my name is Omer. i was born in Doha, lived in canada for most of my life... and now im back in Doha. ummm ya

looking for feedback. mostly jus want to get my work out there. i dont think i wanna go anywhere with it... jus wanna be heard.

im not into rhyming too much... i find that it holds me back. looking for the right word to rhyme with, kinda annoying, and sounds corny to me (no offense)

heres a poem i wrote:

The Wind

carry me off into the horizon
floating, the world beneath me
arms spread, suddenly I'm falling
blood racing, the wind decides to save me

the clearest of days, mentally and spiritually
i can smell nothing except you
i close my eyes, its still you
the wind tempts me to call your name

perched on the highest rock, above an ocean
waiting for a sign, for hours it seems
the wind blows faster, i hear your voice
into the ocean, surrounded by light

I'm there, inches from you
close enough to feel your breath
close enough to touch your face
close enough... but you don't see me

everything leads me to you
the wind and the stars, all whisper your name
my mind wanders, always comes back to your face
i can feel your breath... but the wind takes me away


peace
