A tree
 Apr 2020 Menna grace
Sanaa
A tree deep into the forest
alone in the woods
Roots deeply rooted
Keeping it in place
It wants to flow with the leaves
To a populated place
With beautiful greenery
And more branches than it’s own
A place that smells like timber
With thousands of saplings
for company .
A sorrow like this in three lines is a paradox
To the silent suffering, to the ones who cry a lot
Like herding cats, a dying character in a pointless plot

Public places
now empty spaces
free of all familiar faces

But there is an upside
a turn of the tide
away from environmental suicide

Shifting towards clean
Mother Earth more serene
thriving more than I’ve ever seen
Inspired on a walk during the corona crisis
the wrong one
will find you in peace
and end up leaving you in pieces

only the right one
can find you in pieces
and guide you to peace
And all the loneliness floods and pools within
The darkened sea of sweetened sin
A pain strengthened of anguish
Lost hope breeds my languish
Sanguine eyes are blind and frail
Misconceived by this stupid veil
Til I've paid my final price
My life's vice has cursed me twice
//On loneliness and addiction//
the night fell
as one last revelation
this pale moon, a metronome
in the gulf of my eyes
christ, i was so weak
for avoiding the spectacle
but i’m running out of reasons
left to say goodbye

my phantom at the doorway
all serpentine and sage
while your perfume takes to air
like the harvest pollen
exalted in the rain

and sometime, too
will i finally sleep
by the candlelight of day

This world has already became blind
No one can see
It’s empty pride.

Greed,
Is this world’s
Strong need.

It’s faceless
Toys
Is already graceless.
The lost world of humanity.
