I inhale forgiveness.
And exhale all my vengeance.
Like taking a word from my right ear,
And throwing it out from the other
It hurts to say this:
Saying "Marhaba" to misfortune with warm hugs
Know why I do this?
I wait for serendipity
To surprise me with a confetti of lilies.
I'll fly with each petal...
But,
Why do I forget that there's always a purpose behind an accident?

delaminated

I've broken free

the blade undone

cover me with a round of fire

and I'll meet you

on the landing strip

but where's the safety net?

where are the professionals?

it's not war that chills my spine

this time

it's the final take

I think sometimes
about the thing lost
inside that bar bathroom stall

And about the blood
that had flowed effortlessly
in brilliant, shiny-red globs.

I said goodbye then—
to the accident I never wanted
or even knew existed.

The human mind
and the human heart
~
Curiosity
and the scent of a woman
~
Omaha Beach
and the poisoned sky
~
Technology
and the rhythm method
~
Morse Code
and one too many icebergs
~
Mighty dollar
and what is never laid to rest
~
The human mind
and the human heart

Is it death?
It isn't that bad.
From the roads and rush
Horns and noise,
To this serenity
And eternal silence .


Time to rest
As the sun within me sets,
My time on earth ceases.


They will be fine, I hope
My love , don't you cry
Take care of my little angels


Strange reluctance
Throughout my body.
Too tired to open my eyes
But I must see this,
New world
New life.



I see the white
I hear the silence
I feel the shivering
Across my heart.


The white room
The white bed
In between
I am the living dead


This isn't death
But surely is worse.
I see their anxious eyes
Waiting for me to wake.

Truth thrown at me like pebbles
Pain that I have to take.


As the morphine
Fades away ,
Burn sharpened from
Knee to thigh.


Heart crumbles in pain
Not for the lost leg
But for the coming days.



I wish I was dead
But a burden I remain.
