

Blood Related

2005-08-18T10:36:00.000+03:00

A short poem I have just finished and it didn't take me much to think of the words which is good :D

It is called "Blood Related" and it is about family members who just let's say don't know anything about other family members. And I don't mean distant relatives, I mean brothers, cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts and uncles.

Blood related but we act like strangers

Not once I remember we have met

Remain as we are, or things changers

Life is short and shorter, it can only get

Brought up differently and miles apart

But we still share some common things

And no matter what, we still can start

A friendship, and enjoy the joy it brings

River View

2005-08-18T08:03:00.000+03:00

These are 2 photos showing the river which is just a street away from where I am currently staying! Isn't the view amazing? Look at the clouds! I think I can walk on them! They look so thick and they can handle me :P

Dan Fogelberg

2005-08-14T07:02:00.000+03:00

Dan Fogelberg is one of my favorite singers and I guess that most of my regular visitors never heard of him! As usual :P
He is a folk/rock singer who has a wonderful voice and who emerged in the music scene during the 70's and 80's with such songs like Longer, Make Love Stay, Hard to Say and Leader of the Band where he sang about his father who was a bandleader ( the best lines from that song is when he says: I thank you for the music and your stories of the road -- I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go -- I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough -- And, papa, I don't think I said 'I love you' near enough) it almost makes me wanna cry when I listen to those lines in particular!

I highly recommend this artist to listen to if you are fed up with the crap they dare to call music these days!
For more information and lyrics check his official site Dan Fogelberg.

* The photo is from 1975 so if anybody decided to listen just because of the looks I am warning you that he changed a little bit now :P

In Canada

2005-08-12T01:34:00.000+03:00

Hello people,
I think you might have been wondering where I have disappeared so it is time to tell you all that I am currently in Canada and in Edmonton to be exact :D

The Night

2005-08-02T23:57:00.000+03:00

Finally I managed to finish this poem! I started writing it back in last winter and now summer is almost done! Yes that is how slow I am sometimes :D
Well it is about something I am planning to do when I get married and that is to let my wife sleep and stay up all night watching her sleeping till she wakes up and I will bring the breakfast to her in bed! I sound crazy I know but I think I can do it ;)

So here is the poem, enjoy

The Night

My sweetheart, you know how I long to touch you
So please do not think I don't want to make love anymore
It is not that I do not want to hold you the whole night through
But tonight just let me look at you like I never did before

So just lie on the bed and get into a peaceful sleep
Don't worry, I won't be far away I'll just sit on the chair beside the bed
I'll safely guard your dreams while you are in slumber deep
And I'll give you some of mine to hide under the pillow beneath your head

I know it is a cold night, and I should be with you under the covers
But watching sleeping like an angel will surely send warmth into my heart
And it's just amazing, this feeling of love above us hovers
And the bond between us so strong that no one can tear us apart

I promise you I'll stay silent all night and I won't say a word
Until the morning comes and it's time for you to be awake
I'll serve you breakfast in bed, just like you have always preferred
And this is just a small thing of what I'll do for your sake

Poem Of The Week: She Walks In Beauty

2005-07-25T07:05:00.000+03:00

I should have posted this last Monday but I wanted my poem "Love" to have more time to get comments ;)

So this poem is called "She Walks In Beauty" and was written by Lord George Gordan Byron and I hope you all like it :)

She walks in Beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Hopefully married with kids and got promoted more than once in my job :D

And as usual I tag nobody :D

Love

2005-07-16T19:14:00.000+03:00

My poem today talks about "Love" which I think the only thing in my life that always goes wrong :D
I am starting to hate love and I mean the love between a man and a woman not the other types of love! :P

So enjoy reading and I am sure many will relate to the poem which I started writing long ago but just finished it today ;)

Love

Love, how can it be defined
Ruled by the heart or the mind
Opens your eyes or makes you blind
Heaven or hell that you may find

You will never know when to fall
And you lose yourself control
And the changes in your heart and soul
And your willingness to give it all

The nights you spend all awake
Thinking if it is right or a big mistake
The things you will do for the other's sake
The eternal happiness or the heartbreak

Love is that indescribable feeling
It is the pure air, which you are inhaling
When you are sick, it has the healing
The compass that guide you when you are sailing

It gives you wings when you need to fly
And builds castles up in the sky
It makes you laugh and makes you cry
And it makes your tears run dry

Love is that what mends a broken heart
And keeps it safe from all the spite
Even if it is love that broke that heart in the start
Only God knows how many will be broken tonight

Song Of The Week: Right to Remain Silent

2005-07-12T06:30:00.000+03:00

I have been listening to this song for like 5 times daily now since I have known about it. It is performed by a not so famous country band called "Perfect Stranger" and basically I don't know anything about them!

Right to Remain Silent

Can I have this dance, my you're looking pretty
Is there something wrong, did he leave you hurting
I don't mean to pry, but that tear in your eye, gave you away
If you don't want to talk, we'll keep it quiet
But sometimes a heartache hurts worse if you hide it
I think there's a chance, one slow dance
Might ease the pain...

You have the right to remain silent
Anything that you say as I hold you against me
Will forever be a secret, between us two
I've been wanting you, but you didn't know it
And now that he's gone, at last I can show it
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me

So many times my eyes have held you
Tonight please give my arms that chance
If you don't feel the need for conversation
We'll just let our hearts talk while we dance...

You have the right to remain silent
Anything that you say as I hold you against me
Will forever be a secret, between us two
I've been wanting you, but you didn't know it
And now that he's gone, at last I can show it
If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me

If your heart is tired, for the rest of your life
Lay your love on me

Poem Of The Week :Loss and Gain

2005-07-04T14:45:00.000+03:00

The poem today was written by the "Henry Wadsworth Longfellow" and I can say that he has a nice name :P

Loss and Gain

When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.

A Poet's Insanity

2005-06-29T09:22:00.000+03:00

Here is my latest poem which talks about how insane my dreams are :D

A Poet's Insanity

Send me beyond the clouds and lay me down
Beneath the twilight where the sun meets the moon
Somewhere among the stars my soul is set to drown
Maybe it is a dream, so don't wake me up too soon

Let me dream and be whoever I want to be
Maybe I will be the darkness when the night falls
Or I will be the light to set the world free
Or the sun hiding behind some shattered walls

Visions of me falling along side the pouring rain
Or travel like the clouds in slow motion
And probably you are thinking that I am insane
Then watch me dive in the sky's deepest ocean

I may even drown in a small drop of tear
Sail the seas among the brownness of my lover’s eyes
Or sit on the palms of the tender hands I revere
Hopeless dreams, I know, but who said poets are wise?

Song Of The Week: The River

2005-06-27T15:52:00.000+03:00

This song is one of my favorites for "Garth Brooks" who is already a legend in country music.
I hope you all like it :)

The River (Click on the title to go to the song page)

You know a dream is like a river
Everchanging as it flows
And the dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores...

And I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry...

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry...

There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry...

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry...

Poem Of The Week: The Captive Dove

2005-06-20T23:19:00.000+03:00

This poem is by one of the 3 Bronte Sisters who all have lived a short but rich life. "The Captive Dove" by "Anne Bronte"

Poor restless dove, I pity thee;
And when I hear thy plaintive moan,
I mourn for thy captivity,
And in thy woes forget mine own.

To see thee stand prepared to fly,
And flap those useless wings of thine,
And gaze into the distant sky,
Would melt a harder heart than mine.

In vain in vain! Thou canst not rise:
Thy prison roof confines thee there;
Its slender wires delude thine eyes,
And quench thy longings with despair.

Oh, thou wert made to wander free
In sunny mead and shady grove,
And, far beyond the rolling sea,
In distant climes, at will to rove!

Yet, hadst thou but one gentle mate
Thy little drooping heart to cheer,
And share with thee thy captive state,
Thou couldst be happy even there.

Yes, even there, if, listening by,
One faithful dear companion stood,
While gazing on her full bright eye,
Thou mightst forget thy native wood.

But thou, poor solitary dove,
Must make, unheard, thy joyless moan;
The heart, that Nature formed to love,
Must pine, neglected, and alone.

A Winter Night’s Poem

2005-06-18T13:55:00.000+03:00

Before any of you say anything, I know we are in the middle of summer now so don't think that I am crazy writing poems about winter. The story is that I started writing it in winter and I only managed to finish it during last weekend.

A Winter Night’s Poem

A black owl howling outside the cottage
With a sound sending shivers to the spine
A broken heart pulled out form the wreckage
God only knows if it yours or it is mine

Very cold is the night in this winter season
It seems that the warmth has disappeared in the dark
And people are being hurt without a reason
Even the smallest wound leaves a mark

We hear a silent cry from a lost soul
The cry for help and the need to be found
And of our lives we try to be in control
Since we were born and until we are laid in the ground

We have lost the purpose and fallen into the abyss
And we tend to sweet cover most of our crimes
Alone we stay still and we reminisce
All the mistakes we have done in the past times

Song Of The Week: Do You Dream of Me?

2005-06-13T22:25:00.000+03:00

Hello,
The song for this week is a very very romantic song from "Michael W. Smith" and I am sure not many of you heard of him :D

Do You Dream of Me (Click on the title to listen to the song)

Dreams within the still of night
On wings of hope take flight inside of me
There upon the distant shore
We want for nothing more that what will be
And you and I, here we are
I wonder as we've come this far...

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

Love has found a magic space
A deep and hidden place
Where time stands still
Now I hold you in my arms
You know you hold my heart, and always will

And you and I, here we are
And it's a wonder that we've come this far

And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?

Top 10 Albums Titles According to Me

2005-06-11T03:47:00.000+03:00

The main reason we buy an album is of course the band or the artist that the album belongs to. But did anybody buy an album just because he or she liked the title of that album?? I think I have did it once or twice and made the risk of buying an album for a band I never heard of which is rare because I know most of the famous bands and artists :P

So here are the top 10 albums titles according to me:

10. Boats Against the Current - Eric Carmen
9. Photographs & Memories - Jim Croce
8. Yourself Or Someone Like You - Matchbox 20
7. Breathless - Kenny G
6. Darkness on the Edge of Town - Bruce Springsteen
5. News From Nowhere - Air Supply
4. My Own Best Enemy - Richard Marx
3. This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours - Manic Street Preachers
2. Through the Looking Glass - Toto
1. Painted Desert Serenade - Joshua Kadison

I might have forgotten another titles that I really like but these what I could think of when writing this post!

Your Name

2005-06-08T20:27:00.000+03:00

Here is my latest poem and it is called "Your Name" ^.^

Let the flowers whisper your name
With every passing breeze
While the birds sing your name
When they fly among the trees

The mountains will joyfully dance
To the rhythm of your name
And the stars will take a glance
At the beauty of your name

All the letters in your name
Sparkle and shine in the darkness
And all the names beside your name
Vanish and fade out in silence

And be sure that I would write
A poem about your name
And recite it upon the night
Until the dawn memorizes your name

Poem Of The Week :The Call

2005-06-06T15:27:00.000+03:00

The poem for this week is "The Call" for "Rupert Brooke" and please don't confuse this poem with the song that has the same title from Backstreet Boys :p

Out of the nothingness of sleep,
The slow dreams of Eternity,
There was a thunder on the deep:
I came, because you called to me.

I broke the Night's primeval bars,
I dared the old abysmal curse,
And flashed through ranks of frightened stars
Suddenly on the universe!

The eternal silences were broken;
Hell became Heaven as I passed. --
What shall I give you as a token,
A sign that we have met, at last?

I'll break and forge the stars anew,
Shatter the heavens with a song;
Immortal in my love for you,
Because I love you, very strong.

Your mouth shall mock the old and wise,
Your laugh shall fill the world with flame,
I'll write upon the shrinking skies
The scarlet splendour of your name,

Till Heaven cracks, and Hell thereunder
Dies in her ultimate mad fire,
And darkness falls, with scornful thunder,
On dreams of men and men's desire.

Then only in the empty spaces,
Death, walking very silently,
Shall fear the glory of our faces
Through all the dark infinity.

So, clothed about with perfect love,
The eternal end shall find us one,
Alone above the Night, above
The dust of the dead gods, alone.

Night by the Ocean

2005-06-01T18:25:00.000+03:00

Finally I have managed to finish a poem and it didn't take me more than two days to finish this one! While I have unfinished poems that I have started writing before months but for a reason or another I am stuck in the middle!
Anyway this poem is called "Night by the Ocean" though I have never seen any ocean in my life before :P

The hasty waves of the ocean
Washes away the footprints on the sand
And the cold breeze moving in slow motion
Strikes my face and does not stop where I stand
It goes on and it is like a healing potion
Prescribed for the broken hearted land

And when the ocean embraces the shore
Like a hopeless lover waiting to belong
The sky is joyous like never before
While the ocean's waves sing a song
Such a perfect scene is impossible to ignore
A hopeless poet like me cannot but write along

On the page of water, reflection of the moon
So clear, sending comfort to the wondering eye
And the stars dance to a lovely tune
Played by the water, sand and the sky
But all of that is going to end so soon
When the morning breathes its first sigh

Song Of The Week: Bridge Over Troubled Water

2005-05-30T08:14:00.000+03:00

I think you have noticed that I only post once a week currently and it is the copy and paste post but I am all out of ideas and I can't finish any poem I have started. Anyway I have been hunting for good songs to share with you and I came across this song. I have known the band or the duet "Simon & Garfunkel" long time ago but for some reason I didn't care to listen to this song until recently! My favorite song was "The Sound of Silence". So our song for this week is called "Bridge Over Troubled Water". Read the lyrics and listen to the song and hopefully you will like it like I did.

When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I’m on your side. when times get rough
And friends just can’t be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

When you’re down and out,
When you’re on the street,
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you.
I’ll take your part.
When darkness comes
And pains is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
