One Random thought after the other made me check this blog of mine again. Its just so easy to loose momentum when blogging. and ill tell you why,
Its because of their silhouettes ofcourse!
Their hazy yet distinguished outlines, they mark my stand. they define my posture, my stance. and yes, they are the reason i sing.
A blog without readers is not a blog at all, or so i thought.
Back in the days, when i was dedicated to my blog on msn, i felt that my stuff wasnt "out there". i felt frsutrated, yes i will say it as shamelessly, and as pompously as possible. I have a darn good thing to offer, and i can translate it to mortal linguistics and yet, the silhouettes that are present in my theatre is not enough for me to truly sing.
ofcourse, in a much poetic sense, i am just plain-dead wrong.
and yet its a pity of an excuse, but it is a reality.
We dont sing unless there is an audiance.
and im not talking about those who KNOW they cant sing, but those who KNOW that their voice can get them a standing ovation easily.
it is because of their silhouttes, i refuse to sing.
and i should have known.. not every soul is outlined in a silhouette, that even in my not-very-full theatre, i should sing. for those i dont know of, who are watching.. for those who happen to stand in the shadows, and my lime light cannot outline their silhouttes.. i should sing for them.
and more importantly,
i should sing for me.
I should go back to blogging. i missed it.

A poetic Debut- In the midst of Molecular Biology and Genetics
Its the strangest thing, how in the midst of molecular biology and gentics, amidst all the fuss and knots of pre-med, that i actually find the time ( and the inspiration for that matter!) to write.
Its the thing that keeps me sane i guess.
God bless the linguistics, and everything poetic. From music, to Art, Even medicine :)
Gob bless all our muses, be it people, objects and subjects of interest, or just our dreams.
A peice i wrote just now, un-edited- because i feel like it :)
. . .
Distinct, sharp and powerful
The Emotion that surfaced from the depth of my subconscious
Injuring the ambiance in its ascend,
It claimed its place pretentiously
And announced Incursion
I felt it
As my chest inwardly cleaved
And inwardly capitulated
Bowing to its dominance
I felt it
When my heart changed its notes of jazz
And opted a more neurotic tune
Pulsating, and infuriating
Tendons and bones, no longer could hold.
I felt it
When my limbs could no longer carry the burden of my weight
Once proud, careless and free
Now adhere to Newton's Law of gravity
I felt it
When my head's kaleidoscope of thoughts and dreams dissolved
Into a mocking nothingness
Into a mocking void
Reason escaped the boundaries of my judgment,
Like fretful ravens they diffuse into nothingness,
A black cloud, a black saturated cloud
I now pray for the earlier void again
For nothing could prepare me to the darkness diluting what has left of my faith
Distinct, sharp and powerful
The Emotion that surfaced from the depth of my subconscious
Distinct, Sharp and powerful
The pain it has inflicted
The sorrow it has submerged me in
Oh how Distinct, Sharp and powerful
Doubts can be
.....
Voice of reason, countering my poetic piece, and giving me some kinda peace:
When God leads to a Cliff,
Trsut him fully.
Only one of the two things will happen;
Either he will Catch you when you fall,
Or teach you how to fly.
Its the thing that keeps me sane i guess.

Blogging. *sighs*
http://wild-adapter.spaces.live.com/default.aspx
It gives me physical pain when i go through the archives of my old blog. Gives me real, stinging, aching, physical pain.
I truly missed Bloggin.

A Poem I wrote For a 3 day Old Baby
I Visited the little princess ( a baby girl) and her amazing mother this evening, as soon as i got back, i had to type down some of what i saw. The mother is a first time mother, and the way she held, cherished, talked, laughed and cried with her baby was beyond words.. I had to write this down and dedicate it to My beautiful Friend, the mother, and her bundle of Joy.. Little Arwa. This was a poem from the spurr of the momment, i was captivated by the emotions that overwhelmed me. its not edited, not refined.. Its just a Poem of Pure Emotions, felt at that very momment seeing them together for the very first time :) So excuse any inconsistences in any infrastructure of the Poem.
God bless them both!
________________________________________________________________
My Bundle of Joy,
Your little hands,
Hold my world
And because of you
I touch the end corners
Of the perimeter
That Bound
Mortal Happiness
When Life was breathed into you
A new life was breathed into me
And when you opened your eyes for the first time to the world,
My eyes also opened to a different world
A whole different world
Simply Because,
You are in it.
My love
I hold you now
In the embrace of my arms
So tiny
So fragile
Don’t you know,
Little one
That it is you who holds me
In the embrace of you
The beautiful Body, and soul of you
The very tiny heart of you
Quietly thumping against my chest
A reminder of a life
So precious
So Generous
You are my gift
My blessing
In you I find my self
The best person I can be
In you I find my self
My perfection
You are
My perfection
My joy
My life
I love you
Simply
For breathing
The same air that I breathe
I know then
That I share the same air
With an Angel
God's Angel
An Angel
I can call
My own
God bless them both!

Hope, for a poet.
Like thick clouds, overwhelmed.
Pregnant with rain,
Cold, heavy and unforgiving
They Plow the earth,
And reveal her secrets-
Extract it from the depth of her womb,
And they breathe, wail, and die.
Baptized sinners,
Flee from the glaze of the sun.
They are Kings of golden courts,
And the blood smeared on their hands, becomes wine.
And everybody,
Loves deep, red wine
In golden chalices.
Entombed, the living- in houses made by the dead
The Mocking bird is killed,
The ravens flock the empty gray hills,
They feast tonight on the flesh of those condemned of insurgence,
Insurgence to live,
Not to bow.
Speak to me of heroes
Speak to me of the dead
Where are they now?
. . . .
What you just read, is the result of staring at a blank windows page, not really thinking, and just..allowing myself to go tip-tap on the keypads.
I read it again, it has meaning. but it doesnt make any sense to me now. My head is a turmoil of frustrated thoughts..
It has meaning. I know it does, and it is grand. My writings, contrary to my imperfect human self, is grand.
Whats so scary.. Is that sometimes, i feel, as writers/poets, we are a tool. Just a tool. What comes from us can be the birth of somthing so.. grand. that we dont understand it at first, but reading it again, the words it self tells us a story.
We are tools.
And i am both scared,
And humbled.
Shout-outs to the UAE poets out there, You.. are beautiful. and i miss you all.
Lofecake, My dear- a special shout out to you! I miss you so freakin much its causing me physical pain lol!( notice the passionista of an arian :P)

A Frustrated writer about to Explode!
ok! so here's the freakin deal! SOME people, and i mean SOME PEOPLE * throws an angry jelous glance at sha* have been making me very jelous, verry jelous, to the point that i think im developing whats even worse than writer's block ( all my writer's out there would be familiar with this terminology, and to the non-writers out there, it basically means when your head is emptied from any decent thing what so ever to write about, and thus, you are left with a fat huge block blocking your creativity from flowing and embracing the white emtpy mocking smirking blank page)
SO ive been developing whats even worse than a writer's block, ive become FRUSTRATED. and when your FRUSTRATED, you develop this ugly knot in your tummy, and you feel like crying just for the heck of it ( and to feel like the dramah queen you really are) to just, let it out.
You see, to likes of me, writing is like.. breathing. Exageration mon cherie? let it be! Writing is the big fat ice-cream scopp that scoops all my fears, worries, pressing contemplative thoughts and whatever is in here *beats at her chest* OUT and touch that smirking mockering son of a tree of a white page and shut him up!
*siiighs*
So i have another smirking mockering son of a man who's challenging me, to make him ACCEPT english poetry. and he calls it, i qoute, "impossible". ( he's into Arabic poetry and he thinks now-a-days english poems are, how can i put it in a nice way? rubbish?)
So that came in one heck of a time, especially when im trying to fight the writer's blues ( terminology that means, writer's depression due to either NOT writing, or NOT writing somthin decent which is basically the same as the first one)
*siiighs*
So im gunna post this poetic piece with eyes full shut, cuz i know its very ruff around the edges and just.. like, bundles of words sown carelessly together to make up a being but i cannot figure what is it exactly.
This is what i call, a writer's leap of faith.
Ladies and gentlemen,
A production of a frustrated Poet..
____________________________________________________________________________________
I am..
--------
Fluttering,
Powder-frail wings
Crumbling,
In the confines of a tomb
I wish I haven’t died that night.
Weeping,
Hydrochloric tears
That plows the field.
It rains fire,
And fire rains stone.
And stone becomes dust,
And dust, remains dust
Till the rising of the dawn
I failed. And I pay- tonight.
I smother my grievances,
And beg it,
Please, no more.
Hush, now.
Sleep.
Please sleep.
Die.
Please die.
But it won't die.
Carve this heart of mine from stone
And hollow it and fill it with snippets of his poetry
With the liquid of his ink
With the caresses of his pen
I am a character
In his plays of beautiful customs,
And bullshit scripts
I wear a smile to hide the tears
And wear tears to hide a smile
I do not own my shadow
I am infused into him
He creates me
I am him
I am his life
I make his life
I am significant
And insignificant
Unworthy
To be worthy
And worthy
To be unworthy
Do you know who am I?
I am the reason you fell in love with him, stupid woman.
I am the reason you got your heart broken, you poor child.
I am the reason you laughed all your laughter,
And cried all your tears
I am words
The vein of him
The vein of a poet's world.

300
A Piece Inspired by the Motion picture and Soundtrack of the Movie ' 300 '
Specifically, the Love Story Between King Leonidas and His Queen. In this Piece i try and tell the story of their love, i think the movie overshadowed a huge part of it and concentrated on the bloodshed and battlefields ruthelessly.
In This Piece, I give Voice to the Woman behind the veils; the tormented Mother, The Torn Lover, and the Longing and Loyal Wife.
I give Heed to the Queen.
Sound Track Numbers that Inspired my Piece:
[ From the Original Motion Picture SoundTrack- A Breathtaking Composition By Tyler Bates]
-Track9 [ Goodbye my Love]
-Track24 [ Message for the Queen]
__________________________________________________ _____________________________
A king lies in my arms tonight,
His crown rests on my chest
Adorned they are by gold leaves and ruby
But tonight they leave their golden throne
And bow with his sleeping head
A warrior lies in my arms tonight,
His armor no longer shields his body
I trace his scars…
Here is where a sword fell…
Here is where an arrow plunged
And here is where a woman would rest
On his scarred and heaving chest
A leader lies in my arms tonight
His men would know sleep no more
Their shields glisten in the cerulean night…
And their swords will feed the thirsty earth at dawn
He whispers not fear, nor death
He whispers only of me
Of me alone…
My love, lies in my arms tonight,
I cradle him close to my trembling heart,
That he would hear not my muffled trembling cries
And he whispers,
"I lie in the arms of my love tonight,
And at dawn I will lie in the arms of the dark winged angel of death
Oh if you were death
I would love death
If you were pain
I would love pain
If you were the battle field itself
I will fight until the last breath of me…"
I fear not death
I fear not pain
But I fear that tonight; will be the last night… I lie in your arms again…
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A fallen hero lies in my arms tonight
His men carried him to me
I bring him close to my trembling cries
Tonight, I can cry
For tonight… He hears not my cries
For tonight, he lies in the arms of another…
My king, my husband, my love
I lie in your arms tonight.
