Hate - Poem



It sits still,
Slowly simmering,
Waiting patiently…

Waiting for that moment
When the shell bursts
Unravelling the horror within!

It knows your weaknesses,
Your dreams and your desires.
It waits
For that moment
To shine like a black smoke
On a beautifully calm morning.

It creeps to your mind and heart,
Both at once
Enveloping them in a shadow of fury.

As silent as a snake,
It knows where to hide
And when to strike!

Fear itself fears it.

Hot like iron coming from the furnace,
It is loud and angry,
Like adrenaline rushing through your body,
It knows no end.

It's possessive,
Addictive,
Like black magic.

It inflicts the powerful
More than the weak,
For it seeks those with the most to lose.

It is unresting,
Unrelenting.

When it strikes,
It gushes
Unchallenged!

It is intelligent,
It knows you.

Like heroin,
When it possesses you,
You cannot control the urge,
The need, the desire…
You let it rule you.

Like a Vampire,
It lusts for blood.
Like an angry boulder,
It desires utter destruction.

Can you hear it?

It's like furious hooves
Trampling a colourful flower bed.

It is pure
Possessive
Paralyzing
Hate!




- Note: I was planning on a book review for a scary short story collection for Halloween but stuff happened so I figured why not post a scary poem instead.

Comments are highly appreciated on this one.

The Map of Love by Nada Adel Sobhi - Poem



Lines upon lines
In an endless sea
Of beauty…

The wind calls to me,
Hails my name,
As it blows on my face.

I navigate the water
In search of your heart,
Your soul, You.

I hear your voice
On the wind,
In the current.

Call to me,
Guide me
On our map of love.

Burning Rain




Rain
Acid rain
Pours down on me
Burning me

I scream
But my screams are lost
Amidst a million others

Fire on sensitive skin
I can feel my flesh burn
Flames erupting
On my arms and face

I can smell the fire
Emanating from me

My crime?
I lived
In a land of eternal misery,
Never-ending greed,
Ever-lasting lies

I lived
When a time
Of honest living
Was not possible

I lived
And the rain
Burned me
As punishment
For my virtues.

Nature's Trance


Can you hear that distant melody?
That woman’s voice amongst the trees?
As the sun sifts through the leaves
The earth dances under your feet,
Like a beating heart.

Look closely but not desirously,
You’ll see fairies of all colours;
Transparent glittery wings
Fluttering against the wind,
Like baby butterflies.

Inhale the fresh air,
Taste the forest’s scents,
Your tongue will yearn for more.
Orange, pine, mint,
Roses, rain, damp grass.

Your bare feet feel the rhythms,
They dance in this mystical trance.
The air carries you,
Your voice now pure, magical,
Sings a melody in the distance.

The forest is calling you:
‘Become part of me, fulfill your destiny’.
A woman’s voice sings amongst the trees
No one can see her,
But her voice resounds an ancient melody.



This poem was also titled "Songstress". Feel free to tell me which do you find more fitting, or make your own title suggestions. Thank you.

Lost (in Space)




Readying, running, racing, accelerating,
Then shooting off as a rocket shoots into space
Into the cold, blinding dark abyss

No light to guide you,
No bird songs to warm you
No touch of love for you.

Magical moments forgotten,
Lingering, loving lullabies fade,
Sweet sentiments wash away.

Soaring above invisible clouds,
Wondering, wandering, searching,
Tears fall from the piercing cold.

You miss the irritating angry rain,
You long for the buzzing bee;
Silence and emptiness envelop you.

Their tentacles embrace you;
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
The blinding blackness resounds everywhere.

Poisonous,
They begin to flow in your veins,
Mixing your senses together.

Your head is getting lighter,
Your soul, forgotten;
Everything is fading…

Wrath



Black
Is not my colour.
It is red;
Blood red…

Black is nice,
Calm and understanding
But always,
Misunderstood.

No.
I'm not like that.
I do not care for you
As sweet Black does.

No!
I do not like the dark;
It is far too quiet for me.

No!
I yearn to be heard.
I like to pierce the silence.

Zeus' thunderbolt,
Poseidon's trident,
Hades' staff,
Should be my toys of destruction.

I indulge in pain,
In red-and-orange flame.

The sight of blood
Soothes me,
Caresses me,
Intoxicates me…

I am a prey to pain,
To snares and demonic games.


Yes!
Bury your thoughts,
Hide them in your little shell,
Hide and lock them away,
Till I come for them.

Then,
My hell-hounds will howl,
Break free and roam loose!
No wall or weapon
Can keep them at bay.

People,
They will tear to pieces.
Aye,
And your soul too.

Rage and roar
My wrathful friend,
Rage,
And let nothing hold you back!
