Poetry Any Day!!


I would like to thank all of my dear friends that kept visiting my blog and leaving comments on my posts these last two months. It has been a long time since I had a post but I knew that you, my friends, would forgive me. In the process I lost a few of you because I was unable to visit their blogs regularly and share my thoughts with them. I hope that they will understand that it was not by any means a lack of interest on my part. I am so busy wrapping up over 5 years worth of graduate work and I have had to make this a top priority. I would also like to let you know that I still manage to find the time to visit all your blogs regularly and read your posts. Yes, I have been following your thoughts, dreams, poetry, images, trips and news. I wish you all the best.


Open your mouth



Open your mouth and let the bugs out
Floss between the two front teeth
Make a tunnel
So you can escape
So you can breathe
Open your eyes on your mouth
Don't be afraid of its darkness
Search your tongue
And what is hidden beneath-
The words you have been missing for years
And if it's too heavy to carry the meanings
Smuggle them past your tears

I always come back for your poetry Khaled! But your graduate work is important and should rightly be your priority. I appreciate the time you take to share your poetry with us. This one is fantastic - I came back and read it again and again - the last three lines has inspired me to start a new art journal page.
