A sea of clouds beneath me
Space and sun and sky above.
Within the belly of the airbeast,
In the cabin beyond first class,
I view the world mysitified
through the triple glazed glass.
In the distance another flies
Like a master of the air,
Much larger than its flesh ancestor;
It goes by with white mist flair.
Mountains in their earthly glory,
Deemed hills from this height
Yet I am awed at their beauty
When in view of their might.
The people stare at the planes above, like little girls and boys,
from houses that like sprinkles dot the plains down below;
If not awed by the sight then annoyed by the noise.
Do not think I do not know
of the love and care you give;
For every smile you send my way
is another reason yet to live.
Do not think I do not know
of your sacrifice and pain;
For every tear that you shed
is my sorrow and my shame.
Do not think I do not know
of my childhood years
when you would hold me in your arms
and snuff away my fears.
Do not think I do not know
that you doubt my love
and I know it may not show
but I do mother; I love, love, love!
You.
Burn away oh Destroying Fire
Consume to your heart's desire
Burn away the sins of men
Burn every paper, sword and pen!
Cleanse the land of their deeds;
done for their pleasure and not for their needs!
Return the Earth to before this all;
Return this Heaven to before the Fall
In the ash life shall flourish
The budding plants our remains shall nourish
Make haste; This situation is dire
Burn away oh Destroying Fire.
There are precious hugs all around
And merryment abounds!
So hug those closest to you
Not in blood, but in distance too
No matter the race, culture, gender, colour
Hug it if it moves and at the gloomy holler:
'Happy hug day you insolent boar!
Haven't you ever heard spread love not war?!'
Have you seen her standing there
with her tanned feet and sun-kissed hair?
Have you seen her bathed in light
Bright red tresses silvery bright?
Have you seen her graceful dance
flawless in motion; a gazelle in prance
Have you seen her lying there
'neath the willow's leafy stare?
Can you claim to know her more
when I have heard her sighing snore?
In my eyes the love is shown
for the sister I have never known.
Take me away oh Winds of Change
Take me somewhere far and new and strange!
Take me where your whim demands;
Your wishes are my life's commands!
Show me things I have not seen!
Take me where I have not been!
Teach me something I did not know
Show me to walk and sleep and grow!
I do not doubt your strength or power;
In my blood the earth may shower!
But do not leave me in this age
Take me away oh Winds of Change.
Storm clouds loom a day ahead;
The horizon clouded mist.
Water-dust sprayed on thick
The farmer shakes his fist.
The sun, behold, has gone from view
The sky covered gray
Tension mounts step-by-step
The crops will rue that day.
The procession rolls thickly up
black battleships light as air
War cries sound off distantly
The birds go past with flair.
Time has come abrupt to hold
A fact no clock can defend
Silence lasts a fleeting moment
before the storm decends.
A flicker of wind is all that's left
of the world that used to be.
Yet it left behind a certain beauty
That no one dare set free.
Purpose with a capital 'P'
Oh the hardships you inflict on me!
I cannot find you anywhere-
between my toes or in my hair
Why do I carry on
the search for purpose when purpose is long gone?
There is no reason-no how or why-
to be here - but I cannot die.
The logistics are simple enough; as such-
My parents loved each other very much.
But what is my reason-my excuse
To take up reasources - what's the use?
I do nothing at all -not the giving
It seems my purpose of being is the purpose of taking
but, what if - and hopefully I am not faking-
what if my purpose is the purpose of making?
Not the taking nor the giving-
But the simple
It sprints and crawls and passes by
In the blink of an eye
It will bend and shift and twist
and before our eyes disolve to mist
A second, a minute, a day, a year
Time is something we all hold dear
But for all we thought we knew about it
Is, quite frankly, naught but shit.
When I go home
I see
The world spread out before me
Reaching for the sun
As Neptune and Uranus clash
Embracing beneath the baying moon
When I go home
I smell
The salt fish welcoming,
The proud cedars towering,
The bread baking and cheese making
And the pollen breesing above the mountain.
When I go home
I feel
The welcome love of the chilling ice
Not bothered by freezing toes or a sneezng nose
I welcome it with open arms
As my feet sink into the beach sand
When I go home
I wish
To stare at the fireflies
As they buzz with electric light
To melt into the fertile soil
And be known among the shrubbery.
When I go home
T
Sit back, relax;
Drink some tea
No worries to bother me!
I am high,
I am mighty;
My best friend is old Jackie!
Stand up, jump up
Let's all party!
No curfew to confine me!
I am tall,
I am proud;
I am free as a cloud!
Rise up, trash up,
Don't be tidy!
There's no one to repremand me!
I have spirit,
I have soul;
I don't have to go school!
Teach me, scold me
It's no use!
There's no one way to control me!
I am wild,
Untamed;
Lions have nothing on me!
Sing and shout
For the world to hear!
Listen when I speak!
I am whole,
I am content;
I don't need anyone to complete me!
Run, escape
Move out of my way!
I am a force to
They drift among the unmarked graves,
Dirt and stone and shadow.
To Him they are His earthly slaves;
To us mere ghosts in a meadow.
They mourn their dead with unshed tears
For they know not where they lie.
Forbidden to search by unmasked fears;
Their souls are left to fly.
Screams of innocence fall on many ears
They fall and keep on falling
For none so futile as deaf tears
When silence is dominating.
Forced to a life doomed in death
Empty as a hollowing cave.
With one last suffering breath
None too wise to say:
Mind you may be impaired
Soul you may be abandoned
Heart you may not care
But body you are stranded.
You have been married Oh so many years!
Oh so many years! and shed many tears,
Shared many joys,
Snuffed many fears.
You will go on for Oh such a long time!
Oh such a long time! and always be prime
Dandy and young
Like a nursury rhyme.
You are in heaven and Oh so in love!
Oh so in love! Love white as a Dove
Pure and immortal
Love unheard of.
You have had kids Oh two many kids!
Oh two many kids! fresh as summer orchids
Who you loved and cared for
Even preserved their bibs!
You will celebrate many a day Oh how joyous a day as this!
Oh how joyous a day as this! yes a joyous day it is
Full of love and joy and unshed desire
For
Brave, untroubled; an adventure awaits me
Past the awkwardness of puberty;
Wisdom has not yet burdened me,
Yet knowledge has come to set me free.
How wonderful it seems to me
How glorious it is to be fourteen.
I feel the power in these young arms of mine,
How I wish to jump up and climb the vine.
I will not submit to your confine
Never to waste a second in such a perfect time.
How cruel it must seem to thee
Never again to be fourteen.
Life doth strut and gloat of beauty,
Death hath not yet marred the scenery.
All around me, all so cheery
Eyes do sparkle and shine with mystery
Breathless gasps can be seen
All a-wonder to be fo
She is born of the Devil
Yet they all call her beautiful;
Come to upset the peaceful
Workings of Forks Highschool.
Her scent lures and traps
Our hero's hopes and dreams
She tears his heart out at the seams.
Her thoughts so shallow
and self-deceiving;
She lies herself into believing
Her own superiority.
She indulges in false modesty
More than a drunkard does his wine;
At complements she turns bright red
While secret pleasure remains unsaid
And she laughs like they are the fools.
She leads the boys astray
And turns the gold dawn grey;
Ungrateful she wines away
Like she is the only one
Who deserves the sun.
Late at night,
I think therefore I am!
A true phrase? I think not!
Ah! I think!
Therefore I am?
A rock does not
But is!
I do
And am!
We have a problem, my friend!
Let us think,
Ah! I love the word,
Of thinking.
Ironic, no?
The mind thinks,
The body does.
And those of brainless bodies
Simply are
And perhaps forever will be.
But thinking,
A lovely thing to do,
Dies with the body.
A mere animated object
Of flesh and blood.
A shame that we should think,
No pun intended,
Of ourselves so highly
For it will not last,
but die,
Until, at last,
We are
And forever will be
Thoughtless -
Dead.
Dear scrounger,
On behalf of Mr. Salameh, students and staff we sociably solicit you to desist all sauntering around the premises and strictly instruct you to study systematically and fastiduously for all impending examinations susceptable to subjection onto all subjects of the SABIS system of schooling beginning with chemistry. It is stipulated that you listen scrupulously while Miss Mouska measures the solubility of salts in sulfurous acid and science instructors state that stationary substances must submit to Newton's second subpoena.
Furthermore, we demand you deliver a discursive essay of dilatory dimention describing the daily deeds
A bird that flies high above
A bird that sings of pure, bright Love
A happy chirp, a drop of dew
That beheld such beauty - so very few
Of pain and hardship I know naught
For joy and youth hold every thought
You see me play, you see me fall
You see me stand, straight and tall.
A flower unfurls its bright rose-petals
A flower invites all sorts of beetles
A petal dropping a lover's kiss
So very few have known this bliss!
This is the bliss of ignorance.
With the call of the morning mist, flowers begin there bloom. Held high towards the skies like puppets suspended over the ground by puppeteers, the flowers danced lazily with the wind. Butterflies, amongst the other insects that inhabited the beautiful garden, fluttered to the pedals of these devious blossoms. The sun spread its warmth over the soil, and with its intense glare it shined off of the threads of a perfect spider web; making sparkles shine abruptly at the stems of the flowers from where it hung. The prosperity of the garden was wicked and sublime, and the rusty metal bars that fenced it now held no barrier to its growt
Picture this now, if you just may
This dashing girl, she walks your way
But hold your feet, you mustnt go near
Thus births a script but from one jesters tear
A man whos looked down on, he is but a clown
A man used for humour, he never could frown
Or off goes his head for he failed at his task
Nobody knows him from under his mask
You see this jester here is a different sort
For this jester he sits alone in his court
A lower class man, who has nowhere to turn,
But then theres this girl, theres his reason to yearn
This girl whom he loves, she has ties with the king
Shes too far out of reach, his feeling
Brave, untroubled; an adventure awaits me
Past the awkwardness of puberty;
Wisdom has not yet burdened me,
Yet knowledge has come to set me free.
How wonderful it seems to me
How glorious it is to be fourteen.
I feel the power in these young arms of mine,
How I wish to jump up and climb the vine.
I will not submit to your confine
Never to waste a second in such a perfect time.
How cruel it must seem to thee
Never again to be fourteen.
Life doth strut and gloat of beauty,
Death hath not yet marred the scenery.
All around me, all so cheery
Eyes do sparkle and shine with mystery
Breathless gasps can be seen
All a-wonder to be fo

I have not had enough life experience to decide this yet.
Hello fellow deviants. I'm very very sorry for my long absence. Due to the lack of electricity and internet in Lebanon, I fell very far behind on my messages and deviations, and when I came back, it was directly to school and the chaotic mess of senior year of highschool got to me. I am overworked and overstressed and for some reason, find that I love it (probably due to the fact that when the going gets tough, I stop and think 'it's my last year' and it pretty much gets me through any shit life can throw at me. :P) But, the good news, I'm now on vacation and so will be clearing out all my messages. I will get to all your deviations, journals
Hey friends, I'm currently in the land of my ancestors. :D Internet is sparse and inconsistent. :(
My activity is going to be low due to lack of available internet and not to mention electricity. But i'll try to get to all your deviations and replies and such. :D
I'll be back in Qatar in about a month and a half or so.
But i'm happy here :D
It's like a live comedy show with at least ten people in one house at any given moment, and that's if I'm lucky :) Conflicting personalities and outdated thinking all contribute to the ever present hilarity especially when people start to contradict themselves or completely shame the name of logic =P.
Hey guys, I know I disapeared for a while there. Just to let you know, I'm still alive and well for some unknown reason.
I'm really sorry about that. I've had a busy schedule with school and the like and a hectic week and I've been experiencing random headaches that made me feel horrid, not to mention the fact that I've been living off comfort food and that just made me feel worse later. :( Not to mention that the weather here is horrid. It's so hot and opressive right now, you can barely go outside so I've been stuck in school or at home and that just added to the misery of it.
I've been in no mood to appreciate art so I've sort of put it
