A few poems

Here is a poem I had to write for my first assignment in my English class. Hope you enjoy reading it.

Unattainable

Do you see now? It’s here, it’s there, and it changes
to different depth, height, journey.
Grab it, hold it, don’t let it go, it won’t give you a second chance
in it there is wisdom, warmth, infinity.

Crying out its name is the key, again, again,
Once more, don’t stop, let the smile be.
It is near; it is close, its name, again, again.
You feel it don’t you? No, no. It can’t be.

Never.
It is so far, so cold, it sees you.
Further.
It moved, it moves, away from you

From me.

  1. Raed... your "unattainable" poem (which I liked very much) reminded of this poem by Bukowski... about life if you want... I hope you like it and find it inspiring

    The Laughing Heart (Bukowski)

    your life is your life
    don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
    be on the watch.
    there are ways out.
    there is a light somewhere.
    it may not be much light but
    it beats the darkness.
    be on the watch.
    the gods will offer you chances.
    know them.
    take them.
    you can’t beat death but
    you can beat death in life, sometimes.
    and the more often you learn to do it,
    the more light there will be.
    your life is your life.
    know it while you have it.
    you are marvelous
    the gods wait to delight
    in you.

    salamat
