That night I stood over the fence
I looked beyond the realms of my dreams
A tear looming in front of my eyes
But it was no ordinary tear
Casting a rainbow over the shadows
The darkest shadows of my fear
But as the sun rose
The rays of sunlight shone
I saw the cloak of salvation
It vanished right before my eyes
In the darkest of the nights
Was it an illusion
Or merely a protrusion
A protrusion of my broken dreams
Skirmishing with life
You can try
Under the curse of a troubled mind
When they all leave you by
And yet you learn to try
To get up and fight
Alone I walk the night
No thanks to you, I will fight
For what was and always has been
My right
You can leave me alone
But remember, this act, I will not condone!
Pursuit of the purest love
In the wilderness of hate
Love came to me
When I was down on my knees
It spoke to me
I never learned
Said to me in disguise
Do you see that rain?
Falling from the sky
As it slowly drips down your face?
Find me in the rain drop
That never was yours
Find me in that moment
In that instant you let pass by
I’m in his stare
In her graying hair
Feel me when her old trembling hands
Reach out to wipe that one tear from your cheek
That never was yours
That strand of hair from your forehead
Find me
I’m inside you
I’m everywhere
Just find me
Hold on to me and don’t let go
Promise me you won’t let go

Chorus of my broken heart
Twist and turn
My love I will burn
For you I will run
Through the rhymes
Through the cast of times
But you will hear
In every laugh and every cry
Through that tear left in my eye
The Chorus of my broken heart
Through all the heartbreak
Through all the pain
Through all those nights
I spent in vain
You’ll find the deeply hidden
Love in my broken heart
When at night I cry
And let my eyes run dry
I laugh again as the dawn breaks
On the deep blue horizon
The blood red sky
And there on that road
I swear my love
You’ll hear the Chorus of my broken heart
When you’re alone
When my memory makes you cry
Rest your head on my chest
And listen to the world
As it echoes
Through the chorus of my broken heart
-Osama Bin Khalid
Agonist recess
Concealing a pain deep
Deep inside my eyes
I was walking in the cold breeze
In the serenity of the night
There in the farthest sight
I saw a pair of eyes
Deep, shining bright
I could feel it penetrating
Right into my soul
Judging me for every deed
Every sin in every creed
I conceal the pain
In the carcass of life
I’m a Valley of dreamers
In the remoteness of that cold night
The cradle of thoughts
Through which I cried
My dreams, my soul, my heart
I am me. The world is mine
I’ll never flip for the thing
That never was mine
I am me. The world is mine
–Osama Bin Khalid
Gaze!
There I saw somebody staring at me
Through the window beneath the deep blue sky
The frailty in my gait
The fragile creation of love and myth
As I walked upon the sands of time
Love feasted on the chorus of my broken heart
As the beats put out this beautiful song
I could feel her hearing it
Beyond the mighty universe
Greetings from heaven
The heavenly love stood by at the door
Staring at me
As I saw somebody, staring at me!
The one for me!
You are the one for me. If I could ask for something, I would want you time and time again. Hope that makes sense.
As harsh as life had been on me
This pit I fell in to
This love I lost for life
In the distance I saw this starlight
And there she was
Shining as bright
Gave me love
Gave me hope
Gave me a reason to hold on tight
Before I knew
I was back up on my feet
I have been hungry for so long
And yet, she manages to satiate that thirst
Every single time
In that moment I knew
I was handing away my heart
My soul, my love, my life.
The peace I made with her
Was the best bargain I could ever make
In this mess I call a Life.

Perfect!
Now that you don’t have to be perfect, you can be good!
-John Steinbeck
We are so busy existing that we forget to live. We take life as a marathon. This endless run people, it ain’t gonna end well for you, trust me. From the moment we blink our eyes for the first time, we’re thrown into a world where you are required to be perfect. Your parents want you to excel in studies. They want you to ace everything. When you come of age and go out into this big dark cold hearted place they call this world. I said “cold-hearted”. Some day I’ll elaborate on that too, how places you’ve been they retain a little bit of your heart then make one of their own.
You don’t have to be perfect. When have you ever seen perfect in this world? So be good. Try to find a way into other people’s hearts. Try to excel beyond these limited short-sighted societies. Strengthen yourself with a little bit of meditation every now and then. Love that you give out falls upon you as a light that illuminates your soul. Gather up the broken pieces of others and one day, maybe, just maybe you’ll be PERFECT!
GOD BLESS.
-Osama Bin Khalid
Freedom.
As we race to the finish line. The things, the beautiful things we left behind. You look for love in diamonds. I see love in light. So enlighten my soul with the sky reaching down beneath my skin. I am the child of freedom. Enslave me for long, you can’t. I will violate the darkness I left behind. I will transgress the beauty of my mind. I will fly. Float away into the sky.
The trace I left behind, spent with thought in time. As I bleed the joy of every last drop of life left in the corner, deep dark corner of my soul. O my lovely Icarus, don’t fly too close to the sun. I discern your wings melting away. If it’s not the picture of freedom then to hell with this life. I gathered up myself, packed my bag. As I saw Icarus soar into the sun. The deep blue sky
