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.

A Thousand pieces
Posted by Batool on Mon, 21 July, 2008 - 04:00
Come step into the rain with me
Why are you afraid..
Come and let the wind blow you away
Why are you afraid..
Is all that you know going to be lost
Why are you afraid..
Come and feel the cold..
Why are you afraid..
Is everlasting pain going to keep you awake
Why are you afraid..
Will the raindrops stop for one pure second
Before they crash into a thousand pieces

Free Form

In the darkness I run
In the darkness I am free
Free amongst the shadows
That are reaching out for me
In the cold air
I am warm
From what is defining me
Failing to say
What I had wished to say
And as time passed
The more I needed to say it
Until the writing hand has hurt
And looking down
To find the pages blank
In the darkness I am free
Free from the bars
That I didn’t want to see

How to listen
Posted by Batool on Sun, 6 July, 2008 - 04:00
The wind howled
And the world stopped
And the walls creaked
The tears dropped
As the waves crashed
And the blood shed
And the water rose
And the lives lost
The leaves fell
The love mourned
Miles and miles away
lying at night I am wide awake
I have been gone for far too long
failing to hear your plea before
I will hear it today

as we walked before
Posted by Batool on Thu, 3 July, 2008 - 04:00
We walk this barren path
As we have walked before
Stopped on top of the bridge
As we have stopped before
Pulled the leaves off the branches
Just as we have before
And as we cry
Our tears will dry
Just as they have dried before
But this time I have seen something
And it was beautiful
Something I failed to see befor

Where the raindrops fell
Posted by Batool on Mon, 23 June, 2008 - 04:00
Ask me where the rain drops fell
As the thunder rolls
And the rain comes down
Ask me where the rain drops fell
As they kissed the glass window
where the light has long been extinguished
On the mothers cheeks
As she stands outside the door
Seeing if her kids have found a home
On the wilted flowers
placed on the grave and there they lay
on the cars as they drove away
As the thunder rolls
And the lightening strikes
The rain drops fell.
