Tip of the pit


it was sweet
it was intense
now I'm using the past tense
since my defeat
with myself
regressing as human
losing every sense


feast for fasting souls
never enough
I retreat
death was the rude awakening
making the rest numb
I was never the one
nor you
it was a silly game for two
I have so much to say
after a sour play
yet my letters are dry
like the floor beneath your feet
an offense
unforgiven
I pray for burning sun
to end this delusion
self inflicted confusion
this time I'm bare
from any self defense
coming undone
the last of her
the beginning of me
and a final goodbye

your kiss was at the right moment..
"friends" that "feel" for each other?
but never dare
to cross lines as you say
to cause hurt unintended
as it can go both ways
I fail to make the distinction
maybe I'm too self righteous
dwelling on minor intervention
if your feelings were too strong not to stop
then reality shows up the next day to bite
although it was too good you say
causing my soul to drop
& you try to tell me it did not mean as much
or was it, should not?!
with that crossing the lines I could not handle or could
might cause a wedge
too big to jump
break a bridge
too deep to fall in stumbling on this bump
and you would rather scratch me off your wall
replacing me with your own comfort
I looked too sweet and like a bee
you couldn't turn away
but still your heart didn't fall
how is that fair?
to me?
to you?
to the time you keep hiding behind
wanting it to be your best friend instead
while leaving me to the cold condescend
a "caring" question if I'm ok?
while it was you who is not!
how would it be if the table was turned?
would you have felt the same burn
the stinging of the tears I wept
wishing you have never asked
wishing you had let it be unsaid
ruining a perfect moment in its simplicity
painting my clear blue sky red
it is ok for you to leave me wonder
while you ponder on how tactful it should be
energy a waste
it was a blow the second you asked
maybe it was a leftover from my sad past
all I knew
I had to take the best route
just be understanding as a friend
locking the rest in this box

what went wrong or right?

what was the fight?

to win me or lose yourself?

I fail

I fail to understand

your soft choking hand

loving me

& raping me instead

haven't realized yet

my rain wept

dried

leaving me this trail

in forsaken's love empty land

my only light

what's mine to command

not for you to steal

with few words

never enough

to grow

to have it glow

a sun in our bed

and I fear

to crave

your silence

a canvass to weave in my head

mistaking its truth

hunger blind

eating splinters instead of bread


I don’t know what it is

I don’t care what will be

For you it takes a moment

To bloom life inside of me




And all the words we spoke

In the stillness of the dawn

That started sunsets

We have never known

You make it seem easy

Just to sit back and say nothing

Like finally Silence is holding nothing against me

Won’t I choose to hold you against this world

I care much

carrying no worry

For time to rush

For dreams to hurry

Call it what it is

though no need to call it at all

is it a wonder

seeing green in cracks in a hard wall


every thing aches

from vein to vein

this is winding me insane

I'm in the middle

of nowhere

a clown in hearts funfair

covering my pain

with all paints of color

I hum ..I howl ..I shudder

shaking off this despair

these chains

you spin

not knowing your wall

I will drag them with me

in this fall

bury under

without your name

choking on shame

a martyr

in your losing game

في كثير من الأحايين يعتريني إيمان

بأنني عندما قررت الهرب من رحم أمي

كنت فد قصصت حبل السرة حتى قبل الولادة

لا أنفك عن الرحيل

عن الهروب

عن البحث عما قد يشبهني أو النقيض

كي أستبدل ما يقبع في الذاكرة

و في الأوردة

وأن أعيد تعلم أنشودة لوطن ما

كم احترفت النسيان

وفن الرقص

ليطغى على وجع النبض

رحالة تجمع قصاصات

من ملامح حب

وأطياف جميع المشاعر المتتاثرة

عبثا هنا وهناك

كفوضى الحرب


7 February 2012


أسئلة صغيرة


لم أخترك و لم تخترني مشاعر تأبى عن تكف عن النبض

رغم بلادة الظروف

رغم حزن المواقف

رغم الأمن الخائف في سياسة الرفض

وزيف المألوف

وجميع العوائق

كم مؤلم أن يتواجد الصدق عند عبث الجدوى

وأن يجهض الأمل قبل أن تلتقى قبلة

كوطني البعيد الفريب

كاملا بجهلي له كسراب

أجدد معرفتي به بترتيق التفاصيل

عطر قديم بالحزن عابق

كعينيك

تناديان حنانا يعتريني دون منطق

ليكبل خجلا مشدوها عند بابك



وأقرأ في يديك خرائط

لجبال خطوتها كعلو كبريائي

وأسألها عنك

كم لك بعد أن تمضي هكذا

في كل طريق شائك؟
