A word that does not exist in the English...
Ya’aburnee Arabic – Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means “You bury me,” a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.
Even the open-hearted have a trial to face.
Take deep breaths, close your eyes, and imagine...
Where you think you’ll end up, can tell a lot about how you see yourself right now.

"Hip-Pop"
Here’s the rap-poem which I entered into my county Literary Fair last year and won first place in the county. It’s a reflection on today’s hip hop.
I used to live in a battlefield of words
Where young minds would rush in like herds
Grabbing their swords, they slashed their pain
Ink spilled, on the field, leaving bloodstains

A Night to Write

It’s just difficult to have
This fragile lump of clay
And be the one to break it in half.
So I stand simply speechless
