Trinity of Pain

Poem — Love, loss and grief, A trinity of pain, A storm that rages, A never ending refrain. The heartache is deep, The wounds run so true, But still we hold on, To the love we knew. For though they are gone, Their memory remains, A light in the darkness, A source of strength to sustain. So we carry on, Through the grief and the tears, Holding on to the love, Overcoming our fears. For though they are gone, Their love lives on, A reminder of all, That we have known.

Ironic Cruelty

Spoken Word — The storm inside of me takes me by surprise. It whirls and dances to unrecognizable tunes. Explosive bursts of anger crashing against my ribs, beating at the doors of my chest. Muffled screams trying to be heard, echoing through my pulsing veins, stuck in my throat, unable to come out. …

The Voice of my Heart

Spoken Word Script — My heart said, I keep beating all the time since the moment you were conceived. No breaks, no time off, I can’t stop…or you will stop. All along, I carry your pains, love, aches, heartbreaks, and fears. Sometimes I can’t help but race, knock at the doors of your chest…

Patience Is

A Poem — Slow breaths Step by step Sitting with my mind Stilling emotions Freezing time Holding on Grasping air It’s inside of me Stretching it Always present, Yet comes and goes Patience is… Smiling and letting go. What is Patience for you?

Taken

In the loving memory of Shireen Abu Aqla A horrid raging bullet Straight to the head And just like that She falls dead. All she ever wanted was to report the truth Strived for it all her youth Fighting for justice for her beloved Palestine To show the world unspeakable crimes. The aggressor wanting to inflict pain Killing with no shame Pointing fingers not wanting blame. Will the world remain silent?

ILLUMINATION

To my children, I love you. Full Stop.

They say parents love their children unconditionally, but I personally disagree. I am not saying that parents do not love their children, however I am saying it is most definitely for the most part a conditional kind of love. …

Another Step

spoken word poetry — I drew in a shuddering breath as I took a step forward. My bare feet felt unnaturally cold on the asphalt, and I paused for a moment to watch the fingers of a lone cloud. A drop of dew clung desperately to the fragile surface just before it snapped under…

Writer’s Block

A poem — The blank paper and pen, stare back at me. Demanding to be used, demanding to fulfil their destiny. The pen longing for the touch of my fingers. The paper wishing for ink that lingers. I feel the stress of needing to express, yet no words come, my thoughts are a mess. I try to call on words, seduce words, dance with words, play with words, shout at words, plea with words, push and pull at words.
