Fazza's Poems

30. Red Roses

Red roses are the prettiest thing in the garden
Between the singing birds and the green land
Love is a trust inside and appears outside -
without feelings we cannot know how others feel
Now tell me,
How exactly can a person know about how others feel?
When love cannot be shown,
People could be different from the inside and could be two-faced!
And you my person,
Choose one face then understand it then show it to me,
It's been a year,
and you are not sad nor happy with me
Are you trying to challenge me or humiliate me?
You seductive long lashes took me far away
And when I saw you, your love settled deep in my heart
Deep down and my feelings are complaining about your absence
You are hurting me by abandoning me,
And I am left with countless amounts of pain
A pain that is invisible to the eye,
and a pain that is visible to the eye,
A pain that goes through my veins,
A pain that is like a sword stabbing of my enemies,
A pain that kills the one who is in love,
If I tried to explain it, I would fail
A pain that it is stuck in my memories and cannot be forgotten,
I always remember it even if I have already forgotten about it
*Sigh*
...My pain is immeasurable,
You will be wrong if you cannot know whose fault is this
Every person has a person in life,
whom you will still love no matter what they do
And if being in love is not amusing -
Just be in peace and stay alone
Don't try to teach me lessons,
Before you, Mohamed Al Maktoom taught me -
that in bad times -
your true friend should snort loud like a horse for you
And if someone denies what good others did for them,
I would never respect them even if they were one of my brothers.
