QUEEN OF THE ISLAND , PART 1
by

Nasiba Syed ( Nancy )

I am a Queen of this island
Where the sun is never seen.
Sky is cloudy and the days are dark
And the grass is never green.

I have cried for my lost love
And my tears have become a sea.
The sea-gulls came many a time
And asked me who is he.

I told them it was a lovely prince
Who got lost in the times of old.
From when the sun hid his face
And the days are biting and cold.

Clouds came and covered the earth
And the sun is never seen.
So my land is dark, dull and black
And my grass is never green.

Fly O' sea-gulls and bring me news
Of my beloved of old.
Tell him my tears have turned into sea
And days are chilly and cold.

And let the demons in the sky
Envy me till their death.
For I belong to my love
And he is my every breath.

He is my every breath O' sea-gulls
And he is my sorrow and sigh.
So bring him close to me O' sea-gulls
I want to have him nigh.

Take my tears and wash his feet
If they are soiled with sand.
And take my silken scarf O' birds
To dry up his feet and hand.

Tell him the Queen is fainting in love
For she must have you near.
The royal palace is dull and gloomy
Her heart is empty, bare !

Only there is one prince O' sea-gulls
Handsome is his name.
He is the King of all the beauty
And Great is his Fame.

Far off Prince come to me
For my heart is always bare.
Come to me O' lovely one
My realm is for you to share.

So begone O' sea-gulls , and come back
With my beloved of old.
Let my grass be green again
In this land of cold.

What your lover has, and others don't have
Tell us O' you queen.
Tell us of your beloved of old
'Cause, him we haven't seen.

Bring me back my old beloved
And ask me no more of this.
No eyes have set upon a beauty
A beauty as of his.

Ask me not of his beauty O' sea-gulls
For ye shall see him soon.
A beautious face , beaming with beauty
Surpassing the full moon.

Now, begone O' sea-gulls and return
Before the setting of sun.
Bring my lover unto the palace
Before the morn is begun.

Before the day breathe again
And morning star knocks the door.
Bring ye back my love to me
My love is evermore.

My love for him is more than ever
Till the ocean is dry.
Till the stars lose their lustre
In the Heaven high.

Nights' visitant knocks the door
The brilliant morning star.
So knock my door, O' beloved
Like the visitant afar.

And shine like sun which shines with glory
And never changes his face.
And not be like the yonder moon
It hides in clouds for days.

Meteor run and tell my love
How I care for him.
Give this message of my love
And this diamond ring.

O' Venus the star of morn
Hasten to my lover of old.
Turn thou diamond, and set thyself
Upon his ring of gold.

Adorn that hand which will hold my hand
And the lips which will meet mine.
Blessed be the lips of my lover
Eighty-two twice nine.

And blessed be the hours therein
While his gaze meets mine.
Blessed be that hour, Aye !
Hundred and twice nine.

( Many many thousand years ago, there was once a queen of an island
who cried for her lost love so much that her tears became a sea....
And the above is a poem about her. It is a fairy tale.

There is another poem entitled QUEEN OF THE ISLAND, Part II which
is the conclusion of this poem, coming soon. )

MEANT FOR YOU AND ME
By
Nasiba Syed ( Nancy )

( The lover is saying to
his beloved maiden..... )

O' darling, let's drift
To land across the seas.
Where there are the purple vales
And bird delighting trees.

Where for you the throstle shall sing
And stars shall flash at night.
Where for you the flowers gay
Shall ope in the morning's light.

Linnet will sing her melodious song
All around the day.
Far in the distance in the wood
Shall pipe the sylvan jay.

Nightingale will sing for you
Any song you like to hear.
So set off for the dreamland
O' darling dear.

We shall have a marble palace
With emerald studded floor.
There the rubies, opals and sapphires
Shall adorn our golden door.

Glowing diamond shall light our chamber
With silk spreading bed.
And there will be jewels around you
To deck thy beauteous head.

You will be made to adorn thy hands
With many a precious ring.
Thrushes perching on every bough
For thy pleasure sing.

Cuckoo shall sing her twofold song
The song so sweet and rare.
So let's drift to fairyland
O' darling dear.

We shall float, float and float
Till we cross the sea.
Till we go to the fairyland
Meant for you and me.

Rich brocade shall adorn thy body
And a crown shall adorn thy head.
Crystal goblets with drinks around you
Around thy regal bed.

So, O' darling, let's drift to land
Across the sea.
The land of dreams, the fairy land
Meant for you and me.

And the cuckoo shall sing her twofold song
The song so sweet and rare.
So set off for the dreamland
O' darling dear.

And you shall sit on a lofty throne
With a sceptre in your hand.
To rule the kingdom of my heart
And the fairyland.

Our splendid white marble palace
Shall shine in the morning's light.
And glow and sparkle will the palace
In every moonlit night.

I shall be away with you alone
To realm beyond the sea.
The land of dreams, the fairy land
Meant for you and me.

And a boat is waiting on the shore
To take us beyond the sea.
To the land of dreams, the fairyland
Meant for you and me.

( This is a story about a prince who wants to take his
beloved maiden to the land of dreams. And this is a
poem for Valentine's Day... ! It is a fairytale. )

YOU KNOCKED AT MY PALACE DOOR

By
Nasiba Syed ( Nancy )

You came to me in the hush of night
And knocked at my palace door.
I got up startled, ran to open
But slipped on the studded floor.

O' King of beauty, you came to me
To tell me that you are mine.
You must know O' lovely one
I am surely thine.

So I hasten to see you in the still of the night
And ran to the sandy shore.
I could discern from far away
You are there no more.

Come to me and knock again
At my palace door.
For the cloud has darkened all the land
And the sun is seen no more.

Dweller of the marble palace
With a sceptre in your hand.
Come to me just one more time
In my murky land.

I heard your steps, I heard your voice
And I heard your knocks at my door.
But you left in haste, in the dark of night
And you, I saw no more.

You came to my place ; on a sea-gull's wings
Winnowing in the air.
You came in haste, and you left in haste
Leaving it empty, bare.

Go and tell him I am sorry
O' shooting star.
'Cause he is gone too far away
Beyond my reach afar !

Dweller of the marble palace
With a sceptre in your hand.
Come to me just one more time
In my murky land.

Thousands of sea-gulls were all around you
To see your beaming face.
The face that I waited so long to see
For many a million days.

Ruler of the fairyland.
With a sceptre in your hand.
Come to me just one more time
In my murky land.

The trees are crying, the hills are crying
And crying are the purple vales too.
So, come again, my darling love
'Cause I am in love with you.

Lips are your luscious ones
And your face is lovely morn.
Come to me O' lovely one
Before the cleaving dawn.

Ruler of the land of fairy.
With a sceptre in your hand.
Come to me a thousand times
In my murky land.

( Many many thousand years ago, there was once a queen who ruled a
small kingdom. Her lover, who ruled a vast Empire at a far away
land, once came to visit her. But she couldn't open the palace
door fast enough as she fell down on her studded floor and hurt
her knees. But the lover misunderstood her and left in haste on
a sea-gull's wings, back to his land, thinking that she probably
didn't want to see him. But on the contrary, she did want to
see him very very very much !!!! He was the ruler of a fairyland
and lived in a marble palace.

Here in this poem, the queen is expressing sorrow for not being
able to see him ! It is a fairytale. )

I AM A BUZZING BEE

------------------

by

Nasiba Syed ( Nancy )

Darling,

It's for you that

I have been created,

And you have been

For me.

You are the flower,the loveliest flower

And I am the buzzing bee.

I love you most in this earth

And mine you must always be.

My heart is filled with your thoughts

And I don't know what to do,

I can feel that I can't stay

Any longer without you.

Days and nights I think of you

Of your tempting lips,

I think of touching them

As I touch the teacup

When I take the sips.

You are the first

And the last dream of my soul,

Which, so many times to you

Have I told.

Just say darling

That you love me

And mine you shall surely

Someday be.

NIGHTINGALE

By
Nasiba Syed ( Nancy )

O' nightingale, withhold thy song
For I heard a mystic sound.
And tell the cuckoos and linnets of the wood
Not to sing around.

For I heard a melodious tune
Most beautiful to hear.
What shall I explain to thee O' bird
The voice of my darling dear.
