| a woman's meditation A woman's reward rambling in her enlightening solitude. When she feels like shit she comes back to solitude of her soul and space Letting her tear lines freestyle. She has so much love Some for many,and all for one, whose love enough for her passion, her passion staring at herself in mirror woman find her care-free self naked with breast and skin calming and resting from releasing tear drops of saddened heart as her breath slowly drifting away... sticky and dried tear drops Glueing onto her face like mama's muscilaginous melon makeup masque waiting to be striped away lines of mothers and sisters passing through lonesome of nights lines of mothers and sisters whose heart shrink and stretch passionate rhythm of butterflies. Alluring salty, bitter and wet Running down the thin cheeks She choked back tear lines How much talking is enough Words are words, artificial fabrication vertigo hovering about her institution of soul ,body, mind and spirit She tried harassing her mind To concentrate at the darkness To see lights of emptiness And something absolute like sky Her Tapering fingers gathered tightly Closing her eyes into darkness Like an old woman searching for buddha inside her soul They laughed in the snow Now there isnt any snow All melt into water lines Dripped down corners of eyes At the closing canthus So... slowly.... drop...by.... drop To Mohannad and Michael. « return. |
