If you are a poet and you didn't even know it

Good morning

It is only a heart, not brick or stone. Why should it not overflow with pain? - ghalib
@mahmoudsherif88
In happiness we were over the clouds
in sadness we were beneath the graves
In hope we are like lost in the desert
In loneliness we are like people of the caves

There is tragedy in life
like a bird in a cage
dreaming to fly in the sky
then when the cage is opened
It didn't learn how to fly!
@tosifasad
So many storms live quietly inside my head,
some ask for a voice, some deserve only a grave.
I wonder, if I speak, will they call me a hypocrite,
and if I stay silent, will I become one?
I say I do not care what people think,
yet here I am, weighing their thoughts before my own words.
Maybe this is not hypocrisy,
maybe this is the burden of knowing that every truth is not wisdom.
Some thoughts are sparks, they should not become flame,
some truths lose honour when spoken for fame.
The tongue may be brave, yet the heart must be wise,
not every storm deserves open skies.
To say less is not always to hide,
sometimes silence is where dignity resides.
Let the world call it fear, let them question my art,
I will not auction every corner of my heart.
So I will speak when the word is clean,
when the wound has meaning, not just a scene.
For a man is not false when he holds some things apart,
some thoughts belong to the world,
and some only to Allah ﷻ and the heart.

🌅💧The pain of having met you..then you telling me you need time away from me, Darling..is more joyous and delightful in my heart..than thinking of the pain of never having met you

Ghost of my thoughts
---
As the day fades away, my feelings become overwhelming
As if the twilight is my awakening
All day, I stay tough and motivated
But as the darkness descends,
It pulls the cover off my masked and buried emotions
Unleashing ghost of my thoughts to haunt me
My tears just won't drop
At least, that will make me feel relieved for a moment
When will the ride on this high current stream come to an end?
or at least slow down?
I open my mouth to scream, but all I did is gasp for air.
The ride has came to a sudden halt
My boat has tumbled into the stream
This is what I wanted, right? For the ride to end
Now I am struggling to reach the banks
Swimming as fast as I can
I have underestimated the current.
It keeps wrapping me, rolling me, and blinding my sight.
Hopefully, i will reach the bank eventually
If i don't get lost in this turmoil
