Majdoleen (Maggie) Sukayri Poems

Look at me as I crumble inside
Thinking of the unsung heroes of my life
This world is my destiny
Horizon, a line between us and what's beyond.
...

Now that you're gone
I spend long and lonely nights
Thinking of you
Dreaming of what could have been
...

As you laugh, I see the tears at the tips of your eyes.
Grief and sorrow to others are incidents in their lives.
They shape yours.
You've become something of
...

I run miles, yet still
I find myself standing.
Time and time again
I tell myself it'll all go away.
...

Never again will I hear her voice
Never again will she hold me close
She's robbed me of the one Holy Love
Struck down in the prime of life,
...

None but a vast sandy field circling me,
I stand still under the heated sun,
And I lift my leg,
To retreat a track long erased.
...

Days have passed and now you're nowhere to be found.
Leaving behind merely blissful memories
You have long gone to your other place
Wanting your presence wasn't enough for your return
...

You've caused wounds that won't heal.
You've killed me and brought me back again
Only to hurt me once more
Days are going slow,
...

I've crossed the seven seas,
I've seen wonders of the world,
I've touched the deepest point on earth,
I've flown between the clouds,
...

Like the lingering leaves detached by the breeze,
Displaced from the neighboring buds,
With no final place to rest,
Doomed to wonder every corner of the land,
...
