Poem (Who She Was)

Who She Was

By Mahmoud Al-Disi

My heart is like a sky whispering to the birds my emotions

they sing for me day and night with the beautiful sounds of the oceans

I love her beyond what words can explain

In her love I am driven insane

She's my gift that god has assigned

her name is carved in my heart and mind

She's the most beautiful angel I have ever met

the one the I think of at every sunrise and sunset

She's the moonlight of my dark long night

I see her love-filled eyes in the sky so bright

I am trapped within the softness of her hair

which brushes against her cheeks and flies in the air

She's the rare flower that I picked amongst millions

I would not sell our love not even for billions

The beauty that I see in her cute little eyes,

makes me feel like I am in the sweetest paradise

But one day I came to realize

that all this was nothing but lies

Her smile tricked me

Her eyes fooled me

and I never knew that her eyes can fool me in this way

and I had never believed that my feelings until now would stay

My heart cried a million tears

I keep it inside; no one sees or hears

I was the one who loved her the
