I’m waiting for the day where those memories no longer hold their pain so true, And all that remains is a story that can be retold. For those moments remembered that make my whole body cringe at what I already know, And the hate that grew out of an unforeseen moment bygone, For as long […]
From the looks of events that are going on, it just seems everyone is ready to kill the moment they get a chance, no matter the side, no matter the cause. The anger we are surrounded with and living in is pure evil… and we are all soaking in blood we can’t seem to put […]

I dream in colors in story lines complete I dream through feelings lived, emotions craved, and imagination free Of laughter drama chaotic randomness that makes sense only to me. I breath life, my five senses always alert. I seek feelings in all it’s shades and shadows, for I’m the prism from which light filters through.

A great poem by a great poet – Nizar Qabbani: هذي دمشقُ.. وهذي الكأسُ والرّاحُ إنّي أحبُّ… وبعـضُ الحـبِّ ذبّاحُ أنا الدمشقيُّ.. لو شرحتمُ جسدي لسـالَ منهُ عناقيـدٌ.. وتفـّاحُ و لو فتحـتُم شراييني بمديتكـم سمعتمُ في دمي أصواتَ من راحوا زراعةُ القلبِ.. تشفي بعضَ من عشقوا وما لقلـبي –إذا أحببـتُ- جـرّاحُ مآذنُ الشّـامِ تبكـي إذ […]
