Away She Went Poem by Moez Ben Meftah

Away she went..

Twenty six a fearful mix
A stream of years with no suffix
A bleak span struck with hits
An age of rage amidst the mist

Oh baby, you're a sprouting lily
For every hand in this land except his
For thee I trace the rolling chilly
Wheel of woe swelling in fears

Once I saw your serene eyes
Down I fell on my knees
It could be a fault of any sort
Or a chase of wild geese

she was majestic in every inch
Always the best indeed she is
Away she went out of reach and
Took my soul like nectar by the bees

Before she left she kept a promise
That she would come again
To take revenge of every man
I don't care if she goes or she comes

Once lost whom to ask?
And every friend wears a mask
To find your home is your task or
Keep rambling from the dawn to the dusk

Ask your mum or the traffic cops
You couldn't be always undone
Playing music to passers-by with no fun
Clinging to thirst by empty drops

I like my lines full of Rs,
Rife and bright as the stars
I love her name I love her eyes
Perhaps she did perhaps she does

Every girl is a heart and a frame
They look alike but not the same
Be aware, if duped it's a shame
