New Beginnings

I am standing at the brink of insanity yet you ask me to lean a little more will you catch me if I fall? or let me break into a thousand pieces? I do not know which is better to have my prayers answered or have my existence shattered One is a consolation and the…

Illumination

You have kept peace just out of reach, haven’t You? All my emotions are transient but this emptiness isn’t These hollows that surround me I hear Your echoes in it Fill me with your luminescence so it flows from my eyes and brightens this world a little so it rides in my voice and soothes…

In Time

Look a little deeper

Look, you are a human do not get wary of connection Look, without feeling anything can you strip away your emotions? and look at those beings in their entirety? each is battling his own demons and putting on his own show Look deeper, there isn’t a heart without kindness Contempt is sowed, not inherent Do…

My Muse

Who is writing this? Have I a muse upon me or have I become one? My pen is fluttering away faster than my meager mind I feel like a blank note then where is this coming from? It feels like a narration I feel frantic yet I do not know about what my thoughts are…

The White Flower

The day he gave me a white flower and wished upon me its beauty Beauty that makes it to the lover’s hair Beauty that makes a child squeal with delight The beauty in braveness of putting itself out there not knowing how long the bloom will last. The beauty of vulnerability of being plucked, of…

To Omran

How do I look at you? how do I look away? You little boy, wiping blood off your face and not knowing what it is. I am trying to numb myself. I don’t want to see, because when I look, you pull me into that van and I have to look into your big eyes,…

What good amid these, O me, O life?
