within the pain,rises the madness of reason and the sanity of the illusion..:)
Always on My Mind you baby...

Like my city...
what more madness i live
that the distance
only makes me love you more
brings you closer
you are the sea,i am your shore
you reshape my city
to shine in your gravity
here i am
like a lunatic,
writing you letters of love
every night
letters that are born of my anxiety,
your lust
and my mad longing curiosity
I want to love you here
in a house that is like you
styled international
lines of luxury you sign
homey and mine
I want to sit by your side
as one we would collide
just like i sit here by this playful lake
watching the tiny red fish dance
and i would explore you in a glance
and be amazed
You...
how many letters i wrote to you
i wanted to hold you with the words
with you i became a biased
to those letters who are closer to you
they look like you when you say them
and tremble in joy when you write them
they are like me
scattered
in your absence
gathered
within your existence
million colors you add
to the painting that was once sad
you manage these quivers
once you arrive
goosebumps strive
not to jump on my face
and expose me..
I see you on the streets
hiding in my heartbeats
in my morning coffee steam
the night i share with you my dream
you hold me
in the early morning
as if the day will only fit
in the undulated night
when i surf the features of my city,
I know you are around
when i long for the warmth of my city,
I feel your arms as my bound
when i roam alone in the crowd of my city,
I hear your steps
rising from the darkness of my solitude
to take my hand, just like my city usually does.

One's love wrapped inside the love of one's city or place, each overlapping the other. Nice one!
One word: Breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <oh and all those exclamation points too, lol ;) ~April
Ah, Love! To write a love poem, one must love and have been loved. Obviously you have managed to translate those ineffable emotions one feels into images and make the words play in a way so that the reader understands. Lovely love poem.

"I promise you'll be free
If your eyes will notice a more beautiful and desirable
You are free in their choice, I will let you
want, even to death, I will not touch a finger
you'll be free to do what you want,
Only come into me now "
- Said my heart, to your love ..
That was like bait, and then Your love,
went into my heart
Now your love inside me ..
you comfortable in my heart? Yes, I see .. Or you could write such precious words
YOUR LOVE
..hiding in my heartbeats...wow
really beautiful and passionate writing
Your words are so beautiful. One after another, they build into a perfect whole.
What a love letter! Very warm, deep and thoughtful.
LOVE SENSUALITY, PASSION, ROMANTIC, EXQUISITE, ELOQUENT STYLE OF WRITING.
Wonderful,
Joanny
"scattered
in your absence
gathered
within your existence" - I loved those lines. Such a beautiful poem!
This was perfection! The emotions when one is in love have been so beautifully portrayed here!! I got goosebumps reading it, as images flashed in my mind... WOW!!!
This City where I live offers just the same .. as he does..
an AWESOME read!! Thanks for sharing this lovely poem, and for making me feel so fresh!! Ahaa.. invigorating!
How very romantic. Beautiful poem.
Bellissima! I love it all. So far these are my favorite lines: "you are the sea,i am your shore / you reshape my city / to shine in your gravity". Now excuse me, I must read this again (and again). ♥
"here i am like a lunatic"...so true of deep love and how we act under it's spell!
Beautiful, this reminds me of the city I work for. It use to be romantic to me when i was a kid, but now after working in it for 15 years, I forgot how I use to feel it's presence and heartbeat. Thank you for this little reminder.
Lovely!
-Suja
A great ode to obsessive love!

I love this, from the little details (the red fish, the coffee steam) to the overwhelming interweaving of lover and city into one ubiquitous and sensual presence.

Love from the Moon
Abeer, this piece read for me like a stream-of-consciousness. It was as if you penned the words straight from your heart without alteration. This type of honest writing I truly enjoy. There is something magical about it... always... because it penetrates the spirit.
Ramadan Kareem to you and enjoy our lovely city which is always more special during this month.
Nevine

@Dulce your words areas special as you are darling..thank you for stopping by and leaving your sweet fragrance around..big hug :)
@Moondustwriter such an honor to have this sweet comment from you Moon..thank you much appreciated from the Rose..;)
@Gypsy Dear Gypsy..you do have a way to reach my heart with your words..am truly thankful to have you always by my side darling..:)
@Nevine it is from the heart..always straight from the heart..amazingly you are right,i never even embellished it or edited a word..somehow it came out as a raw material..like a mad pulse of my endless passion..i feel my city just like i feel my love..eternally MINE..:)
Ramadan is not the same ya Nivo..everything changed,wa7eshny Ramadan bta33 zaman..:)
I know what you mean about Ramadan not being the same. Yes, things have changed from when we were kids. I remember visiting during the summer and it was Ramadan and staying up all night at my grandmother's with my cousins... watching fawazeer and waiting for the mesa7araty to come around so we could throw cold water on him from our grandmother's balcony. He he he... we were little devils, but they were such good times. Maybe, hopefully, things will get back to the way they used to be... if we dream a little... yemken... ya rabb.
Big hugs to you, Abeer.
Nevine
Ah yes Nevine..i have almost the same memories in the house of grandma,my cousins and neighbours children..we used to hide with BOMB (local fireworks)to throw them on those who pass in the street at time of Iftar..and we used to hide pushing Dad there,he loved to play with us..hehe..nobody doubted the BG BOSS of course..;) ahhh..great times,but its all different now..people are gone,and my dad and i..we remember those times and smile..Masr 7elwa lessa..bas metghandara..;)
