To Salwa

just sometimes...
you are at a loss...
a loss of words...
a loss of sentiments...
a loss of compassion...
a loss of love...
and yet there you are...
beats me where you came from...
how you dug me out...
how you decided to extend your hand...
and yet...
there is something so amazing about you...
the way you are...
the way you make me feel...
the way it feels so complete...
the way i feel so secure...
it's amazing knowing that you aren't vulnerable...
that there is someone out there...
who's heart skips a beat...
who's heartbeat is linked to yours...
who can make you smile by just being there...
where every little sentiment is glorified manifold...
you are my miracle...
the wait is over...
and here you are...
and i ain't going to let go...
not now...
not ever...
this is to a 'forever'
forever and ever...
and while there is no sunshine...there is you...
while there is no hope... there is you...
while there is no happiness... you create some...
where there is no light... your my tunnel of hope...
this is to the most beautiful soul i have ever known...
for you i trust in...
for you are you...
my princess...
forever!

Lost

sometimes...
just sometimes...
i wonder...
about the outcome of it all...
who are we?
who are you?
what is our identity?
what is yours?
are you culture specific only...
do you like interaction...
why so socially alienated...
stagnated...
today i sit here...
a grown man...
made to realize that it wasn't rosy after all...
that those streets aren't safe anymore...
that i really don't know my own neighborhood anymore...
that there are those amongst us...
who would kill...
absolutely anyone...
regardless...
what drives them?
what controls them?
what are their aspirations?
what do they strive for?
how did they end up doing this?
taking away innocent lives...
targeting foreigners...
basic criteria being your nationality and your identity being your passport...
so now we are what our documents state we are from...
ruddy brilliant...
sarcasm has always been my forte but i am a little lost for words here...
there is no essay...
no emotion...
no expression...
that can ever justify terrorism...
that can ever justify taking away lives...
of someone's mother...
someone's son...
someone's wife...
the list goes on...
the world today functions like a chess board...
and the pendulum swings spontaneously...
why is this such a tit for tat fight?
why don't we ever learn from our primal past?
just when you thought you were advancing rapidly into the new technological paradigm...
you realize that you have never been so backward...
tonight i will be up... wondering...
about what human beings are capable of...
and how they channel their capabilities...
and how horrendous humans are truly capable of being...
this is to the sweet souls out there...
you need to voice your opinions and ensure that you overwhelm the evil around you...
for this world needs people who can unite us...
for we are lost...
very very...
LOST!
