And while the city was getting ready
For the night
Girls looking their best
Men holding red roses
Music flowing
It is the
Day,
He was kidnapped
In the middle of the night
Eyes folded
Feet & hands chained
And he was carried
To the deepest hole
In earth
Covered with evil volcano
His prison governor
No one dare
To come near
Or hell
Will erupt
And burn


Love was kidnapped
On the eve of his day
Gwantanamo is heaven
If to its prison
Compared

You need love my dear
Go and get it
A war that deserves to be
Your only
Goal

zero expectations
that is my slogan
in life
when reach zero
one will be a fat number
Two
will be a feast

kindred spirits
oh they come
and
go

tell me about this life
why nothing
stay

days disappear
wonder
where they go
wish one day
on my tip toes
to follow the days
and know
to where
they
go

nothing will stay
water drops
evaporate
at least
in another form
they do
stay

Euthanasia

And when the moment
Gets sick
And its glow
Ends
I call
Euthanasia
I give you the medicine
And you
Deliver it
My dear
After all
It was you
Who transmitted
The killing virus
To my moment
Or was it ours
My dear?

But I was a mum
Long time
Before I became
A mum
Because my dear
I mothered my mother
In her last months
Of life
Worried at night
Was she still
Breathing
Worried if sleeping
Would she ever
Wake up
Or that is it

And when I became a mother
I feared
In case I will die
And
Leave my babies
Behind
And fate struck us
Hard
So
I felt always
As a child
Searching inside
For
A mother
And my children
For so long
Are fostering me
As a child

وخبرني ماذا يقول اليمام
والحمام
خبرني بلغة
الطيور
وأسرار
الطيور
واحكي لي
عن
أعمق
الأسرار

خبرني عن الندى
وشوق
الصباح
والليالي
الملاح
والنجوم
والقمر
البعيد
القريب

خبرني عن الصحارى
وكاتم أسرار
الصحارى
وهل تزوجا
أم
ما زالا
عاشقين
أعرف من عاشق
الصحارى
أعطني أذنك
أهمس باسمه:
لا ليس بدائرة
ولا
بمستطيل
هو خط
ولن أزيد
حرف

خبرني عن القلوب
ولماذا
متغير
حالها
والفرح عمره
يوم
والحزن
دهر
وألف
دهر

خبرني عن العمر
لماذا يقف
على حافة الجبل
سيقفذ
أم
سينزلق
أم
من سيأتي
ويدفعه
من حافة الجبل
فيهوى
إلى
سابع
سماء
مغردا
أم
إلى
سابع
أرض
ينتظر
من مالكه
العفو


خبرني
عنك
لماذا أتيت
ومن أرسلك
تدري لغة
اليمام
والحمام
والطيور
المهاجرة
هل أسمك
سليمان؟
إذا فأنا
بلقيس
ولماذا أرسلتهم
يحضروني
إليك

1 مايو2009
Tell me what the dove
The pigeons
And all birds
Say

Tell me about dew drops
Long merry nights
Stars
And the so far
So near
The moon

Tell me about the desert
And its secret keeper
Have they married?
Or not yet
I know the desert lover
Come near me,
I will whisper
In your ear
His name
No!
He is not a circle
Not a rectangle
He is
A straight line
Can't say more

Tell me about our hearts
And why they do keep
Changing

Tell me about my life
And why it is standing
On mountain top
Getting ready
To jump
Or
Who will push my life
From
Behind
To fall up to seventh sky
Or fall down
To seventh
Earth,
Asking
For God's forgiveness

And do not kidnap Him
And pretend
He is all
Yours
Do not shut me away
And say:
Get lost
And
To hell
With
Me

He is not only yours
He is also
Mine
So do not claim Him
As if he is all
Yours
And never
He will be
Mine

There, there, there
Somewhere there
Where there is nothing
And from nothing
Erupt
All

There you can plant meanings
New words
New feelings
And
You never can hide it
From
All

The tears will run hot
And
Cold
But they are real
Not false
The songs will be whispered
Or shouted loud
No difference
Because there,
In the land of nowhere
From nothing
I will erupt
For once
And
All
