POEM 125
FRIEND...
LIKE AN ENEMY
If not my friend
perhaps my enemy...
You entered my heart ...
Playing with my feelings.
This heart in need of healing...
You deepened my wounds.
Like an enemy your salt
inflicted me with more pain.
Please for my sake
Behave like a friend.

POEM 126
IS IT LOVE..YOU THINK?
Nothing simple
not with people
not with love
Consider ...
You my lover
I your lover
One heart.
Seemingly ...
I part you
You part me
One body.
Actually...
You live there
I live here
Separate.

POEM 127
THE MIRROR
Face of my desire
always eluding me
Haunting my dreams
Appearing in my thoughts
I always see you
This face similar to mine
I feel so alone...
always so alone...
So here I stand again
gazing into the mirror.
Seeking some comfort
in the image I can see.

POEM 128
DREAMS
Dreams...
are what
they are...
not false
Neither true...
yet, significant.
Dreams ...
Like many mirrors
able to show
every angle...
revealing
all of life's faces.
Dreams...
No hiding place
all is stripped
from the mind's eye
allowing
differences to be seen.

DREAMS FULFILLMENT
I saw you
my heart spoke ...
"Hey Shauq..!
This a fraud
your eyes sight
effected..."
"The meeting
was a dream
that face
couldn't be
the same..."
"Not the one ...
you write of as perfection
that drives you to insanity
for the want of her love..."
No...it was no dream
you truly met,
you should know
long she's haunted you
The beauty you saw
not the beauty of a girl
but the fairy
who always visited your dreams

POEM 130
LISTEN OH FRIEND..!
Listen Oh Friend ...
Pride strength and beauty
I will gladly tolerate
Me...
gifted by God
with a loving heart.
You ...
cruel in action
destroys my hopes
Yet ...
Always my love grows
wishing you will love me.

POEM 131
MADNESS
Madness possessed...
Ever onward
this endless search
traveling day and night
like a fairy prince
unseen to the eye
tracking after you
who haunts my mind.

POEM 132
ANIMALS …
BUT WITH TWO LEGS
Good fortune..
By God's grace
you walk on two legs
you do not graze
or appear naked
You seem human...
But upon second look...
you are more animal
like the brutal men
from days gone by
who drank blood
ruthless in action...
Life has evolved
but you changed little
You continue this fighting
No deeds of merit
yet declaring your humanity
the great well wisher
People of mountains!
see your acts
where you are left...
One just passing through
This process ...
This revolution ...
This social change...

POEM 133
RIGHT OR WRONG
Soldier's game
writing names
on bullets
loading weapons
as you call out
for the rights of humans.
Today' madness
killing play
sacred war
Bullets flying
People dying
This in the name of God

POEM 134
WHO FOUND WHOM
Stranger...
Beloved...
Opening my heart
She revealed her words,
each page I read
the want of love
and that love was me
or so it seemed...
So now I wonder
was it I
who found you
or you who sought me.
