YoursA Poem by Laith N. Al AdhamTonight I sit out of words Trying to make out what to write But nothing compares to your voice chords And that smile I dream of and how it’s so white Tonight I write helplessly to you I try to explain my instability And there’s nothing else I can do But share with you my insanity I remember the first few words you said I recall the first time I made you smile It was as if my heart bled As if I have died for a while Still I pray to make all this last I still live on the drug you spread Still wishing to have you with me in my past Still every moment together is with me when I tread The first time I cough the scent of your hair 3 days I tried to suffocate myself For losing that scent I couldn’t bare And I began to think to myself What if I could have it forever and more? What if some wanted me to share? What if I could smell it no more? And all that made me stop and stare Touching your hair and that silk at my finger tips As if I had found the rivers of heaven Watching you speak and moving your lips Giving me shivers that had never been given And the day came when I held your waist As if I had found the lost treasures of the Gods And kissing your face without haste With your eyes watching me like guards Eyes. Eyes that gave me the challenge of a lifetime To dare and think of looking them straight And that took me quite some time But when I did I knew what it is that I hate It’s not seeing my reflection in your eyes for the rest of time And I began to divide, my senses sent to different parts And each feeling held on a side To try and understand your arts And little did I know that I was to be struck I didn’t know it was this hard And it would do me no good if I was wished luck And not even my words as a bard You can ask me if I understand today But my answer is simple and clear I’m more dazzled now than I was that day Yet things to me seem so clear “A magnificent complication “that’s what you are And it amazes my curiosity How I can go so far With the understanding stability Somehow I feel safe for knowing you exist I feel like a child knowing you’re there Others I feel like warrior with clubbed fists To protect you and show how I care Even now I still lose words Even now I fall under your spell And how I wish I can hear those chords And those 3 words which under I fell I love you I love your eyes and the way they see me I love you your voice and the way it rings I love what your heart tells me to be I love your words and all the silly things I love the truth your frown says when you’re mad I love the strength you defend me by I love the peace you give me when I’m sad I love your kisses and the way to me they fly And so I begin to smoke now My coffee mug right next to my hand Oh how I hate both of them now For taking the place meant for your hand All my money, my clothes, my books My music, my art and my dreams I hate them and I wish I can tear them with hooks For being close and you’re not here as it seems But most of all I hate my pillow case I hate it for all the right reasons I hate it because it’s there and not your face I hate it because it’s there for all seasons I hate it because I can’t smell you over there I hate it for being the place for my head I hate it because only touching you I should bare I hate it because of you, it has no thread I hate me, and I hate to be me now I hate that for you I can’t give enough I hate that for all this hate I bow And I hate loving to like it this rough Again my words fail to come to life My tongue is tightly tied God how I wish I can take a knife And cut through to what is trying to hide May you be blessed and always well May you always reign across my existence May you always keep me under your spell And I promise you no resistance And I end it though it does you no justice I stop my words before my fingers bleed But should you seek your own justice Then I am yours to lead And now I write no more I will speak of nothing else Now I shut my thinking door And I dream of your bliss But know this one thing Should I be asked in a later life If I was to give you myself again as a ring Then gladly I would answer yes and offer my life I stand to give you my heart And so I stand at your doors And this is my only part For I remain eternally yours. © 2012 Laith N.
