The vultures hoped for a death
As the snow filled the road
And I
Standing by
Watching it unfold
Dare I contribute to their happiness?
Dare I provide them with their next meal?
The vultures remained hungry
We could not close the deal

Fair
I come from a land with skies
So clear
Sands vast
Where no shadow can last
I come from a land that begs for clouds
For rain
Yet here I am
Half a world away
Sitting
Watching
Yet another rainy day
While my lands
Die of thirst
Irony of this unbalanced curse
Stimulus Check Equivalent in Iraq
For hours, in lines we waited
Feet bare
Flies and mosquitoes hung in the air
The afternoon sun could not be kind
As it left no shelter for us to hide
Until we got our sacks of flour and some rice
Enough to fill our bellies and dampen our cries
Whole
Oh where did my pieces go
Those that held me together
Time rubbed them apart
And so did the weather
Where did my body go
Curious I long to know
How a man melts like snow
How this beauty withers
Yet his soul
Manages to stay whole
No matter the struggle
Fig Tree
The fig tree by the house with no backyard
Always welcomed me
It was comforting and warm
Teaching me
A child I was
Not knowing death nor life
It taught me eternity
The fig tree in my grandmother’s house
Will always live within me
Fragile
It is much too fragile
That thing that you base your life on
The stepping stone
The foundation to it all
It’s much too fragile
Much too wrong
My Heart
I’ve relied on the sun to shine
The moon to come back
The stars to glow
The trees to grow
But
Each had a cycle and a rhythm
They didn’t know
How fast I want to keep on running
So my heart
I’ll have to start
With you
Heather
Standing on a bridge
Crying to the wolves
She suddenly doesn’t feel alone
Free, as they are, she was born to roam
She follows trails of her own
Calling these woods her home
Talking to waterfalls
You can see the leaves in her hair
The dirt on the dress she wears
Running free without any cares
The universe is her place
Heather you’ll never be alone
The wolves will follow you there
In the deep forest with no fear
You are free to be your own
Kids Rhymes| Hello Monsters
Hello monsters
Did you come to eat
Something salty or something sweet
?
Hello monsters
Under my bed
Did you want to crawl into my head
?
Hello monsters you look like me
I am your master
Just wait and see
I made you up in my head and heart
To bring new dreams and a new start
Found
I think
I lost you
Much too often
The thing I was meant to find
I think
I found
Much too fast
You were never meant to be left behind
My guardian angel
