Oh my

This one isn't mine, but i could never write anything as perfect as this even though it is exactly what i mean.

When you find a man
Who transforms
Every part of you
Into poetry,
Who makes each one of your hairs
Into a poem,
When you find a man,
Capable,
As I am
Of bathing and adorning you
With poetry,
I will beg you
To follow him without hesitation,
It is not important
That you belong to me or him
But that you belong to poetry.

Translation by Bassam K. Frangieh
and Clementina R. Brown

What happened?

Dear brother,

What may i ask
Is your daily goal?
All this anonymous sex
Does it quench your soul?
Does it boost your ego?
When you awake with a barbie doll
Do you feel any different?
Notice the new hole?
It's where your conscious
Used to stroll
Now it's gone
Please brother, i can't witness the toll

Do you feel loved
By defiling her so
Why everynight
Is it impossible to say no
Can't you stick with one
You won't sink as low

You used to before
Did she fuck you up that bad
You want to take revenge on them all?
But why blame love
Why declare a sex war?
Why sink so low?
Just mend all she tore
Not all of them are the same
How could you be so sure

I would cry for you if i could
But this is all your fault
We warned you it would never be good
That she hasn't changed
That she never would
A slut is always a slut

You never took our advice
Listened to what we said
People wonder why
There are so many ass hole guys
If anyone asks me again
Il show them this
You used to be nice
But now your a dick

Mitsugi saotome

Not a poem but a qoute i found today which really touched me.

"If you were all alone in the universe with no one to talk to, no one with which to share the beauty of the stars, to laugh with, to touch, what would be your purpose in life? It is other life; it is love, which gives your life meaning. This is harmony. We must discover the joy of each other, the joy of challenge, the joy of growth." Mitsugi Saotome

I wish we could be, i hope one day you understand why.

Square one?

I'm lost
No sense of direction
Where am i supposed to be
I'm stuck
Time isn't flowing
This is unreal

Days are all the same
They blended together
Can't tell them apart
In a world where everything is different
My souls compass is pointing to naught

Through the fog
The faintest light
Shining through the layers
It comes from upfront
White and clear
It has to be a trap

Its just a torch
And now i'm lost
Can't remember which way i ran
So much for false hope
Getting me stuck
And now i can't find square one

Goodbye

I was drunk
Climbed to the roof
Contemplated the fall
I cried
For an hour or too
Then walked back through the door

I sat
Thought about my life
Why do i suffer so
Its not that bad
Greater than most
Why the fuck cant i cope

I'm here
Sitting at the table
I can see the ceiling move
It's been over two weeks since i saw you
Too long for me to hope
So i drown my sorrows in a bottle
Don't care much to survive
Some days i wish i wake up
Some days i wish i die

Only two people really care
Two people will miss me
My dear old mother
And my best friend for the past two years
I can't just go and leave them
Neither my nephew too
So when contemplating the jump
I cry because of them

Leaving some people this way
Should always be a sin
Is it really that selfish
Or am i just scared

I'm holding on till the 1st
February at most
If my life still sucks
Then goodbye cruel world

Haytch, the greatest friend i could ever ask for

Yesterday i sat down to write a poem
With my laptop on legs
Tried to think of something to say
But my mind went blank

My mind wandered all over
Was it worth coming to this place
Why did i ever leave London
Comming here to egypt
Was a shit to the face

Worst desicion i've ever made
Left my best friend behind
I know that he doesnt need me
Truth is i need him right now

The guy who always gave advice
Drove me through London late at night
The guy who was always there
Solving problems by your side

Our paths crossed very briefly
Two years and a bit since we met
I remember the day you told me
We will be the greatest friends ever

I promise i won't forget you
My best man like i said
I'll always be around
Wish you could promise me the same

Haytch your like a brother
But so much more
Thanks for being there with me
In this short life of mine

Seasons

Summer

Eternal light
Convulsive heat
The weather i can not stand
The sunny beaches and warms seas
Almost make up for a dry ramadan
The mangos are plentiful
Providing fruitful fandangos
Oh what a glorious place to be
If only we could share it
As you and me

Autumn

The weather cools to a perfet 20
Oh so much easier for me
The skies are clearer and give excuse
To many a wasted night
All that is missing is a partner
To be part of a perfect night
Someone to lay with and watch the sky

Winter
Sun dies out and is only ever bright
Accompanied by many gusts of wind
Start to feel a freezing chill
The loneliness becomes physicall
I can feel the wind
Where you're supposed to be

Spring

The trees start to bloom
The wild awakes
Everything happens in pairs
It makes me sad
Four seasons have passed
And i still haven't got you
