Montaha Gasir Poems

Kind souls,
In dark places.
Or pure hearts,
In dreadful spaces.
...

My mind has a trick,
It plays on me.
I look in the mirror,
What do I see?
...

A hole,
A dark, empty place.
Alone,
A suffocating space.
...

Tell me something,
I'm greatly needing.
What do you do,
When your heart is bleeding?
...

Splish, splash,
The elixir splashes.
Fire burning,
My life in ashes.
...

Innocent features,
Staring at you.
Pure intentions,
Could it be true?
...

I go through the motions,
Of raging oceans.
Trying to deal,
With tumbling emotions.
...

Sixty-five.
Fill me with shame.
They want me to play,
The hunger game.
...

Scorching sun,
And days on the beach.
Or peaceful snows,
To the sea they reach.
...

My dreams and ambitions,
So high in the sky.
But they want to ground me,
"Stay here till you die".
...
