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
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
*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
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
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
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
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

Song Of The Week: I'll Be
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
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
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
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

The Last Post
Ok this is not actually my last post but I was thinking of what shall I write in my last post in my blog when I decide to call it a day! So I thought about a simple goodbye and that is it or even leave without a warning! But I just thought of that as boring! And since most bloggers here like controversy, I decided that in my last post, I am gonna reveal my HATE list of the bloggers and say why I hate them and so on :D And of course I will mention the good bloggers who I will miss dearly when I leave!
So stay tuned to the hopeless finale of this so hopeless blog!
Not so soon though ;)

Song of The Week: Longer
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
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
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
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

The Night
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
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

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
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!

Love
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
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

Poem Of The Week :Loss and Gain
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
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
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...
I hope you all like it :)

Poem Of The Week: The Captive Dove
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.
Poor restless dove, I pity thee;
And when I hear thy plaintive moan,

And in thy woes forget mine own.

Would melt a harder heart than mine.
In vain in vain! Thou canst not rise:

And quench thy longings with despair.

A Winter Night’s Poem
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?
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

And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you

Top 10 Albums Titles According to Me
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.

Poem Of The Week : I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
It has been a week now since I have posted anything new and you can say that I am in an empty mind state! I can't write a poem or any other post and not to mention that the blogs are currently blocked where I work!!!
Well since it is Monday and it is the poem's week, I brought to you this classic poem called: "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by "William Wordsworth"
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Song Of The Week: You Had Me From Hello
It is the song week this Monday and I've decided to post this beautiful song by "Kenny Chesney". Maybe the name sounds familiar to you and heard of this guy lately! Well he was all over the news last week after he got married to the famous actress "Rene Zellweger".
You Had Me From Hello
One word, that's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me
And you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will
Well you, had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you owned me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know
You had me from hello
Inside, I built the walls
So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time, I let someone in
But you, had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you owned me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had the chance you know
You had me from hello
That's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head
You had me from hello
You had me from hello
Girl I've loved you from hello
You Had Me From Hello
One word, that's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head.
Your smile, just captured me
And you were in my future as far as I could see
And I don't know how it happened, but it happened still
You asked me if I love you, if I always will
Well you, had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you owned me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had a chance you know

So high around my heart, I thought I'd never fall
One touch, you brought it down
The bricks of my defenses scattered on the ground
And I swore to me I wasn't gonna love again
The last time was the last time, I let someone in
But you, had me from hello
I felt love start to grow
The moment that I looked into your eyes, you owned me
It was over from the start
You completely stole my heart
And now you won't let go
I never even had the chance you know
You had me from hello
That's all you said
Somethin' in your voice caused me to turn my head
You had me from hello
You had me from hello
Girl I've loved you from hello

A Different Kind of Melody
Here is my latest poem. A fantasy mixed with nature.
A Different Kind of Melody
Look at the leaves falling from the trees
Hear to the voice of the naked branches singing loud
Wait for the rain to fall from that lonely wondering cloud
And dance to the beat of a different kind of melody
Smell the freshness of air traveling with the breeze
Fill your mind and senses with the beautiful scene
Lose yourself to the moment so peaceful and serene
And enjoy the beat of a different kind of melody
Raise your hands to the sky; try to catch a moonlight beam
Stare at the eye of the sun, and do not ever blink
Climb over the highest mountain and get close to the brink
Dive in the sky and create your different kind of melody
Close your eyes and drift into a long daydream
Let your imagination takes you to this heavenly place
Swim beyond that shore, kind things are waiting for you to embrace
And there it will be played, a different kind of melody

Nostalgic: Up On The Roof
I have talked before in one of my earliest posts which was Nostalgic about how Johnson's Baby Shampoo (which I use currently :P) reminded me of my childhood days and the old beautiful cartoons and while I was surfing the net today I came across a site with the cartoons songs and I listened to this one "Al7adeeqa AlSerreyah- The Secret Garden" though I don't remember watching this cartoon but I liked the song! Then my thoughts went back in time and I remembered some of the action in my childhood and early teenage hood. My cousin, my brother and I used to build us a small tent or some kind of a hut on the roof of our house using two wooden posts and some wood plates and some old rigs. We used to spend great times there specially during Ramadan at night where we have some candles to light the place or a flashlight. Also we used to hang out there during winter. We used it for fun, we smoked there even :P and we used it to hide from our parents :D
We really had great times up on the roof! We used to play football there with my other younger cousins and my nephew. We had very intense matches :D. I think even the girls played with us when they were small :P My mom used to get mad when we play there saying one day you will make the house fall on us!!
We used to have small cars with pedals for kids and they were quite old that time so we thought of ourselves as engineers and decided to build a caravan or a trailer to drive out in the street. We brought some wood and steel and some tools and started to build it. I think we only managed to dismantle the old cars and put a wood plate on the tires then we just gave up and decided to not waste time on this. That time we were thinking of after we finish it, how can we get it down to the street? :P
During the winter exams period which is after the 1st term of the year, my brother and I decided to go and study on the roof and we took a carpet and made tea and went there. It felt like we are camping :D The weather was perfect, the sky was blue with some white clouds and the birds were singing on the TV aerial. We enjoyed catching flies too ;). When we finished drinking all the tea, our cups became sticky with what is left of the tea and that attracted the flies so they enter the cup and we directly blocked on them with our hands then we put them in a plastic bag. Then after a while we release them :D. Too bad they were not butterflies! That would have made the whole scene more perfect.
Some people have a secret garden and I have the roof ;)

Poem Of The Week: A Dream
So as we agreed in the previous post it's gonna be a poem in a week and a song in the week after.
So my first poem is a classic one by "William Blake" called "A Dream".
Once a dream did weave a shade
O'er my angel-guarded bed,
That an emmet lost its way
Where on grass methought I lay.
Troubled, wildered, and forlorn,
Dark, benighted, travel-worn,
Over many a tangle spray,
All heart-broke, I heard her say:
"Oh my children! do they cry,
Do they hear their father sigh?
Now they look abroad to see,
Now return and weep for me."
Pitying, I dropped a tear:
But I saw a glow-worm near,
Who replied, "What wailing wight
Calls the watchman of the night?
"I am set to light the ground,
While the beetle goes his round:
Follow now the beetle's hum;
Little wanderer, hie thee home!"

A Song or a Poem?
Hello dear readers,
I am thinking of changing my blog plans and I wanted to take your opinion about it. Currently I have a copy and paste post which is the song of the week post but I kinda got bored of that. So do you think replacing the song with a poem of the week is a good idea? Of course the poem that will be posted is written by some famous poet and not my own work. Or I post a song this week and the week next will be a poem then a song then a poem? Or I cancel the whole weekly post? Or even the whole blog? It is up to you my dear readers. I am applying real democracy here ;)
Have a nice day!

Weekend Syndrome
Does anybody else suffer from this syndrome? It is very annoying specially if you go to bed around 12 AM and you have to wake up around 4:10 AM!
For those who do not know what is Weekend Syndrome here is some information about it: You are supposedly a good employee like myself or a good student just like how I was years ago. You work pr study so hard during the week and you look forward for the weekend to have fun and sleep as much as you can because you didn't sleep enough during the week. And if you are a night owl just like myself you stay up all night to make sure that the world is fine and the sun will shine then you go to bed with peace filling your heart. You wake up around 1 PM and you take a shower then the rest of the day is all routine so we will skip that part. Then your weekend sadly comes to an end and it is 11:59 PM Friday night or Sunday night depending on where you live or the weekend schedule you have. You go to your bed after brushing your teeth and fixing up your bag (if your work is in another city like myself). The room is chilling and you cover yourself well and you close your eyes hoping to see sweet dreams but no! You close your eyes and you toss and turn and get these weird dreams that make you long for nightmares! You dream about strange blogs, a song stuck in your head, some football match you watched the night before and many silly things! The problem is that you get these dreams while you are half asleep! Some weird state where you say please god don't make it 4:10 AM yet! I didn't sleep at all. Just 5 more minutes please. And just as you turn your body to the other side you know this is gonna be your last turn as the alarm cries bringing you the bad news. So you sit in the bed thinking for a moment to skip work today and call and tell them you are sick but since you are an honest person you decide to go to the toilet and get ready to go to work and try to enjoy this long day as much as you can.
In summary the Weekend Syndrome (according to me) is the inability to sleep well or even not to sleep at all the night the weekend ends due to some problems in the biological clock.

Bored at The Office
Hello my dear readers,
We all gathered here (I always wanted to say that in a public speech which may never happen) to witness how bored is Hopeless Poet (I think Bored Poet fits me more these days). My current job now is like a unit supervisor and I have like 4 or 5 people reporting to me. All of them are older than me. So you can imagine how hard it is for such a nice gut like me to give older men some orders and do this and don't do that. The biggest problem is that they can't stand each other! They envy each other and they come to me and talk about how bad is the others and how honest they are while the others are liars. Of course I hear it from one side and store it in my mind for later use :P
When I first arrived there was this guy who used to come to my office (by the way, I have my own office now ;) ) and talks to me like for 5 minutes about how professional he is and about honesty and integrity. Later I was told from credible sources that he is not liked by many and most say he is a big liar and not so honest at all. Also he said he is gonna take the unit car (which is under my name) to go somewhere and he will returned it later. 30 minutes passed and he is still didn't go, 1 hour passed and he is still on his desk, later I asked him why are you still here? He told me some BS so I told him give me the key and I took it and put it in my drawer and locked it and I went home because it was the weekend :D. His plan was to keep the car with him in the weekend and use it for his personal stuff but he was caught ;). Now he rarely comes to my office or even talks to me. :D
Now let me tell you why I am bored: I am sitting in the office and since it is not a busy work season for us, so there is not much to do. I log on to the messenger and barely there is anyone online! I don't know what the problem is. Maybe most of them blocked my or something :P
Before in the place I used to work in, I used to go to my friends cubicles and talk to them and so on and pass time and they were close to my age and we were like 4 people so we get together and joke around and share some old memories. Now my new friends work in another floor and I can't leave my office as much as I like because of the many phone calls I receive and the people around me are all older than me I still don't know them that well.
Ok that is enough for today! Till next time when I am so bored just like today ;)

Song Of The Week (12)
The song this week talks about the relationship between us and our fathers and the lack of communication between us and them and how we only realize that after it is too late. The song is called "The Living Years" performed by the band "Mike and Mechanics"
The Living Years
Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Crumpled bits of paper
Filled with imperfect thought
Stilted conversations
I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it
He says it's perfect sense
You just can't get agreement
In this present tense
We all talk a different language
Talking in defence
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
It's the bitterness that lasts
So Don't yield to the fortunes
You sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective
On a different day
And if you don't give up, and don't give in
You may just be O.K.
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye
I wasn't there that morning
When my father passed away
I didn't get to tell him
All the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit
Later that same year
I'm sure I heard his echo
In my baby's new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It's too late when we die
To admit we don't see eye to eye

Love In Mourning
Here is my latest poem which I called it "Love In Mourning". I started writing it long ago to get into a contest but then I stopped and I was back to it during the weekend and I was able to finish it yesterday. So enjoy :D
It was too soon for you to go
And to leave me here on my own
The home is empty, my whole life too
How am I supposed to face this alone?
The memories of us keep on haunting me
Pictures of us still hanged on the wall
Our names still carved on that pine tree
Every time I pass it by, my tears start to fall
I still remember the promises we have made
You said nothing would tear us apart
But, now you are gone and I am afraid
And nothing can heal my aching heart
It feels like yesterday since we have laid you in the ground
It was the hardest thing for me to face
I swear I thought that I sensed your scent all around
Alive I felt you were there, I looked around and all was an empty space
It has been a while since I passed by your grave
I wonder if the flowers I planted have grown
And if you ask why? Well I am no longer brave
I cannot cry anymore while kissing your name on the tombstone
So rest in peace oh young and my loved one
Angels in heaven will take care of you
Your eternal life has only just begun
And wait for me when my time is due
It was too soon for you to go
And to leave me here on my own
The home is empty, my whole life too
How am I supposed to face this alone?
The memories of us keep on haunting me
Pictures of us still hanged on the wall
Our names still carved on that pine tree
Every time I pass it by, my tears start to fall
I still remember the promises we have made
You said nothing would tear us apart
But, now you are gone and I am afraid
And nothing can heal my aching heart
It feels like yesterday since we have laid you in the ground
It was the hardest thing for me to face
I swear I thought that I sensed your scent all around
Alive I felt you were there, I looked around and all was an empty space
It has been a while since I passed by your grave
I wonder if the flowers I planted have grown
And if you ask why? Well I am no longer brave
I cannot cry anymore while kissing your name on the tombstone
So rest in peace oh young and my loved one
Angels in heaven will take care of you
Your eternal life has only just begun
And wait for me when my time is due

Song Of The Week (11)
It is the 11th song I posted here and it feels like I just posted the 1st song yesterday! Time goes by so quickly I guess!
The song is called "Looking Through Your Eyes" by "Leanne Rimes"
Look at the sky
Tell me, what do you see?
Just close your eyes
And describe it to me
The Heavens are sparkling with starlight tonight
That's what I see through your eyes
I see the Heavens
Each time that you smile
I hear your heartbeart
Just go on for miles
And suddenly I know my life is worthwhile
That's what I see through your eyes
Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by suprise...
Looking through your eyes
Look at myself
And instead I see us
Whoever I am
Now it feels like enough
And I see it a girl who is learning to trust
That's who I see through your eyes
Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes
And there are some things we don't know
Sometimes our hearts just needs to call
And there is so much that I remember
Underneath the open sky
With you forever
Here in the night
I see the sun
Here in the dark
Our two hearts are one
It's out of our hands
We can't stop what we have begun
And love just took me by surprise
Looking through your eyes
Looking through your eyes

In The Garden
Here is a poem that I wrote a while ago but I didn't post it directly because I was not that much comfortable with it and I am still not so comfortable so I will leave the judgement for you!
In the Garden
At noon, sitting in the garden
Talking and reminiscing
And the passing time eases the burden
Without us even noticing
Two young hearts and souls
Destiny brought them together
Sharing common hopes and goals
And enjoying the nice weather
Flowers are all around
Of different types and colors
Perfectly laid on the ground
Joyful view for the dwellers
So we lay on the green grass
And gaze at the clear blue sky
While cool winds gently pass
And birds slowly fly
We enjoy playing hide and seek
Behind that big willow tree
And the chase beside that creek
It is the feeling of being free
We run around until the nighttime
And we stay awhile to watch the stars
Their beauty is sublime
And we feel that the sky is all ours
Now it is time for us to go
And leave this garden alone
But inside our hearts we know
That this garden is our own
And there will be a time again
When we visit this garden of bliss
To forget about the pain
And enjoy where the real love exists
In the Garden
At noon, sitting in the garden
Talking and reminiscing
And the passing time eases the burden
Without us even noticing
Two young hearts and souls
Destiny brought them together
Sharing common hopes and goals
And enjoying the nice weather
Flowers are all around
Of different types and colors
Perfectly laid on the ground
Joyful view for the dwellers
So we lay on the green grass
And gaze at the clear blue sky
While cool winds gently pass
And birds slowly fly
We enjoy playing hide and seek
Behind that big willow tree
And the chase beside that creek
It is the feeling of being free
We run around until the nighttime
And we stay awhile to watch the stars
Their beauty is sublime
And we feel that the sky is all ours
Now it is time for us to go
And leave this garden alone
But inside our hearts we know
That this garden is our own
And there will be a time again
When we visit this garden of bliss
To forget about the pain
And enjoy where the real love exists

Song Of The Week (10)
Well Monday passed by and I forgot to post the song of the week! So I apologize for that. The song this week is from an artist called "Joshua Kadison". He is very talented but commercially not that well known. I have 3 albumes for him and they all are good and I am sure I will buy his fourth when he is done with it.
This song is so great! I think I will sing it to my wife in her birthdays if she does not mind me singing that is :P
Beautiful In My Eyes (Click save target as to download the song)
You're my piece of mind
In this crazy world
You're everything I've tried to find
Your love is a pearl
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies
And my only prayer, is that you realize
You'll always be Beautiful, In My Eyes
The world will turn
And the seasons will change
And all the lessons we will learn
Will be beautiful and strange
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs
My only prayer, is that you realize
You'll always be Beautiful, In My Eyes
You will always be, Beautiful In My Eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Evermore Beautiful, In My Eyes
And there are lines upon my face
From a lifetime of smiles
But when the time comes to embrace
For one long last while
We can laugh about it, how time really flies
We won't say goodbye, 'cause true-love never dies
You'll always be Beautiful, In My Eyes
You will always be, Beautiful In My Eyes
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow
Evermore Beautiful, In My Eyes
The passing years will show
That you will always grow
Evermore Beautiful, In My Eyes

Illusions
Here is my latest poem "Illusions"
I see shadows on the wall
As soon as I turn on the light
And strange voices loudly call
Breaking the silence of the night
Illusions of things big and small
Mixing the wrong with the right
And deadly letters starts to crawl
On the pages when I write
Ghosts with weapons and all
In my head battle and fight
Human bodies like rain they fall
Filling up the heart with fright
And no matter how hard you bawl
You are sure things will never be alright

Song Of The Week (9)
This week song is "Bless the Broken Road" by a band called "Rascal Flatts". You can listen to it by clicking on the title. It is low quality though and if you get the message that the page has exceeded the bandwidth or something, try tomorrow and it should work!
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Whispering Flowers
Finally I managed to write a complete poem! I passed through a period of no inspiration what so ever! But now I am back! I don't know how good is this poems but I hope you like it! And again critical comments are welcomed :D
Whispering Flowers
There in the garden they lay
Blossoming in early may
Dancing happily with the breeze
Singing lovely tunes with the trees
Whispering the sweetest words
Talking to the wandering birds
Their scent fills the place
And their beauty is full of grace
It is just how we dreamed it will be
A Garden of Eden just for you and me
And as we lay on the grass
We watch the clouds slowly pass
I gently hold your hand
And I know you understand
And as I turn toward you
I know just what to do
I will softly touch your face
And drown in your sweet embrace
I will run my fingers through your hair
And show you how much I care
Then I will pick one flower
Full of charm and power
I let it whisper in your ear
And it will tell you all what you want to hear
And when the garden welcomes the night
Again I will hold your hand tight
And pull you close and whisper in your ear
And tell you, you have nothing to fear
And I wish I can catch the moonlight beams
And shape them into your hopes and dreams
Whispering Flowers
There in the garden they lay
Blossoming in early may

A Garden of Eden just for you and me

Song Of The Week (8)
Today I bring to you a country song that topped the country chart in 1985. The song is "Some Fools Never Learn" By "Steve Wariner". It has nice lyrics and it is a great song indeed and I am sure some will feel the lyrics related to them.
All my friends
Say I should leave you alone
You got a heart like a stone
And a wanderin' eye
And I know that they're right
I can make up my mind
Not to see you again
But you move through my dreams like the wind
It's no good to pretend
It won't happen again
Cause it'll happen again
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
And Baby I tried
But I'm just not that strong
Guess I knew all along
But that's not enough
I was falling in love
And you don't know it
But I came over tonight
There was somebody's car parked outside
Damn my eyes
Damn this heart of mine
I drove off into the night
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Somewhere, in the city tonight
There's a girl and she's lonely like me
She'll be easy to see
And naturally
She'll have that look in her eye
She'll be feeling that way
I see it all plain as day
Oh I'll never be
What she wants me to be
Oh but lucky for me
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
All my friends
Say I should leave you alone
You got a heart like a stone
And a wanderin' eye
And I know that they're right
I can make up my mind
Not to see you again
But you move through my dreams like the wind
It's no good to pretend
It won't happen again
Cause it'll happen again
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
And Baby I tried
But I'm just not that strong
Guess I knew all along
But that's not enough
I was falling in love
And you don't know it
But I came over tonight
There was somebody's car parked outside
Damn my eyes
Damn this heart of mine
I drove off into the night
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Somewhere, in the city tonight
There's a girl and she's lonely like me
She'll be easy to see
And naturally
She'll have that look in her eye
She'll be feeling that way
I see it all plain as day
Oh I'll never be
What she wants me to be
Oh but lucky for me
Some fools never learn
Play with the fire
And you're gonna get burned
It's only love
When you're loved in return
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn
Some fools never learn

Is There Any Good Music These Days?
Do you know that I didn't buy any new album for any of the current artists nowadays? That is not because I can download the songs for free! It is because nothing worth buying! And even nothing worth downloading! The only new music I like currently is country music and since it is not appreciated by fans here in the gulf we don't get most of the new albums. Yet we get all the crappy rap albums and boy bands' jokes of songs!
I watched some clip of a new rap song recently and half of the lyrics were censored. Then I read the lyrics online and I knew why they were censored! I mean the whole song has no meaning at all! I admit there are good rap songs like gangasta's paradise for Coolio but they are very few compared to the rap songs we hear everyday!
Another issue is the way they use women in their videos and in the lyrics too. Why a woman would accept to appear in a video where she is called bitch and whore in same song? I think women rights groups should get involved and protect women from being mistreated like that!! And just before few days I listened to a song by Baby Face and Stevie Wonder called "How come, how long" and talks about a woman who was beaten by her man and how she was mistreated and so on. Well if that man is a fan of rap artists and their songs that refer to their women as bitches, of course he will beat his woman!!
Back in the 1990s, I thought that the 1980s era was the last of the eras of good music, but now I really miss the 1990s! And god knows what kind of music we will have after 2010.

Here I Come!
Today I said goodbye to my colleagues and friends as they wished me good luck in my new assignment in another department. Though I work in planning but since I joined the company in 2002, I don't remember any of what was planned for me to happen! I was supposed to go on this assignment after the first few months but then it was delayed until I finish a year with them and then it was delayed another year and finally I am going to the assignment that was planned for me?? WRONG!! I am going to another department that no one expected me to go to, and as what? The plan for me to be like the supervisor there after few months and I hope this plan succeeds this time :D
So I cleaned my desk and my PC and transferred all the files I will need including my unfinished poems so I can continue working on them in my new work.
The worst things is that I will be home only in weekends and I will need a TV there! I can't miss the football matches and the show 24!!
So my new colleagues, roll out the red carpet! Here I come :D

Quotes About Life
Here are some nice quotes about life that I read today and I liked to share them with you. My favorite is the last one of course ;)
"True, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness" --Friedrich Nietzsche
"You should always learn, with life comes wisdom and with wisdom comes the courage to live your life selflessly. The more you learn about yourself and the experiences surrounding your life the more opportunities you have to make your life better and more fulfilling" --Amy Candy
"Many of life's circumstances are created by three basic choices: the disciplines you choose to keep, the people you choose to be with; and, the laws you choose to obey" --Charles Millhuff
"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time" --Jack London
"To have striven, to have made an effort, to have been true to certain ideals -- this alone is worth the struggle. We are here to add what we can to, not to get what we can from, life" --Sir William Osler
"If you cannot be a poet, be the poem" --David Carradine
"True, we love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving. There is always some madness in love, but there is also always some reason in madness" --Friedrich Nietzsche

Song Of The Week (7)
Here is one of my all time favorite songs from one of my all time favorite artists. I heard this song first time in early 90s long before I know the satellite dish and long before the Internet. The song is "Hazard" for "Richard Marx". He is one of the most talented musicians around but he chose not to be a commercial artist.
Hazard
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I came to know Mary
First time that someone looked beyond the rumors and the lies
And saw the man inside
We used to walk down by the river
She loved to watch the sun go down
We used to walk along the river
And dream our way out of this town
No one understood what I felt for Mary
No one cared until the night she went out walking alone
And never came home
Man with a badge came knocking next morning
Here was I surrounded by a thousand fingers suddenly
Pointed right at me
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
I think about my life gone by
How it's done me wrong
There's no escape for me this time
All of my rescues are gone, long gone
I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town
Hazard

And leave this old Nebraska town

I swear I left her by the river
I swear I left her safe and sound
I need to make it to the river
And leave this old Nebraska town

Questions from a Weary Mind
Here is a poem I wrote using a new style for me. I didn't care much about the rhyming process and as you can see some lines rhyme and some don't. The poem talks about me being confused and lost at times.
Questions from a Weary Mind
I am just lost and wandering
And I do not know where to go
Wasted so much time just-
To find where I belong
I have been searching for so long
The drifter that I am
I will be damned
My ghosts and my demons
My unreasonable reasons
That change with seasons
My weary state of mind
My naked soul
There is no sense at all
Where do I stand?
Am I so close to the edge?
Holding my pen and paper
Describing the way I should fall
Or writing about the sky
And the clouds
Or maybe the river and the sea
A dream or a wild fantasy
Lost love and a broken heart
Or a blossoming love yet to start
Too many questions that-
My weary mind cannot answer
Questions from a Weary Mind
I am just lost and wandering
And I do not know where to go
Wasted so much time just-
To find where I belong
I have been searching for so long
The drifter that I am
I will be damned
My ghosts and my demons
My unreasonable reasons
That change with seasons
My weary state of mind
My naked soul
There is no sense at all
Where do I stand?
Am I so close to the edge?
Holding my pen and paper
Describing the way I should fall
Or writing about the sky
And the clouds
Or maybe the river and the sea
A dream or a wild fantasy
Lost love and a broken heart
Or a blossoming love yet to start
Too many questions that-
My weary mind cannot answer

I have listened to this song while I was doing my the training required to graduate from university and I fell in love with it since. The song is called "It Might Be You" performed by "Stephen Bishop". I think he was just a one hit artist. :P
Time
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
Oh, I think we've gonna need some time
Many be all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there're so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life
Time
I've been passing time watching trains go by
All of my life
Lying on the sand, watching seabirds fly
Wishing there would be
Someone waiting home for me
Something's telling me it might be you
It's telling me it might be you
All of my life
Looking back as lovers go walking past
All of my life
Wondering how they met and what makes it last
If I found the place
Would I recognise the face
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah it's telling me it might be you
So many quiet walks to take
So many dreams to wake
And we've so much love to make
Oh, I think we've gonna need some time
Many be all we need is time
And it's telling me it might be you
All of my life
I've been saving love songs and lullabies
And there're so much more
No one's ever heard before
Something's telling me it might be you
Yeah, it's telling me it must be you
And I'm feeling it'll just be you
All of my life
May be it's you (it's you)
May be it's you (it's you)
I've been waiting for all of my life

Alone With You
Well here is my latest poem. I have written romantic poems before but they were not anything like this.
It is called "Alone With You"
When I am alone with you,
You have to be careful from me
I can make you my hostage
Or I can set you free
So watch out from eyes
Cause they will entice you
And close your ears to my whispers
As you know what they can do
And be aware of my touch
As it will break all the fences
And stay away from my warm breath
It will surely shatter all your defenses
Don't get so close to me
Or you will feel my body's heat
And it will turn on your desire
And quicken every heartbeat
I will make you shiver
When I caress your cheeks with my fiery fingertips
And I will take your breath away
When I lock my lips on your lips
I will taste your sweet sweat
When I kiss you from head to toes
It will be just like the morning dew
That we see on every rose
The room lights are dim
But it is amazing how you shine
And when I hold you in my arms
I thank god that you are mine
It is called "Alone With You"
When I am alone with you,
You have to be careful from me
I can make you my hostage
Or I can set you free
So watch out from eyes
Cause they will entice you
And close your ears to my whispers
As you know what they can do
And be aware of my touch
As it will break all the fences
And stay away from my warm breath
It will surely shatter all your defenses
Don't get so close to me
Or you will feel my body's heat
And it will turn on your desire
And quicken every heartbeat
I will make you shiver
When I caress your cheeks with my fiery fingertips
And I will take your breath away
When I lock my lips on your lips
I will taste your sweet sweat
When I kiss you from head to toes
It will be just like the morning dew
That we see on every rose
The room lights are dim
But it is amazing how you shine
And when I hold you in my arms
I thank god that you are mine

Song Of The Week (5)
Finally it is Monday and it is the time for the easiest post of them all. The hardest thing in regard to this post is actually choosing the song :P
I first heard part of this song on Future TV in a weekly musical program but I was not able to get the band name that time but after a while I bought one of the mp3 cheap CDs and the band Best Songs album was included and they turned out to be good. The song is called "Don't Answer Me" for "Alan Parsons Project"
If you believe in the power of magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?
If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?
Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done

My Grave
This is a poem I wrote sometime ago. I called it "My Grave". Now you all know that I will talk in my grave after I die and write poems too :P
My Grave
Dance, dance upon my grave
Dance like a firefly around a newly lit fire
Dance to satisfy that burning desire
Sing, sing for my grave
Sing that heart-breaking love song
Sing with that voice I wanted to hear for so long
Talk, talk to my grave
Talk about the memories we shared together
Talk about the love that won't be replaced with another
Cry, cry on my grave
Cry and let your tears fall like a shower
Cry and your tears will plant a flower
Stand, stand beside my grave
Stand and for the last time say that you love me
Stand and take a last look at the man who used to be
Walk, walk away from my grave
Walk toward that wide open door to the world
Walk and leave me alone for good
My Grave
Dance, dance upon my grave
Dance like a firefly around a newly lit fire
Dance to satisfy that burning desire
Sing, sing for my grave
Sing that heart-breaking love song
Sing with that voice I wanted to hear for so long
Talk, talk to my grave
Talk about the memories we shared together
Talk about the love that won't be replaced with another
Cry, cry on my grave
Cry and let your tears fall like a shower
Cry and your tears will plant a flower
Stand, stand beside my grave
Stand and for the last time say that you love me
Stand and take a last look at the man who used to be
Walk, walk away from my grave
Walk toward that wide open door to the world
Walk and leave me alone for good

Song Of The Week (4)
I listened to this song last night and I liked it. It is for "Andy Griggs", a country singer and the song is called "If Heaven". If you like it you can download it from kazaa or winmx but if you are lazy to download it, I will be happy to send it to you :)
But be warned this is a country song so if you don't like country then don't bother :P
If Heaven was an hour, it would be twilight
When the fireflies start their dancin' on the lawn
And supper's on the stove, and Mama's laughin'
And everybody's workin' day is done
If Heaven was a town it would be my town
Oh, on a summer day in 1985
And everything I wanted was out there waitin'
And everyone I love was still alive
Don't cry a tear for me now, baby
There comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what Heaven's made of
You know I, I ain't afraid to die
If Heaven was a pie it would be cherry
So cool and sweet and heavy on the tongue
And just one bite would satisfy your hunger
And there'd always be enough for everyone
If Heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one
That could take this weary traveler around the bend
If Heaven was a tear it'd be my last one
And you'd be in my arms again
Dont cry a tear for me now, baby
There comes a time we all must say goodbye
And if that's what Heaven's made of
You know I, I ain't afraid to die
Yeah if that's what Heaven's made of
You know I, I aint afraid to die
But be warned this is a country song so if you don't like country then don't bother :P

Beauty of the Night
This week I have a course in Windows XP Implementation and so on and the PCs there are not connected to the Internet, so most of the time I am fighting sleeping or playing hearts or solitaire and I actually won in solitaire today, maybe for the first time in my life ever :P
So, I thought and I told myself why don't I write a poem instead of just sleeping or playing. I opened the notepad and wrote this romantic piece :P
It is called "Beauty of the Night"
The sublime beauty of the night
With the bright stars up in the sky
The soft beams of the moonlight
They dance for you and I
So we get lost in this silence
And melt ourselves with the night
We forget all our sadness
And start dancing with delight
Slowly we step on the ground
You hold my hand and take control
And you move me round and round
As you dance with my body, heart and soul
And we keep dancing under the starry sky
To the music that only us can hear
And we share the same sigh
Until the dawn draws near
I softly whisper in your ear
And tell you what you mean to me
Words of love you so long to hear
And how you made me the man I ought to be

Scenes From My Window
Here is a poem that I wrote long time ago and I was hoping that I can add one more scene to it but I ran out of any creative ideas!
I love my window and too bad that I can't see anything interesting when I stand in front of it and look. I am surrounded by walls! I miss those days where I used to be able to view the whole street from the window but then some neighbor moved in and his walls blocked my view!
Anyway, when I have my own home I will make sure that when I stand in front of the window I would see some green or blue and I don't mean the walls paints!
So here is the poem
Scenes From My Window
Scene 1:
All alone, I watch the world from my window
Counting birds that fly over the meadow
Listening to the sound of whistling trees
Telling stories of love carried by the breeze
Tales of so many broken hearts
Shattered into pieces and parts
Scene 2:
Still alone, as the raindrops knock on the window
Black clouds fill the sky above the meadow
The fiery winds were harsh on the naked trees
As they are howling begging for summer breeze
And the misery will continue for the aching hearts
As they wonder who will mend their broken parts
Scene 3:
Alone, looking at the world outside the window
The sunshine embracing the meadow
Kids are playing hide and seek behind the trees
The fresh scent of flowers filling the breeze
The pure air cures the wounded hearts
And helps out picking up the shattered parts
