Struggle with Words
Posted by Batool on Sun, 14 September, 2008 - 05:00
I wrote the words
Scrawled them across the page
All I wanted to do was keep them
But soon they faded
Fearing they were gone
I retraced them
Making them bolder
But in no time they smeared
Desperately trying to keep them alive
I carved them
Anxiously picking at the wood with fervor
And standing back to look
For one second I feared them
Time passed
And when I looked back
Wiping off the dust
I could not recognize them
For it was in life
That I had lost them

Silence
Posted by Batool on Wed, 6 August, 2008 - 05:00
The silence below the surface
Couldn’t be louder to bear
As every part of you violently struggles for air
As the rage of the water silences the body’s despair
Casting it aside
Another martyrs dared
There is no peace in the silence
But a scream that would forever blare
Waiting for a light
In the darkness
Waiting for a sound
In the silence

Haphazard
Posted by Batool on Mon, 7 March, 2011 - 05:01
Today your are someone different
The essence that glows inside of you, one the world just want to touch
Stop feeling sorry for what you have done
You fool the world is in your hands
And they right no wrong against you
So live and breathe
And let them bask in the glow
In the mystery of who you are
And hear your voice as you speak those words
But you're scared
Because you know what the world doesn't know
That this game is only one of smoke and mirrors
And that here you lie on the edge of a widening gyre
You tie your hands back
From making the one step left to make
That would throw you spinning in the darkness.

This Heart is made of glass
Posted by Batool on Mon, 29 November, 2010 - 05:11
This Heart is made of glass
Or so you wished to say
Standing at the edge of the meadow
This man was wishing to stray
For far in the distance
He saw a door
And how restlessly it swayed
He continued to stand in the distance
In his head—he thought he was betrayed
But the one thing that he could never see was the reality of the game
So this man thought that surly he had been betrayed
He was promised greater things
This heart is made of glass he though
it could not longer take this ache
Through that door- he could bolt
He could not live that way
He imagined his life would be stroked with the very colors of passion
Yet this meadow was gray
In the distance he thought he saw a door
And in his head how restlessly it has swayed.

The Dissapointment of Reality
Posted by Batool on Mon, 10 August, 2009 - 02:52
I am suddenly filled with a terror
The words you said were true
So now in weakness—I feel the anger
Because ..
This moment has left my world somewhat dimmer
Then it had been just seconds away
My existence a little lonelier
Then it had the previous day
and my being more sad
Then I had been just hours away
in so I will remain a keep away some distance
and in silence
not wishing to speak
nor trusting that which I may speak.

Revealed
Posted by Batool on Fri, 14 November, 2008 - 06:00
What they thought would never happen
Happened
and now they don’t know what to say
What they fear to say
Was spoken
And they don’t know how to replay
Believe that she was afraid
And shook with tears
Running back to all that she was walking away from
And in fear
She ran back
Scared of what has been revealed
All I want to do is let you know that I am here

Spoken
Posted by Batool on Sat, 13 September, 2008 - 05:00
Tell me I have not spoken
But how would you know
For my voice you were too far away to hear
Uttered in a language you could never see
Tell me..
Have I spoken?
Tell me
Have you stopped walking around blind?
Are you finally ready to hear?
Turning away
Do I have anything more to say?
My legs are ready to run
But all I could utter was goodbye
And maybe good luck
I watch from above
As the world stumbles to leave
And for one second
I just want to step off the main road
Holding nothing
Belonging to nothing
But the darkness

Letting you escape
Posted by Batool on Wed, 20 August, 2008 - 05:00
I let you escape
watch you fly
You will never return
Let you drift
You never head back
I wanted you to break away
But I now I fear you will never come back
I dont want to keep you
but now I fear
your forever lost
never to find your way back home

A Stranger
Posted by Batool on Mon, 4 August, 2008 - 05:00
A stranger once passed this way
A stranger with a forgotten home
Wishing to remain far away
A stranger who will quietly slip into your life
And quickly away
Leaving you shattered and looking away
A stranger whom you will always seek
A stranger whom you will never find
A stranger
Look me straight in the eye
And tell me what you whish to say
A stranger
I will walk away

Domain
Posted by Batool on Mon, 4 August, 2008 - 05:00
Burning in the dark night
In an uncharted domain
Far below the surface
Struggling for air
death
Continues to live
past ..
Repeating over and over again
Lost..
Never to be found
Anger cooled
Still raged
Love gone
Secretly burn on
Suppressed and Unaware
Bring me light
Because in the darkness lives
The shadows which consume me
The shadows that I fear to face
The shadows that are me
