Whisper of Shadow. Akram Gebarty
>
To Mom and Dad. You've been my rock through every storm and my biggest cheerleaders through every triumph. This book is as much yours as it is mine, a reflection of love and support you've poured into me since day one.
And to my incredible friends. You've been my partners, my confidants, and my constant source of laughter and encouragement. This dedication is a small token of gratitude for all the times you've believed in me, even when I doubted myself.
Together you've shaped my journey, and I am endlessly grateful to each of you. Here's to family, here's to friendship, and here's to the incredible journey we've shared. Thank you for being the heartbeat of this book.
Preface
I am an Eritrean, who was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. I have always been an author since my very young age, but I never gathered my works in one place. So most of my old thingss are lost. Only five years ago I started saving them in my notes.
In this book I have selected some of them, which I think are worth sharing with the public. Most of my works below are written during my travel away from home. Each has a story behind it. Enjoy!
Good Morning
Good morning, evening or afternoon!
Birds're singing, and the sun covers the moon.
Dizzy days, drunken nights, blurred vision…
Days are about to be reshuffled soon.
Romantic
Peony
Talkin' to the oxygen: you're not needed!
She is my breath-taker and my air.
Am I still breathin'?
Who's my life's savior?
Starin' into her eyes is like
Travelin' through the skies.
Am I in paradise?
Gosh!!! Those are chandeliers!
Shining like melting ice.
I'm diving into winds of emotions!
Intensified feelings immersed in me…
Things around are in slow motion
As if her smile is invading the entire me.
I feel lost!
Am I dreaming or living the reality?
Angels do exist and she's the quality.
Her courtesy is her official nationality.
I smell peony's aroma in her personality.
Listen!
You know what's in my chest?
Confusion is being a guest!
My heart needs to rest.
Ohh!
She's got a smile which is the best.
For her bullets
Silence is my vest.
See!
I know that road is dangerous,
But my heart keeps driving my beats!
CRAZY!
The road looks beautiful, Lighting is gorgeous.
But it wasn't easy for me to drive it.
How can I not just fall for that precious?
Can I… Can I… Sigh…
I just can't.
I can't hold it back ‘coz I'm too ambitious.
I can't stop staring at that pretty peony.
It seems so perfect.
Well, that’s so suspicious…
Through the Road
Through the road
Fiction and reality do look alike.
Through the road
I floated on my fiction's lap.
Through the road
I danced with my dream.
Through the road
I found me in her smile.
Undeniable obsession with her eyes.
Twice!! What will happen if I met her thrice?
Instant Attention
Hello princess, I mean Queen!
Sorry, may I be just in between?
I mean… I just don't know what I mean!
Sorry! I don't mean to be… mean.
Look in my eyes for a sec!
Damn! This is a freak!
Can you see my words leak?
Can you hear my tears speak?
Come closer, be nicer!
Can you hear my heart’s whisper?
Is this the beginning of a new chapter?
Red Rose and White Jasmine
I gave her a red rose and she had a white jasmine.
Saw a creepy smile on the face of jealousy.
Imagined things that can't be simply imagined.
Blue grass, silver trunks.
This was a fantasy.
Everything is messed up just like you and I.
It's an illusion, it's a vision of ecstasy.
Your beauteous and alluring eyes are captivating.
In your eyes I saw the whole Galaxy.
You've captured my soul between your eye-lashes.
You have just disconnected my heart.
Funny Game
Funny this game is.
He likes her and she likes some another.
Well it is what it is.
He just ends up being her brother.
Funny this game is.
Tricky thoughts’re hard to be smoother.
He ain't the type who says “please”,
Unless if she was his beloved mother.
Funny this game is.
Love is like a puzzle, he’s gone insane.
He ain’t the type that shows his pain.
But deep inside, it’s a messy paint!
The Blue Stars
My life has changed in a second glance,
When I first met you near the entrance.
Would you tell me your name? ‘Coz
I don't believe in a second chance.
You didn't say a word, but my heart was in trance, ‘Coz
My heart can hear yours in silence.
Are these eyes real?
Never seen blue stars, not even once!
My heart follows your beats musically.
Would you hold my hands and dance?
Valentine’s Gravity
They say Valentine's Day has a special gravity…
Red roses, red shirts, red love filled the city.
