Gorgeous, Cute, etc...

My first school crush...I was 14 years old.

***

Lately I've noticed this lad.
He's so cute; he's driving me mad.
First I noticed He's beautiful eyes.
The way they are so innocent & can't tell lies.
Their color as brown as tree bark
& they've got such a lively spark
His hair has a wonderful golden shine.
When he blushes, he goes red wine.
And his smile is just to die for,
You can alway tell its from the core.
In casual clothes he looks so cute,
Imagine what he'd look like in a suit!
He acts in mature and sensible ways.
I can sense kindness in everything he says.
He's got an excellent figure,
At which no one can possibly snigger.
But unfortunately, he's got a girlfriend.
That's a problem I can't fix or mend.
So, I'll have to look for someone else I guess.
Someone like him, more or less.

Life & Beyond

I had been reading some philosophy texts - and some extracts from Plato's work, and this is what I ended up writing:

How far can my
imagination take me?
Far enough to wonder
beyond reality?

Just imagine
the world shut down,
things disappeared
and life drowned.

Into the empty
blackness beyond.
Between there & here
there is no bond.

Imagine: no earth,
no sky, no universe.
Everything just
went back into reverse.

And we vanished
into thin ar.
And of our surroundings,
we weren't aware.

I wonder how
it would feel,
how scary
& how real?

But to think or feel
we'd have no chance
since we would have
ceased out of existence

Wow, can you imagine
everything gone?
The world fade as if hit
by a devastating bomb?

Or maybe we were transferred
to another dimension
And forced to live
in mysterious suspension.

Misjudgment

It was the end of grade 8. My first year back in Doha, after my 4 years in Egypt. And you know what they say...usually the first friends you make at a new place - are NOT the ones you stick with...




I didn't know this was going to happen, I cried.
What the hell happened to my pride?
I've been such a fool!
My friends ditched me coz I lost my cool.


Everything had gone according to plan,
Only I didn't expect this: she ran.
Of course I never caught her in time.
I was slow to understand, slow as slime.


Now my reputation is destroyed.
What happened hit me quick, like a fire asteroid.


Letting her go free was a big mistake.
She tricked me, slyly, like a cobra snake.
I should have noticed her change.
I should have locked her in a cage.


Her betrayal: unforgivable.
What she did is unforgivable.
