death of a gorgon
so I become this wrought iron
that I have forged with my own two hands.
I sharpen myself,
tip to hilt.
but
my mouth,
the very blade that can cut the sky,
chose to speak in a healers' tone instead.
I remind myself
of the violence it took
to become
this gentle.
this cup of earth in my hands,
with home beneath
my fingernails.
I remind myself
what it means to be
pierced to the marrow

The First Try
Started writing this piece of poetry
Wondering how to go with the flow
Lots of thoughts in my mind
Can’t wait for all of them to grow
As i now happen to grind
How it shall go? I don’t even know
In the pursuit of getting it together
Those words went away from my mind for sometime
But it feels like forever
I wish i could write like her
For how she puts it altogeth...

You are an artist
You are an artist
Every morning as your eyes open up
you reach for your paintbrush
unknowingly
You are the canvas
and your actions are the splatters
Inspired by your dreams
and all to you that matters
You bring to life the beauty that you think
Transforming the formless into reality
your desires turn to ink
Do not downplay the smaller things you do
as every single brushstro...

Flame-Licked Heels
I’ve been working on
Coming back from
The dead
Realising reality
Living in this world
Becoming me
I don’t have to know who I am
But I must know that I am
I am, I am, I am
I don’t have to know what I am
To deserve to be
I’m working on being,
Just being
Because I’ve been existing
Mindless, automatic, numb
Best autopilot, me
Coming back from the dead

Move on / Build a Better You
Move on / Build a Better You
Time moves forward
It never turns back
So why do we spend so much time
Stuck living in the past
Mistakes are only natural
Issues and problems to resolve
Without mistakes, problems and issues
We never would evolve
So try and be more positive
There’s nothing left to lose
The world is at your feet
Just walk the path you choose
Hold your head up high
There’...

Hello
Twice she looked, and smiled
I said: "Hello"... She replied
Before she leaves, I said: “see you”
She became blushed as the bride
Again, we met after a minute
I heard her lovely sighs
I said: "you are....", she said: right”
Shaking hands by sight
Purely, she asked to know
Are you Farag, Are you poet
I said true. But again we met
To inspire me to write
