RAGE UGAAS

......................................

 

Once i wore a fine cloat

And carried a shield of rhynoceros hide

I was looked upon with admiration

As one of the best of human kid

Is this not so?

 

Then my spine grew older short

And my back grew bent

And did it not came to pass

That i had to stop and rest a night

On a journey so short that shouting voices

Could have spanned the distance

On the roads that are trodden

with families on the move

I am passed my everyone along the way

My weapons are all surrendered now

And my hand grasps nothing but a stick

 

The men beggoten by men whom i myself begot

With-held the support that is my due

The women whom i married now wish me dead

 

"Give me food" i shout do i not?

weeping like a child

The shameful things against which i use to guard myself

Have now descended on me as clear as the light of day

 

Is this not so??

My princess

 

Such a Sweet morning sleep but I'm dreaming deep,

The cold morning dew is like the mattress' soft,

suddenly I hear a sweet wisper, a shallow breath

Pretty face's eyes half closed cutely angled

 

Sensual she, so calm her ways so tender her touch.

Her beauty naturally glows like a bright tavern,

I kissed a cheek, soft and smelling of a perfume.

 

Oh it is like an angel with a golden heart,

She does What lovers do, or content in dreams

She Rests on my chest to be secure and satisfied,

With her fine looking figure curved to my desire.

Round thighs, flowing hair and maturely loving eye

 

Such baby skinned girl, is comfort to a kind soul

Like the air we breath, she naurishes the soul

Elegance is her look and boneless when she dances

 

I love her easy ways and her perfume spray

She Wears ud the midnights and Attar afterwards

her Silk hair scented with rehan, dancing sideways

Hibo   

The girl is ninteen and tender

Fresh faced, veiled and uncut

clean, smart with diamond smiles

pretty eyes that steal hearts

Bangles of gold, compounds of love

Beauty for body and shyness

And dignity for her parents

Hibo   

My country men! My poets

 

Those words you have cried

Had made my mind sway near break!

But those dreams i have had

Show me a better place of

Peace and fresh milk

 

So keep your pen wet

And your hopes ever high

We shall pull through this

 

For kings seek the force of swords

Poets shall seek the force of words

And standwith the might and strength

 

Our homes may be burnt

Our people may be destitute

Our future may be unclear

Our land may be up for sale

Who we're shall never change

 

Shame waits to take its shape

Hell has already broken lose, and

I am tired of cries of grieve

Tired of fleeing and driftings,

Though I see better things coming

Salaams

 

lol unix I guess some people don't like poetry huh? Oh well...

 

Jamaal, as usual aboowe, great poems biggrin.gif lol as I told you last time, I'm still obessed with the concept of beauty, so here is one of my latest poems on beauty

 

 

BEAUTY

You may think beauty can be seen.

It can be seen, and it can make you feel like

it is taking you to a wonderful, distant place.

But how wonderful does that place prove to be?

And just how far away is it?

By looks you can only find beauty

that is pleasing to the eyes though.

What good is physical beauty

if there is nothing underneath to back it up?

If this was all that beauty was

then paying the high price for beauty would be vanity.

It is much better to find inner beauty

which pleases the heart, then trying to just please your eyes.

A beautiful appearance is just a shell.

Can it be easily cracked because it is just a frail outer layer?

No, let its roots run deeper than that

and support the beauty I can see.

You can spend your time striving find one that is beautiful.

You can use your effort and find beauty

but if it proves to be only on the surface

then you have used your time and effort all in vain.

But no, there is more to beauty.

It can be found by prying those shells open and peering inside.

That beauty that you find can give you happiness even if happiness you have never known.

It can help you to look at yourself

and find how far your beauty goes.

It can help you to find new leaves to turn over and finally let your true self come bursting forth.

Much, much more can be found than that vain beauty but only in a special one.

Beauty, what a lovly word.

But who is one that can be called beautiful?

A person who can take your mind

and run with it to a distant, blissful place.

One who can take your cloudy days

and turn them into wonderful skies of blue

Hibo   

Welcome sister IDIL, it is an honour welcoming you to this site, a pleasant one. I hope you enjoy your stay as i did.

 

Thank you Idil, that poem was nice. Beauty? so do i, lol but i tend to wander off to another section of life. Experiance over-rules the beautiful words i stitched up to express beauty. I hope it is worth it. Girl, no other person writes more precise about beauty than you, well done. You gave me a hint of what your poems mean the last time we talked and i liked what i heard, so insh-allaah we will pump into eah other. bye bye

Hibo   

My soul has gone slow now

and as calm as still waters

my heart burns no more

as if I’m sprinkled wet

with a heavenly love

 

Never would I forget

To feel and to know

How loving a heart can be

and how sweet it is to love

 

Your words are like songs

so sacred like the psalms

You touched my heart softly

Like no other human did

 

You are a beautiful dream

that never becomes true

Though I want to be near you

than the skin that you wear

and your sensitive nerves

 

I wish I could touch you

with love so deep and real

embrace your figure with joy

and bursting sweet emotions

kiss your lips so intimate

between your chin and chest

 

Can I meet you just I feel?

Or would I see you just to touch?

I'm anxious with imagination

Passionate with expectations

 

Coz this screen and the net

Connected firmly our souls

But keeps lovers far away

away from each other's embrace

 

With all I’ve got inside

Can I say I love you dear?

Would you read all my poems?

Read them with your pretty eyes?

 

Can I trust you?

With this fragile heart of mine?

Asalaamu Alaikum

 

lol Jamaal...a couple of months ago a couple of my friends and I were discussing "beauty" and what true beauty is...until now we still haven't come to the same conclusions lol...a lot of people are taken in my first appearances...and they do make impressions...last year this guy tried to ask me out...lol it was the funniest thing ever...he actually said to me.."it isn't that I find u attractive, actually i don't, u just have an amazing personallity" lol that made me laugh wallahi...

 

personally I don't believe that anything is ugly...after all nothing Allah (swt) created can be described as ugly can it? Physically, everyone is beautiful...but when we look at the inner person is where the term ugly can be used...you can find the most beautiful person in the world (your dream guy/girl physically) but then...that is as far as it goes...I've even asked my friends if they would prefer a beautiful girl who was cold, calculating and selfish...or would they prefer an average girl who wasn't what they would define as "beautiful" but was the most amazing person ever inside...lol most of them said they'd take the girl that was pleasing to the eye...it would be pointless to date a girl whose face u couldn't stand...

 

Anywayz...here is reply to ur poem Jamaal...or u aboowe...enjoy

 

I'm logging on

I hold my breath

to see if you are there...

to see if you have left for me

a treasure anywhere...

An e-mail, or a poem or

a paragraph of love

my lover on the Internet

sent to me from above.

My monitor, a window to

the world in which you live

my heart an open vessel that

is full & wants to give...

To you, my love, true happiness,

a feeling so complete

I've needed you, you've needed me

however did we meet ???

I place my hand upon the screen

and wish that I could feel

your lips, your breath, your soft caress

I know that you are real.

I try to fight this feeling that

you are just fantasy

I've never had someone like you

please give your "words" to me.

Romantic verse with meter, rhyme,

make love to me with prose...

lull me into lover's sleep

Will I awake ? Who knows....

Please feel me reaching out to you

my hand upon the screen

I long to touch you

hold you close

and "feel" you in my dream.

I think of you as someone who

completes me through & through...

from this day forth, with Cyber-love

I give not only words to you,

I give you my heart...

 

Ma'Salaama

Idil, I think my version of what beauty is, is similar to yours. Beauty from the inside is the best one someone can ever have, believe me i have seen many people being called beautiful but they are a draught foiled with a golden sheet. Beauty is nothing when it is not skin deep. Like a car with no wheels it wouldn't be apropriate to describe someone "beautiful" unless they're not beautifull from the inside.

 

PS: Idil, thank you for the moving poem sister.

 

Stay safe

Hibo   

IDIL = COMPLETE

 

The night that has gone past

with all dreams that were born

Turned my stones into sponge

Awakened mine heart with agog

at the dawn that was newly born

 

I feel born again and loved

a love that defies description

Am I a guest in your heart?

Singing you happy smooth songs

and sweet quiet lullabies

tricking you to a lover's sleep

 

Can i whisper at your ear

With what a heart needs to hear

show you my good sense of humour

Touch you with words more deeper

 

I wish i could meet your mother lol

to tell how i feel for her daughter

how much i respect her and love her

 

LOL about meeting you mother..i believe a good women is like her mother, if the mother is a queen then she will be a princess.
