      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

    A FLOWER I HAVEN'T SEEN

    Many think I'm crazy in the pursuit of Jasmine. 

    A flower I haven't seen but I deeply determined to make her mine.

    even if I have to mine.

    I want to see the flower and with her I want to dine. 

    With dim illumination of the moon, we'll be fine. 

    Peeping at Jasmine while sipping from a glass of wine. 

    Reading to her some poems stressing on one specific line. 

    Which says…I will forever stick to you like tags of pine.

    A RARE GEM

    All the trees bowed for the wind in its entirety 

    Except the only one which escaped its severity. 

    I never thought she could be this strong! 

    A dolphin in the pool of an ocean singing a song

    I never thought she could be this pure

    Like a diamond stream of paradise cure

    Can she allow me a sip? That, I am not sure! 

    But I am all hers, if she is ready to lure. 

    She is not only endowed with the beauty of face, 

    but also with an uncommon trait, beauty of heart. 

    What a rare gem among the myriad stones? 

    What a special voice with majestic tones? 

    She is the paradise wherein I wish I dwell forever. 

    Where all I wish is mine; where we all glue together.

    AFRAID OF REJECTION BUT GOT HER ATTENTION

    He was afraid of rejection,

    Though he has shown her his intention.

    He cannot but build a home of affection.

    Which allows not the intruders of any invasion.

    It has been a while he hasn't seen her not in any occasion.

    He dreamt and he dreamt but always woke up in frustration.

    Until this day, she unveiled the veil of reservation.

    He honored her, respected her as he prayed for no separation.

    She adjusted her hijab blocking other creations' attention

    She readjusted it for him when they were all absent; an observation

    He didn't fathom why she did that until the next day

    When he met her in a garb of identification.

    ALMOST A LOST RED CORAL

    He got the gem he has been looking for 

    He has held on her now with all his four

    Why was he clueless all these years? 

    Why couldn't he then read all her signs? 

    For his love that stares at him with all her eyes 

    Not for a day but 1460 days

    And he had never looked her side just for a day

    Why
