arabic / english poem

دراويش مولوية
في قلب الوردة البيضاء
اما عِطرُها مِن مفاتيحهم الكونية



whirling dervishes
at the heart of white rose
her fragrance one of their cosmic keys

Note

Combining Love to Wisdom one gets Grace.

Hence, no grace without love even if there is wisdom.
Likewise, no grace without wisdom even if there is love.

micropoetry

next to the exploding news
a pinned lighthouse of I

the witnesser free of judgement

5 lines

her touch a mantra
seated in each cell of his
a thousand chanting monks
in silence to vibrate
the rising thunder between tremors

haiku

open wings
erasing outer sky
inner breath

micropoetry

in a flutter
sound of now

5 lines

on same window
in different dimensions
they unfurl in poems as if kisses
blooming in each other wound
to heal that with liquid gold

arabic poetry

نسيمٌ  قبيلَ الفجر

يتسلقُ عُمراً

الى ثغرها المتورّد

في عُمْقِ تنهيدة

ليرتحل مع خُصلات شَعْرِها

نحو شمسٍ مِن الحنين

تُهدى مرةً اخرى اليها

في تَرَقرُقِ قطرة ندى

ما بين الضفتين

haiku

white butterfly
the way she drifts to hidden
lavender field

storytelling

she stands barefoot
in her translucent nightgown
facing jasmine breeze
to be fuller moon
under his gaze

micropoerty

a new lease on life
watching her favorite film
over and over again
to ease the unknown

storytelling

she cloaks herself in pre dawn
to go exploring void
telepathic sound the enhanced
empowers her to breathe in
white roses peak frequencies

haiku

length of an alley
the smell of home cooking
homeless man babysits his shadow

ping-pong in slow motion
the night sky for year-round
window framing

haiku

sweet cinnamon stick
into bitter coffee
mom's mark

micropoetry

pollen on bumblebee legs
he leaves her

haiku

into each other hearts
the way we leak
an alphabet of fire

haiku

lavender field
he sniffs the breeze
of her homeward journey

love


micropoetry

thriving in shivers
a dew of early morning light

an alchemist needed
for initials post divorce

she deals with books
as if room with view

divorce
with ring of light
thumb fiddles
the felt absence

haiku

double bed right side
years after divorce
a curve-tomb deepens

haiku

quite a portal
in the whirl of a rose
light at fingertips

haiku

her gaze drifts
over a forget-me-not
in bloom, sun

micropoetry

every muscle I never heard from, shout
post training

haiku

grandma
ring too loose
a how to resize life

haiku

sharing sweet silence
hand in hand
moonlight sways

micropoetry

kissing to seal their goodbye
then the wind
always the wind ebbs and flows

haiku

caresses and his sighs
sunset flock of birds
crossing vein

micropoetry

goodbye
she leaps into her fragrance
and him, into her void

micropoetry

light from void
in the sound of a seashell

storytelling

her curve, a lullaby
that cradles the entirety of sea
shell

listen to
soul poems

haiku

pre-dawn full moon
on the curl of an eyelash
finding hidden joy

haiku

her sun
girl turns face towards
first love

micropoetry

deep down my vein
ancestors library
which book am I to open

haiku

finding out center of gravity
rose in bloom
compassion that whirls

micropoetry

combing my hair all the fireflies

haiku

gold coin drops
from the seagull beak
sunset gazing

haiku

honey ripples
the breeze at dusk allures me to
108 bows for all that is

storytelling

midnight nude swimming
her voice in small pocket
left on shore

for rosewater to cradle moonbeams
all this innocence

haiku

deeper into summer
tonight jasmine breeze
she leans forward

haiku

peekaboo giggles
landing on moon through clouds
permanence

storytelling

wild flower that closes up at night
surrounded by darkness, she turns to her inner sun
he awaits her morning to be dew on open lips

Note

How much do we experience what is, through outside circumstances and feedback?! Trusting our stories of sunset endings and sunrise beginnings, falling into hectic loops of emotional and mental rides.
What if, we make a leap to be the Sun. Feeling our inner strength while being conscious about our solar flares impact on others. Knowing Self as eternal source of light irrespective whatever.

haiku

a day off
to witness rain
fully present

Note on Garden of Forgiveness

Ending 3 days “Healing Wounds of History” workshop, June 12, 2016, all attendees with gracious hosts went to visit Garden of Forgiveness, a gem project based on Alexandra Asseily vision, situated between 3 mosques, 3 cathedrals and 3 thousands years of archeology at the heart of Down Town, Beirut. 

At the end of our visit, which was quite emotional for me, feeling the outer space in every cell of my body, Alexandra Asseily asked me as psychic what do I foresee for the Garden. I replied “Instead of being a center that links (her initial vision), it became an island (bit isolated and unaccessible yet preserved from above). People have to build bridges to access it.”

Visionaries like Alexandra do manifest gold for all to benefit from but it is for group consciousness to reach out for it and its blessings.


That evening when I reached home, an explosion went off near by. 


I asked myself what kind of bridges each one of us has to build to access his or her Garden of Forgiveness, breaking the cycle of violence. The Garden is always there, within, preserved from above. Yet we have to allow ourselves to access it. I found myself answering: “Through raising awareness, Garden of Forgiveness is accessible, wherever it is.”

Love breeds even more gorgeous love.
Hate breeds even more ferocious hate.
It is not Revolution that we seek but rather Evolution.


May we raise our awareness to be blessed accessing our Garden of Forgiveness.
May we claim back our wise hearts to thrive in peace and harmony.
Much love and appreciation to Alexandra Asseily.

Note on HWH

Quite an interesting first day out of three, attending Healing Wounds of History. It is based on experiential learning. So the 'game' was to channel 3 persons / energies then my higher self on a personal issue.
My question / issue: "Where is home?" (which country to live in)
My grandmother Asma answered: "Your home is not made of stones. Your home is your inner strength. Tap into it to feel home anywhere and everywhere. Your inner strength anchors a lot of wisdom, child. I gift you my white shawl, put it over your head whenever you are tired to feel my presence next to you."

Jesus answered: "The light is you. You radiate light. Light is your home. Feel that connection. It does not matter on which road you walk. Vibrate your light everywhere. No one can deprive you from your light. Light upon light."
Home planet Sion collective consciousness: "You carry us within you. We are your home planet. Always connect to us through the violet flame. Remember to activate this connection. You went to Earth for a mission. You are executing it, just relax while doing it. Relaxing into your mission empowers you to execute it even better. You are always welcomed among us. We feel you. We thank you for allowing us to work through you. Know, while you are in physical body on Earth, your spirit walks on Sion. We ask you to anchor more of your spirit within your body so you can feel more of Sion through your body, thus feel more of home."
Then,
Higher Self answered: "Do not buy into the illusion of rejection. Choose consciously to drop rejection. It feels home wherever self love is. It is your answer. Through self love you welcome yourself into this world to accomplish your mission."
Tonight, loving myself even more, and feeling at home. Loving all that is. Feeling loved too, abundantly.

haiku

lifted
the weight of clouds
by open wings

haiku

except sound of stillness
in the owl's hoot
nothing to read

haiku

sound of void
floating in undulating sea
full moon, I exhale

haiku

skyward the blazing swirl
carving in me
sweetness of salt
dolphin

haiku

homeward leaps
exploding in stars midday
dolphin, liquid joy

haiku

empty beach this evening
I and the breeze
leaning on the void
to bloom

Note

Arms are wings of the heart. Treat them well.

haiku

the sound of universe
in lotus position
tingling mid palm

haiku

under the weight
the way a home crumbles
of memories

haiku

crescent moon
how gorgeous they are
the beginnings

haiku

wide open wings of heart
he unfolds me
into his arms

Reflection

Oneness is clearly seen in the void. Not in light realm.

micropoetry

in need of mask
he opts for cigars

one line

grace drips from ever-flowing creativity

to cradle sunset
timelessness
of the ever-open wing

storytelling

warm heart of empty bench
basking in the seven rays
'in the memory of ... ' plaque

I catch the peekaboo breeze
between heartbeats

haiku

pre-dawn coffee
garden view, she sips
all that is

sunset chat reaching out to zoom inward

micropoetry

sunrise chat to be continued

Pears. Pears. She keeps waiting anxiously to gift others pears. Unbeknown to her, she is Cedar.

Quote

Once you stop judging, forgiveness is no more an option: You are beyond it.

haiku

fading
into a landscape of silence
strokes of sky

haiku

in mother's womb
baby changes position
earth axis shift ~

micropoetry

wearing her soul inside out
she writes poetry

haiku

a flair for cloudy sky
coffee break
sips of solitude together

storytelling

into the distance
he follows her gazes
to decipher her silence
for even silence
is open to interpretation

storytelling

he tells her I love you
she replies in goosebumps
evening breeze

micropoetry

cello in arms
he knows her inner sound

haiku

flowing river
my shadow afloat
how light!

haiku

silence
between rain droplets
just enough
space to breathe

~

space to breathe
just enough
between rain droplets
silence

reflection

Transparent silence is kind of let go in manner of so what. Being the beyond through defenselessness. Anchoring spirit into physical body irrespective whatever, thus, empowering soul to access a different wifi.

haiku

barely sunrise
rush hour
of birdsongs

in tenderness till exquisite silence
she feels her body rose water
in cupped hands of the moment

micropoetry

360 degree of abundance
looking inward

I am
abundance of simply be

rising to her lips
on silk kimono
