Not in reality
do I walk through this forrest
not in reality
do I hear these birds
or drink this cold water
of the morning leaves
I look up
and see the green sunlight
breaking through the concrete
finding me
in my little box
I wait here
patiently
until it takes me home

Fill me.
Missing life. Empty streets. Cold hearts.
Covering your face what you once criticised on stranger's faces.
Missing love. Empty hearts. Cold air.
Covering the flowers in your heart, the strings of my guitar.
Missing music. Empty stages. Cold rooms.
Covered ears, listening to scary news, not to music anymore.
Missing passion. Empty beds. Cold skin.
Covering all lu...

A Poem for my Late Mother
I miss you
I miss your overwhelming, overriding knowledge
Your greater wisdom,
Your superiority.
I miss you
I miss the way you make me feel dumb and special all at once,
And unworthy and unworldly
And not enough.
Never enough.
I miss you
Not enough years or experience
Not a deep enough depression
Not a bad enough time.
A broken back was nothing compared to your plight
A gun against t...

Will you be mind?
My time
Is not mine
But our time
You’ve made your bed in my dreams
I lie in it
But
this isn’t me
See,
I would part with my skin
If it weren’t attached
And never look back
But
Each night when I close my eyes for sleep
I see you in my head
Your feet poke out one side of your bed
And oh,
It makes me giddy for you
And so,
I end up crawling in bes...

Missed Something
I've tried to write this
Fifty times over
Each time I get closer
But somehow still miss
I miss something
In what I want you to know
I miss something
In saying I don't want to let go
If this is goodbye
Then say it now
I'll give up the fight
I'll let you walk out
And forever
I'll miss
You
I've loved you like no other
I've never held...

دكتور عصافير (VET)
ريشه ناقصة في جناح عصفوره
إيه يعنى .. ماهـو ريشها كتيــــر
مش حيبــــــــان أبدا في الصورة
ولا حيــــكـون له كمــــــان تأثير
العصفــورة الشــــاطرة تفكــــــر
ربنا عنـــــــده كنــــــوز الخيـــر
لو تدعــــى ربنــــــــا يرزقـــــها
بدل الريشـــــة .. عشـــر قناطير
لكن العــصفــــورة المســكــيـنــة
وقـفـت تبـكـى بدون تفـكـيــــــــر
حتى اصحابها .. زعلوا عشانــها

Fiery heart
The flames licked eagerly at my heart
How long had we been apart?
It seemed a lifetime now
But truth bends in sad dismay.
I try to stare into infinity
But see just tomorrow before me.
Its all too late my psyche states
Its all gone its all to late.
My embalmed mind kisses
All that it misses and misses.
Florid in obscurity
Searching for that purity.

I'm in the gap
I think I hung myself in your tears
Yeah, the other day I realised
One noose, one tear drop - same shape.
I choked on the salt of it
eternally thirsty now
When they fell from your eyes
they looked like showers of broken glass
How I wished I could have swallowed that instead
I think that would hurt less
I’ve got 6 bruises, 7 cuts, 3 scars
I’m still counting.
But why...

longing.
my frail hands reach for you,
my heart possibly reaching too.
you are my felicity,
the feelings you strike inside me stronger than electricity.
I truly do love you,
but I'm scared you won't stay true.
nevertheless, I still want us to have a everlasting rendezvous.

Song Of Your Underground
Song Of Your Underground
This will be the song of your underground
A tune that will reach you six feet below
A tune that will reach you above and beyond
I hope you hear every note I sing
Your energy still gets the best of me
There are portraits of your face
Posted up on the timid walls of my mind
So I don't have to get over you
It's called death because it's the end
And there were moment...

Neon
Locked doors and a shaking bedpost
A trail of red lipstick leading me
To a woman that is out of this world
I need her like she needs diamond rings
I taste her on my lips
I feel her in my soul
Losing myself to her
Though she keeps slipping away
She's going out tonight to find herself
Using mixed drinks and club beats as her compass
Coming and going out of infinity
While I watch her s...

You Won’t Come Back to Me This Time
You walk to the door and I’m just sitting here,
Second guessing myself.
I see you are moving on. I fear,
I’ll be the dusty book in the back of your shelf.
You open the door and I’m just laying here,
Doubting if my decision was right.
I know I was the one who let you go my dear,
But I thought you’d be the one wh...

Feel
Make it a sweet goodbye
Make it something unforgettable
Don’t leave a note or letter
No one can ever know why.
I put an angel to bed
Who laid there so peacefully
Like a baby fast asleep.
Was it all a dream
Or maybe just a nightmare
The memory of your face
Brings me back to reality.
It’s 4 in the morning right now
My brain won’t let me sleep
And...

Until Then, I’ll Be Waiting For You
Yesterday is in the past
Tomorrow is closing in
But today is here
As we make plans for your last day.
We play at your favorite playground
Away from the busy city lights
And talk about all the fun times we had together
That are now precious memories inside my head.
As the moon slowly awakes from its slumber
I know today is coming to the end
But you grab my hand and say to me,
"Inside the...

Hurricane fighter plane dives through clouds towards the ground,
he goes down through the thick grey murk, no one can see him or knows
where he is going.
His wingmen landed some time ago and still there is no trace of him.
Is he gone, his plane so many smashed pieces of metal or burnt ash?
The dogfight was fast and swift with many planes turning and rolling
for as...

New Year - New Beginnings
FIRST STEP
All we can do makes no difference
All that we see makes it worse
All that we feel is more pain
All that we say is useless
All that we are is dust
All that we want is
Impossible unless
We take the
First step.
INSIDE OUT
I know that I loved you,
And more than a little,
But now you are gone.
I feel...
Too heartless to beat,
Too lonely to need,
Too empty to c...

I think of you on this cold winters day
when you are away from me.
The sky hangs above me
but it holds no warmth.
I need you to put the heat in my heart.
I can’t stand being away from you,
not even for a day. I just want to hold you
and to be told it’s okay.
