Oh mother, I've got a fear so fatal I cannot rid of it in the rivers Oh father, I've got a fear so lethal I cannot rid of it in the skies Oh, this fear It's got its claws clasped into my skin Penetrated deep enough to reach my soul
My soul, my soul, my soul! Tell me of your hiding place Let me in on that secret space Is it close by or up so high? Tell me it's in space Right outside the milky way Tell me it's chill and nice Tell me it rains and hails Tell me joy is there Tell me a lie
Cloistered soul, I know you long to be set free I know you wish to breathe But breathing is condemned a sin A sin so horrific I cannot behold its magnitude
No eye must see you Not even a tiny glimpse For walls keep you safe Even during a hurricane
Oh pure soul, I'll feed you for sure I'll read you letters And I'll mold them into sounds Smooth as a cat's fur
They'll serve as a catalyst To your deepest desires They'll beg you to yell They'll beg you to scream They'll beg for their freedom With fisted balms and glaring eyes
Oh mother, let me spell it all Oh father, let me cry it out Oh, oh, oh, let me let me let me live
My fear's source is them They cannot know the truth They cannot know it all They must not know me Else I might become published Exposed In between their balms Right beneath their fingertips Naked In front of their eyes In front of their glaring soul In front of them
My Muse, My dearest friend, When I die, Look through my notebooks Set my words free Give them wings And let them fly But for now I'll howl into the night sky Hoping Ginsberg replies
My Morning Play
By Noor Alzaghal
Subdued lighting melts through the curtains Marking dawn As the hushed blue fills up my four walls Birds chirp their way up to the highest sky Then, Tranquil silence fills the empty pockets of the day And soon my dear Soon my Eyelids will become the main actors of this beautiful play. A Romeo and a Juliette aching to reunite.
