To Whom It Might Concern
To those who set
the world on fire
with an awful war,
like the falling
leaves of autumn
your masks fell
to uncover
the ugly faces.
Don't look in the mirror

About Me
About me
How can I describe this?
Blood's no more running
in my veins,
but ink.
If water stopped to exist,
I won't panic, I have words
to drink.
The crumbs of metaphor
and imagery satisfy
my hunger.
After today I won't rage,
the iambic would calm
my anger.
If no more air existed,
I won't care, I shall inhale
my rhymes.
It's Ok if all deserted me,
poetry is all that I need to fill
my times.
Location: Jordan, JOR
Favorite Poets
I favor the ones who are closer to humanity and
Poets are humanity when the world lose it.
