You’ve heard of the Flying Dutchman,
the ghost-ship that travels the seas,
there’s countless legends about it,
a great deal of variety.

Some say it’s just cursed to wander,
a result of some ancient sin,
a crew long dead yet still...

Here comes my father;
“Sheikh Al-Arab.”
My mother made him, also, tea with milk and “gargoosh.”
Now, time to fill “al-azyar” (water clay-containers);

God made covenant with Adam 
Be fruitful and multiply and have dominion
But he broke the pact with one act
God made covenant with Noah
He would never again flood the Earth above the highest peaks
God made covenant...

Leafraker, was deep and insightful
Though through his woe, one can be spiteful
To drag his body from the depths
And succeed beyond that of the flesh
So, too he joins in mans defeat and the dawn of anew
Grasping...

winter is upon us, and its that time of year

Pain has over ran me, though it doesn’t control me.

It’s not a win or lose situation, I am lost, unguided and left blinded, uncertain of the...

Tell it to me quickly,
now tell it to me fast,
I'm running out of time,
and these moments never last.
I'm not hallucinating,
I'm not turning this page, 
until I find somebody
to justify my rage.

I'm tired of your reasons,
I...

We are the superhero's or should I say captain's planet of the earth, 
having unlimited power throughout the body.

never been able to experience the power of the flame.

Broken Dolls

Broken dolls destined to walk alone
A journey under the loveless moon
His sinister intention is to shine too bright
Blinding broken dolls by his light
Dreadfully alone wondering the night

Broken dolls from broken homes
Build broken homes of...

That's how many trees are cut down every year

The ocean becoming a smaller place

We filled our jar.
Our big, glass jar
on that shelf.

But it was never
meant to be big enough.

We made 5-star memories.
Rotten tomatoes were all over
our jar.

1st date:
Simple.
Movie & dinner.

Every other date:
Too cute for words.

We'd drive home 
through...

The needs and wants
that freedom flaunts
so worth the heavy penny
for all the cost
of each battle lost
reminds me of the horn of plenty
in which the air of our fathers fair
was one of giving and sharing

My face on the ground,
My lungs are bleeding,
Faster and faster
My hearts pleading.

What is this being?
And what is it seeking?
I cant find a door,
Or an out that im needing.

He's always searching but never knowing where to look,
He looks into fire with a gleam in his eyes,
He reaches a hand to touch...

a thousand words...

Multi colors floated by the

spoke louder than words
I was in a world of my own
where nothing existed but you

day and night,
24/7, I could

Beauty in the eye of the beholder
Rare trees and abandoned homes
Where doors are full of bullet holes
And the wicked sun tries to dye the paint
On the walls that smell like a salty water
Of the place...

Once upon a time, a dream was a dream.
locked up in my mind, left cold and unseen.
Years have passed many a moon,
night-n-gales whistled many a tune.

...and the stars swing low through the midnight glow
...and the...

(6)
With empirical eyes
I spied my demise
All bludgeoned and bloody was I
As if from a dream
Demons in eye
Came to claim my remains
My soul came willing
My soul came quick
Imprisoned by chains
My body was sick
From years of good...
