BOB Posted February 15, 2012 Broken Wings: As the morning sun rises and embraces my face, it warms my cheeks and my heart like erasing mistakes. I've had detours in my life yet it soothed my soul guided me forward when I would lose my self control it has dried my tears when I wept at the demise of my dream awakened me gently when I slept for days with sorrow it made dreary days beautiful with glistening rainbows it disappears every night I’m alone an the pain grows I’m not guaranteed a tomorrow so when the sun sets I talk to the stars with words that were left unsaid. as the sun rises again new hope fills my twisted veins because I fought through the night and still I remain I reach out to the sky unafraid of all the unspoken things only for me to slowly realize I’ve been flying with broken wings. Peace, Love & Unity. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOB Posted February 15, 2012 The Nameless. He leans against the concrete white wall wishing he wouldn’t take another fall his eyes filled with sadness and despair he hopes he's seen by which is unknown he lives a game by which he knows is unfair he enters the loud and the full room unnoticed hoping he’d at long last get a call of his name but the deafening silence crushes his hopes as the people around him do the same he struggles to push away from the white wall his bare feet felt heavy on the cold floor finally he hears a call and his heart sinks for everyone knows his name won’t be called now.

OdaySomali Posted February 15, 2012 BOB I must say that your poems had me fixed to the screen. Have you considered publishing your poems ? With some editing, they are certainly publishing material. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BOB Posted February 28, 2012 Fate's Failure: He cries to the heavens hoping to attract fate's attention begging for a break bargaining with his last borrowed breath his spirit broken into million pieces like the country he calls home abandoned by kindness and disowned by his own kind his mind is polluting his thoughts with delusional reasons seasons come and go except for his misery and sorrow tomorrow is a far away hope for this defeated commoner he wails with pain hidden from the prowling eyes of sin he's alone again and his best companion is loneliness he converses with his shadows and confesses his guilt verses lose their meanings through the lies of the masses he's made of homeless and walks bare feet on the broken glasses imprisoned by life and punished for being born into this world his body is weary for age hasn't forgotten about him wisdom he possesses not as he professes his own demise sick of selling his soul to his wishful yet misleading fantasies he yearns for death for life's irony is long lost to him bless the man who never asked to be pardoned partnered with failure he's forced to live by loss forsaken by all beings for he's a cursed human being they's would rejoice his destruction with wild celebration for he's to be fate's secret failure.

BOB Posted March 1, 2012 No Friend Of Mine: Spoken to silence and emptiness again the words echo off my wall into loneliness and shame. the stillness of my being awoken from my sleep finding darkness in my soul lonely tears I weep my home became my imaginary paradise within hell pardon my broken tone for somalia is my long lost home empty words of innocence of cruelty and of shame crying out loud into the night sky with agony again painful memories so deep and emptiness I've known I reach for understanding just to find that I'm alone desperate cries of hope in silence never letting go gory pictures of home country so vivid they blind me scared to dream for the fear of seeing nightmares wounds so deep inside me the pain I only know sadness has engulfed me bitter to the end of my being pieces of my innocence shattered by my cruel own kind deep inside my innocence is lost it took that from me in this world of broken hearts there's nothing left in me for I finally found out that fortune is no friend of mine.

BOB Posted March 9, 2012 My Dream: You are so pretty and breathtaking in your black abaya the image of you left me with thoughts of chocolate covered honey so intrigued by your essence that I had to write this when you don't need to show off your natural elegance flawless when you walk and every time you talk through Islam you show the world your intelligent elements I've learned to love the mind and the body will follow distinct Somali beauty like you just inspires my tomorrow sheds new light onto my yesterday and elates my today I’ll just pray and thank God that you looked my way I’ll confess, that abaya was the best thing you could wear to protect your baby-soft skin and everything therein from the lustful stares of men with no modesty and shame I want to thank you for being a fine example of muslim woman physically, you are radiant and stunning without the “mask” your choice of words remind me of how creative you can be every sentence you speak enlightens my imaginative mind spiritually, you respect yourself and demand respect from others carrying yourself with such confidence and grace straightforwardness and politeness at the same time a gift given to you by your beloved mother speechless, because I’m hit with all this at one time not to mention the uniqueness of your taste in style, thinking this type of woman will be the mother of my children I just close my eyes and smile for that's what dreams are made of so pretty in black that I’d give my life to protect you from harm but before you go, would I see you in my dream again tomorrow?

BOB Posted March 22, 2012 Sorry I didn't write about you lately and Sorry that I don't think about you as much as I used to, Sorry your voice doesn't soothe my soul anymore, Sorry your sight doesn't please my eyes as much as it did yesterday when I was yours only, Sorry if your name doesn't roll off my tongue any longer and No I don't hate you, God...No, you know my heart is incapable of such evil especially when it comes to you as I still love you and always will as faithfully as any human can love anybody dead or alive but we both need to accept for the sake of our sanity that we are not meant for one another and please forgive me, my memories of you are fast fading and I pray to god that yours of me are too. ^^^Through simple wishes we manage the days hopeful dreams created by only you and me two hearts separated by the distance but joined by souls through our fate tangled up in deep and happy thoughts of things our lives will no longer be without the love from me and you to keep us smiling as the day goes through our hearts ache each day with the same pain singing the same sorrowful songs of loneliness knowing this distance between us cannot be erased. ^^^Good Bye.

BOB Posted March 22, 2012 My Lonely Widow: She lies in her bed and stares into the moonlit sky where all the mystical stars shine with the utmost glory wondering how would it feel to reach out and touch a cloud would it be possible to take a piece of heaven home with her? in realization, she lies beside her cold single bed at night...crying dry tears tears that cut through her soft pillow and flood it with sorrow is she really feeling this low and lonely or am I just writing it? ideas spring into her head but she don't hold the key to her heart it was stolen by the 40 thieves and sold to the black market feelings obsorb her fragile soul with the upmost serenity as she lay asking what is her purpose on this planet..this universe this third rock from the far away galaxies hits her now the sun shines and she cries...cries with all her heart.
