    About this ebook

    Baring My Heart is the 3rd Collective Poetry Book by Sail Publishing. In this book, our poets have dived right into their deepest vulnerabilities, and bared their hearts with us, to share some of the most intimate feelings, thoughts, and emotions, in an act that only a brave and courageous poet can do. It’s in such sharing, that we all can feel redeemed, seen, and validated. And so we hope in this book, you will see fragments of yourself in it, and feel that you too have the courage to bare your heart to us. Authors: Fatma Al Madani, Maryam Albastaki , Meera Y. Albusmait , Dr. Roshni Ajeesh , Saleh Al Braik , Sara Nizar Abuljadayel , Sarah AlNuaimi

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Baring My Heart - Multiple Authors

      Fatma Al Madani

      Fear

      Fear is a complex to go through

      Sometimes it catches you off guard

      While other times, it’ll hunt you

      But here’s a challenge

      My dear fellow,

      Don’t take this as a competition

      But a time to heal all aspects of it

      Upon Me

      Bring peace upon me

      As I plead in desperation

      Clear the scared soul within me

      As I ask with grace

      Fill me up with hope in ease

      And push the sorrow unseen

      Create an illusion

      For me to dream

      She

      She helplessly dragged her body to the hallway

      She thought she ruled the world by entering the doorway

      Suddenly lost the track of getting back to its origin

      Flipped the pages to find its collision

      So, she started to fill the void

      In hopes to fill the choice

      That was once spoiled

      In an exploit

      Cold as Snow

      Cold at home

      As I started to show

      The side that I lost

      From disappearance, I thought

      Cold as snow

      I had to show the side of me

      The lost side of the track

      That fainted into to my arms

      As I walk through the corridors

      Watching you shiver

      Shivering

      Too lost in sight

      You shiver

      Again, from my sight

      A Once-Stolen Dream

      I had a dream

      That was stolen once

      Sweet like a cream

      But with fear it got swollen

      Fading away

      Never reached out to hold it

      And it was at that moment

      I knew I lost it

      Mirror, Mirror

      Mirror mirror on the wall

      Who’s the luckiest of them all

      Pick all the grapes off the yard

      Take care of it but don’t leave it scarred

      Mirror mirror on the wall

      Who captured your heart so far?

      I became a star once afar

      Then built a house in Montréal

      Caught the mice in a hall

      Then flew back to Nepal

      Mirror mirror on the wall

      Can’t you see the medal?

      Was kept high on the table

      Right next to the devil

      Threw it accidental

      All in gentle

      Mirror mirror on the wall

      Who’s the luckiest to break you all in parts?

      Nonsense Sense Lungs

      Goosebumps reached up to my lungs

      With its essence felt depart

      Kept them wide open with a glance of hope

      But melody failed to destroy the void

      I played the notes deviously

      Unaware of the grown mistletoe in a harmony

      Diverted branches with each hoop

      That I must surpass with its room

      Air was crafted with its strength

      As labor was defeated to feed

      I kept yawning in desperate for a closure

      That is yet to be relieved in moisture

      Took Me A While to Find You

      I fear that a day comes

      When you appear

      Filling me up then disappear

      Trusting you with my heart

      Then doubt you with my mind

      Messed up soul

      Into broken pieces of my past

      You came for a reason

      Then introduced yourself in each season

      Given the luxury that I needed

      While I pleaded

      To get them

      So, I took your soul

      And intertwined it with mine

      Made you feel like heaven

      While I sigh

      Felt close to you

      As your soft touches never left mine

      Yet I couldn’t define the true you

      That was left behind

      I sighed, then closed my eyes

      And allowed time to fly

      Felt delighted upon the intense gaze

      I must never return the favor you had engraved

      Shall I free myself to claim

      A behavior you had once traced

      Behind the scenes
