it has been a while           tick tock
but it hasn't really been that long                      
not compared to other times            

for some reason            
i'm really worried about you            
i have a sinking feeling            
that something's wrong
maybe something happened            
i think something's wrong
i'm worried i know something's wrong
i just need to hear back from you            
i feel there's something wrong
i hope it's nothing too bad            
i wish i could be there            
i would know for sure then            
if something was wrong

Rhyme not, my friends,
and try your best to make your
words out of little to no sense.
In sense you will find yourself
drowning in organization,
and we all know what organization
will eventually change into:
the word that refuses to be spoken
on the lips of those with a creative mind;
but here, I'll say it, just for you
in hopes that you'll shy from it too.
Structure.
Oh, Lord of Poetry, forgive me
for I have sinned
I swear, on Whitman, I'll never
say it again.
But you, my friend, keep that in mind.
Nonsensical words that lack organization
and then, then, you can call it
poetry.

i don't like to verbally fight
so when someone throws
their anger at me
i can just stay silent
and not say a single word.

i don't like to admit things
so when you ask me
for reasons
i can just stay silent
and not say a single word

i don't like to ruin things
so when you decide to
spend time with me
i'd love that and
i can just stay silent
and not say a single word
(c.r)
i don't know if this will make sense but when i'm angry i stay silent and when i feel loved i also stay silent

at the dead of night
she wakes
and finds herself
in a maze which is her mind
and she can't escape
the fact that
you don't love her back.

HUGE W A L L S
     overlook
         the
       future....

timeline tunnels blocked--
Pink Floyd wasn;t kidding
         about THE W A L L S....

But a HUGE hug hangs
     the stone mental blockade
            on the gallows under a crescent moon

       while gypsies cheer with tambourines and  
                     artists draw with the ashes from their cigarettes
                            and
                      ­writers jot down the joyous carnival mood between shots

Chinese lanterns and Ramadan Fanous
             illuminate the b r i d g es
                      brrrrrrrrighter
                                 iridescence and
                                      swinging
              ­                 with misfits dripping anticipation
                      spinning sufis swaying
                                         to see the mural landscape opposite  THE W A L L S.
Thanks for the word Asma :)
i want to live in a city
          where street lights are a constant
     sound echos when people sleep
                   but for all the unfortunate souls
the insomniacs
            they're up and moving
     brains ticking over
                                           but it's not so bad
         there's the echo of the city
                 and the constant light
                                           maybe there are others
                    i'm not alone in
     insomniac city

                                            i am in the country
                       the crickets sleep
                                  clouds cover the moon
                                             it's too dark and quiet
                           my mind ticks over more
              i wish
              i lived in
              insomniac city

it still surprises me
that i remember the places
                            the people
                            everything
                           (well not everything but you get me)
as i have a capability of going
through the places i've been before
and i can relive those moments
even though i left
for more than 2 years ago

but how do you not want
  to live in the past?
   everything was fine!
    people were happy,
     and so was I
          

                don't you want to be
                happy?

what is happiness?
they say the definition is:
"state of well-being characterized by
emotions ranging from
contentment to intense joy."

well in my opinion
happiness is found
in yourself

and for me,
i found happiness
from yours

i'm so happy that my overall poems have been viewed two-thousand times, it means so much to see people read one or two or maybe more, and it means much more when you like them.
