Metronome Reality
And so my friend you now comprehend
why writing is a track where the end spells lack.
Like a metronome’s pendulum poetry is a medium
that keeps me going down this track and coming back!

Aloof
And as the fires swallowed my cries
I opened my eyes to face life’s lies.
I closed my heart and gave up tries for a prize:
to accept failures without whys and be wise
to break ties and move in smaller gyres
to avoid fires and flat tires caused by familiar mires.
Into You
If attraction were a hue
made in love to hew
a heart with a look at you
then I’m into you.
Rainbow Souls
Be the change but don’t try to change me
for a rainbow needs both the sun and rain
I Am a Rose
I am love, life's eternal rose
whose petals rest on time's calyx
to blossom in dreams.
I Am Life
Duality and duplicity are my feet
For I am life man's greatest prize or demise!
The Whys and Hows
Together with time they etch destinies
or chip cares away from minds.
Whys and hows are pain's twigs
kindling its flame to meet time's hammers.
Talking Notebook
Nights and days are just pages you
Open in me with every step you make.
There’s no way of telling if I’ll be
Everything you’ve ever wanted.
My Friend the Wind
My friend the Wind-
is a lady who changes-
personas with every dress!
You can hear her voice-
go up and down with-
every lapel and pleat!
Finjan
Finjan is the Arabic word for the typical coffee up and saucer you use when you drink Turkish Coffee. Fin is actually supposed to be fan but the pronunciation of the word changed overtime to resemble the word jin(also means genie and jan is the formal Arabic word for jinni(also Arabic spoken) or genie).
