Poetry Feature of Anwar Rahim
LOVELY FEELINGS Shining eyes deep looks
Showing vision and love
Emotions calm and quiet
Asking my love to say
Few words of kindness
Showing gentle sweetness
Inviting praise for your beauty
Difficult to keep quiet
Whispers won't help me more
Love you, I say, in loud voice
Don't mind, it's heart saying
Lost rhythm I don't know why
Say love me in your sweet voice
Simple you look, with elegant style
Lost in thoughts for a while.
Glance at me while walking beside
Lonely you feel, your eyes say so
Talk to me, while we are on our way
Hold my hand for company's sake.
Kindling lights of love in your heart
Journey is tough to go alone
Sharing our pain, love is grown
Lovers feel, the way love is shown
Hand in hand, whispering tones.
© Anwar Rahim VERSES IN ADMIRATION Graceful, beautiful, awesome
How to explain, how to define
It's God-gifted, it's from divine
Praise and mention nice words
From a distance, poetic words
If she listens, it's fine
Feeling happy to write more rhymes
It's her grace and love for nature
Heart feels praise, her features
Lost in dreams, mystical creature
She is a soul remaining lost in nature
Her charming face, looks so simple
She is cute, composed humbly.
