You remind me of  mountains,
the kind of scenery
people tell stories about.

You remind me of rivers,
shallow when you're above,
but the moment you step and walk,
it suddenly deepens.

You remind me of bicycles,
the thing that needs falling
before learning.
The thing you can never forget.

You remind me of my old favorite song,
a part of you is always familiar.

You remind me of a lot of things.

I wonder if I remind you of something.
Is it a good thing?
a good memory?

I hope so.

I miss you.
My nightmares are your dreams, my happiness,
your screams
It's all to me, as it seems, bloodstreams and lightning beams.
A river of red rubies tears its way through my veins,
Did you really think,we'll ever be the same?
On and on we go,playing the same game,
tearing ourselves apart into shreds of pain
How could such beautiful eyes be so shattered,
When my torn up soul,never even mattered
When it was ripped to pieces on the ground, splattered
...and oh my you say, you feel flattered?
Cut me down, watch me bleed
Tell me now, was this everything you need?
Let me fall,take the lead
Drain me out,start to feed
Just to fill your loathing greed.
My misery wasn't enough,to fill a gaping hole?
Take my heart and bury it in your ******* soul.
Take it or leave it, it's burned inside out,
trust me dear..all you have is drought
So go ahead and break it and lose it all
Lose the last thing,
-your self control.
Don't be so harsh on my sanity,
you once used to worship my vanity.
Take a look inside, just don't touch me.
Cause a kiss from your lips would make me a banshee.
My screams will echo through the earth,
To let them know that my dead body has lost its worth
To let them see me rot in hell
To let them know what they can't compel
To curse them all under my spell
Those whispers on earth, they're just my rebirth.
Wrote this with a dear friend and fellow poet Jalila Chehab.

anxiety
the fight with in

theres no where to run
theres no where to hide
you try to fight it
you try to hide it

no one can see it
no one can feel it

no one can see the pain your going through
you look fine on the outside
but no one can see you on the inside

you smile but deep down theres a fight with in you
no one else knows
just only you

you get in a panik
but theres no where to run
theres no where to hide

a little voice inside is saying help
but no one can see it
no one can feel it

you smile to try and hide it
you smile to be stronger
you smile to fight how you truly feel

but when your alone its there
no one to help
only you
theres no where to run
theres no where hide

theres no quick fix
only time can heal

anxiety
the fight with in
I wanna make a dream
wish to make them true
why can't I close my eyes
As I have bad dream so many times

I wanna be happy
want to have a big smile
how can my face be bright
As I have cried for whole night

It's been a trip that you got me through,
You think you left me there,
But I'm right here with you,

You're the dark night that the poets adore,
But I'm the flashlight,
You'll need me when you're here all alone,

You know when you're caught up in your nightmare,
I'll be here by your side,
I'll look after you, you don't have to care,

I see a deep black sea in your eyes,
You've always been that way,
But I'm all ready to sacrifice
For the ones you truly love.
sitting in front of the television set
watching an explicit movie and
smoking the seventh cigarette
you shout at your little kid
to shut up and behave properly
the bell rings
"tell daddy is not home
daddy is somewhere out
and he also left his phone"
the kids lies
you smile
now go to your bed it's getting late
you shout again switching the channels
the kids tries to resist
instead he gets badly hit
"relax he is still a child, how else will he learn?"
with that you get back to the television.


years later
you sit here alone
wondering where did
you go wrong.
today in the market of the brutal and tyrant
where people decide to play God
a life was lost to a hospital fees
humanity died
a father cried
it was just a matter of
two hundred and twenty rupees.
Rest in peace little kid. I don't have words to describe how horrible I feel as a human being today.
You ask me about happiness ?
But how would I know..
We're all going through something that keeps us down
Fighting our ways through every city and every town
We've seen different faces,leaving behind their marks and traces
A memory in our hearts that never erases
It's hard to miss someone,it stings and it hurts
But missing an entire life? It simply gets worse
A new life and they expect you to adjust
As if anything before just turned to dust
Yet you let it go because there's no going back
You must leave your one true pack,and all those memories start to stack
A day after the other a thousand miles apart
You wish you could take it all back to the start
It feels like an arrow piercing through your heart
