Without you

I have made
this vow
in unborn
silence whether
the sky has lost
her tongues
and the earth
her sights whether
the sun has been
blinded by her
minions
and the stars have
lost their smiles
i stand by this vow
in fertilized quiet

Open wounds

has torn me
my wounds open yet not
open laced with fiery pain
yet my lips are voyaging
agony spread over my lids
yet drift into obscure

something has torn
my four walls
yet Ramadan has
come for my tongue

something so deep

Before the dawn

Before the Dawn

 I took a seat
by my window
watching in silence--
the battle
of this harmattan wind
and tired trees--
trembling yet praying
that dawn rises
and bring them peace
I mumbled a prayer
too
that this dawn
be my peace

Her name was la la

Her name was La La
she never lived
only dreamt;
of joy
flying in lamps
like paper
floating in air
La la
never smiled at noon
or at the bright morn
but as after-day nears
perky bubbles burst
all around her face
La la
never spoke

Fantasies that come with longing

Here I am
awaiting twilight
at noon
... perhaps
it would appear
with you
on its wings
or probably
you'd be spread
between the hues
of the rainbow
at dawn
Maybe Morning
will come
with stars
to twinkle your
message

Shadows


down the alley
at Allen avenue
covered in mist
combing strands
of midnight
in cloaks --
a chameleon of their
fangs
whispering like
the kettle in my
kitchen

down the alley
at Allen avenue
where my cottage
lies
shadows of...

With each breath

each breath
I'll;

 look towards
horizons displayed
in the sky, hands
raised like a
supplicant begging
the almighty
for thousand wishes
summarized into
whispery sizzles
-- your gaze
all I need

set bonfires up
in arabian deserts...

Paparazzi loving birds



 




 paparazzi loving birds
swaying in gloomy violet clouds
in obvious Oblivion...as it seems
to awed eyes
iPhones and Canon

seductively flapping
wings to rouse
cameras' desire
to click fascinating
images of...

Play me the song of grief

me the song
of grief
watch me dance
to this crying drum
i have long
forgotten how
to smile

play me
the drama
of guilt
I'll grab
popcorn and sit
to enjoy the
dripping sorrow
of this screen

play me the song
of grief
I'll...

Inner voices

voices
in my
head
strangling my
peace

 I pretend
not to hear
letting them
fight with
my sanity
but was i
ever sane
in this
chaos
I'm smiling
yet struggling
i don't
want to face
them
i can't!
i reek too much
of this...
