I’ve lived in Tripoli, Lebanon, for 20 odd years and never visited the old Souks. Artisanal clothing of hijab, kaftan, and much more are available to choose from. The variety will please all possible tastes in fashion, from materials to folklore designs, representing the culture of the middle east. The rainbow of colors and materials will astound the onlooker with joy and appreciation for the embroidery.
On the other side of this market is the Gold Souk, where you can see the craftsmen working with the gold, turning it into luxurious pieces.

Vintage Champion
Breakfast is the most important meal,
Meal, so, yes, daily coffee is a must,
Must have my routine lined up into a dot,
Dot of care and reverence for health,
Health vital to survival as coffee,
Coffee is my best friend to lend,
Lend a hand in preparing a champion’s,
Champion’s nutrients in a vintage,
Vintage kitchen, where Lucy’s prancing,
Prancing elegantly from station to,
Station to gather all ingredients for,
For a nutritious meal, giving you fuel,
Fuel to attain success in your day,
Day of conflict, within and without,
Without flaying under the pressure,
Pressure of navigating social endeavors,
Endeavors that need a will of steel,
Steel, like your strength, unlimited,
Unlimited by the dire press of a lack,
Lack of self-confidence that brings,
Brings you down into the depths,
Depths of the darkened abyss, a cave,
Cave of knotted bliss of doubt.

Satan’s Bride
The bride of Satan, dressed in white lace,
Covered neck, arms, wrist, and breast,
But her ‘come hither’ looks abound on her face,
Where her Blue sultry eyes twinkle and rest
On her next victim, whose naivety
Dumps them on a crest of eternal
Damnation, as she pouts her way
Into susceptible hearts that are flug into a stall
Of manure adored rest filled with the plague
Of depression’s harbor, as she seduces
Without rest, all those having an affinity to renege
On a contract, signed in blood, that produces
Regret of lost souls, pride, arrogance
As they imbibe of her nectar, and believe
Her spiel sermon of drivel, convince
Victims with her extraordinary beauty to leave
Them panting, unthinking, as they sign
On the dotted line unthinking of their living line.

Tear Drop
Are you as invisible as ‘a drop in the ocean’,
Or are you ‘the entire ocean in a drop’?
If you feel insignificant, worthless, nugatory,
Then you’re letting the world define
You in ways that are superficial that cop-
Out, hiding who you are in a flurry
Of dichotomy that examplefies the self
In opposition to the other, needing to change
To integrate in a society filled with bias.
Visualize your being as a water drop full
Of hope, life, discipline, ethics that charge
Into a blind world that needs visionaries
Who start by expanding themselves, encompassing oceans
Simply by staying true to their standards.

Thank you, Marie, for the honor you’ve placed on my writing.
Masked Window
Dressed in her ivory maskerade ballgown,
Her golden mask, sitting holding a frown,
Wondering carelessly why their return
Was before the clock struck one.
On the window seat, she sits, draped
In her creamy embroidery locked
In wonder, as she gazes through the darkened
Sky lit by a brilliant moon and stars, dangled
In clusters, creating images and a haze
Of moving light surrounding the blaze
Of hope and wonder that are cause
For our betterment and flays the craze
Of depression’s loneliness that she
Left behind, as the music was too loud a bee,
She stirs from her pose of repose to see
And appreciate the beauty and comfort that be
Her succor as she contemplates
The dichotomy of a world at wars
While the other lives freely and creates
Memories, while the other loses or dies.

Heart’s Key
Double acrostic
Healing, heavenly heart, reveal
Every window leading Key that’s
Avariciously leaping into Every adventure
Relatively unscathed, Yet, Hearts need adrenaline
To stave off the stagnation of status quo, resulting in
Siesmic depression, unless the key fits the heart.
