Saleh Ben Saleh Poems

My sweetheart lays asleep in her bed, on a goose feather pillow she had rested her head

Her half naked body wrapped in a white velvet sheet, her face was flushed red from the heat

My words are to those who mock people and think others they can out smart. It seems that their ego has far wondered, and their thoughts have drifted apart.

You may find wisdom in a fools wordings, or even in the words of the insane. And you may find ignorance in the words of scholars, even though knowledge they have gained.

In my darkest hour my thoughts wander, sometimes too far and sometimes just yonder. I find myself in total darkness, without a flame or word of kindness.

Entrapped in space, where sorrow thrives, enduring the pain of a thousand knifes. I feel the tears gather in my eyes, as a hundred questions in my mind arise.

If not for hope would we survive? It's only hope that keeps us alive. When we are blue and tears we shed, if not for hope in pain we tread.

In midst of storm where fears stride, solely hope remains our guide. When seas are rough and tides are strong, we pray and sing a hopeful song.

Today I witnessed another crime, that brings tears to granite or lime. I saw the albatross feeding their young, on midway island from what they had strung.

The birds had picked from land and sea, whatever food, their eyes could see. Among their pick was human trash, of every kind, not worth the cash.

Noah the prophet, was sent by God, to those who did not believe, he lived and preached a thousand years, but they still did not conceive. He begged and urged the pagan clans, but God had other plans. He built the ark at Gods command, to sail a mighty sea, they mocked and laughed when they saw the craft, but their doom did not foresee.

Moses the prophet stood tall and strong, and was sent to the Israelites. He came along when times were rough, and people hoped for light. With staff in hand he made a stand, where Pharaoh controlled the land. He was forced and banned from saving his clans, but God had other plans. They reached the sea when they tried to flee, and with Moses began to plea. But with Gods will, they crossed the sea, and Pharaoh ceased to be.

I have never given love much thought, it was the pleasure, that I always sought. Moments I spent, in entwining arms, attractive odour, and cunning charms.

Tempting warm lips, and sweet kisses, long soft moans, and lusty wishes. Shivers of pleasure, that made me high, a pounding heart, and breathless sigh.
...

I live among my very kind, equal in blood, but with a different mind. I always feel, I am alone, a tiny pebble in a pile of stone. Silent complaints and barren demands, I am a stranger in foreign lands.

Sleepless nights, wandering thoughts, entwined emotions of dreams I sought. Regions of sorrow and moments of pain, dark distant murmurs that drive me insane. Tearful eyes, and signs of fear, but in my nadir I must persevere.

Crystal teardrops, and an angel's pearly smile, a heart of solid gold, a trail of a thousand mile. A life of loving themes, romantic rosy dreams. Beauty that's versatile, and a healthy life style. I am woman.

White veils and fairy tales, silky paths, and crowds that hail. Kisses and cuddles and warm hugs, sweet love potions in crystal mugs. An abundance of love and a burning desire, a passionate heart and a look of admire. I am woman.
...

Here sits the widow silent and pale, from the heart of darkness her sorrows hail. Mournful eyes, shattered thoughts, bloodless veins and soundless calls.

With her broken heart her mind would plea, her eyes are open but unable to see. A saddened look, and a tired heart, an endless journey that tore her apart.
