Argument

The words floated
On a bed left undone
With sheets ruffled
Long ago
In a time
When our love
Was our manna.

Ink on Rice Paper - Mountains

Mountains

She looked up to the mountains
To where her savior might come
One riding upon the mist of eve
Gliding over a mantle of green
She never saw the figure longed for
Nor did her dreams come true
So she turned her gaze upon
The mystery hidden in her bosom

Rainbow

Rainbow

If
I can view
the world
through the eyes
of
love
It would be
colored
with
rainbows

Goodbye

Slowly our bodies move away
The touch, the smell, the lingering gaze
Home is when we are altogether
Sisters under one roof
Heart brought out of division

يا ريت

يا ريت بقول لحالي شي يوم
الحياة ماشية ما بتوقف ولا بتنطر
ليش قاعدي بعدك بالهم واللوم
زتي عن كتافاتك هالحمل لي بضر

Island of Kauai

Stable

Stable,
like the promise of rain,
And the promise of sun
After it.

The Quairing, Isle of Skye, Scotland

Dare

Dare
And in your daring
Never think twice to jump
Catch the wind
Under your wings
No matter what
Voices and souls
Lift you up 
Like a feather

Sweet Nothings

Sweet nothings
At the reach of our hands
Frivolous abidings
We can barely withstand
Yet they are the most remembered
The ones we long for
As their images wither
From our daily lore

Makauwahi Cave, Hawaii

Makauwahi Cave

a path opens up
to the past,
a peephole
into a time of long ago
spirits calling
the living,
spirits silenced
through the ages

the many goodbyes

What is it do I want to say
when your eyes meet mine
wondering why
is it so necessary
to be reminded
that we are mortals?
