Why silence is my best friend by Arabian Oud{R}




Silence can be ones best friend when noone around is you when you need them. Sometimes, a piece of paper and a pen are enough to accompany on a long journey. When you keep looking at the mobile phone for someone to call, or for a friend to sms you back and you get no reply or importance that one does deserve, it isolates you. An inner isolation is worse because it cuts off your power to interact with others. The voices within limit your existence and disconnect you from all those people who you think are your friends but are not. It disconnects you from all those who you think could be your shoulder to hear you cry. But now I wonder which way to go, I feel very lost and it seems that silence can be a painful suffering. Sometimes, when I feel that I need to hear someone's voice at this late hour of the night, and there is no reply, I feel alone.Sometimes when I try to make everything okay and make an attempt to gather all my friends together I fail, only to realise that I am no longer a popular person anyone.

Silence wraps me around like a warm cardigan in the winter that gives one heat during those chilly months. Silence takes over me because I find it hard to express myself and my concerns, my worries. After giving them all a listening ear and being their shoulder, I realise that my world is very much 'empty' and in the end, I sit by the lamp writing a blog to confess how silence has become my best friend.

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...
