My failures visited me last night Looking all troubled and inferior In its hands held five cola-nuts, A bottle of wine, and a drum. He looked miserable and fatigued. Throughout the midnight It sang songs, wept… lamented, blubbered, Recited poems, told a lot of stories Until it cried out all of its tears, Emptied his […]
Heart Broken
I’m heart broken They warned me but I wouldn’t listen I only saw in their flickering eyes; Jealousy and selfishness. They said she was all fake. But how could that be? Her contour and curves; Her glittering eyeball; Her flawless soothing skin; What elegancy! I went in for a chase, Spent my last coins on […]

ODE TO A FRIEND; HAJARA
Beauty be time; And you’d be eternity. The sparkle in your eyes Are so bright; I guess The sun must be jealous I don’t know which is prettier; The weather or your eyes? Yesterday night I saw the star And I thought they were pretty Now looking at you, They don’t stand a chance. Roses […]

DISAPPOINTMENT
You keep staring at your phone Just hoping and praying That the light comes on Accompanied with The notification tone And finally, when It does arrive You rush to read it Hoping it’s from That very person You waiting for… But then it’s not And you can only burry Your head in disappointment. ©2022 Voice_of_the_Pen

Heavy Heart
I would rather You silently lend me A small boat So, I can paddle And sail far away Get lost and fade Out of exhaustion Than to look out For a keeper Of this heart For it has become Too heavy to be kept. ©2022 Voice_of_the_Pen
TOUCH ME, FEEL ME, YOU NEVER KNOW
POEM #2 – MY ESSENCE In the midst of great men and women I stand tall. I guess that aids the reason I’m nicknamed; Twin Tower. I typically hang out in pairs Giving comfort to the young, middle aged And even the old. I can appease the gods of hunger My mere sight calms down […]

Entangled in a corner Yet engulfed by a vast space Where loneliness scream Yet silence echoes in the heart. A hundred percent Working gravity Yet feels as though I’m ascending into Heaven Disappearing out of sight Like ghost For the voice thrills not enough And the face charms not enough. Three, two, one; In a […]

A moment Of this feeling is such ecstatic That I want savor every second of it Why yearn for a dream When you in the reality is more appetizing? […]
DRAW ME IN
As instructed by the creator One should look at what Is pure and holy I guess that is why I can’t keep my eyes off you Your dark circles around your eyes Keeps drawing me in And I get drowned in the pools In your eyes I seem not to be able to escape.
doomsday
Just one day, The day frowns at you And the nights scold you Too many thoughts Sprint within your head So many flashes on your eyes And glitches of voices Perpetuate your ears Your soul crumbles down You try to escape it But you can only end Up in its nest And no matter what […]
Show me your smiles And I’ll show you my scars. Show me your rains And I’ll show you my ashes. The wild flames of life With no mercy; Crawled on me like a serpent. And when the winds came My remains scattered. And then followed the rains. My ashes-remains settled But no one could Remember, […]
