Recite this poem all alone
and read it in a grieving tone
its words are echos of my moan
and tears of raw depression

Through destiny I met a girl
she made my spirit dance and twirl
as if I found a precious pearl
amidst the deepest ocean

Her parents named her "shining ray"
her laugh creates the brightest day
and blows the dark of night away
she lights up all creation

My soul surrounds her like a dome
and in my heart I built her home
and paved my vains for her to roam
to sooth me with her motion

Sometimes she asks me would you cry..
if suddenly I were to die ?
or would you just release a sigh ?
or pay me no attention ?

I focused deep inside her eyes
and wondered why such thoughts arise
then told her that my heart denies..
to think of such a notion

And as we sat upon a dune
and looked towards the glowing moon
reflecting on a calm lagoon
and traded thoughts of passion

She looked at me and shed a tear
and said there's something you should hear
although my love is so sincere
and so is my devotion

With cancer my own life's at stake
and I dont want your heart to break
so I should leave you for your sake
before my sad conclusion

My life was torn with what she said
the moon so white had turned to red
I carried in my pulsing head..
the sorrow of a nation

I cursed the earth.. I cursed the skies
I filled the silent night with cries
and in my tears I drowned my eyes
and felt the worst sensation

In times of pain our souls are weak
they melt and then they slowly leak..
throughout the eye then on the cheek
as drops of pure emotion

I had an urge to thrust my sword
inside my chest to end my world
then hold her as my blood is poured
to die was my intention

But then my faith in God awoke
embracing me inside its cloak
I called upon Him to invoke..
His mercy and compassion

Then told her I will be your friend
until the day my life will end
so let our lonely spirits blend
to form an endless fusion

For everyday your face appears
is worth a life of endless years
so smile and let us wipe our tears
and shun this sad illusion

Lets look towards our future days
and live them in most joyous ways
and rest in God our trust and praise
and cherish our affection

until my life will end."
Always wondered if someone would stick by me if I was terminally ill...James

A shining ray indeed...this is a lovely poem, Arabian.

But unfortunately, I don't think that for all people there is a someone...sadly, that is the way the world turns.

Sad smile.
