At the old Souk and old port where the architecture reflects the Lebanese history. The city is called, Tripoli, due to the 3 doors of entry to the city. The old ports history is filled with different civilizations, archeological artifacts, buildings that represent the marriage of cultures, and blending of religions into a united people.
There are three Souks: gold, clothing, and copper that showcase the melding of history and modernity. Their beauty lies in their preservation and continued upkeep.

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.

“In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.” (Rumi)
Love’s Poetry
As light is hope and all that’s bright,
Learning to love in the sun illuminates
Your perception on values, character, that fight
To blot out negativity, that’s darkened puss
That festers as an abyssimal blight
To optimism whose courage roars in
Flight to piece together poems whose bite
Is only a loving caress, as their images pin
Your beauty from words to face, wrinkled
From endured hardships but glows
With the passionate compassion of being loved.
As you shower me with light, the fight throws
Away the scourge of love’s broken heart
By filling papers with poems that brook
No argument to its plight in trying to strut
The words in verses and lines that cook
Your presence into the essence of love
Unbroken by a pessimistic world that implodes
When amour is at its best fighting in brave
Behest of a soul needing rest in paper adobes.

Faery Wonderland
In a faery wonderland, she’ll stand,
Hands held together in veneration for land
Whose fantastical beauty astounds,
Its colors: rainbowed pastels in grands
Accumulated in clicks of reds, blue,
Pinks, greens, whose hues flew
Across the bay, scattered haphazardly
In a motley crew of geometrically
Arranged order that’s breathtaking
In their form, as they stand as sentries breaking
….
A story of struggle that united
The varied creatures to be one,
As they strive to keep their beauty in a shrine.

How do you feel about cold weather?
I love cold weather on the condition that the heating system isn’t on too high that I sweat everywhere I go. I also love the white winter scenery when snow covers the ground in a white coat of innocence. However, I also hate how dirty a house becomes from melting snow, salt, slush, and mud.

My poem received the above certificate of achievement.
May’s Spring
My eyes are always turned to the sky,
Where beauty and simplicity vie
For supremacy in an empty spacy.
Birds of all kinds fly by, flocking, migrating,
Setting new habits for their chicks’ living
Quarters that are overflowing with forests, changing
With each new flock that’s arriving.
Live honoring nature’s power,
Its giving nature that is a bower
Of safety when you need a lover
Without motives, who is only a supporter.
Embrace your brethren in humanity,
Their races receding into the vicinity
Of acceptance, that all Man is emotionally
And physically the same, all have red blood.
Feelings, passions, and red flowing blood
Saunter into each’s body in a flood
Of confusion that needs sorting and bud,
Swamping everyone with a unique personage.
Burgeon into your character,
Let your wings flutter,
Soar like a flower petal as the breezer
Tries to alter your course, but you are its conqueror.

Strawberry Moon
The strawberry moon lights the night
Sky, with its radiance that illuminates
The bridge, as though a spotlight
Is placed on its center that highlights
Its empty, serene wonder,
That transcends time and place
To amaze you with its purposeful power
That helps nature become alive in a thrice
As you watch the moonbeams
Caress and hover across the verdant
Trees, bushes whose beourgeoning leaves
Are bathed in its heavenly glow, brilliant
In its choices of a scene out of a
Painter’s portait of the beauty nature hides.

The Imaginary Train
The antique train whose trim
Of burnished wood shone against
The moonlight perpetrating its glam
Exterior with inner luxury at the behest
Of imagination that couldn’t rest.
The marvels of crystal chandeliers
Hanging over dining areas stupefy
The onlooker with wealth that prospers
Through diamond necklaces dangling in hefty
Abundance with gold on skin that’s shiny.
My eyes stray to windows whose glare
Of the lover’s moon is framed
In a beauteous flame that’ll revere
The scene unfolding in a dreamed
Opulent night littered with star-studded
Light of glittery jewels that put
Diamonds, rubies, sapphires, to shame
As the light blinds your eyes and cut
The veil of imagination by rendering it lame
In the presence of nature’s magic, that’s aflame.
Let the train take you on its journey,
The journey of life that twists, turns,
Dips, and rises to all occasions with a flurry
Of activity that glories fighting pains,
Overcoming obstacles as small as grains.
