You could change the world.
You should.
Repeat this inauspicious comment to someone;
Age isn't part of the equation.
Even the youth may listen, may remember,
I should change the world.
You did. Some place, at a time unknown.
It's not so obvious as the Butterfly Effect;
Appearing subtly, less noticeable than
Pedaling into a velvet N-E Huron breeze
A walker feels on her wet lips
During a burnt Autumn stroll.
I changed,
And rocked the world
Of  my loved ones.
Dear past self.
If you read this, you might realize that you have been through a lot of difficult things.
Look at yourself in front of the mirror so you could see yourself that has grown into a strong person.
You might have gone through so much pain and scars that you are no longer trying to cover up.
You have had enough and even more than enough.
Let time give you a chance to meet with happiness so you can see that the world is full of beautiful people.
Let them surround you, fill your days with meaning, and drive away your loneliness.
Let them be proud of who you are now.
You are extraordinary.

Time is.
Time takes.
Time lives.
Time has beauty only seen in moments of its existence
Time is the unknown
repeating routines of its experiences.
Day-by-Day
Minute-by-Minute
wonder surrounding time,
giving moments, expanding existence.
Leisures linger in wonder.
Grasping moments.
Time is.
Time takes.
Time gives.
Every moment given is a chance to expand knowledge.

Wait
Please wait
Please don't tell me this is all there is
Every day I'm waiting for something to happen
And nothing ever does

You sit on the floor and look up
I wander
I wonder
Do I try to find a way?
Will you let me?
The ocean waves crash again
Wait
Please wait.

I see opportunity
Everywhere I look
So many ways
To play
Out the possibilities
Of every outlook
And enlighten
The present day
Bring about understanding
Love
To lead the way.

We cannot get back
to the past
that we once knew
cuz that would undo
all the progress
we've made.

Life's not like
a video game.
We don't get to redo,
no replaying
going through
old levels
that we want to.

So, if it's just one shot
one life that we're given,
one moment to live in
this game we're playing.
Then it's not about winning.
It's not about losing.
It's not about gaining another day.

I won't see you after I die
but you can always stop by
and read what I write.

If ever we leave this moment
Please remember all the good times
Days filled with laughters
With two hearts beating the same rhythm

If ever we look back
Please forget about the bad times
The petty fights and silent treatments
Where everything is taken for granted

If ever we change
Please promise not to forget us
The “us”, who faced life’s twists
The “us”, who overcame the same

If ever our fate cross again
Please let's reminisce together
Those days made all seemed better
Even when we ignore each other

If ever there’s another chance
Please let’s make new memories
No hesitation, no guilt
This time, no goodbye

Just a chance ...

nothing more i ask ...
just a chance ...
another chance ...
to translate ...
what i hide inside ...
for you ...

lot of feelings ....
with so many words ...
runs into my mind ...
to my lonely heart ...
which it has no one ...
never ...never ...
never got any guest ...
only you ...
although ...
lot of eyes ...
knocked my heart's door ...
tried to get into my heart ...
but i never opened this heart ...
do you know why ...
because ...
you are the queen ...
who owned all rooms ...
into my heart ...
and sat on it throne ...
and kept dancing ...
with my poetic feelings ...
days by nights ...

yes my only sweet love ...
just hear me more ...
and give me a chance ...
to translate my feelings ...
for you ...

one chance please ...

hazem al ...

To love with the heart wide open
The true point of existence
To live and really live
The skin splayed fresh
Vulnerable beings
Taking in every drop, ounce, molecule
All the pain, all the heartache
All the fear just for a small chance
at a glisten of hope
