How many times?- poem by Arabian Oud {R}





How many times..

How many times will I be deceived by people I trust
How many times will my hopes be dashed like a broken glass
How many times will I have to wait by the door to see you come,
And then waiting endlessly, I never find you come
Coz you were some where else,
And me here waiting like a fool,
Abandoning all my dreams and life for you,
This is what I received instead, nothing but wait
How many times, will my eyes cry in darkness
And silently drink my own blooded tears,
Without letting a single soul know how I feel.
How many times will I fall in love
and get crushed before finding the "one"
Is it always going to be a game of destiny and fate?
Am I puppet who's strings are pulled by others?
Allowing others to treat me in the worst way they could
How many times will people dominate
and hurt me emotionally, physically?
And play their mind games before finally defeating me?
How many times will people keep lying whilst I stand firm with my truth?
Is it the good versus the evil?
How many times will I run desperately away from everyone
And run towards the open meadow field, crying out for help
Oh! how helpless am I O' God,
This world full of miseries, cruelties and deceit,
They say not all fingers are the same,
But I seest not any different kind,
All seem the same,
How many times will I be tested for my sincerity?
Will it be till I am burnt to death or sold to someone else?
How many times will I paint a dream house
and crush down the sand castle,
Is it going to be when I realise dreams are only good while asleep?
How many times will I whirl like the Whirling Dervishes of Konya?
Is it when I totally despise the human love?
And I seek complete shelter from my Lord
How many times will an innocent be prosecuted?
Is it when the devils rejoice and blame the innocent for a crime?
How many times will love be defamed and replaced by lust?
Is it when human feeelings become meaningless?
Is all this going to lead to an emotional death?
Leaving behind a person who leads a day
only in the hope of finding someone honest?
or simply walk on a different path in life.

MISUNDERSTOOD- by Arabian Oud {R}

MISUND ERSTOOD At first they you pretend you care, But in reality you were ignorant, You offered help by lipservice, Nothing practical at all, Everytime I was depressed, You thought it was plain drama, Kept saying 'grow up girl', Changes were noticed slowly, The one day you went away, Here I was seeking love and support, Even my friends abandoned me, Everytime they met,it was about them, I pondered on what I had achieved, But there was no answer at all, They don't understand my problems, They never asked, expecting my life go-lucky, Here I am, Sitting on the bed, surrounded by dark walls, Tears keep flowing down nonstop, Wished there was someone by my side, Wiping them away, hearing my pain out, They call me names and think I am bad, They simply don't know my story, Love they say, is a medicine, But I seest that not, it only gives pain, They all called me immature and left, My heart was broken, the music stopped playing, Violins of my heart cried out so bad, Wished, the...

Unbeliever in love - June 2006 poem

I was once a believer in love, but now I am an unbeliever in love, I was so deeply smitten by his smile, but now I wonder what drove me to him? I thought love meant eternal BLISS, but then I realised it was plain HELL, Prancing around the trees like a child, I seemed to lose my innocence in love, Love, you followed my shadow everywhere, And then you entered my blood and then my soul, You crept into my alley in the dark night, Then stole my sleep and hypnotised me, I thought it was so special, 'true love' But it was nothing but a gud 'Time pass' for you, Driving me to insanity and sleepless nights, Then stealing away my dreams and peace, You vanish in the midst of the night, I thought you understood me, you was special, But it was all a charade you put up, You behave all sweet and innocent infront of me, But inside thee are full of betrayal and evil, Now I am an unbeliever in love, Thankyou for waking me up, Coz I can see I was lucky to walk away lonely, I am deaf to the...

Finally by Arabian Oud {R}

Finally It’s finally time to leave this cage, I once called my home, A place full of peace and security, But now everything reminds me of you, Haunts me day and night, I thought you would always be there, But that was a big lie, Hoping to hear from you everyday, I spent time thinking about you, Hoping you were next to me, That look in your face, drove me crazy, But all that is plain history now, I am so lonely now again, I tried to unleash the pain, And run away so many times, But every attempt was a failure, Coz deep down, I had hope, Wishing you would come back, And hug me so tight, Kiss my worries away so bright, Everyone told me I was dreaming, I locked myself into deafness, And slowly drifted into darkness, But now I hear my voice echo, My heart questions you, Where are you my beloved? Did you ever think of me, Miss me and love me? It’s finally time to leave, I was living in a cage, You once called ‘ our home’, You kept telling me, I couldn’t leave, But today, As I walk away into ...
