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!

Very well written, Sami.

In the short length of this write you have perfectly described the sacrifices one makes in the true pursuit of love. For there really is nothing braver than to love someone wholeheartedly and unconditionally, breathing in all that they are, and seeing the world through their eyes.

Another wonderfully executed poem. And stunning artwork!

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! So true and well articulated. You are appreciated in all sense and fashion. Thank you so much for all.

Hi Sami - it is me, Rosalind! I wanted to drop by and say hello - and also read some of your work - love the red dress on the picture! Loved this piece, too. Poignant, as others have mentioned - also a sweet reverence to all we hold dear. I am glad to see you drawing the images - and I hope you are well.

Whoa! Thank you so much Rosalind for this wonderful review and kind visit. I'm so glad you liked both. The poem is mine. Painting is not. Take care.

[Rosalind Gale]

Indeed - the red dress is how I used to be (lol) - the poem is the joy

Questions and exclamation marks... This formally made me embrace the casual cradling of grave... A radiant veil that both blinds and gives sight... Powerful force, love be...

[Sami Khalil]

Thank you so much gifted poet and friend for the unique review. Always a pleasure to be. Will love be is the million dollar question. Any other forms will tumble down.

[apennylate]

A pleasure, Sami, truly...

Love, is in a since, bravery. Allowing someone to share your inner most thoughts and feelings. Being a buffet, begging they take your dessert.

Wonderful and insightful as always Sami. Thanks for sharing.
