بحر

لطالما سمعت انين البحر الباكي
يقذف ماءه الي موجا... شاكي
يذرف دمعا ... ينفض رملا
هذا البحر مسكين .. صار ملجأ للهاربين
يأتون لنسيان كلمة ..
أو تذكر جملة ..
بعدها يعودون ..
ليظل بيت البحر خالي
يسهر الليالي الوحيدة ..
مع ضوء القمر
هل أتاه الخبر؟
عن سفينة غرقت و معها ..
كاد أن يموت ركابها
لولا دموع المطر
هذا صنيعك يا بحر
أغرقت تلك السفينة
و ضربتها بآهات القهر.

Rat race

Ezra finally decided
He's not staying around
It took hefty amounts of thought
And silver balls of steel
The final escape is real.

He had it with his town
Crowded streets 'nd busy malls
"Have to" people plain as dolls
Might as well be empty halls
Ezra's keeping his seeds
Here they'll grow to be weeds.

Finally the bags are packed
The moment came
With no turning back
Or even a peak out the window
His country is already a widow.

The years passed by
Not quickly,  not badly
Ezra is settled, gladly
Where seasons roll
He gave the quest his all.

Where men took life
Like a smack on the face
Ezra went against the norms
And  abandoned the rat race. 

Yesterday's Echos

  *Been a while since
the day I stood
abeam the aquas of Pacifica!
and I can't help
but to think to myself
how did I stop missing ya?

  *Cruised across the back-roads
and through the clear windshield
I looked at ya ...
straight at the eyes I knew,
those intimate things ..
whispers and fingers on my chins ..
were just a replica.

  *Off to the apron I walk
13 grassy steps to the Seneca ..
Luggage is set, a one man flight
far east towards the island of Failaka.  

shout-out

read my poems 
in which you'll sail away 
on a one man boat 
heading east to the seas of Norway 
read each word 
eat them by the letters 
your appetite, 
will swirl-tongue its way
to an ecstasy 
of whole cream milk ...
and butter;
your eyes might shutter,

that would be expected,

a golfer new to my course

is an anxious duffer.

Song of Sorrow

My poetry books ...
scattered everywhere
been looking for the verse,
the right line i'm willing to share

my poetry books ...
I have read them all
not a single poem,
is up for the repair

And the words kept flowing,
out of my mind
looking for that sentence,
that could help re-wind

It's hard it's complicated
Blurry ... & pixelated
my being has depreciated
so i will close my eyes.
`-.
    `--~.
            `-_______
My poetry books ...
flying in the air
searching for the right words
before it gets too late

my poetry books ...
don't you let me down
just tell me what to say
your line could save my fate

And the ink started dripping ...
out of my pen
shaping up my story
one that'll help me win

It's bright ... It's liberating
brilliant ... & fascinating
my life is captivating
so I will raise my head.

Vegas ... across town

left hand 

on left cheek...

right hand 

on the steering wheel...

smooth jazz

105.7

just passed the Stratosphere

rainbow lights,

on empty streets...

mellowing the vibes ,

of my atmosphere...

volume knob twisted

smooth jazz

105.7

traffic lights in rhyme

one turns red,

the other already lime...

not sure when to get there

this time I have plenty of time

amid a soft subtle tune,

played by Earl Hines...

smooth jazz

105.7

a glance at the rear-view mirror

stars and meteors,

or maybe the Strip and downtown 

garage door opening... 

it's time to shutdown 

volume knob pressed

smooth jazz

105.7

You're sad ...
Don't be ...
It's only a matter of time 
the buzz will settle down
and the people will go back to their homes
and silence will start to re-conquer the living room
and the half empty wine glasses will be left alone
---
You're sad ...
Don't be ...
what happened ...
cannot go back
what happened ...
something you'll always think about
---
You're sad...
Don't be ...
you, like every one
had to risk his chance. 

I'm not going to
tell you what goes in my mind ...
simply because,
it will overly astound you.
I will not share
the dreams of my memorable yesterdays ...
just because,
they will only stabilize
fears that long lived ...
inside you.

tish ...

tish ... tish ...

raindrops falling ...

wetting the stairs of my success

tish ... tish ...

no wall to lean on to ...

wish I had her now,

to hold on to ...

tish ... tish ...

I must remain cautious ...

and spare any unfortunate slips,

that could get me unconscious !

tish ... tish ...

hidden thoughts emerging ...

with every careful step I take

I need to start searching ...

before it becomes too late

and find myself drowning,

in the other side of fate !

Beautiful~

you look beautiful...

as if there's no ... tomorrow

as if the sun will remain ... at rise

you look beautiful...

as if the butterflies

will not cease to flare

drifting under

the reflection of your cheeks

you look beautiful...

in a way no painter ... can draw

and no camera ... could shoot

you look beautiful

and every thing around

because of that

I too

am

starting to look

but not quite

as

beautiful!

~some~

sometimes i loose track

something's just not right

somehow i feel a vibe

somesay it's how i act

one day i'll figure out

why thoughts are hard to crack

right now i'll just sit back

and watch peoples' mind react.

Leave...

Leave ...

If well deep inside you

a tear is waiting to be shed.

Leave ...

If the faces around you

have nothing to be said.

Leave ...

for the hymns of joy

are yet to be loudly read.

Leave ...

so the sun can finally rise

and warm the hairs upon your head.

Leave ...

and go to the far away coast

its Golden sand is aching to be stepped~

tell me why I try ?

I want you,

even though good-bye is

near by ...

I want you,

yet something seems to

keep blinding my eye ...

I like you,

but why doing so

is in itself ... a try ?

I like you,

despite my awareness

of your attempted lie ...

I'm leaving,

you can have the rest of our time

for you to ... fry!

I'm leaving,

remember my words

for the sake of

the next ... guy!

الممرضه

كالجندي المجهول ...

...تكون الممرضه
على شفاه المرضى ...

تزرع إبتسامه...
وتسهر الأيام والليالي للإنسان ...

...بلا منامه
تراها ترعى رعاياها ...

كرعاية الأب الحنون

... لليتامى
بأناملها تعالج ...

وبيديها تداوي ...

وبعينيها تواسي

أما بقلبها الحنون...

فتزرع في انفسنا

بذور السلامه.

سقط جفني عليها

يا من سقط جفني عليها

ففتحت أبواب السحاب

يا من هَوَت روحي إليها

فَتَشَرعت بَوابة السماء

وانشرحت فيني روحي الضائعه

و أصبحت هائما في أجواء خيالك

أجول بين غيومك البيضاء الناصعه

وأطير عبر فكرك ... الخلاب

يا من سقط جفني عليها

فيك وجدت ضالتي

و بك ...

ضللت نفسي

______

void ...

where myself currently ...

resides !

unsure ...

uncertain ...

unaware ...

of it's empty-full position.

running from ...

escaping to ...

hiding in ...

me !

the world is pretty ...

but no nation feels right.

the earth keeps spinning ...

and no ticket gets me where I want.

a big board filled with destinations,

yet no place where my heart can ... act.

Spent a long summer ... fall ... and winter searching ...

living out of an old backpack.

and when my time was ... out.

to my home ... I came back.

only to find out.

only to conclude.

that no tickets were ever needed.

no rides were meant to be done.

all what myself really wanted.

In your Heart ... yearning to become~

كلمه بسيطه

بسيطة هي الكلمات ... فقوليها

لي ان كان في نفسك ... إعتبار

وجميلة هي المشاعر ... فعبريها

لقلبي ان كان في روحك ... نفسي

انا كنت و مازلت لعينيك ... أسير

واريد ان اكون لك سجين

فاعتقليني...

خذيني إلى زنزانتك

فسوف أعترف

ولسوف تسمعين

ما كنت تريدين...

about me...

I may be somewhat poetic,
some have said that i'm an expressionist,
I'm not the best when it comes to being a self-descriptionist !
I like to lay what I have on the table so no need to be very vigilant !
Just try me and we'll see if things turn out to be truly...Legitimate!
