The Heavy Feathers

These unspoken words

tore me down part by part

as they poured through me

like plucking feathers

from my heavy heart

in hopes to be light

enough to fly

instead, I’ve learned to walk

and said goodbye

to my past life.

For healing is the art

of reincarnation

The Dark Side Of The Light

When life gives you lessons, you note them down. Someone sometime could benefit from the lessons you have written. This book has a few lessons – it has some real-life scenes.

There are a few pages where imagination kicked in, where the author imagined and wished these things happened.

Some wishes were written in the form of poems, and they became true.

Some poems are a “thank you” letter. Some of them are appreciations and acknowledgment of blessings. Nevertheless, most of them are unspoken words and unsent letters to people who caused damage to the soul of a writer.

The Child Of The Desert – ابن الصحراء

Dr. Faisal Almehaid artfully disentangles emotions, giving these abstract feelings words, and meaning. These poems progress in a spectrum, exemplifying the different states of need someone can go through.

Both in Arabic and English, these poems are different yet portray the beauty of both languages.

The Blue Moon Diamond

Perhaps it had to rain,

For the clouds to clear

Perhaps I had to fall,

To conquer my fear

Perhaps the wind had to blow,

For the trees to sway

Perhaps my heart had to break,

For my feet to stand and pray.

- Shama Chilmi

The Art Of Emotional Venting

And with every ending comes a new beginning. Like when you finish watching your favorite TV show, or reading a great book series, or even writing a poetry book…

When an author concludes their final artwork, the piece will keep on being interpreted and left unforgotten.

This may be my last words in this emotional venting canvas but be sure to grab your own paintbrush and create your unique art story.

Sutured Into Place

"this is a poetry collection;

a journey of change of perception, 

a product of chaos,

a reflection of a tear wiped,

a lesson of a wound dried,

a build-up of growth,

from my heart to yours,

to hold on."

Still Here

Broken childhood, broken dreams.

Never heard, yet misunderstood.

Is a home a safe place to be?

In this captivating work of extended verse, immerse yourself in the poignant tale of a woman yearning to break free from the shackles of her past. Caught in a web of tangles and knots, she finds solace in her solitude, dreaming of a life unrestrained and full of wonder. With plans woven in her mind, she embraces the quiet corners of her world, seeking refuge in the pages of her own thoughts.

As she navigates the harshness that surrounds her, she keenly feels every emotion, adapting and surrendering to the circumstances. Though made to feel fortunate for mere survival, she knows deep down that true happiness eludes her. Restless nights plagued by guilt, fear, and unfulfilled desires push her to fight her own battles, determined to overcome personal obstacles rather than wandering into the lives of others.

Soulfully Scribbled

Scribbling, scribbling on the wall,

A wall of love, hate… Full of uproar

A piece of art began to fall

From my heart, striking it all

Into fragments from my soul

Shattered, broken chaos uproar

Striving to remedy my life-long scar

Scribbling, scribbling on the wall…

Sofia

“Burn”

Burn in shelter, in escape, in refuge

Burn in a sacred secret space of destiny

Burn in shame or in contentment

Burn in ecstasy

Burn in sweetness or in endeavours of sacrifice

Burn layers of ego, shadows, traumas, and hidden vice

Burn the falsehood of earthly fights

Burn your depths to screams and aches

Burn, your flames will light the way for others to find

Burn my love

Burn in delight

On a journey of the self, the seeking for clarity and wisdom, yearning for a connection with the higher self - this comes with highs and lows, pushes and pulls, resistance, liberation, blazing passion, and calm surrender. 

Sofia’s secrets of the blue will take you on a journey, surfing these tides of longing. This collection of poetry is a search for spiritual enrichment in the pursuit of unity.

So Many Hats (or Veils)

We play many roles in life and wear many hats: the human, the individual, the romantic, the man or woman, the parent, etc. 

Can you make a connection with someone who seems so foreign to you, someone who wears hats you can’t begin to understand? Hats that - on first glance - may even seem threatening to you? 

Is it possible to wear many hats without losing yourself, to integrate them into one “I”?

These are some questions I explore in my poetry, questions that float around in my head, under my own many hats.

Underneath

all my hats,

my eyes—

they stay the same.

Windows

into my soul,

that’s ’who

“I”

am.

I am not

any of my hats

or roles.

I’m just another

kindred 

soul.
