Community Poem – Book of 2013, Chapter 1

I am numb, the cold eats at my heart without mercy
And I am left with the flattery of your empty love
At the gulf of life, I come to shore
And like breaking waves make no change to the beach
Devious logic makes no change to a speech
Eyes heavy, feeling sweaty, fan’s broken.
Buzz buzz CLAP! Killed it!
Things to be killed are things not to be meant
Kill the truth not the facts
What measure is used to make fact
Fact? the non-falsifiable fact, lacks, in validity
But most of the time the truth hurts more than heals
Life is a conversation with God, and you are His poetry
Life is music and you are the melody
Life is a journey, so be adventurous
Get out of your comfort zone to where the magic happens
The magic… comfort zone,
You know what, magic happens in my comfort zone
But don’t get too comfortable, or you will slip and won’t be able to atone
** fil aakhir almawdou3 ma khateer, al7aya zat nafsaha ma khateera
Yes time will leave you wondering how you got here so fast
And time won’t be held until it has past
Then you’ll be free to reflect on what has become
*** al7ub akhlaag awalan.. qabl an yakoon mashaa3ir
Because it infuses the soul with a masquerade of ever eternal dreams.
** Translation: In the end, this is not serious, Life itself isn’t that serious
*** Translation: Love is a virtue, before being a feeling
