Love Lost

[Salahh]

Love Lost (A lonely man’s blues)

 

I want a lover like you

The one I word pick-up lines for

I practice the approach like……

(Sup?)

And your response

(Hello)

And the killer blow

(You looking good girl)

And your response

(You ain’t too shabby yourself handsome)

All this

Just for you

See I have these visions of you

Images of lustful faces made

In the nude

Sensual loving and true passion

I, want you

She who exists in my dreams

She who understands my every need

I, need you

You are the bar set for every female met

My judgments are sourced by you

Where, are you?

 

I walk this lonely road

Still fantasizing of the particular place we will meet

How we will meet

What I will say

And as I pray to be eventually consumed by your love

I realize that, you don’t love me

No one lover would forsake true love like you do

I have given my loving vibes to the earth

In the hopes of finding you

And yet

You are nowhere to be found

I have sat on balconies eying the world

And yet

You escape my loving eyes

 

Is this punishment for past crimes?

Was I a crude lover in my past life?

And as I yelp hopeless questions into the infinite vastness of the universe

Your response is always the same

Non-existent

As loneliness engulfs me

I cower in my state of shame

Hoping not to get too complacent

I pray you find me soon

For unlike you

I don’t want love to pass me by

[Salahh]

My Rock

 

Break me a melody

And soothe me to dreams

Harmonize my fantasies

In angles and degrees

Visualize my weaknesses

And acknowledge my strengths

Kiss away my tears

And romance my joy

Solve my loneliness

And show me its simplicity

For when I blink for eternity

I want my rest to be in peace

[Salahh]

Afflicted (Hell-Bound)

 

Express yourself

They said to me

Be your religion

To set yourself free

Delve into it

With no conscience of peace

And always

Justify your worldly deeds

 

Yeah right…

You see, for this troubled fellow

That path doesn’t seem to glisten

And in all accordance

Martyrdom is madness

Borders are just over-hyped prisons

And I love my freedom

 

Whispers fill my ears

From friends and foe alike

Of how prayers will help me fear

And make my days bright

Fear is good they say

We all need some form of fear

We all need to feel assured

That our path to heaven is secure

 

(Rolling eyes) Heaven? Seriously?

Sounds a lot like propaganda talk to me

Means to keep the masses in check

Means to insure moral values are upheld

For a society without morals

Is a society doomed….

(Rolling eyes) They say

 

To doubt is human

And if choice was supposedly innocuous

Why bother asking for worship

For I wish to extol just like the next man

And sing yours only praises

But as I cry for a glimpse or even a whiff of proof

I am left stranded without results

 

So, lost in my state of ‘supposed’ living

Loving everything ‘morally’ wrong

I’ve lost track of my correctional abilities

See, the difference between right and wrong is

Wrong is always a lot more fun

And in all honesty, I will be he who claims that

Change will come when I am 70 yrs young

Brother Saalah...I wish your tempting poems wouldn't get me started on lost love not because they bring back bad memories but they take me back into a certain past that was very hard to deal with...

 

I promise I will post a follow up to one of your poems some day soon Insha Allah.

 

Thanks for the memory...and keep on setting our hearts on fire...lol

 

 

Salam Aleikum W.W

 

 

Peace, Love & Unity.

Heaven

 

I fantasize of a place so serene

Where love is loving

And peace accepting

Where hate is jailed

And discrimination forsaken

Where the eye is blind

And the heart open

Where species interact

In the name of harmony

I dream of my heaven

 

In my heaven

There are no rivers of honey

I don’t possess seventy two virgins

For I have my one and only lover

In my heaven

I have the freedom to be me

Than to adapt to the next status quo

And as I look around

With all the colors merging

I will truly be able to see love’s divine torch

Welcome

 

Welcome to the truth that needs to be

Welcome to the freedom to laugh freely

You can laugh at death without judgment

You can laugh at life without judgment

The true definition of freedom is to be free

And I dream of a place so serene

Forever In A Pink Moon

 

Can you feel me

My raging river of blood

My drumming pulse

My clenching jaw

My will

Not to let you in

 

I've laid next to you

My flesh exposed

For you to love

Like my soul

But it wasn't enough

And I've been left

As a mere indiscretion

 

And

 

Although there is no forever

In being with you I felt forever

Wrapped in a split second

And time was never time

 

I can't be your verb

As you can't be mine

And we don't need

To be told twice

 

In all your fragility

You have reduced me

In the name of rationality

Making you a killer

Twice

 

And now you write lines

To encapsulate your understanding

But you have no idea

You can't let yourself love

So where do you draw the sadness

I for loving you or you not letting yourself?

I can't be your green eyes

The rock upon which you stand

Nor the sea upon which you float

 

But you could be happy

With the infinite sadness

With the many reasons

With the sense buried in you

With the spirit in you

 

Finding forever in a pink moon

Never seemed so simple

 

I guess we are all among the many trying to find forever in a pink moon...I digged your work brother, spoke to me in a caressing way and thats why I thought I would share my piece which I thought was a lil befitting...

[Salahh]

Green eyes, you are the one that I wanted to fiiiind. And anyone who tries to deny you, must be outta their miiiind. Coz I came here with a load, and it feels so much liiiighter since I met you. Honey you should know, that I could never gooooo on without you. Green Eyes, Green Eyes, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh,.......

 

Any chance you listen to Cold Play BlueEpocha? Lovely poem by the way.

Back At One

 

Sigh...

When words escape you

Leaving your thoughts bare

Expression of self

Is just...

Sigh

Hopeless

 

Wording the feelings of the heart

Is always a difficult task

For the heart knows not what it wants

It knows not what it needs

And even though I know how fickle it is

It always tempts me astray

Back to where I swore never again to be

Sigh

 

Back at one

I gather myself yet again

Dealing with the same regrets

Experience is a good teacher

But what good is it

If the student isn’t willing

 

When words escape you

Leaving your thoughts bare

Life loses meaning

And one seems not to care

When words escape you

Your demise is due

[Salahh]

The Dreamer

 

I want to dine on pillars

Overlooking the vastness of the universe

Bask in the glory of the sun

As it nourishes every pigment of my being

 

I want to blink myself to places

Only known to the gods

Unite myself with happiness

And consume it as my own

 

I want dreams that make me smile

As I lay deeply slumbered

And dance the night away

To angelic melodies

 

I want to be blessed

With thirst unquenched

And offered a river

That infinitely flows

 

I want the feel

Of a skin so soft

That the mere touch

Brings me ecstasy

 

I want the scent

Of a being so sweet

That the loss of it

Blanks me from history

 

I want

Is all I seem to know

But for a dreamer

What else is there

 

Yearnings unfulfilled

Is the saddest of stories

But if unheard

Who will care?
