Joy

Can it be true,
Life can be brighter
To me
With me
For me again?
Can I share
My
Happiness
Sadness
again?
Can a generous hand
Stretch to me
From no where
And support me
With honest
Affection
That I dreamt
Of since infancy?

Jeddah,

The Wedding of Death &Love

No, who said no,
Who dares to say ‘nay’? !
It did not;
But it did in a very peculiar way;
Our wedding did take place:
You died while thinking
In me
And I’m doomed to live dying
In you,
You passed away,
While respecting me,
And I die daily,
Praying just for you.

Beirut

Beirut looks, to me, like
A beautiful young girl,
Full of life,
Full of mirth,
Who made no mistake,
Who can not be blamed,
For being created
So cheerful,
Jealousy not love
Has surrounded
Beirut since birth,
Yet all traps and tricks
To destroy innocent
Beirut failed,
And Beirut will be Beirut,
Until Dooms Day.

Time's Pause

Time: Please pause
Just for a While,
Under any sky
On any earth;
In any place
Pause just for a while
And give me a chance
To experience true love,
Please time,
Have mercy
On this thirsty heart of mine,
Change this
Unfertile,
Barren,
Sterile life
Of mine,
Give me a man
Who responds with warmth
To the unceasing fire
Of my passion;

Heart, Body and Mind

Nowadays, people insist
The instinct should be fulfilled
Before the heart or the intellect,
They do not even mind
To care for the Mind,
Though we are in the twentyth
First century.
They assume that
The tools of communication
They own are enough for the head,
And I say the real key
To the heart and body
As well is in the brain,
Whether we
Deny or admit
The power of the mind
For it sustains the sentiment,
And deep emotion
Beside body cravings
To breath the breeze

Death of Desire

Desire was but a feeble fetes
Lingering in the vacuum
Of my sad heart,
While sound asleep
In the corner of the womb
Of my frustrated feelings,
It hears; it feels
During the passage of time
Whatever I pass through,
And learn from my woes,
Every single moment, hope ignites
This doomed desire of mine
In finding an equal mate,
It hears, it feels the beats
Of my fluttering heart
Which begins to wake up;
To feel alive,

In my dumb
Coarse time

Before it is Too Late, Find for yourself a mate: Someone who Cares

Find for yourself
A beloved, a family;
A home, or at least a mate,
Before it is too late,
So 'Angham' sings,
And I obeyed,
I looked in the many
Faces around me;
In the faces of those
Who say they do care,
In search for Love,
Yet love is not gas,
Though it heats,
But in a totally
Over whelming and different
Beautiful way,
Nor it is oil that is buried
Deep in the soil,
It does not need toil,
It comes all of a sudden;

Mutual

You know,
I know;
It is rare,
But it does happen
Every now and then,
Life surprises us
With such a thing
We feel we want to sing;
People meet
Somewhere
And they feel
As if they knew
Each other
Before this life
On other planet
May be,
Or on the date
Of The Creation
Of pure Souls
Long before earth

Anguish

To Maher Abdallah's Soul:

In Jordan,
Where I went with your childhood friend
To visit your peaceful grave;
Mountains were spreading,
Around the macabre valley
Not very far from the tomb
Of the pure young men of the Cave.
In that HOLY PLACE,
You were slumbering
Soundly on rocks;
How could your thin body
Bear the pain? !
Are you really under the ashes
Or under my broken ribs
Buried in my heart,
Are you really in the eternal eclipse,
Or your light is becoming far
More overwhelming thence,

Exeter

To Maher's Spirit

Blue sky,
Singing birds
Flying every where,
Bright trees,
Dewy flowers
Spreading all over the place,
Different is the town
From any site on earth,
It is very special indeed,
Exeter
taught me to replace
Loving human beings
With loving sceneries
Of the countryside;
It made me
Change my view
About whom my
