Lines against StormBy Mirna Riad Arabi
Blowing storm, recalling whistling windReaching my ears, while it comes closer
Phrases carrying on, having no end As tempest crawled to my door locker,
Heart beating, racing the incidentWarning my lines of forcing smasher
Its role must be accomplished Absolutely with no compassion,
Sentences are being linked As meaning getting warmer
Shielding bleeding inkFrom outsider torture,
Yet, the terrified moment occurredSwallowed each speaking sheets corner
Though all copies still kept, and heardFor every part of me, is a recorder.

Moments by the SeaBy Mirna Riad Arabi
It is the way sea and your eyes
Match each other constantly
Both put a "spell" on the soul
Divers it, to where is poetry,
Golden sand is a reversible sightOf your skin, under sunlight
Painting, artists cannot find shape to fit
Music, no one has ever heard yet,
Sunset warms inner coldness I feel
As your voice sneaking gently
Daring me not to leave
I surrendered, willingly,
Chilling air is moving freely
I am drunk on love, entirely
Losing myself, completely
To the one who turns beauties into me.

Sighs ofMiles
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Sighs, shorten the miles
Where my beloved, Smoothly lies
Move me away, over his side
Leave no trace behind,
Get me beyond this wall
Into his embrace, make me fall
Shut out time, when approach
Hypnotize ticking seconds of the watch,
Invade each beat of heart
Grant me, once, the right
Chase sanity, in me, out
Along with his guts, let it unite,
Shining path, endlessly wide
Only a touch, and we combine
A soul can live a thousand times
In this eternal love divine.

A Journey through Me
By Mirna Riad Arabi
The poem by which now I live
More than half of it is fancy
Splendid journey, holding beauty
exists only through me,
So high up, I can see
colorful rainbow, endlessly it seems
birds singing in my ears
sound of leaves, running streams,
Table for two, under one big tree
Lilies and grass so green
A smile on my face appears
As my love, found his way into my dreams,
He has been here early
playing for me a sweet melodyIris is lifting us gently
while we are falling upward, helplessly,
Between these two arms, I feel complete
With him I breathe differently
this is where, I don't want to leave
For no road leads here, in reality.

From Afar
By Mirna Riad Arabi
So I watch you from afar
As everybody else
Though heart being drifted where you are
Something doth glow in its depth,
Following your acts, moves you do
Catching each glance coming through
Your expressive eyes, adorable smile
Seems to shorten every mile,
Step or two more, then flee
No face to see, no words to hear
Not to return cause my fear
Yet still feeling your presence near,
As I breathe in deep
Emotions, are forever to keep
Blown away with every breeze sentCarrying within your scent.

Fancy Image
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Where the unknown lies, I'll be here
Waiting for you to share my dreams
With your pretty smile, deep look, that heals
Every wound my heart keeps,
Forget the time for a while
It's not a sin, nor a crime
With you I want to fly
I'm falling, yet am still high,
Let us reach the night
Steal away its light
We will be out-of-sight
Whispering' I'm yours tonight',
Tell me words I won't forget
Break the silence, make me melt
Before this vision comes to an end
And my 'daymares' attend.

You,Me, and a Shadow
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Beside you I always see
Her shadow standing still
In every move there is she
With her smiling mockery,
Capturing you with her soul
Keeping you close to one sole
Smashing my heart with a look
Telling me you've been hooked,
Dragging every single part of you
To her far away world
Bringing back years that gone
And in old memories you drown,
In wonder I stare upon
Of what had passed, or will come
No place for me, I can see
You've never fallen for me.

I·m Gone
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Without an excuse, I must leave
Do not misunderstand me
Your fear stole my internal peace
Banned my thoughts, my beliefs,
Your hands are so coldPossessed by a certain inner doubt
Making me run before I even walk
Trapped with an awkward quiet sound,
Your eyes set a fire
Burning any delicacy whatsoever
Neither hope, nor trust exist
Struck your head in distress,
Youre infinitely strange to yourself Your intentions are hard to tell
Reasons dismissed, chances being thrown
And Im gone; Im gone.

It's Over
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Don't say it's over
Because I can't get over
I tried over and over
To end your love, and start over,
But your love lives inside
Moving in all sides
Dragging me to your side
Putting all reasons aside,
Hope one day you'll recall
Our love and make a call
Say my name, as you used to call
Even when you're on call,
If only I could find a way
To keep my heart away
Let my feelings under way
Push you out of my way.

YOU
By Mirna Riad Arabi
It's no longer a big dealIf YOU, can't be near
I've learned my lesson well
Rescued myself from hell,
I'm not naive anymore
Praying to see YOU, or get a call
Thinking life has no meaning at allWithout YOU, everything could fall,
I won't turn the years again
In all their loneliness and pain
There's nothing more to give
Absent from YOU, I chose to live,
In a minute there's timeFor us to revise and decide
No matter what YOU, say or do
My heart will always get over YOU.

At Last,You wonBy Mirna Riad Arabi
At last, your real world won
Now you're free to go on
The pretty things that I hold
And all my feelings, were fold,
Take your deeds, be away
As far as you can stay
In your cocoon I couldn't adjustToo tight, too cold for me to adapt,
Finally the curtain was closed
Ending a play, written by both
Your selfishness gain it all
A hero you were all along,
A great bow for your success
I lost the battle, I confess
But life is like turning wheelsWinners will face their defeat.

Unanswered QuestionsBy Mirna Riad Arabi
Why do people like to hurt?While others should pay
why some like to show themselves?Hearing no one but what they say,
Why the past we can't forget?Always afraid of what will comewhy doing the same mistake?Repeating it more than once,
Why there are a lot of deceiving?And so many still don't careHeart-less with no feelings
Giving all the hatred instead,
Why am I still in love with you?Why I am that fool
Missing you when I'm sure Your love never been true.

Knock,Knock,KnockBy Mirna Riad Arabi
The past came knocking at my door
I froze, not knowing what to do
Should I open to let it in?
Or prevent my ears from listening,My heart jumped to open
My mind shouted, to stop him
You're the one whose been harmed
Why acting so dumb?
I was stuck in the middle
Waiting for the right decision
Part of me wanted to go
The other part begging to hold,
Until this moment, I'm standing still
Can't find words to end my poem
If only my past could help and say
The reason of coming back again.

Mirror on the wall
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Exactly what is your role?
My appearance is all I see
You keep staring at me;
Oh, mirror tell me why
Can't show who I am inside
Help me if you can
And try to lead a hand;
Mirror you're just a lie
I ask questions, never got a reply
So sick of this deceit
The way you've tried to cheat;
For you, mirror, I have a deal
I don't think you're real
It's time to let you fall
No more mirrors on my wall.

Children·sFuture
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Dangerous future, children are expecting Full of internet connections
Spending their time playing, chatting Without any restrictions,
New language, they are using Easy for talking, and introducing
Only three letters said, to meet a new pal What is your ´ASLµ!
No more laughing sounds Nor at home, or around Faces lost their features
While fingers are typing ´LOLµ Thinking is no longer their concern As long as "Google Search" is there Asking and browsing all they need
Answers then, on the screen, appeared Net addiction that what it seems
Without computers, their world looks weird Actions might reach the extremes
If anyone with this device interfered.

Love Is
Love is changeable just like seasons of the year.
It makes you fly high where you can see colorful flowers and feel thesmoothing breeze, taking you where spring is;
love has a tricky way in stealing years from all, until we become old,
then abandon us, same way trees do to yellow leaves in time of fall;
But sure no one can ever forget that love is hot, makes your body
flames without fire, just like burning woods in summer;
It also hurts deep inside; bring coldness to hearts, makes people run
away, looking for a shelter, as if they·re hiding from heavy rain in
winter.
So love is, as each letter shows; Language of Various Emotions.

Music of silence
By Mirna Riad Arabi
Lips are murmuring, laughing, whispering; eyes are staring, weeping,
blaming; some faces are full of happiness, others covered by sorrow, the
breeze is holding their echoes, passing through me, yet I can¶t catch the
scene.
I, with my senses, have been taken where the music is, dancing beat along
your heart, listening to a beautiful tune, which has no sound, your deep
look is playing a soft rhythm inside.
In the outside I am living, but my feelings with you are being; your hidden
presence mutes all the voices around, and music of silence appeared,
among the crowd.
