Gule Rukhsar Poems

I dream of a starry night,
Full of wonders and amazing sights.
A hope of a new world, a new love;
A love I imagine myself to be.
...

Sometimes I find myself empty,
As if my soul has left to wander around
In the alleys that carry my dreams.
Dreams become reality,
...

Waking from a nightmare into a dream,
A dream that I imagined for far too long
In a decade full of pain, misery, and woes.
Woes of my heart whispering to me,
...

I am feeling new emotions
As I untangle each fiber of my existence.
Every knot that I untie
Leaves me even more bewildered,
...

In the nooks and crannies of my soul,
There are pieces of me, unhinged and raw.
Not all are pieces of light...
Not all are pure...
...

There's a ruthless cycle,
spinning endlessly,
dragging my beginning toward its end
and still, it starts again.
...

Put on a smile and dance through your pain
Be happy and deal with your misery
Not a word about the unending tears
No clue to be left of the scars that won't heal
...

I am at a loss.
I don't have the words
To put it out there anymore
For the pains that still reside within me.
...

The chaos of my soul wants to dance freely,
but this world is too small
to let it be free.
I have made a golden cage
...

Dusty roads
and a stoney pavement,
ruins of past and of present;
a traveler lost
...
