3h o clock, and yet..

Let's see!!

lately i don't sleep a lot
because i am thinking of you

and i can't wait every night
to fall asleep
to start dreaming of you

and between this and that
i am loosing my mind,
my job,
my weight,
my days,
my nights,

and you.

Life must end now!

[continued]

God who created the universe in 7 days

is required, today,

to end it all in 1 day.

please, urgently.

[done]

Successful, for once.

Well,


Next time you have to fail,


Kindly try, for a change,


Failing your next failure


All right?

[...]

to be continued

Blasphemy, Oh blasphemy!

Yes, it is true...

it has been a while
since i last visited a church

but what good does it do?
my God,

if God for me is you,

and if in my little humble house,
everyday,

i thank God for having You

yes, it is true.

Sorry for that.. sorrow.

Fatal enough,

the eventual end of every happy moment is sorrow,

"The" sorrow itself..


Why don't you smile little soul,

for your tears will start dropping

soon,

again.

The windy truth

She said: it's hard

it's oh so difficult.

what shall we do?


He said: Honey,

just think about it..

without the winds,

without the waves,

the ship will never sail

ever..

ever thought about that?


She said: i love you,

my little philosopher.

Rules

Rule n:01: your eyes.

Rule n:02: your smile

Rule n:03: your scent

Rule n:04: your hands

Rule n:05: ...


you rule honey,

you rule.

My birthday.

today is my birthday,
tomorrow is my first day
and after is the second day
until next time
until next year
when again
it is my birthday
and again my first day
and after my second day

and yes, it is a long way
hopefuly.

Déjà vous.

He: Have we met before?

She: I guess no.

He: I don't know why

but i felt somehow,

somewhere,

in my heart,

"j'ai déjà vous!!!"


Beirut, 09/08/07

07 07 07

..: Ain't that day a special day?

...: No, ain't necessarily so!

..: then when?

...: not now, not then

..: and numbers, for you, don't even "count"?

...: they do!!

..: and?

...: 1 2 3 go!!!

..: ??

...: i said go.

Out of order

" Dear Guests,

Kindly be advised, that heaven is closed for renovation;
and for that matter, hell as well."

How nice it would have been
if that note you read,
the moment you showed up at the door step,
and knocked?

How nice it would have been,
if then, you turned around
and just came back...

my friend, the actor
my dear friend,
honestly, your final act
in fact,
i hate.

[Th]is a point ment.

Last time they met,

He said:
"Can you see the deep blue sea?"

She said:
"No it's too deep, it's impossible to see."

He said:
"Look, look ahead, can you see?"

She said:
"No, i can't, i am afraid i can't!!"

He said:
"Look ahead i said, look at the horizon far ahead.

For depth isn't necessarily downwards."

[...]

and left.

0.5 times Two = You

Since you are my half,
my other half, as you like to say

why do i then,
every time you leave
feel so heavy?

and why,
when you show up again,
do i feel light, so much light..

i never liked maths anyway..
and that i have to admit

so for me and from now on and on

0.5 x 2 = You

and only you.

What to do?

Smile,

and only smile.

[...]

maybe one day,

Beirut will smile back at you.

What to do?

Go ahead,

Me and you,

WE have a long way to go.

why don't you go?

and i, eventually, will follow you

or

No.

Lately when i write

i can't really tell,

i am

You know..

01. amazing how short a love can be and how long the disappointment
02. amazing how short a sentence can be and how long the grief
03. amazing how short a kiss can be and how long the effect
04. amazing how short a visit can be and how long the trip
05. amazing how short a discussion can be and how long the silence
06. amazing how short a dance can be and how long the hug
07. amazing how short a year can be and how long a day
08. amazing how short a day can be and how long a moment
09. amazing how short a sight can be and how long the fight
10. amazing how short a distance can be and how long the gap

how long the gap ... ... ... will last?

i no "longer" can bare.

Dark lights

The beams of your sunshine casted on my face the shadows of a doubt.

And there was rain, again.

Site seeing... clear

Amazing how sight can affect you
and how amazingly,
it can affect me

I am talking here
about first sight,
and referring then to the second sight,
that would probably
End down in the third sight..

Beirut, April 07

Left right..on time

It's been a while since you left
Maybe you have not noticed yet
But
Eventually,
It’s been a while since you left

And while you left,

Things have become right
Right here

All right?

is it me?

if God all mighty
would have known
and i am surprised he did not

if God all mighty
would have figured
and i am surprised he did not

if God all mighty
would have realised
and i am surprised he did not

if God all mighty
would have settled
without
that whole "believe in me" game
that whole "love me" claim
that whole "the one and only me" aim

and i am surprised why
he did not.

is it only me?

Power of Words

You're here
You appear

your eyes
your lips
your hips

you''re gorgeous
you're fabulous

your mascara
your hands

you're beautiful
you're marvelous

your style
your hair

and then,
only when,
you talk.
why?

i only realised yesterday
your eyes.
god
your eyes

your eyes cost a fortune

i only realised yesterday

your eyes should go public

invest in your eyes

i would.

Tears of Fears

What a shame.

I laugh Life...

I laugh Lebanon

What a shame.

She: you know what?
He: what?

She: i think we have reached the bottom
He: the end you mean?

She: I was so clear and specific
He: the bottom?

She: yes.
He: good, so can we go back up?

She: exactly, i am
He: hein!

She: and You, you are staying here.

Believe me: Believe me not.

Yes i know,
My mistake.
i should have told you
that "i love you"
in a less convincing way
now what can i do
if you,
you actually
believed me.

Damn me for being "that" credible !!!

And isn’t it empty, that case?

Yes, I know

Who would have thought,
And definitely,

Not you.

Isn't it fate?

Look but don’t,
Don’t touch the dead,
Look but don’t,
The dead in bed,

Don’t help,
Don’t care,
Don’t pity,
Don’t pray,

Don’t loose your time,
On an easy prey,

For he has chosen
Not to live no more,
For he has chosen,
The final score…

Look but don’t,
Don’t touch
the dead,
Is dead.

Mud on white,

Tonight,

Lady of all dreams,
Lady of his screams,
What if you try,
if you only try,

Not to stain that white,
Only for one night,

Tonight.

Cross my heart,

Did anybody ever cross your mind...

hoped to die, there?

anybody else but me,

The story of my lies

Once upon a time.

Twice upon a time..

All the time...

Till the end of time,

you wake up,

in her bed, by her sleepy head.

Nothing funny at all.

24 stupid hours,

Today is the 5th,
and april is the month.
Today is not the 1st,
and surely not the eve.

You, people consider that,
the 1st is yet to come...
seconds away, 3 then 2 then 1,
happy and merry for some...

I, from that moment on,
will start to count again,
today is the 5th of april,
tomorrow is the 2nd of jan...

what difference a day makes,
24 stupid hours,
today is not the eve,
today is not the eve,

and as for you my love,
for my adam you are the eve,
for my adam you are the "one"
the 1st of jan.. that never was...

happy new year,
and for that matter,
two thousand and six...

I do, I do, ..

I don't love you,
i don't.

i don't want you,
i don't.

i don't need you,
i don't.

i don't miss you,
i don't.

i don't mean a word i said,
i don't.

I am bored,

I am bored,
Tell me a story
" ...
Once upon a time,
In a restaurant in the old town,
Just around the corner, after all the tables line up,
The restrooms.

And on a door leading to the men restrooms,
Where that sign states: MEN.
Was a young white man standing,
And standing he was.
All day long, all through the night,
New years, old years, standing

But…
What no one ever knew,
What no one never noticed,
Is that he had another occupation.

The "white man standing" was in love.
He was in love, yes.
With the lady standing in the other side of the corridor,
The "white lady standing",
On the ladies restrooms door.

All day long, he tried to get a glimpse,
But that door would not stop revolve,
Each time it stopped, it revolved again... and again
He never really had a chance,
To look at her, or even express,
his thoughts on love, his thoughts on her love...



One day,
One normal day,
He decided to leave the door for good.
He had to say he loved.
He had to say he dreamt.
He had to say.

He pulled, he pulled hard
As hard as he could,
But no way he would,
Go off the door.

Calling the lady he tried,
So desperately he tried,
The lady was busy hosting,
Ladies in and ladies out.
Ladies need make up,
Make up takes time.
Make up takes her time,
The "white lady standing" in the sign.

One day, one boring afternoon,
A technician was on sight,
Heading towards him.
A brush in his hand,
A brush filled with paint,
Blue paint.

The technician grabbed this metal thing
And swept him off the door,
The sign man was to leave,
The sign man was to travel,

But…
Who was right next to him
The "white lady standing",
Who was now lying on her back.
She also was swept.
She also was sent.
Now is the time he said
To reveal all the words he had,
Bubbling in his white tiny head.

One thing he did not know.
The same thing she did not know.
A sign can’t speak,
A sign can’t reveal,

They just lied there, all dressed in white,
They just lied there, lovers of the silent night.

The tray traveled.
She was supposed to.
To a factory.
The white couple standing were melted down,

… Onto one big road sign,
A sign that said:

"Dead end."

..."

Discrepancy, oh discrepancy..

i once had a lover
but eventually i don't anymore..

she wanted to fall in love,
...
but i,

...

i wanted to rise.

so...

u know.

" Ray..."

a
person
never
really
realises
the
importance
of
sunshine
in
his
life
until
he
sits
alone
in
the
cold..dark

"The end"

the end of the world to me
is right where u live.

the end of the world to you
is where i am at now.

it is a small world after all
so does it really matter?

where it starts all
or where it all ends..

as long as each one takes care
of his end.

and hope that one day
if we are lucky enough,

no end or start,
no world at all,

would ever end.

The love "birds"

Once upon a time, there was a boy.
Once upon a time, there was a girl.
One day, one gloomy day,
The girl decides.
She wants to fly.


The boy said: "fly?"
"I want to fly"
Why did she decide just now to fly?
Fly as u like was his reply.


The next morning, she woke up early
Spread her hands and ...


The boy woke up,
And found his love down under,
With a broken neck.


She could not fly
She thought she could
She could not fly
He thought she could


For they have spent so many days
so many shaded days together,
on that tree.

U know What ...

People come and go,
...
...
...
...
...
...
Actually,

they just go.

... mates

Some days,

I feel I live aside.

They must be happy the way they live,

Those earthly creatures.

I wish one day,

only for one afternoon,

I could sign in.

And now,

Everything has an end, even this very sentence.

[...]

...

What to say when all is sad and done.

...

Solar,

The story of a sun blinded by her own glow,


...
What a shame,
Damn ego of me,

little me.

Reflecting the inner beauty of you

Defeating the flower’s beauty in one issue,

The issue, the ephemeral,

Eternal you.

Nonsense sentence ...

I realized today, only today,
That no deeper sorrow has ever been,
No greater has ever lived, died and lived.
I bend my little self before the essence of all, all of us, all of You.
Embrace the nonsense of me.
Amen.

Remembering Becket,

Waiting for you, Godot came.

... en attendant,

I already told you , Godot came,
I wait for Noone else in this station but you,


You, nobody else but you.

Agronomy

...


The human being, the most vulnerable plant on earth.


...

" No one's " arch,

The world is drawing to an end.
The clock is running wild,
I am waiting for Noah.
Flood is the only possible way out.

A flood versus a flood.
People are blinder and deafer than ever.
People are louder than ever.
There shall be only one path, down.
Hoping that rain would be enough,
For all the deficiencies around, all around.

We expose ourselves to God above
And Noah is waiting for the green light,
Building an arch is inevitable,
Not much wood is needed,
A small arc is to be built.
Passengers are few, maybe no one at all,
Just some plants, some harmless creatures,
Men will drown, women will too,

All are to be drawn to an end.


Dubai, spring 2004.

Nobody's perfect .

The only mistake God made during the seven days of Creation,
was the introduction of human beings,

The world would have been just perfect.

شو حلو صوت الخشب محمل عضهرو التعب
الكرسي قاعد، عم بهز شو بهم، أنا وصلت

شو حلو لون الأبيض بوقته طل الأبيض
لو خلصت أيام العز شو بهم، أنا وصلت

تعمدت ؟ ما بعرف ناسي حبيت ؟ يمكن ، أكيد
القصة ضاعت براسي شو بهم، أنا بقيت

منهم قبلي فلوا، راحوا اللي هروا الصبح بكير
متل الخريف بآذار لبسوا عباية حرير

فلت معهم، هجت معهم الوقت اللي كمل وقف
العقرب زهق من الحيط ضيع بالعد وخرف

مبارح وقف صوت الخشب ومعه هالكرسي وقف
بي و ولد ، كومة لعب شو بهم، دمي نشف

ما تبكي حرام الولد يقرا القصه من الاخر
امك ناطره يا ولد قلها فرحي، بيي مسافر

وبقي لوحده الخشب عم بهز، ساكت الصوت
قعدت محلي الغبره ضهرت انا، ومعي الموت
