Mohamad Shamo: Favorites

I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.

DIAMOND HEART

You said I had
a diamond heart.

Is that why
you crushed it –
thought it wouldn't hurt?

TO GIVE

TO GIVE

One can only give
what one has

Be it love
or
Be it hate.

LIKE A RIVER

LIKE A RIVER

Not all rivers
end up in the ocean–
doesn't make their journey
less worthy.

Not all love
ends up in a lover's arms–
doesn't make it any less
worthy.

BURDEN

BURDEN

When a relationship
feels like a burden and
trust is found wanting

Break it before
it breaks you.
