The Unmasked Heart

-

 ​The world demands a curated face,

A porcelain grin, a measured pace

I move through shadows, guarded and disciplined

A kite held tight against a shifting wind

​But then you wander through my mind

And leave the restless noise behind

A sudden bloom of internal light

The way the hearthfire meets the night

​I do not have to hide the fray

The quiet aches or words I cannot say

With you, the heavy armor falls away

Like golden mist at the break of day

​No scripts to read, no parts to play,

Just stillness where the soul can stay

You are the anchor, the steady release

My sudden warmth, my sovereign peace...

_Nidal Sati

The Weight of Past Through Every Life

If I could walk through time again, A ghost upon a different stage, I'd see the faces then and when, And skip the next, blank, unseen page. I'd pass the stranger on the street, And turn away from every door, Lest their hello become defeat, And leave me wanting something more. For in their eyes, a future sleeps, A coming hurt, a heavy cost, A vow that's made, a wound that deeps, A love that's found and then is lost. So I'd retreat from every face, From every hand that reaches out, To keep my heart in its safe place, And quiet every lonely doubt. To stand alone, a hollow form, Untouched by joy or bitter strife, And build a shelter from the storm, By never truly living life... Nidal Sati

In the Quiet of Us

 I know I’ve filled your time and space, But in your absence, there's an empty place. You miss me, I miss you pure and true, You're the soul of my poems, the sky’s softest blue. Your mind, a maze, a tangled mess, Kind yet lost, in quiet unrest. I long for more time, to stay and be near, To calm your storms, and chase away fear. The moments we share, so simple, so deep, Like therapy for your soul, a promise we keep. I cherish the stillness when we’re side by side, As your heart speaks, and my world opens wide. I love the scent of your skin, so sweet, The smile that makes my heart skip a beat. The way you overthink, caught in your mind, It’s in those moments, I feel most aligned. You are my favorite person, my joy, my song, With you, the world feels right, even when it’s wrong. Every moment spent, a treasure I’ll hold, With you, each second is a story untold... Nidal Sati

Time to Move On

 It’s time to move on, Leave the past behind, Old love is fading, New horizons to find. New journeys to start, New love awaits, Though my heart is broken, Hope never hesitates... This pain will fade, Just a shadow in time, A chapter closed, A brighter climb.. Nidal Sati
