Corazon Espinado by Arabian Oud {R}





My heart’s empty like a vacant room,
A storm’s just passed by,
I have gone through an era of pangs,
O’ how I wish no one ever suffers my miseries
And no one suffers what a jilted lover does
Each day that came by,
Brought new hopes and dreams,
Each time we met, you gifted me a rose,
I have preserved every rose of yours,
Dried & dusted they lay in my book,
Scented & sprinkled with that magic called ‘love’,
That day when you left me for a voyage,
You made some promises for a lifetime,
Gave me a heart shaped pendant,
So I’d keep your closer in memories,
That day, I recall crying endlessly,
Making myself believe you’d come back one day,
I waited in despair for your letters,
But none ever seemed to come,
Years passed by and I waited by the window,
Watching day covered by night everyday,
Your phone call alarmed me,
When you said you lied about our love,
How could an innocent soul feel?
Cheated & agonised in despair,
Corazon Espinado, my heart is crying,
A thorn stung in my heart, so deep
The candle of hope in my heart has blown away,
I regret trusting you blindly,
Letting you being a part of my life,
The nights have dimmed in sadness,
And my heart’s pricked in poison,
‘Corazon Espinado amante’
O’ beloved my heart’s pricked.

حامل الهوى تعب. أبو نواس. ( The One Burdened With Passion Is Weary. Abu Nuwas [d. 814 AD]) on Arabian Oud {R}

حامل الهوى تعب ـــ يستخفه الطرب If he cries, it is right for him [to do so] - what he has is no game. إن بكى يحق له ـــ ليس ما به لعب Whenever one cause [of pain] comes to an end - from you, [another] cause returns to me. كلما انقضى سبب ـــ منك عاد لي سبب You laugh obliviously - as the lover weeps. تضحكين لاهية ـــ والمحب ينتحب You marvel at my sickness - my health is the marvel. تعجبين من سقمي ـــ صحتي هي العجب

Whenever you are with me... by Arabian Oud {R}

Whenever you are with me, No matter how hard life gets, I always have you to make me feel loved, You whisper in my ears, Words of encouragement, Everytime I fall, Your love holds me back, Look at this home, We built with so much love and hard work, Where did you disappear one day? And leave me all alone in a place we called 'home' You left me in an endless darkness, With no hope, with tears, with regrets, Was our love so weak? That it couldn't stand the storm? That it couldn't stand these hard tests? Was our love so fake? That instead of holding each other, We run away from each other, And act as if we no longer care, And act as if we are deaf to each other's voice, Act as if we can live without each other, Whenever you are with me, In my thoughts, my loneliness disappears, You are my other half, that completes me, Come back and complete our story, Make this house a home again, Fill it with life and happiness, The love our souls dream for, The love we prayed for..

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...
