POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I'm not a real poet, but I'm a poet
I Want No Fame
I do not rhyme I do not roam.
I sing a song without a tone
I read a book without a name.
I see a face within a frame
these words I speak is not a game.
I live in eldos I have no name.
I sing a song without a tone
I read a book without a name.
I see a face within a frame
these words I speak is not a game.
I live in eldos I have no name.

Sustenance in the sky
Like gentle giants floating high.
Colossal white clouds passing over the eldos Sky.
Driven by a gentle breeze, they seem to be waving goodbye.
Then came the dark ones driven by fierce winds and roaring with thunder.
Then there was a flash of lightning, the earth was shaking...
Beautiful streaks of raindrops came pouring down.
Sprinkle, spattere on the lawn.
Patter, patter on the window pyne.
Tiny rivers flowing.
The plants and trees seem to be rejoicing. To me it seems as if they are smiling.
Which of the favours of your Lord do you deny.

Me and I
You are my vehicle, in you I shall ride.
We'll roam the earth together, in the heavens I'll glide.
You are me and I am you, together as one.
Don't spoil us now, don't have too much fun.
I will leave you behind and travel to a day far away
don't soil my image, leed me not astray.
For together we shall abide, in palaces high, U&I.
So let me save us from the roaring one, who's fuel is of stone and kindled with men.
Me and I, in a heaven so high,
far above
The Eldos Sky

Slow Death
I'm an old women today but I use to be a young girl some time ago. They stripped me naked and sucked me dry.
I use to be innocent and carefree.
Now I'm harsh and bold.
When my body aches and pain I shake and shiver,
when this happens I harm my children, I cannot help for this.
They sucked the oil from my vains, and cut away bits of my lungs.
They drilled holes all over me, polluted my suffice and stripped me from my minerals.
Oh, what should I do, what should I do.
I'm mother earth and I care.
Under The Eldos Sky

Blinding Power
When the dove takes flight we will see the light.
When the dust settle after the storm, we will soon see what we are riding on, is it a donkey or a horse.
What do we hold in our hand, is it a snake or a stick.
When the eyes fail to see the truth, see with the inner eye.
When the tongue fail to speak the truth, speak with the heart.
When the ears fail to listen to the truth, listen with the soul.
Deaf, Dumb and Blind
and they will not understand.
Ignorance will make you deaf.
Arrogance will make you dumb.
love for power will make you blind....

The Decision
from diamonds to gold.
from hot to cold.
from innocent to bold.
I came and I went.
from the past to the present.
from youth to aged.
from friends of old
to lovers so bold
together we grew old.
We are rich in offspring
and wealthy in progeny.
I traveled those roads
again and again and non are the same.
Every path has a little pain but the pleasure and joy is worth some pain.
This is where I stay

Rock Bottom
My days were dark and full of sorrow,
my nights filled with grief hopping for tomorrow.
Now I'm happy as a lark,
emerging at the end of the tunnel.
My sole is breathing the air of hope.
My mind's eye is seeing the light of success.
My heart feels the warmth of love.
Now i think of days when I would crawl instead of walk.
Suffocate instead of breathing.
Hating instead of loving.
Blinded by darkness with nothing to see.
Now I'm free.
my nights filled with grief hopping for tomorrow.
Now I'm happy as a lark,
emerging at the end of the tunnel.
My sole is breathing the air of hope.
My mind's eye is seeing the light of success.
My heart feels the warmth of love.
Now i think of days when I would crawl instead of walk.
Suffocate instead of breathing.
Hating instead of loving.
Blinded by darkness with nothing to see.
Now I'm free.

Ugly System
Governments are lying
People are dying
Nations are fighting
Ministers are stealing
Police are abusing
workers are striking
Children are disobeying
parents are neglecting
The whole system is so
Disappointing.
Murderers are walking tall.
Rapers are raping the small
Drug abusers are wanting sympathy.
This is a sick society.

Diamonds On My Back
kimmie, kimberlite, Kim-by-night
like diamonds in the night
I turn away from the light.
I chase my shadow through the night.
To a distant land I follow my passion
do I listen to my heart or my head to make a decision...
My heart say yes, my head says no
do i stay or do i go...
I have gold in my hands
and diamonds on my back
Oh Kimberly we weren't meant to be together,
but I will always treasure our friendship forever.
Oh kimberly your sparkle didn't fade, you glitter like a star in the night.
Our friendship will last for ever...
like diamonds in the night
I turn away from the light.
I chase my shadow through the night.
To a distant land I follow my passion
do I listen to my heart or my head to make a decision...
My heart say yes, my head says no
do i stay or do i go...
I have gold in my hands
and diamonds on my back
Oh Kimberly we weren't meant to be together,
but I will always treasure our friendship forever.
Oh kimberly your sparkle didn't fade, you glitter like a star in the night.

Under The Big Oak Tree
He came from a place far away, he came here to stay
he married a girl who was happy and gay. They found a road and walked thereon.they stumbled on night and day till they found a way.
So now they started to pray and all problems went away. He looked at those who went astray and showed them another way. They build a haven, safe and free, it was a huge tree. Blossoms started blooming, fruits started growing thieves started plotting. Were is the one on the left " oh my tree, you were eradicated with the axe of deceit"
Today he thinks of the times before he was old,

Wounds of a kind
the wounds will heal
the scars will remain
you lay in your bed
you heart filled with pain
your days are dark
your friends are few
what did I do
oh, what did i do
please let me be good
please don't let me be sad
so I say to you
I know your suffering
I know your pain
let me take you to a place far away
let me show you love with passion and respect
let me hold your hand and kiss your lips
for the greatest force after the oneness of Allah is
LOVE
