My Ancestors

Through the cosmic haze that is the clouds of SpaceTime my ancestors looked at me with a bittersweet smile and then said: .....well, somebody had to kill the Mammoth, somebody had to die in the battle, somebody had to slay the Gladiator. But, alas. "All fighters young all fighters must, consign to thee and come to dust".

Eulogium

{My Life} To A life well lived. Twice as long as it should have been, but half as short as I would have liked, and not a minute longer.  I dedicate thee to my sense of hummer; hummed, or dry, as it were.

A Local Voice

I was born in Dubai, my voice first broke between the creek and the gulf, it was carried on the northwesterly Shamal winds, over the rolling dunes of the Rub al-khali, to quench its thirst in the oasis of Liwa, then unto the stones of the Al-Hajar mountains to find its home on the cost of the gulf and like the dhow that sailed unhindered to the cost to find it's way back home to me.

The First Chapter: A Book With No Face!

It was my arrival at the end of my sentimental journey and upon getting some horizontal refreshment for the tired soul of an idle and vertical fellow that I discover, much to my astonishment, that my need to ride a dragon upon St. George was actually a metamorphosis of a soul entangled with the curiosities of it's time. So, blowing off the groundsills I start an extraordinary journey of internal self discovery and a love for the night physic, even if it was going to kill me. Nevertheless, putting the good foot forward to put the devil into hell, I start like all the good men that came before me, with the soul purpose of serving the long and hard tradition, that is to say, immediately.

A Cure For ....

Most ailments are curable. 

Except stupidity, 

for it has ailed who were meant to cure it.

I Went With the Wind

I went with the wind, for the wind took me

Blowing, growing, as it fiercely moved me

I fathomed not when it had finally freed me 

In your loving arms, that's where you'll find me

In Another Life

In another life, we should meet in air, me and you, I will make you my wife, or maybe that is just too daily life to you, anyway, till we meet again, in another life.

On Mind Duality, Logic and other fallacies

Once you eliminate all logical possibilities, what your left with, no matter how impossible, is the truth.

 

Bountiful Lands

Mournful and empty. The heavens squirting rain
Pipes the dust all along the plain
Does my stained soul still stand
Am I lost and wasted in this God forsaken land



Yellow gold, black gold, diamonds and pearls
And all of what your soul might desires
Milk and honey, heavenly manna, golden strands
Fear not for these are bountiful lands

The Unstoppable Man

Maybe you got here by yourself. Maybe somebody contrived to get you here, or maybe it was the forces of fate and consequence that drove you to this place. It could be that it just was your destiny. Anyway, you are here now. You are a broken man with all the broken man qualities and symptoms.

Life has left him a broken man and he fit the part perfectly. There was nothing about him that hinted at any sort of future. He was for all intents and purposes useless and broken, a man that has lived past his sell by date and their is nothing sadder than a once strong and proud man ending up broken and in despair.

But there is nothing more scary and dangerous than a man who has lost it all and has nothing more to lose, a broken man that still has some dignity and self awareness wanting to redeem himself.
Broken men seeking to reinvent themselves as men of consequence to leave their mark in history could be extremely dangerous, because when you have no future and want to make one for yourself coming from the depths of despair, then there is nothing that would could or indeed should stop you or get in your way. As you have left all values, morals, and ethics with your former self and therefore you would truly be the unstoppable man.

 

Happy Eid

People of the World: On these holy and blessed days I wish for you the best that I could ever wish for, which is for your warring and fighting to cease, and for your hatred and greed to end, and for your loving and caring to start.

Friends and Family: For you I wish for all that is humanly possible to be good and beneficial for you. I hope that you get all that you wish for, and that this does not diminish from your other good fortunes.

To the special ones: This is for you, and you know who you are, and you know what I wish for.

To one and all, happy Eid

Amber on Ember

Amber on embers glowing hot red

Rubies in diamonds sit on a head

Saffron with turmeric yellow in red

Hustling and bustling Souqs not dead

Creek-Side

I stood by the creek-side contemplating rain
Harvesting the seeds that yield the grain
Yet still I found myself yearning for more
Destiny made me the architect of this lore

Travel My Feet

Tracing my steps from the northern shore
Over Al-Hajjar mountains I drive once more
In the water holes, I swim up and down
In the evermore mesmerizing Hatta town

Using the road less traveled I get to Al-Ain
In its healing waters, I linger yet again
Taking the scenic route up Jebel Hafeet
On its top I sit transfixed in my seat

Looking over the horizon forever I see
Green farms full of every type of tree
A city with people of the kindest kind
Loving, welcoming, warm and full of pride

Lukas Graham - Mama Said [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

...until

...until it breaks me or i die
 
life
    love
        pain
            suffering

One Thing

I might not know what might be coming, 
I might not know all that has been, 
I might not know whats hidden in conscience, 
I might not know all the truths, 
But if there is one thing that i know, 
then it would be this, 
It is you that holds my affection, 
It is you that catch my breath, 
It is you that drive me crazy, 
It is you that I love.

You Don't Know

I have come here today my dear friend after a long and exhausting journey, yes, I have journeyed afar, just to meet you and see you here today, for you do mean so much to me old friend, and, although we don’t know each other, and we have never meat, or even heard of each other, but we are old friends, old friends indeed.

I have walked the crocked mile, I have journeyed under a half moon, I have swam in the river Jordan, I have passed the impassable to get to you, dear old friend whom I don’t know, I have been to places so magnificently magical that it would take your breath away, and I have been to other places so foul and lowly that your breath will be taken away, and I have left it all behind to come here and see you today.

You don't know what i have been trough, you don’t know how I have suffered, you don’t know much about me, but you will, you will get to know me, you will find a way, you will raise above me, you will build your skills, you shall learn from me, you shall raise above, you shall learn from hardship, you shall become a man.

Add Value

know thyself
know who you are
know what you are
know your value
then add value
