when I tell you I love the rain
it is because I love the way it feels on my skin

when I tell you I love the moon
it is because I love the way it looks back at me

when I tell you I love you
it is because I love you
Don't ask, Don't Tell.
Please don't ask me
~I wont answer.
Don't ask me
what he's done
I do not like to speak,
this is who I have become,
I am forced to overcome
this thing you call pain
Don't ask me,
so I don't have to tell you.
Please mind my wish.
I will not express everything like a *****
but I do not want to share,
this thing that is a negative flair.
Don't ask,
don't tell

tell me your fears
tell me the reasons for each of your tears

tell me your secrets
remove the mask that you wear with discreet snippets

show me your flaws, open your doors
I want to show you that I'll always adore

tell me the things that make you resent
humanity, tell me what came and what went, tell me what you received and what you sent

tell me love, tell it to me as a cure
if you can't, show me something pure, you've already drawn me into your allure

tell me at Christmas and tell me on Monday
open your arms and I promise to lay
open your heart and I promise to stay

tell me if this is really what you feel, tell me a secret and my lips will seal
only to open when they touch yours
give me clear pictures and tell me what's real

Mirror and Tolerance never
Tell a lie.
Dr ZIK's Poetry
ZINET
It is the shortest poetic form of English literature which is being rapidly adapted to modern and busy civilizations as a powerful literary tool to express emotions. "Zinet" consists of a single line having up-to seven syllables, giving logical effects and known as a complete meaningful poem.
“Haiku” a Japanese short poem is of three lines while couplet written in “Urdu Ghazal” having full independent theme on its own, can also be considered as a shorter poem than Haiku in this regard.

But the nomenclature of short poems namely “Ziket” and ‘Zinet’ is the breakthrough in this regard.

ZIKET
It is the shorter poem than Haiku (Japanese). In this type of genre a complete poem comprises of two poetic lines; first line is of seven syllables while second line contains up-to five syllables and it is also last one.

First "Ziket" is written in English.

There's something
you'll never
know.

And it's
the way
I feel
about you.
You don't know how fustrated someone is, how angry and depressed they are until they tell you that they are.

Shoulds
Have horns
And ram reindeer with
Thistle bush antlers

I grow
From the seeds of others
Leaf green
As lilac winter tells me.

And the advice of others
Protects
Culpability from
The mouth of a sweet whisper.

Shoulds
Grow fangs
And live in dark forests
I know this to be their opinion.

I live
Longer longings
I rise
With every new day

And they, are still there
Dressed in soft leather,
Stirring teas and
Ready to tell me paths ahead

Predicting the worst weather
Without knowing the storm
They condone.
Advice.

I love you
Is the most
Terrifying words to say
If you ask me...

I love you
Is three words
Which everyone hope
That someone
One day will say
To them...

I love you
Is a way to tell
Another person
How much we care
About them...

I love you
Is three words
Which I don't think
That I'm ever gonna say
'Cause the first person
Who I honestly
Could have said these words to
He's no longer talking to me...

I love you
Is also
The only words
Which no one
Will ever say
To me
Because I am not
Worth loving...

I love you
I actually once had a dream
Where someone said it to me
In a bar
Right before he kissed me
But that was only a dream
And as we know
They rarely become real...
I'm one of those persons who can't say the words unless I really do love the other person....but if you try to make me say it by fishing for the words, then I won't say it...
