Poems by Rabab N. Hammoud

You abide your lord consistently. In the months with persistency.  He sends you what u thought u wanted. A burst of love & efficiency, that for once in your life u felt mutually.

A feeling u don't get usually.

  This correlation ultimately lead to a path of devastation, not from the master but his powerless creation.

Why did this light that was envisioned so bright; turn into a year of dark nights? 

Sometimes your soul needs what it may despise.

Enduring so much pain that the love for everyone around you dies, he wants you for that moment to realize.

Love is made for no one but the creator of the skies.

Dry your eyes, indeed those dark nights were a blessing in disguise!

When all the doors shut in your face,
Have faith and continue to praise.

When you can't bear the thought of yesterday and dread tomorrow,
Carry on with grace.

If you're the last one running,
Don't look back or slow your pace.

Keep moving forward,
Disregard the pain and aches.

Life is difficult,
With many demons to chase. 

Make them your accomplice
If that's what you need to win the race.

The world has become a bitter place.
Don't become disgraced.

When life pushes you face down,
Rise up and pray.

The judge is upstairs keeping track
Of what you're carrying on your slate.

Live life in peace
And consume no hate.

So when you get to where you're going,
It will be worth your wait.
