#discern
never been addicted to the pursuit
loaded the gun but i would never shoot
i like where i am, i understand now
just had to see how it panned out
escapist oasis, touching land now
swam in muddy waters, searched for myself
thought i knew better, looked outside myself
follow the river into the ocean’s mouth
swallow my pride and shut my mouth
observe and serve
discern and curve

My innocent princess your glowing eyes dictate
It seems that you want to cut straight to my heart
Let your beauty be straight and frank just to state
That love and beauty are same and not poles apart
Your graces and intuition make you great to declare
That you have been created in paradise with a glow
That your flair and glare definitely makes you rare
God has sent you to the world, His beauty to show
So you are not part of this world but a light in trance
Through the centuries like a candle you burn to turn
Every darkness from the face of earth to give a chance
With modern pattern to the world in sojourn to discern

Respect and accept
The memories you regret
Because each is a lesson
That you'd better not forget
A lesson to learn
And some time to burn
It may be quite difficult
Some are hard to discern
But don't be concerned
Unless you haven't learnt
Only then will you know
How much revenge can hurt

Base to Major Tom…
all around me now is sound, it seems
only yesterday, in dreams,
this keeps happening,
we keep thinking eventually finality
drops the curtain, and we become
our own selves… found in our hardened parts,
as when one knows the riddles all come
with one right answer, or the riddle is not fair.
Ezekial 17, comes to my mind,
because I happen to live in chapparel,
of the sort they have south of Lebanon…
mentioned in the riddle.
Who ignores the money side of things…
you know,
the business of being creative distributors,
agents allowing the artist
to premature.
It's your show, kid,
this is all you wished for, make it last.
