sally sh. Poems

Once upon a time in exotic Egypt
The sun burnt the Nile's cheek
As it flowed eternally through the valley
And spoke of divine mysteries
...

It's the age of truth it’s the time of illusion
What’s sacred in my eyes is false in thine
But the most forbidden always the most desired
In both our eyes
...

I am here. Trapped on the shore for eternity
I strain to hear the sea…restrained it was and denied to me
Sailor O sailor I ache for the music of the waves outside your sea
Ever since the day I left your sail and stayed here
...

An empty road a slippery street
Tears of heaven pouring on the ground
A lone star...Looked sadly down
On where she'd wait and he'd leave
...

Lounging on the throne of heaven
God …so high above the rest of us
I see another throne going up
Aspiring to be compared
...

I walked the streets
The streets of ancient Palestine
A stream of stories and dreams
In my hands I found a plea
...

There she stands a homeless bride
Her white dress torn and stained
Watching her wedding from afar
Banished, where she's tortured and blamed
...

Beyond heaven's gate you hear tears
For I shall miss you there
Or you shall miss me
Coz its gate either welcomes you
...

When conversation is out of place
Words feel so small u wish u had said more
After so long I had had u near
My little words could never have expressed how I feel
...

A convicted murderer of innocent dreams
This world of people like you and me

Where suffering souls ache for peace
...
