Brave It

Romance and courage...

Brave It…                      Sami Khalil

I braved wars, rains and high seas

The Western and Eastern fronts

Language barriers

The veils that cloud many moons

The heart quivers,

Awakening at night

The speed of sound,

The light of reason

Questions and exclamation marks

Responses and rejections

The casual, the formal

The radiance of your star

The endless search

Between…

Cradles and graves

I braved

loving you!

"Between cradles and graves, I braved loving you"

Wars, rains and high seas are no match for this love...
sometimes we love at such high risk...maybe it is the ultimate courage.
this is so powerful, Sami.
Glad I found this piece...

[Sami Khalil]

It is indeed dear sir Jacob as you say. Two hearts submitting to each other in love and mercy, two wills working together, two egos becoming smooth. Thank you so much great poet for the visit and take on this poem. Stay strong and inspiring.

'Brave it'
SamiKhalil,
For the responsibility, care and protection of a trusting soul your poem shows the reality of seriousness. It is a serious thing, a mature endeavor to love another and be loved enterchangable with respect. As the title says; 'brave it.' Work and bravery be patient in the challenge within lulls and tempests within relationship. I'll stop here. anyway I found your ideas within to be very fitting and worth the thinking on my part.
Blessings,
Kathy

Sami,
Same for you. We learn, we try, we hope, we share. Keep shining your own unique personal views. We all need each other.

[Sami Khalil]

So true. Much obliged.

[Beccy]

Ah yes, love, how it makes the world go round; how pointless would our existence be without it.

We all pray for a knight in shining armour of course, such a pity that so often our heroes turn out to have feet of clay. :))

Beccy.

[Sami Khalil]

Very endearing. I hoping the object of your affections was worth it. Such reckless abandon in the pursuit. Some of us make due with a mere text message. Well penned. :)

[Sami Khalil]

All worth it dear poet. The joy of true love is immeasurable and worthy of all pursuits. I thank you for all...

Love can go over any boundaries or borders. Youyr message is clear and visible. Form poem is clear too. You make nice poem.

[Sami Khalil]

[barleygirl]

Whoa! This doesn't come across like the most complimentary message (as far as describing the courageous efforts of loving this person), but it's very impactful! I guess loving ANYONE is much more daunting that all the minor challenges you detail here to make your point! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! Thank you so much Barleygirl for this outstanding review and kindness. So good to see you.

[Silmara McGarry]

:-))) . You are most welcome!!!

[lightsong]

I'm glad I opened this to read, I found my self in many of Your lines, and though this speaks of love but in my mind it reflects also writing poetry, at least for me it's so.

Thank You for sharing Your words here, and they have a "Nizarian" sense :)

[Sami Khalil]

You are graceful. Thank you so much beloved poet for all. Take care.
I love Nizzar Qabbani and Mahmoud Darwish. They speak to me.

[lightsong]

From how I write, I believe I'm more like Nizar and Gibran :) and You are so welcome!

If I spoke in Arabic will You understand me? I'm not sure?

[Sami Khalil]

I do. I write poetry in classic Arabic too although I never posted it. I preserve them in a suitcase till the right time.

[lightsong]

That's wonderful! Good for You!
