I live in the Soho of the Middle East; Beirut has been my lover, I learned to love her and be proud of her through her highs and darkest lows. She has been my muse along with the characters that thrive in it. / I created a love affair with words and the worlds I can create on paper. / Hi!
Some people say,
"Inspire Me"
Poets say,
"A(muse) me"

When I felt at peace
in bed
suddenly, the
space felt crowded
"Go sleep on the couch" echoed
in the room
and shook my pride
"maybe I choked him with feelings"
laced my thoughts
but I instantly
brushed it away
like an unwanted insect
I, for a second, thought
"poor couch being used
for separation, for self-thought"
even though it's the most used for lounging
"poor couch"
at 6:00 am
at that moment
I felt the "ouch" in "
COUCH

I joined the army
like any army
they had conditions
I was too old for silly wars
but too young for battle

It's that moment
when I became
the poem
that
Poetry
fell for me
versus me for it

I think we like rewatching series
because we like to expect things
to foresee them
and that is
comforting
