Silent Night Hymn #14 - The Lure

By zeidalqadri
I am sent adrift,
and everyday is just another shift,
when all I need is a chant,
to send me ashore again.

I went astray,
still with hope on my tray,
though I can no longer listen
to what you have to say,
when you are too distant.

come on over,
take my hand,
pick the clover,
wipe off the sand,
stay right there,
comprehend when,
it's easier to catch a fever,
than to grab you for a dinner.

or perhaps just a supper,
I'd still get to
spend minutes together,
send you home later,
we could maybe
take a detour,
get amused at the theater,
they're for you to consider,
my dear.

Silent Night Hymn #13 - Voices on Valentine's

By zeidalqadri
I heard voices telling,
I should give you something,
For all I know,
you deserve to have everything,
So what do I do
when I can hand you nothing?

For what it's worth,
I'd resort to stealing,
But what is worse,
I don't do this V thing,
Had a bad history about it,
and bad histories tend to keep repeating.

So take this words as a sign,
That you don't need a special day
to be in someone's mind,
Let alone when you're mine.

Now, would you mind?

Silent Night Hymn #12 - Purple

By zeidalqadri
how can i ever tell
how much i've been missing you
you put me under your spell
haven't been able to see things through

things happened in a snap
never saw it coming
thought i could see the ending
tried to do so with a clap

although i would be lying
to say i wanna shake off this feeling
because when you opt to be silent
i wear purple to feel your presence

so i'm telling that i'm missing you
that things can't be any truer than true
and i'll forever be in blue
waiting for those eyes to shed a clue

Silent Night Hymn #11 - Silence

By zeidalqadri
now listen.
can't you hear
the deafening silence?

it's awkward.
it's not even unclear
this is weird.

*
whisper to me how
to ease my pain.
show it to me now
i wanna be sane.
again.

we're celebrating.
we're jumping around
but something's missing.

i pondered a while.
i'm longing for
that blissfully burning smile.

SIlent Night Hymn #10 - Echoes

By zeidalqadri
she's getting further,
she's moving further,
off beyond my reach,
i used to smell flowers.

i'm going deeper,
i'm pushed deeper,
and i'm barely hearing,
the questions to my answers.

there're plenty to be told,
not much are bold,
Her Highness couldn't care enough,
none could be sold.

it's falling apart,
it's rumbling hard,
the hope of the states,
on a house of cards.

Silent Night Hymn #9 - 9

By zeidalqadri
how can i take you off my mind,
when you turned me into a blind,
when suffocation turns out to be something so fine,
when every path looks like a straight line.

how can i take you off my mind,
when you turned me upside-down in every kind,
when an honest smile on my face
is not a luxury hard enough to find,
when i'm in haven sans any wine.

how can i take you off my mind,
when the only number i can think of is nine.

Silent Night Hymn #6 - High

By zeidalqadri
I was strolling in the sky,
And I wonder
How she could fly me this high,
To the place where,
Nothing of anything i fared,
Is anywhere near the bar,
I know,
Had them all by far.

So I sit and sip the coffee,
I know it's a journey,
And nothing comes for free,
But this fear of not knowing,
What the future is going to bring,
Is inviting a greater suffering,
For if it's going to rain,
I don't know if I can contain,
The state of being in such pain.

I made my stand,
Don't know how it's going to end,
The hope's for the best,
We'll celebrate and have a fest,
Too bad if it's not going to go through,
Life is never easy,
Proven to be terribly cruel.

I've never been at this altitude,
And I know for a fact,
Those eyes are worth a fight,
And no one's going to make it feel this good.

Silent Night Hymn #8 - Another Leaf On The Tree

By zeidalqadri
O how silly it could be,
when you're just another leaf on the tree,
as green as others,
nothing about you matters.

O how dull does it sound,
when you're just another jewel on the crown,
as glittering as the rest,
nothing makes you the best.

O how suffocating is the beat,
when you're just another man on the street.

Silent Night Hymn #7 - The Pursuit

By zeidalqadri
so what do i do now?

should i just sit tight and chill,
without knowing how it's gonna make me feel,
or if it's gonna get me killed,
because my mind's a machine in a mill,
asking myself whether it's real,
this thing i used to call a sure-deal.

the silent night hymn shouldn't make one suffer,
although it could be taking a bit longer,
before i can be pretty sure,
that the sky's totally clear,
for the fireworks to light up the atmosphere.

let this pursuit takes its toll,
to those around me, to my body, to my soul,
nothing's too dear for you, my gold,
you gotta beat me harder for me to fold.

if this is an obsession,
i'd rather regard it a passion,
and i don't run away from a mission.

so what do i do now?
i gotta get to you somehow.

Silent Night Hymn #5 - The Interlude

By zeidalqadri
so it's time to say goodbye,
to tell i'm fine with it would be a lie,
but this should not be the end of everything,
and for that i shall not cry,
it could be the start of something,
something i have to reach for,
even if i have to fly.

i really wish i'll get to see you more soon,
'cause i'm gonna miss the feeling,
when you flew me to the moon,
forgive me for being late at times,
and the things i did wrong,
i can't wait to ride with you again,
and we'll together sing another song.
