STAIN...
stained with pain I did not bargain
My heart is strained my hands are tied
And my smile well forgotten
I have lost the charisma of my smile
The beauty of my happiness
I can't help but ask why pain
Drowning in an amazing confusion I ask again
What fault had I
I have lost my sleep and regret my dreams
Already been sad I have this to add
A tear so honest
Creating a flawless sea
I cried a thousand fold to console my stars
Tears I have as cold as fire
But in my fate are screaming stars
Spare me this pain
I ask again
Oh skies above what is my cure
Is it the patience of the moon
Or the calmness of the sun
Is it the purity of roses
Or the love of doves
What is my cure
Pleasure of my sadness is immeasurable
All I wish, a crown of happiness
Is that too much to ask...

Poetry Talent - She is Zarah - Fatima Sumda
She is Zarah who leaves in the fragrance of flowers
And feed on the purity of doves
She prays in the flote of calmness
And hide in the shades of mountains
Indeed she is Zarah
With a pain of roses
With a smile as devouring as sunset
She sees as far as seas
With a sight as pleasing as snow
She wears a gown of oceans
That flows as far as fury
She is mystical, just like magic
She's found in the garden of moonlight
Kind as warmth
Sincere as sight
She's the girl with eyes of ice
She sights beyond the sea
Her personality, full of majesty
Her entirety, out of reality
Her humble soul, noble as chastity
She is Zarah
Queen of tranquility...

POETRY TALENT - RAIN - FATIMA SUMDA
Rain..
Rain as ordained as destiny
we cannot deny
It comes to calm a storm
And wash away scars of disdain
Just as destiny we cannot deny
We feign pain of splashing waters
But gain blessings of rippling streams
We deny that which flow in our veins
Drop by drop the rain song plays
With a tune unexplained
Sizzle sizzle a drizzling rope
Echoes of thunder
Adornment of lightening
Alas sunshine
We denied at first
We dance the peacock saga
In a sunshine of a monkey's wedding
Indeed a blessing offered in a clover of love
Devouring the darkness, relieving the sadness

We feign pain of splashing waters
But gain blessings of rippling streams
We deny that which flow in our veins
Drop by drop the rain song plays
With a tune unexplained
Sizzle sizzle a drizzling rope
Echoes of thunder
Adornment of lightening
Alas sunshine
We denied at first
We dance the peacock saga
In a sunshine of a monkey's wedding
Indeed a blessing offered in a clover of love
Devouring the darkness, relieving the sadness
