Never had the time by Arabian Oud {R}


Ever since this connection began,
My heart pounded in so much pain,
At first it felt so special and deep,
Never felt this way ever before,
Love you play another trick again,
Trying to trap me into this game,
I have had my share of sorrows,
Can you forget me and find another,
Love felt so special and so right,
But I was wrong all over again,
It was all about him and never me,
Trying to make this work so right,
Everyday that passed brought hopes,
And
Every night saw them die in silence,
They call me a carefree spirit all along,
Full of life and never ever giving up,
But I was human enough to weaken,
Then distances fell in between,
And
I found myself alone everyday,
Attention you say I am after,
It wasn’t suppose to be about me or you,
Thought it was something called love,
Then
Why did you take us away from each other,
Why did you portray me as a demon?
Making me wait all those long nights,
You kept cheating me, yet you refuse,
Playing with my heart and those mind games,
Patience running low, time running out,
You never had the time to know me,
Those words churn to repeat as excuse,
Nothing but lame excuses to keep apart,
You never needed me in your life,
Not even fitting in your life at all,
But you make it sound as if I am wrong,
You pour excuses and want me to stay,
But it’s too late now to hold me back,
My feelings have dried out like a dry leaf,
My heart escalating in silent mourning,
I couldn’t stop myself from loving you,
But I had to let myself go in the unknown,
I had hoped you would realise,
What it means to love and to be loved,
Not take and never give back.
If only you stepped out from your world
And made it work as our world.

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...
