The trembling hands

The trembling hands

A Poem by Nassira Merahi
"

true story ... true feelings ...

"

The trembling hands

 

 

“Did you do what I asked you to do”?

She releases a sigh that comes from deeply within….

The tasks and burden are mounting… no time to breathe…. no time to think.

She feels as if her life has been taken over selfishly!

All that remains of her, are the lovely memories of her family.

 

All seems to have become in a hurry.

No time to reflect, none to ponder on more meaningful thoughts,

Unless she somehow “steals” a moment of peace and calm…

Which, happens once in a while… when she is at the edge…

When she feels that she is pushed to the boiling stage.

 

No matter what she does or how hard she tries,

While sitting comfortably on the couch, watching TV,

He barely acknowledges how overwhelmed she looks,

Not even noticing that her hands are trembling,

That may be it would be sensible to treat her kindly and help instead of blaming…

 

Or even a “Thank you!” or a smile J would warm up her heart,

The warm heart that she is finding hard to keep warm.

Far away from the source of happiness and light,

She is holding tight on the rope of  hope and faith,

Smiling to herself in the mirror, to get a sense of love and care.

This was really very soft and touching!
Though, I found few lines very sad and full of sorrow, like-
"Far away from the source of happiness and light,
She is holding tight on the rope of hope and faith,"- This line really touched the core of me!
I'm really sorry if this is true about your life....But you are a strong girl, I'm sure there is something much better for you waiting~!

Sad but quite powerful! This is the gift of the poet: to draw in readers so they can feel the sorrow or the experienced pain beyond the trembling hands.

Oh Nassira, if only I could give you a great hug and tell you thank you for sharing your beautiful but sad words.. if only I could thank you for the sweetness of your spirit.

Your life appears to be so hard, giving, giving all the time with little or nothing given in return. I really don't know what to say to you: - you know yourself better than anyone, know that you're trapped .. .. on one hand you have a sensitive and wonderfully fine mind and, on the other hand you have your ancient faith which dictates your life and code of behaviour.

You deserve better, you deserve to be loved as a human being, you deserve to be appreciated as a woman.. Your sad, sad words are a scream for help .. if you can find help.. find it, please.

(((((((You))))))) THANK YOU FOR BEING MY DEAR FRIEND

My goodness Nasira, What a sad and touching moving poem, I know how you feel my dear friend, and that make me so sad, angry. No, no way you should feel so low, you are a wonderful wonderful soul , and a women, indepandant but still locked in the system , in the old world where the man control the women, when the women only there to serve, to work in the kitchen without any respect.... NO, you shouldn't wait for his Thank you, or a smile, if thats not coming from deep of his heart, if thats not coming from true love. I understand your feelings so well, you want to cry, to shut, I am a women, I have the right to live as free soul. release the love you have inside you, which you spread on here , and among your good friends,

The last sentnce is just heartbreaking.... when you want to feel love, come here, you have such a wonderful friends to tell you : We love you!

As always you moved me , Love Yossi
