Restoration

You say it’s detrimental to my soul,but what else can I do to cope?I’ve traded peace for future growth,but in doing so I gave up on both. I’ve stopped trying to learn in these trying times,and I guess along the way, I forgot to be alive.Looking back, my life has been one big sigh. But, … More Restoration

Into the Mist

By the shorelines near the evergreen, I rest near ill-fallen treesWhen the clouds above me disappear,  and there’s hope for clarityCamouflaged in a dress dyed moss green, my body is finally at easeAnd, I’m unencumbered by fear, but cast with the curse of curiosityNow part of the unseen, I glide along with the breezeUnbothered I laid for … More Into the Mist

Days went by | مضت الأيام

مضت الأيامومازالت أبواب قلبي مفتوحةأتت السنينوملأت الرمال صدري تقف ذاكرتك على التلالتناظرني من بعيدتلتفت وتعاتب أطلالاًكانت في الماضي أحلام … هنا، الشمس لا تغربفجفت الأنهار وتراكمت الرمالحتى تكونت بداخلي صحراءذبلت ورود كانت ترتوي منكوروحي أعياها لهيب الرياح ظمأ شمسٌ قاسية تحرق قلبيصرخاتها أسكتت القمر … لا تنام و ينام هووذاكرتك تنادي على التلالوتترجاه ان يفتح … More Days went by | مضت الأيام

Disorientated

What is this overwhelming heaviness on my chest? Why won’t my mind lay to rest? Seconds are often too long. People talk, but I’m all alone. Why does everything feel so wrong?Am I a passerby? Do I have a place in this world? I clasp my hands and try to feel the breeze. I’m in … More Disorientated

A letter to you

I wish I had it in me to let you knowthat all of this is just for show.Don’t believe the things I say’cause I walk between the cracks on the floorto avoid lying while holding the truth. Your arms imprison me. I never want to escape your embrace.Your warmth is comforting. You hold me close, … More A letter to you

In an ideal world

In an ideal world, I’d live alone. Perhaps, I’d share a small home with a few people I choose to know, and we’d live together in the afterglow.   In an ideal world, they’d be no fools, who’d kill over earthly jewels, no men of pride and soulless tools, no vengeance or staggering rules.   … More In an ideal world

Jaded

I miss you a lot, and it hurts a lot more ’cause I’m missing someone I never got to know. All I can think of is how it ended up this way, and I can still hear you say, “I’m falling for you.” I wonder what these words meant to you cause my heart was skipping … More Jaded

Please don’t drown | أرجوك… لا تغرق

He whose eyes melted the stars in my skies هدأت نظراته، و لم أعد أعرف ماذا يدور في خاطره. كدت أسأله ولكني ترددت ثم ترددت و أخيراً استسلمت. كدت أمد له يداً  تواسيه و لم أعثر على كلمات تساوي ما أراه أمامي. أين أعثر على كلماتٍ وأنشئ عباراتٍ جديرة بالقول؟ التهمه حزنٌ غامض، وجلست أتأمله و … More Please don’t drown | أرجوك… لا تغرق
