fanning out sunbeams
a strip of clouds
walks me over the horizon

Right Play

flock of dove
right ~ left
the breathe plays me

tail of sun
crystal blue notes

' , '

moonwalk-
his fingertips

.

First fights -
a shell closes on its pearl.
Even though darkness,
it is still there.

,,

slippers' coldness -
past a nightmare
empty drop of warmth

necessary to cut through the haze
gripped by abscence

'''

ringtone -
the present wins me
back to our past ...

The Song of Loss

snowflake upon snowflake
swan's dress
orange light
be ready to wait
or run into thoughts of Blake

tears to populate the lake
exile window view: all the distance
between me & me
a choke over jazz notes and a gaze
seeping through the other Blake

Lebanon 25 January Note

Burning tires to cut roads -
Do they think toxicity differentiates
between opposition lungs and theirs
Once again stupidity flows freely

|=|

self tarot reading
a game not played
empty garden bench
crossed by
ants trails
shadows tick the tree
spring breeze search
within me
"the cave too long in"
shuffled words
... yes, kangaroo is coming
door bell & now shouts
weaning them off keyboard

rear-view mirror

school bus
at my red light
loudly spring tail
forgotten alphabet
in rhyme stillness
too loud

~

a lullaby
crossing the moon
her tear
and his fingertip
awaken stars
no blanket
warmth of distant memories

//

narrow alley
higher the pitch of wind
to pinpoint the shadowless

Personal Note to Mommy & Daddy 2011

plaster cast, sofa-ridden
shuffling steps
of memories

20 Jan the day
she traveled light
missing the yearly visit

pine cemetery
wind blows
a faraway rain droplet, needles cluster

the freshness of her scent
peeled fruit platter within reach
copycat tactics to expel my nightmares

once upon a thousand dew ago
rivulet of rose water
inhabits its bed

expanding mist
all engulfed by fog
all is all once again

22 Jan, he traveled light too
outgrown bamboo
more leaves to shiver, too many

love flutters  ~  with the morning light  ~  closer to the end scene

wW

damp corner
drenched in sad songs
footsteps freeze
yet the wind blows
anger, what a relief to act

Welcome to Leb January 2011 or ...

all cars stuck
behind the garbage truck
Lebanese politics on radio
harmonic stink
bleep, peep & beep


martyrdom sold
to the higher bidder
what leaks is a played card
stupidity of non learning
"buzz off"


a bee
along fingertips
cedar forest
within me
breeze to breathe

'

to the rose
path of shivers
all senses explode in one
dew

Dedicated to Saoud

morning vigor

to hold your face

tree branches

palm within mines

sandwich

nibbling kisses

playing home

real fun

kangaroo

tender gaze

being home

life

circa two months

many scratch lives getting ready

to re-member

Dedicated to Nibal, Kiki & Lila

midnight promenade
a little bundle
seeks, moves & corners
big sister living her dream


letter of apology
fluent in mistakes
to be framed with love & smiles
"grounded" that alien word


within her chat              flowers  bloom               along Kiki & Lila

plaster cast journey

Plaster cast -
thoughts' errand
painted sofa

heparin -
even the mind
broken

lover's  essence -
intimacy of emergency
sparks, modesty, utmost beauty

friends' light -
sunny day
even in confinement

poetry -
within illness
insistence to fly


blog window -
reading me
in between scribbles

reader -
felt presence
yet undecipherable

nip/tuck -
me in the mirror:
Overcoming.

~ Peeling Heartbeats

full moon
magical drop gliding my spine
swollen sweetness

silk road
infiltration
secrets' wing, such lightness

murmuring toes
dipping me in wonderland
fairies dust

fingertips' wind
irregular breathing
kites' race to flirt the bluest sky

.
.
.

twinkle, twinkle
more then eternity dripping from
a fractal moment
peeling heartbeats ~

,,,,,

breeze
flirting
lollypop field

I am fingertips
petals' sensation
depth of blue beyond horizon

nodding eyelids
to flash smiles
such a tender gaze

a koi outruns pond's ripples
along clouds
giggles
