long after these thousand days of
passing years, the eyes will feel a
sparking, I will remember you,
my dear old friends, reviewing
the where, the when, which will
flush, outing the whys
from my
memories

more than the poetic liturgy composed,
but what felled me to my knees,
yearning,
for the soup of love and passion,
pain+no gain, euphorias rising at the
trenching lows of depths
newly explored, hope returning after a
long time abandonment, the
excruciating ecstasy
of creating, the killing tedium of
months of no inspiration but the
glint of a possible tomorrow

but you knot all this,
so come to tell you,
long after the poem
encased in yellowing
emerald unwrapping
aging megabytes, more
than any old poem itself,
I wil remember what you
wrote in return, with insight
all we are, we are an interaction
a petrified yet living petri dish of
creatures re/anew,
r e n e w e d, and I am
young again

and the tears of yore no more,
fresh flowering droplets of
a longer than believable age,
factuals of the sweet,
you will move once
more, remaking me
your lover devotee

       and I wil stumble;
       the woman enquirer
       am I ok, whimsy
       respond never,
       never ever better
       my darling

and I lift a tissue
to erase the evidence
of my happy melancholic
existence, and start another
conversation with you, but no!

one of us long gone, name
erased, poems left behind,
orphaned children, them
and me left alone while
I will be remembered,
by remembering you,
our second of union

as it
reverberates, our amour
reunion is a wetting,
giving forth a burst,
a fluid sac,
again

Why does our soul crave someone else when we're so complete in ourselves.

When that moment comes to say goodbye
I feel like a baby who wants to cry

Ohh, life is so hard, baby
Without your love I'm going to go crazy

Friends can't stay forever
Job, work, school, whatever

Honey I want to see you all the time
Even in your dreams if you don’t mind

What people say I don’t care
You and I against the fear

Sweetie, come sit with me and break the space
You and I - face to face

Darling, I don’t know what I’m saying
I just remember we were playing

I wish that time back again
Without hurt, without problems, without pain

Honey, without your love, I feel like I'm in prison
Do you know that story about the guy from heaven?

I'm that guy and I'm coming to you
To fix your life from false to true.
I always wondered
What is the purpose?
All the written words
An expression of oneself
On a piece of paper
Dotted in black ink
Which makes me feel better
But if often leaves me wondering
What is the purpose?
Maybe a collection of memories
Of what once was
Something important for me
Maybe I know the actual purpose
It is a place for me to heal
No more wearing any mask
And express what I truly feel

How can someone love me if I'm too broken?
If my scars are visible and ugly
If I keep too many secrets unspoken
And my heart is always unhappy

How can someone love me if I'm shattered?
I am a hard puzzle you can't ever solve
The pieces of me are scattered
And i am difficult to dissolve

How can someone love me if I don't even love myself?
If I'm the one who sends trouble
If I'm like an old book stock in a shelf
And a boring girl who doesn't go out from her bubble

So how can someone love me if I'm locked up in a cage
And too broken like a crumpled page.

There are things you're good at,
I'm good at others.
But, the things I'm good at,
are more important.

And I don't know why I still write about her,
Or why I still think about her,
Or check my phone for a message from her,
Or dream of her before sleep,
When we're supposed to be done.

When we don't make effort for each other,
When we've (she's) been with other people,
When we've (I've) become infatuated with others,
When we're living our lives and growing on our own.

I don't know why,
I cling to the idea of her so.
Maybe because it's bright.
The effect she had on me.
Maybe I miss it.
Maybe I long for it.
Maybe she's a reminder that my heart
Dark and foul,
Could still love another.
Could love so hard it knew neither up or down,
Could get so lost in another
That time and space became muddled.

Maybe our paths have deviated,
But is set for reunion.
But until that time,
If it ever comes,
I will continue looking back,
Growing in reflection,
And taking my time.

Taking the time to figure out
Why loving her is the only thing I know.
مارأيك لو عددنا النجوم وعلى كل نجمة أقبلك لن تنتهي النجوم ولن أشبع من تقبيلك.

Escape ....



I want endless distraction ...

want to leave my world ...

to wander like fog over the hills ...

like water to evaporate and disappear ...

Or, ...

to fade away like a mirage ...

Or ,..

I fade away from this world ...

forever ...

or ,...

to melt like snow ...

from the mountaintops ...

between the valleys ...

In an escape like absence ...

so I get lost with a life ...

that was wasted in vain ...

with wishes and unforgettable memories ...

because  ...

I'm bored of life ...

without the one I love ...

You know it hurts when you can’t cry, you just stand there, mind filled with whys.
