In the wind
I want to be like a leaf in the wind
I want to float in the air
Without any particular direction
I just want to feel free
I just want to be me
I want to float in the air
Without any particular direction
I just want to feel free
I just want to be me

and at poetry he nibbles
I only write free verse because
it saves all the bother of counting
the syllables, to be honest,
he said, in one of his scribbles ..

Leaf
Full of holes
soft and ragged
along my uncurled edges
but I am strong
as darkness flows
through my veins
as my heart is nothing
but a leaf.

Dreamers, Poets
free as the wind
colourful as shimmers
dappled rays of sun
life without borders
that's our imaginations
knitting with words
producing worlds
where we reside

Inertia
..
it does not matter
before sunset
everyone will die
sooner or later...
the ones you love
the ones you hate
those that don't matter
sooner or later
everyone will die
it does not matter
after sunset
...

Humble Thimble
I'm just a thimble
a humble tool
but I'm useful
a tailor's shield
among colourful threads
and shiny needles
I'm unpretentious
not pretty with patterns
but as a guardian
I'm strong and resilient
guarding your fingertips
against painful pricks.

THE POET OF BEIRUT
The Poet is a mad woman;
Words: Tempest in his mind.
The Poet is a pregnant woman;
Words: Pangs of his existence.

One and Done
Writers are not very interesting.
There’ll always be another one.
What’s important is what they make,
what in their mediocrity’s been done.

Breakfast with You
Everyday
Breakfast
Have it with you
We discuss berries
Yours are exotic
Mine, pedestrian
Best time of the day

The Urge
The urge was too great,
We could not resist;
Perhaps it was fate --
Us having a tryst.
