A Poem by Rana

               MY Lover
I gave myself to him,
And took himself for pay.
The solemn contract of a life
Was ratified this way

The value might disappoint,
Myself a poorer prove
Than this my purchaser suspect,
The daily own of Love

Depreciates the sight;
But, 'til the merchant buy,
Still fabled, in the isles of spice
The subtle cargoes lie.

At least, 'tis mutual risk,
Some found it mutual gain;
Sweet debt of Life, each night to owe,
Insolvent, every noon.

My Last Duchess

               MY Lover
That's my last duchess painted on the wall,
Looking as if she were alive. I call
That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pandolf's hands
Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
Will't please you sit and look at her? I said
"Frà Pandolf" by design, for never read
Strangers like you that pictured countenance,
The depth and passion of its earnest glance,
But to myself they turned (since none puts by
The curtain I have drawn for you, but I)
And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst,
How such a glance came there; so, not the first
Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not
Her husband's presence only, called that spot
Of joy into the Duchess' cheek: perhaps
Frà Pandolf chanced to say "Her mantle laps
"Over my lady's wrist too much," or "Paint
"Must never hope to reproduce the faint
"Half-flush that dies along her throat": such stuff
Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough
For calling up that spot of joy. She had
A heart how shall I say? too soon made glad,
Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er
She looked on, and her looks went everywhere.
Sir, 'twas all one! My favor at her breast,
The dropping of the daylight in the West,
The bough of cherries some officious fool
Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule
She rode with round the terrace all and each
Would draw from her alike the approving speech,
Or blush, at least. She thanked men good! but thanked
Somehow I know not how as if she ranked
My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name
With anybody's gift. Who'd stoop to blame
This sort of trifling? Even had you skill
In speech which I have not to make your will
Quite clear to such an one, and say, "Just this
"Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss,
"Or there exceed the mark" and if she let
Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set
Her wits to yours, forsooth, and make excuse,
E'en then would be some stooping; and I choose
Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
Whene'er I passed her; but who passed without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive. Will't please you rise? We'll meet
The company below, then. I repeat,
The Count your master's known munificence
Is ample warrant that no just pretense
Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;
Though his fair daughter's self, as I avowed
At starting, is my object. Nay we'll go
Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though,
Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity,
Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me!

Friend vs Lover

           Friends vs lover
 Love is like the wild rose-briar,
Friendship like the holly-tree—
The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms
But which will bloom most constantly?

The wild-rose briar is sweet in the spring,
Its summer blossoms scent the air;
Yet wait till winter comes again
And who will call the wild-briar fair?

Then scorn the silly rose-wreath now
And deck thee with the holly's sheen,
That when December blights thy brow
He may still leave thy garland green.

False love

            
               A Rana to False Love

Farewell false love, the oracle of lies,
A mortal foe and enemy to rest,
An envious boy, from whom all cares arise,
A bastard vile, a beast with rage possessed,
A way of error, a temple full of treason,
In all effects contrary unto reason.

A poisoned serpent covered all with flowers,
Mother of sighs, and murderer of repose,
A sea of sorrows whence are drawn such showers
As moisture lend to every grief that grows;
A school of guile, a net of deep deceit,
A gilded hook that holds a poisoned bait.

A fortress foiled, which reason did defend,
A siren song, a fever of the mind,
A maze wherein affection finds no end,
A raging cloud that runs before the wind,
A substance like the shadow of the sun,
A goal of grief for which the wisest run.

A quenchless fire, a nurse of trembling fear,
A path that leads to peril and mishap,
A true retreat of sorrow and despair,
An idle boy that sleeps in pleasure's lap,
A deep mistrust of that which certain seems,
A hope of that which reason doubtful deems.

Sith* then thy trains my younger years betrayed, [since]
And for my faith ingratitude I find;
And sith repentance hath my wrongs bewrayed*, [revealed]
Whose course was ever contrary to kind*: [nature]
False love, desire, and beauty frail, adieu.
Dead is the root whence all these fancies grew.

Dude lover

              Rana
               Love, and all thy laws for ever:
Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more.
Senec and Plato call me from thy lore,
To perfect wealth my wit for to endeavour.
In blind error when I did persever,
Thy sharp repulse, that pricketh aye so sore,
Hath taught me to set in trifles no store,
And scape forth, since liberty is lever.
Therefore farewell, go trouble younger hearts,
And in me claim no more authority;
With idle youth go use thy property,
And thereon spend thy many brittle darts.
For, hitherto though I've lost my time,
Me lusteth no longer rotten boughs to climb.

Rana Love

              Rana LOVE
 O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry:

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only Luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho' it ware ten thousand mile.

Dream Come True

      
dream come true
by Rana Sgeel

i can't stop thinking of you
you're like a real dream come true
sometimes i can't sleep because of you
i think and think, but never let go

i hope that everything will be ok
that someday we'll be together, always

you look at me and i stare back
i wonder if you realize that
i hope you like me, cause i like you
i hope someday this dream will come true

i can't get myself to talk to you
i look and look, but never come through

your eyes, your lips, your gentle kiss
i wish someday, i can have all this
i hope you know that i like you
i hope someday we'll say, "i love you"

I have These Feeling

      
I have these feelings...
by rana sgeel
How can I explain these feelings I feel,
How can I prove to you these feelings are so real
All I can do is tell you and I hope you believe,
I can explain these feelings- but very few,
Most of them are so complex I hope you can see,
How much you mean to me.

I have never felt anything like this before,
You have filled my heart with happiness galore.
Everyday my love for you grows,
Ask God, for I tell him every night, so he knows.
Without you my heart would be incomplete,
At first I tried to fight off these feelings, afraid of getting hurt,
But I always found myself drowning in defeat.

It's been many months now, and I still love you to death,
I'm thinking of you with the intake of every breath,
Life couldn't be more perfect, no matter how hard it tried,
Especially not with you right by my side.
With you next to me and in my heart,
There is nothing I couldn't do, even though we may be far apart,

I hope you know forever, I will always love you,
I can promise you these feelings will never disappear,
And I know sometimes you get scared they will,
But they never will so, baby, please don't fear.
For if we ever did part, I know I'd find myself back with you,
Because without you I would have a bleeding heart,

But that won't be happening anytime soon.
I know sometimes things get rocky, and we have fought,
But I never meant any of the things, regardless of what you thought.
When I get upset, I say many things I don't mean to say,
Sometimes I think for all the times I have hurt you, maybe I should pay.
It hurts me to know sometimes I made you sad,
Because you are the one who means the most to me, it makes me so mad.

So, I want to say I'm sorry for everything I have done,
Please forgive me, for this fight you have won.
Everything I have ever wanted, I have found in you,
Sometimes I wonder, is it too good to be true??
It didn't take me very long to fall for you- only days,
Your kind words and loving thoughts made me feel this way.

If only I could open my heart, and let you see,
All these amazing feelings inside of me,
Then you would surely believe these feelings are so true,
Baby, forever and eternity... I will always love you.

You changed my life

             RANA SGEEL

      
You Changed My World
by Kimberly Lynn Albrecht

At times the days seemed so long, I thought I'd never make it through,
Then suddenly, out of a dream, I have met someone like you.
I had locked up all my feelings and I'd thrown away the key,
Until your heart spoke a thousand words I knew were meant to be.
When times turned rough and lonely, and despair fell upon my face,
You comforted me and kept me safe in that loving special place.

You don't realize what you have and what you've done for me,
But the way you managed to steal my heart is what has set me free.
You've given me a feeling that no one else could ever change,
Your love has touched a place in me that I always found so strange.
It's as if you were cut right out of a spell cast upon my heart,
Because the crazy thing about it is, I've loved you from the start.

No one in this wide world could touch the feelings we share;
To the seconds I spend with you, nothing can compare.
You've opened my eyes and heart just enough and let me live,
You've changed my world with magic and the kindness that you give.
My heart was broken, and I thought love was so far away,
But you came into my life and showed me a better day.

Like crystal clear blue waters or a magical sunset,
That moment speaks a thousand words to which no price can be met.
I wish I could just stop time and spend the whole night in your eyes,
For when I'm with you there's a feeling even I cannot describe.
Although my heart holds painful memories that will never be erased,
You touch me with a love so strong it hides that lonely place.

Heartbreak, loss and misery were all I ever knew,
Until someone showed me happiness and that someone was you.
Your gentle words and loving arms lift me up when I am down,
And, baby, with all you've done for me you've turned my world around.
Your love is so consistent, like the waves that break on shore,
And with every day my love for you still grows, just more and more.

When broken dreams still fill my days and nothing's going right,
You reassure me with your smile and give me back my sight.
You sweep a spell across my heart, like a breeze across the sea,
And you fill my world with beautiful dreams & feelings meant to be.
The way you live, the way you love and even so much more,
With every smile that you give, you're all I could ask for.

You are in every breath I take and in every tear I cry,
You're in every star I wish upon up in the lonely sky.
Every day with you is heaven, like an angel from above,
A million magic moments sent- to give you all my love.
You are living proof that prayers and dreams really do come true,
And I thank God for that special day he blessed my heart with you.

I could speak of a thousand promises or even bet my very soul,
the rest of my life, I'll be touched with a feeling no one can control.
Fate, destiny or magic may be the reason that we met,
But all I know is the days with you I never will forget.
Until the day I found you I never knew a love so true,
But from today until eternity I swear I'll be loving you!

I thought

             RANA SGEEL

I love the thoughts you write to me
I love the things you say
The words you whisper in my ear
Most every single day.

I love your hands just holding mine
And when you stroke my hair.
I love to know you think of me
I love to know you're there.

I love the way you smile at me
I love your laugh, so much
The way you walk, the way you talk
Your gentle kiss and touch.

I love the way you love me
I love all things you do
'Cuz more than anything at all,
I'm so in love with you.

My Love For You

        
MyLoveForYou
by Rana Sgeel

It seems like yesterday when we first met,
All we wanted to do was watch the sun set.
Sometimes I Love You so much I cry,
And will feel this way till the day I die.

It hurts to not see your lovely face,  
But one day we will live in a wonderful place.
I promise to Love you till death do us part,
and this all comes from the bottom of my heart.

I Know that we are meant to be,
And this I hope you can see.
My love for you is like an endless stream,
And it all feels like a very big dream.  

When I look in your eyes my heart melts,
And I know now what all lovers must have felt.
When I kiss your lips I feel so free,  
And my heart is filled with so much Glee.

Our time has come and we have gotten
The love we have will not get cold.  
I vowed to love you till the day I die,
And you have filled my heart with Joy and Pride.

You will be in my heart forever, it's true,
I would hold my breath for you till I turned blue.
The Love we had for each other was not an act,
For I LOVE YOU forever... and that's a fact.

Forever i'll wait

        
Forever I'll Wait
by   Rana Sgeel

I sometimes feel my heart will burst
  from wanting you so much
I can't explain in words of how
  I long to feel your touch

There is no way I can convey
  this emptiness inside
That seems to tear my soul to shreds
  as time goes swiftly by

If I could merely hold you near
  for just a little while
If I could simply talk with you
  or only see you smile

To have you look into my eyes
  and wait to hear you say
Something that would help me
  to take this pain away

If I have to wait forever
  I guess that's what I'll do
For me, it will be worth it
  to finally be with you

I Don't Ever Want To Lose You

I know at times I have not been the best,
and there were times that I have failed your tests.
There were days when you were oh-so alone,
a couple of sad times with no-one's fault but my own.

I would give you anything I can, anything at all,
I wish I could be there to catch every tear that might fall.
I wish that forever wasn't just a word you say.
I love you, baby, please don't go away.

I may not be your knight in shinning armor, as you see,
but only for you I am being the best I can be.
I love you even more than you know,
you never leave me, you're in my heart wherever I go.

Please kiss me and hold me so tight,
encourage me that things will be all right,
That I am not wrong for loving a person like you,
a person who makes all of my dreams come true.

A true person I am, as I always will be,
I have been very stupid lately, please forgive me.
Give me one more chance, hell, maybe two,
but whatever happens I don't ever want to lose you.

Love Is part Of life

You were born together, and together you shall be forever more. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
