a prayer

my darling,
you were my heaven -
hallowed be thy veins.
thy kingdom come, my affection won.
your love, though a hellfire, was heaven.
give me a chance to clear my head.
forgive me, for not recognizing
your voice among the masses,
as i forgive those who break my trust.
lead me not into isolation
but deliver me from myself.
for thine is the space
here in my ribcage
forever & ever.
amen.

- m.f.
A haiku for me:
My heart may be broken; more
like shattered. I’m stuck

Look at the strange child,
He hides in his hood.

Sunken like Kronos,
In a prison of blood.

Look now to the girl,
With the waiting rubber-band,

Aimed at the boy,
Who won't make a stand.

A snap is heard by a few in the room.
They know not what they witness,

They will to laugh to their doom.
As they sift through suspended stillness.

Then for the boy everything stops,
The projectile poised in front of his face.

He strengthens his mind while his mask then drops,
His fears are no more for his demons he'll chase.

Time is no more while he walks to the girl,
Staring at the place he once resided,

In his pale eyes hatred writhes and swirls,
Now for sure he is decided,

The flask in his pocket contains the essence of virtue,
The reality from a god of cruel taste,

Down her throat he pours it for he knew,
The purity of the righteous will watch the guilty waste.

Leaving the place he used to call hell,
Time returns to disgrace.

The girl then ignited and fell,
The boy goes to find new evils to face.

What a waste of a world,
What a waste.

Well,
people never ask about what I love,
what I hate,
It seems that "I" have to fade
it seems that "I" is not important
because "I" is Palestinian.

I'm not allowed to work,
I'm not allowed to get proper education,
I'm not allowed to talk,
I'm not allowed to speak of liberation.

They call me a refugee,
but, dear, I am a slave.

I'm not a terrorist
I'm not blinded by religion
I'm not blinded by traditions
I'm only human
I have no liberty
because of my nationality.

You, who call our for human rights,
Am I not human?
Am I not a victim of insignificant fights?

Well,
All I know is that I'm alive,
I exist.

So keep your prejudiced selves away from me,
and let me be,
let me be free.

I am only a human
a human
I have a beating heart
I love art
I have ambitions
and dreams
stop shattering me
because of a nationality.
A rant.

Humans tend to destroy everything that is pure and heavenly.
I reside in Lebanon, a paradise.
But since people abhor each other religously,
the city has fallen and it cannot rise.
So I watch them **** each other's lives rapidly,
and I smile to myself because it's like watching mice.
Mice trying to steal a rotten piece of cheese,
but little do they know, that it's a trap,
made by the old ******* cat!
Once the mice reach the cheese,
the cat will devour them.
"Such a sad story." I say aloud.
And god answers,
"A sad story indeed."
I live in Beirut.

Aphasia

words deprived of meaning
  thoughts stranded in translation
   feelings imprisoned without sentencing

a stroke of life...un coup de vie
  an existence brutally stricken
   incapable of verbal expression

communication frustration...no relief
  nuances from mundane to sublime
   lost in an endless syntax maze

and sure, some actions speak louder
  but unspoken words of love and support
   fall like an acid rain of futility on the heart

Sad enough when inflicted by fate
  tragic as a self-induced metaphor
The muting of squandered opportunities
  will keep you disconnected and haunt your future

Aphasics have no say in this matter
            What's your excuse?

i will plant
i will plant flowers
i will plant flowers all around the garden
i will plant flowers all around the garden of your heart

you will breathe
you will breathe in deeply
you will breathe in deeply the fragrance
you will breathe in deeply the fragrance of my love
