GOTCHA
"Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise,
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art!"
When I am hit by this cute cupid's arrow,
I find myself writing about love and romance.
I will never fight it,
I must enjoy this feeling and write on.
When cupid's arrow aims for...

One o'clockInsee wincey spy dur
Snuck up the kookoo clock
Out flew the hapless bird
That knocked the spy dur out.
Kookoo

All Words Mean More
Than What You Heard

They Say…

EXPLODE!

Too Careful…
They Aren’t

Pondering Possibilities
The question remains
Entangled, refrained
Of earth and sky
Resting on the edge
Of due or die
And then I see you
Sitting so quaint
A peaceful mention
A wandering eye
Twining each branch
Climbing high
To catch your every promise
Your words so eloquently and refined
Oh this wind struck passion
Blowing free upon the morning light
If but to find a chance
I dream a dream
Of you...

To the One I Call My MoonBader means full moon in Arabic,
but to me,
your name carries more than light
it holds the weight of my world.
My life revolves around you,
and I don’t remember
what joy felt like before you.
I pray to God each night,
quietly, endlessly,
that He grants you success in this
dunya because my love for you
means your happiness is mine.
Do you love me...

If I Still Cry Inside the Lineoh lord there are so many
mountains for me to climb
if i still cry inside the line
yet I’ve turned over
every stone in my mind
yet some things are hard to find
we shall never know this time
when there are circles in my mind
yes the world is sublime
but if I still cry inside the line
oh lord when will...

Mid Summer Blues
we thought we were ready
till the unexpected fell upon us
such high expectations
for fun and adventure
plans for get-aways
excursions and discoveries
the days and weeks go by
another summer slips away...

HoldingIt is nice to spend time alone
but it is also nice
to spend time
with a warm hand
a warm voice
on your side.
But even when I’m alone
And feeling fine with it
I welcome many minutes
Thinking of your touch
And gentle loving words
And I don’t feel alone.

hookedNicotine is making a comeback
analog cigarettes are making a comeback
so many students are nicotine positive.
Every girl has Zyn by her drink at the bar
which used to be seen as a BRO-y vibe.
I’m not taking a view, I’m unbothered by it.
because
I’m hooked as well - I might as well admit it.
I’m into placebos these days and...
