Life goes on

Once
Tips of you fingers
Seems to embrace me
The hold of your hands
Sweeps me into safety
No matter
How much I grow
I'm still your girl
Have ever I told you?
That I still keep missing you
Where have you gone
Left me in absence
How painful is time
Without your presence
I'm not sure if I'm brave enough
Facing the trenches all alone
I have no choice but to go on
Glowing within my inner grief
I go on

~Remaining Just A Glitter~

I have finally woken up
Tearing your page
To countless stars
That meant to be released
Into far away space
A million light of distance, I stand
Gazing into past, your gone memory
Just bits left, glittering beautiful
That’s how memories…
Needs to be kept
Twinkling so far
Little stars in skies

"Que tranquila a paixão, toda silêncio e luz! " / " How tranquil that passion, all silence and light! "
Originally uploaded by César Augusto.

There is an absence
The air deserted space
No wind to sway the trees
Dew droplets remained
Did not slip away from leaves
There is me in this scene
A woman who imparted her name
In the sake to remain
Just a soul within your arms
A light that fills the absence
I'm your soul within the silence
In a transcending light
Ecstasy in burning flame
Unlike desire
In love tracing
Spread her rays
All alight with tenderness
This soul falls gently
Embracing yours

Ecstasy
That flamed within a single kiss
Fire embracing fire
Twirling emotion
Birthing tornado
Hot and cold
Vibrating unimaginable storm
Then wind halts
Emotions breathing in and out
The twister inside dies
Leaving silence touching emptiness
Invisible air
Shapes drops rippling blank atmosphere
I'm all those in your arms

The taste of love, Keeps me sore

And I can't live without you

Rain falls in tears

In every aches that lingers

Love aches at its first touch

Happiness, its not what it is all about

And you are the dream that Im dreaming

For my heart had poured in loving you

If you know loving you keep me breathing

Without the beats of my heart

Once every heartbeat of mine had died

I continue being your loving soul

It was from a fragrance
Allured to unknown aroma
I knew it was my destiny to reach it
Crossed the distance
Walking so blindly
The scent paved a way for me
I took a first glance
I knew my search has come to an end
Glossy petals
In color of the fire
The closer I get
Its scent becomes stronger
My heart can not resist any longer
Daring myself in taking the first touch
It swayed so lazily
Like it could hear the rhythm of the wind
I’m sipping the passion through all my senses
In its silence, I receive its invitation
To explore and unleash the mystery
As I put my hand over its body
Like needle piercing through my flesh
I never noticed the thorns
Acute stab to my heart
Hidden intentions speaks silent language

Moonlight on your face
And I see its glow
Perhaps you could sprinkle
Shreds of flames to me
That encircles loneliness
Seizing my misery
Radiance calms a lament heart
I see contentment in your smile
Carefree in your journeys
Every journey of yours
Shapes a meaning
Humbleness
Core light of your soul
I wish I could learn
Your secret
And you wait for no success
It’s granted to you
Freedom floats within you
Moon floats in the sky
Yet there is another side to the moon
A face of you
Is frighten to appear
A full circle of darkness
A burned out candle
Withholding agonies
Since when a moon spills tears!
The man in you cannot set it free
Strings of me adores your strength
The desire to tangle
Within your surroundings
Despite all complicity
You take the walk of life
Akin to leaf falling with easiness
Allow me to love your moonlight

Im Your Diary

Originally uploaded by Comma H.

I never thought that you kept a diary And on each page,

I was the character of your life story

The only one, yet the ink that had scripted me

It went beyond the surface of the laid pages

The engraving of your love I found it deep within your heart

I was the only one in your secret book

In every day this book its becoming thicker

In every page you made a new oath to love me forever

Could I be blessed with such love

Every day, I seem to fade away

Wondering if I’m worthy of such love

I question my soul, whether my heart have given enough

Or have it failed in giving the justice of devotion

I continue praying that the capacity of being human

Doesn’t fail me to love you eternally

Phase of Darkness

Into The Light
Originally uploaded by Jessica New.

I hope my phase of darkness will be a story of past
To gain wisdom to enlighten my path
I'm knocked through the corners of life
To truly seek, it is not an easy climb
In anticipation for the best quality of me to remain in me
Living, it is not merely about existence
Creating the person within one self is a continuous fight
With such aspiration, I pray that I don't loose this sight
Sometimes darkness creeps on the vulnerable hearts
The battle is over
I put my resistance with all my soul might
Out of darkness into the light

Entanglement

2006-12-28T14:40:00.000-08:00

When I grow into love
A garden field finds its way
A path of earth
That sobers me
Not just romance
Falling gently with dew
I find myself
Had grown
In maturity of tree
Like a wall built to stand
Defeating obscurities
I learned to make space
Without titles of scarifies
Meeting you half the way
As me and you tangle
Birthing a new meaning
In our entanglement
Just one obvious tree
Strong enough
Hardly can bend
In currents of wind

Copyright 2006 Nasra Al Adawi

I dedicate this poem to Rauf . Who has been kind enough to offer his photos to me to use with my poetry without even asking his permission. Rauf had somehow discovered that I get really inspired through photography. The photo of this tangled tree was so touching, I just had to gaze at it and allow it to speak to me. Please click (Here)to visit his blog. He has a very informative blog with powerful thoughts….

Rain Awakes

2006-12-21T07:30:00.000-08:00

Brush of grey clouds
Watching from far distance
Reluctant to allow the sun
So it will pierce light in me
Shadow of rain
Urging to fall
Yet like my tears
The sky above have not opened
A doorway of rain
My tears remain
All locked within
Its the transparency of rain
Absolves aches
A touch of romance under the rain
Relighting forgotten fire
Yet fire don’t flame in rain
No sparks to rekindle
Just inner flame awakes in rain

Copyright nasra al adawi 2006

I thought to carry my camera in search for traces of rain. As I stopped to capture the image sadness took over me in reflection of the clouds (I suppose). It's been awhile I have wanted to take images near by my home.

The photos above are mine taken on the same date of this post

Just silence
Lost voice without you
silent than the wind
That is who I am
No one ever notice
The empty space without the wind
Im not a breeze that might touch your face
Im not even the invisble air
Tickling your skin hair
Im emptiness left in void

Unknown Passion Flare

Just before the storm
Originally uploaded by Wam Mosely.

A stranger
That is who you are
Our greeting
Started with gentle smile
By single note of a smile acquainted
Your eyes into mine
In a spare of millisecond
Our lives were bound and connected
Mingled by the waves of fate
The destiny played its tunes
Just right
Two hearts embodied in single beat
In water of attraction stirred
All unaware
Melting in echo of our emotions
Life beyond life
Breathtaking moment
Beyond compare
Night or day
The magic lingers without an end
Entwined in a passion flare
Dancing unaware

Countless Glitters of Stars

, originally uploaded by aspect satyr.

O. Love
Come back to me
Once again
Remind me how to light
Countless glitters
Into this darkness
Painting this earthly space
In glitters of stars
I flame so far away
I flame so kindly
Yet my voice is million years
Distant from you
Watch me, twinkling in every star
Know that lovingly, I’m reaching out for you
I know from that corner of earth
You stand watching- the far away galaxies
There I am catching the never ending glimpse of you
Gratified for the moment that seems to last me forever
Into my wondering soul

Creations of God

On The Border, originally uploaded by Bisbohemian.

I owe an apperciation to Make A Living As A Poet
for this poem ..

This love of ours
Lingered in to various oceans
Crossed the eternity lines of centuries
It would not merely cross imaginary borders!
A barricade that separates us
Putting us as a tag of nation or race
We prefer to have a passport of being human
Or lovers that once have existed this beautiful earth
We rather be labeled nothing more than being among creations of God
So here and forever remember us
As once we were creations of God
Rejoiced in love
Deeply believed that love goes across man-made borders
It could never be a felony, to be imprisoned for life

Reinvented Tunes

2006-05-11T02:14:00.000-07:00

The Music
Runs again in my heart
Like never been heard before
Hearing it for the first time
I know that this music is beyond musical notes and tunes
Seeing the joy that it brings from your eyes
Music that runs in the cord of our existence
Life, wraps of magical melodies
Up to us to reinvent the tunes

© Nasra Al Adawi, 2006

This Morning it had started with me getting a poem from Lorena. She opened my monring window to find music in the corner of my soul. Thank you for such gift of inspiration Lorena.

The Day Without Me

If the day happens to begin without me
I urge you not to let your tears fall for me
Know that I’m watching you while I depart
Now I ask you to be brave
Hold that beautiful smile on your face
New journey after life had been opened up for me
Never away-never apart from you
I’m closer to you than you may think
Waiting for you to join me in this path of eternity..

Taking the risk

2006-03-05T11:01:00.001-08:00

Silly Adventure have left me tagged so before you go any step further. You have been warned that you are reading this at your own risk

The risk shall be taken

As life is made with nothing but risks factors

I shall go on with the challenges

Though Im afraid to take it

I have no option but to sip in fire of risk

I have warned my heart

It prefer to sip the drink as without this sip

This heart of mine as might as well be dead

Non of that I never been in Opera in my life so would not know and do not know what is Grand Ole' Opry (So how can I choose from something I do not know- but if Im taken why not I will for sure go as long it has no pronography what so ever ;-)).

10: What is the 1 great unsolved crime of all time you’d like to solve? I skip this

Living through You

I’m not sure where you go
Just let me go with you
I know you destination is uncertain
Your journeys have no beginning point
Nor does it have a spot to end
Carry me in your airy flow
I will stand through if your tide is strong
The turmoil of hot and cold
I want to linger into your journeys
Joining you in your boundless crossings
To witness all your heights
Maybe your were a whirlwind in yesterday’s phase
A weary wind today
Tomorrow a tickling breeze
I want to live through you all

Dieing with Me

2005-10-08T12:24:00.000-07:00

A farewell rose
Left on my door
at the early hours
of a new day
Blossoming with tears
Your tears of farewell
No card were left
No words were said
Just your name
Written on an only leaf
A leaf that joined this lonely rose
Like companion to a new journey
And here I am
With no companion but my soul
If roses can be embraced
I would embraced it so tight
to my heart
I can breathe the scent of your tears
Blended with the aroma of this rose
Surrendering to my emotion
Drowning the radiant petals with tears
Passing my pain to it
In silence drinking my salted sorrow
Dieing with me

Unsolicited destination

Hoping

2005-09-03T01:13:00.000-07:00

If it happens, that words could forever reverberates
Adjourning the soul in this recital of words
I’m hoping it shall be my name,
Reverberating through your lips

Though I’m uncertain if memory could endure the aging race
A legendary masterpiece is unforgettable -even if it’s in a short glance
I’m hoping I will be unending in your mind
Everlasting glow remains through the darkness
Kindly awaking your heart on its time of silence

Witnessing the silence of the sky
Towards embracing the earth without boundaries
I’m hoping you will embrace my heart with love
Giving love with out limits or boundaries
For love can be spacious-unlimited as the sky

Kutumaini
(Swahili Transltion )

Kama itatokea, maneno milele kurindima
Nafsi kuipokea, inayoyaghani daima
Ni matumaini yangu ni jina langu
Ndilo litarindima mdomoni pako.

Ingawa sina yakini ufahamu kutopotea
Na kizazi kinachozeeka
Sanaa bora inayosifika
Haisahauliki hata kwa jicho la kupita
Ninatumai, ntakuwa nisoisha moyoni mwako
Mng’ao wa kudumu gizani
Ukiuamsha moyo wako kwa upole
Uwapo kwenye hali ya kunyamaa

Mfano wa kimya mang’aingani kikumbatiavyo ardhi bila mipaka
Natumai utaukumbatia moyo wangu kwa upendo
Ukinipa penzi liso vipimo wala mipaka
Kwani pendo laweza kuwa na ujazo – uso ukomo kama anga
