Tears
The sun of life,
If one day the fog drowns it
In seas of darkness,
Fear, madness, and torment
Keep remembering the person
Who poured you onto paper
So that the tears may perfume
The pages of the book
**
Flowers
I wondered,
How you were dressed in blossoms
In a dress...
Even roses are jealous of its roses
And from the purity of your body,
It's all mixed up,
And the rose of your cheek
Is suffocated by roses of your dress
I whispered in Your ear...
And my hand unbuttons:
Flowers don't decorate flowers!
**
Companion
No matter how deep my wound is,
I fear the pain will drown in my wound.
I spent my life on the road,
I couldn't find a companion.
No one to extinguish the fire in my heart,
Nor rejoice in my slaughter.
**
I will keep loving you
-1-
I will keep loving you forever,
I will keep loving you
Until my lamp runs out of oil,
And my hand,
Can no longer reach a jasmine flower,
Nor fall in love with flutes.
My recitation.
-2-
You were the meeting...
When the sail tilted
You became the journey
And your seas the exile
Your lips began to bleed melodies
And their melodies gathered in my heart.
-3-
In the picture where you were smiling
At me during the day,
The smile faded and your tears flowed
I saw sorrow encamped on the memory
And the mirage's wave drowned your return.
-4-
I wish you were in me
I wish I could steal you,
And close my eyes to happiness and sleep!
But "the wish" that couldn't build a house,
How can it fulfil my dreams?!
**
Embers' Remains
-1-
The stars of the sky covered the sun; Jaffa
White birds carried my net
And the fog that was in my eyes
Evaporated... as if I hadn't cried
-2-
And after the weariness... I saw joy coming
I washed my face and the mirror smiled
It's been waiting for joy for a long time
The dust of a story has settled on it
-3-
What do you think...
I'll keep crying forever My life
And the red sighs have aged on my lips
From the fire, I rise like a firebird
Carrying on my wings the remnants of embers
**
The wax of your body is alight
-1-
When the wax of your body is alight
The sand and the shore rejoice
And the duck rests
And the wave claps until it is full
And clings to rich your chest...
And rises on it
Like a child, to jump.
-2-
...And for years and years,
My shores have been forgotten
No sun for them It rises
And its light shines
On your sweet hills
-3-
And that's why the promise
Is delayed even more
It lingers in the night of the barren land
And the valley darkens
I am alone, waiting
The waves are rising
And with them rise arches
That their people will not return
-4-
Oh, woe to you, woe to you
Oh, ignorant waves
Whose tears float
On the rocks Thirsty
And time has no life
It dies before my eyes
It consumes my dreams
That aged on the embers
-5-
Oh, if only I could
Colour the sea blue
For the eyes of a mermaid
Waiting for summer
So that she might drown in its sun
And swim before her
While her body writhes
I gasp with her image
Every time the candle lights up!
**
The feast is far away
-1-
Don't tell me: The feast is far away,
I'll wait for your feast
Until you find me in a new dress
And flowers in your hand
Perhaps our joy will increase
And the promises will blossom
And your wine will taste sweeter.
-2-
Don't tell me: My night is long
Every night I see you
A knight extending his hand to you,
Unafraid of your swords
Oh, my fleeting dream
The poem I said,
It can't be said,
If it weren't for your words!
-3-
My life and yours
Are a fleeting breeze
In my forgotten world
Passing by...
We didn't let it cry out
And go a little mad
Your vineyards need to be adorned
Your lips were created for praise
Don't be harsh on me...
**
You have become fear
1
Hatred has fallen between you and me
And curses wearied by silence
And hands that tear this earth apart
And leave no room for reconciliation Houses
-2-
A night lies between you and me
Its darkness is terrifying
Horses traverse its distances
And its distances swallow them up
-3-
And I flee from you like the wind
That slipped from the hand of exile
And my hatred is turning into a breeze
Seating, drawing my path
-4-
I shed your treachery on the sands
That I banished to the depths the waves
Your treachery piled up like hills
And your lies became a fence
Around those hills
-5-
You became the fear that drags
Suspicions nesting in my suspicions
And every time I hold the secret in my hand
I tell you: I wish you weren't here.
**
I'm afraid of you
-1-
I'm afraid of you... of your sighs
Of a glance that kills
Of a sun that paints your smiles
And leaves a wound on your lips
And how can I try to find you
How can I look at you
I gather my voice to speak to you
And my voice is hoarse from fear
-2-
The further you are
And the more you're gone
The more my love is renewed
And it grows up
And the waiting walks silently
Two hands build my homes
And a hearth keeps us awake during our vigil
-3-
If I could extinguish with my hands
The fire of desire in my eyes
The mad desire burns me
And colours the pages of my eyes
With the blood that boils within me
-4-
I'm afraid to tell you that I love you
And you'll lean Before me,
Your heart will stop
I'll spread my chest for you and cover you
And with a small kiss, I'll greet you
And you'll rejoice in me
At the end of your journey.
**
Your eyes are calling
-1-
Your eyes are calling!
I closed my eyes
So that I couldn't
bear your coquetry
-2-
Between you and me there's night
And seas and distances
And a desert, trampled by horses
Stripped bare of sand
-3-
And how can I return
Dragging my years with me
And a cry of reproach and promises
That are too difficult to revive me?!
-4-
They're calling out!
And the fire is burning in my nerves
And panic has become a belt
Tightening around my door
-5-
.. And I can't scream anymore
Audible screams
I'm choking the wind with my hands
And drowning in its tears!
-6-
And your sweet eyes
Don't understand me
They've sharpened " a look"
Into a knife to cut me!
**
Gypsy Band
-1-
The string is drunk
And fingers are drunk with it
A band of gypsies
And a girl appeared selling roses
Sweeter than sweetness
And necklaces
That don't know value.
Ropes of jasmine and gardenia
.. And who will hang me
With a rope, who!
-2-
The string's intoxication...
And bodies intoxicated with it
That don't acknowledge lands
Their lands: a glimpse of the world
And squares that welcome people!
Get up and dance...
And flirt with them
With your sweet dances
Nights of joy were nurtured by their hands
And their hands are gardens
And the dust of dance clings to their feet
And aged from years!!
-3-
And I am like them...
Pitching tents on my shoulders
And adorning them
With flowers...
Stronger than nothingness
And fortified with a song
For others, never been said
And no waterfall cascaded
And no melody departed from its letters...
4-
Get up and dance...
The palms of the young girls are fire
From their clapping, the darkness of the nights has melted away
And boredom has vanished
Ashamed of its state
And a gypsy’s laugh
Is shining in front of it
And a bouzouki is playing,
Its strings jingling
And you, like a stone
The humans and the fairies danced
.. And I wish you hadn't been!
**
Your glory is greater
-1-
I won't speak... Your glory is greater
Than the words I want to say
Than a page that's aged in a notebook
And I forgot to even repeat chapters
And the past is the past, it doesn't return
No matter how much it drags on...
And no matter how much it pushes
My life passing without you is faster
Than the days
When I sleep
Kneel on the eyelashes
-2-
Oh, my most beautiful love...
Don’t passe by like a story
Hiding in her eyes
To steal her future glory
And say: Embrace me so I may rejoice
Like the people who rejoiced in you
And cried when you cried before them
And wrapped you in the shawl
Of their imagination
Perhaps the shawl will protect you
And you will become wider than the place
Where your people stand to meet you
And their hands are the wooden planks
Of the stage!
**
Leave me alone
-1-
Leave me alone, leave me alone...
I'll be fed up
And the roses and lilies
On my cheeks will wither
And all the happiness I saw in your eyes
Will fall on my path like an illusion...
It will be shattered!
-2-
I saw you, my joy and all my days
And I planted the flowers of my dreams in you
And I told them: O eyes, do not sleep
Life will pass by, one moment after another
-3-
You are the one who stripped love
From my path
And you are the one who plucked love
From my heart
And when we parted...
Ah, the loneliness
That made the ships of our love sink.
-4-
Distances grew between you and me
With you, I was adorned My eyes
And hang my years like a wedding in a garden
For estrangement hangs at its door!
**
My heart's wound
-1-
To describe you, my heart's wound, I've become
Bring back its nights
In which I stayed awake
And before her shy eyes, I grew up
I saw you, a canal of blood
Gathering pains
Pregnant as if you were a mother
A million "ouches" flowed in her womb!
-2-
To describe you... I signed my gaze
On your sides for days
And my eyes were deprived of sleep
I told her: I am lost in my wound
And my eyes began to swim
In your bays that are being displaced
On shores that don't know their wakefulness
And their sands rejoice in my kneeling...
-3-
Oh, wound of my heart...
I beg you so much
Don't spill your lips
Perhaps someone saw you
And feared you before... He saves you
Where can I find
A person who heals you
Before you disappear in his hand imagination
And drowns in your name
Every time he calls you back?!
**
You’ll come back to me
-1-
How can you live without me?
And your laughter can be heard from afar?!
Have you forgotten the sleepless nights
At the harbor of my eyes?
Where our mornings used to awaken?
-2-
And the jasmine tree that fell upon me?
And stirred my hands with its branches?
And whispered to me: Pick it a flower?
What can I tell it...
When the wound is still in me?!
-3-
And the restaurant that never left my mind
Despite how often we called out our names
I stopped going there...
I was afraid it would become too good for me
Tell it the truth...
And make it hate us
-4-
Live as you please...
Wound the memory
You'll come back to me
With overflowing tears
Your appearance tomorrow
Will bear witness to me
And a handful of dust
Will precede your return...
**
You and I two shadows
-1-
...And that's how we became two dragons
We're buying on credit
A word that makes us happy
And how are we going to
Pay back our expenses
We mortgaged our places?!
-2-
We stood at the door of love
We stood to beg
And the heart's voice grew hoarse
Perhaps someone would give
A souvenir, a picture
To illuminate us with its light
However, we went
Something enchanted, transparent
In hidden moments
With a kiss that comforted us
-3-
.. And so, we became two
On our paths, two eyes
Swimming in their tears
And running after the unknown
On The sound of drums
Shattered our stages
And you and I, two shadows
The lie rocked us
The darkness wiped us away
You and I, two children
We cried out in fear!
**
Boredom
-1-
My life began the day I fell in love
And his hair became intertwined with mine
And he scattered a thousand verses
Let my ears drown in his stories.
-2-
Before him. Life wasn't sweet to me
And dreams never crossed my mind
I used to fall into the distance
And get up carrying boredom
In the darkness of the nights!
**
Your love is dead
-1-
Your love is dead,
I buried it with my own hands
On the shores of my sleepless nights
No stars tickled
No verses sang
It poured out in a song.
-2-
Your love is dead. Why?
And the sky was lit
And an unstoppable army
Standing at its door
Its weapon was a thousand journeys
And drawings and stories
And kisses that sparked fire
And drove nights mad.
-3-
Your love died,
And its years ended
And its dreams were extinguished
Leaving its lovers
To build houses,
Grilled with gardens
And drown in silence
More beautiful than the stories...
-4-
I won't say: I regretted it
I won't say: I cried
But when I got up
I walked on the wound in my heart
And I screamed from my anguish
The scream of a mad child:
Oh, my life is ending
Oh, your cursed love...
**
The Hand of Sin
-1-
I feel you... wherever you are
And shine, before me,
On the screen of my imagination
Pearls, you’ve protected from the air
-2-
And your voice...
Oh, sweetest voice
Is suspended in my heart
It sways over me
And pulls me towards you
So, I may dwell in your heart
And between you and me... death!
-3-
It's not my right to speak to you
Or meet you
The sun of the world will darken
If I try to extinguish you
If I try to extend
The hand of sin and pull
And with shame... I'll throw you!
**
She is purity
-1-
Her joy... is our joy
From the day she stood
And sang for us
The earth sang
With a voice that paints our laughter
With the hoarseness of her "Oof"
That didn't leave us
In the night of hatred
-2-
O white dove, congratulate her
Your colour is from her...
Don't forget her
Sprinkle her with perfume
And sing to her a handful of love
And adorn her with purity her nights
She is purity.
-3-
We loved her. and God knows
We couldn't dry the tears
When he was gone
And her laughter honoured us
Her voice, which relieves the people
The strongest torment
-4-
Her voice.
Like her high mountains
With its clouds, fields are extended
Wheat is sown
With its melodies, nights are erased
And our laughter returns
It glitters within the wound.
**
A lie
I lied when I said: Your love is dead
And I was ashamed of myself...
I thought you believed this lie
Which threw away sadness
Unbearable
And the sadness creates darkness
That scares my nights...
By your eyes, I'll steal that poem,
And I'll burn it
But me, my lily
My lies are always exposed by words
That don't even cross my mind...
**
Where is your half?
-1-
Where is your half,
Where is it?!
Words that won't leave my mind
Made the black of my eye
Turn white in the nights
Its scope is wider than mine.
And I became afraid
My imagination would fall
And get lost between me
And two hands.
Upon their palms is my burden
And a heart waiting
for the appearance of my child!
-2-
I sat there chatting alone:
I'm cut off,
And carrying the torment of two
And every time my candles flicker
They flicker in two halves?!
-3-
Half of me is with you... a guess
And I don't know who you are!
You were created for me years ago
And your years were delayed
And I've been waiting for a lifetime
To be adorned with arches
Broken-hearted
With the blossoms of your jasmine.
**
He's upset
-1-
He's upset...
The rose has withered on your lips
And he's grown old and can't smell you
Or carry you in his hands
And he's adorned his feast night
And let the eyes embrace you
With a glance.
-2-
He's upset...
He left and the journey is long
Carrying his torment,
A fire burning with fire
And longing lips
Drowned in the sorrow of cold October
And the spring tore his clothes from grief
-3-
Look, call out to him...
He hears you
He's gone, leaving his thoughts with you
And life is passing by
A cry of boredom
From the mouth of a human
Maybe, in a moment of inattention,
he'll catch you in secret...
**
Your harvest
-1-
I've been waiting for your harvest
On my threshing floor for years
The appearance of your beauty
Those who will carry your burden
...And why are they delaying?!
-2-
And she grew weary of her imagination
Sacks of sweat
It crosses her mind
To escape her burden
And not remain weary.
-3-
On the threshing floors of sorrows
Anew is being created
With your harvest that was
In it the field was joyful
The joy of a child on feast day.
-4-
Apparently, your harvest is an illusion
Harvested by my arms
It withers in the hand of understanding
It catches up with moans the arrow
Is it blown away by my presence?
**
The Lady of the House
1-
Waiting at the edge of time
For your return to me
Oh, flower that never sleeps
Except on my hand
Oh, breeze that never fades
Oh, dreams that awaken
And leave their dust in my eyes
2-
You were by my side...
And suddenly you grew up
I lost you...
I don't know where you are now
I called out to you
Until the universe was inside
I drew you as a bird... And the colour
Hold on to you when you flew away
-3-
Talk to me.
Don't harden your heart
I alone carry the banner of your love
I alone write poems
And toss and turn on the embers of fire
And walk with thorns on your path
-4-
And these words I'm writing
You forgot how many flowers
I perfumed them with
You forgot how much I soaked your ears
As if I tailored them for you
And poured them into a Mold
Your body
-5-
Oh, chant without rhythm
My books burned from your sighs
Your flames reached my heart
And yet I cling to my love
That threw me into seas of sorrow
-6-
I miss you, oh, tears of my eyes
And the candles long for your birthday
And the flowers for the touch of your hand
And how many nights I prayed
For your return, oh, lady of the house
To I rejoice in you and you become
The haven of my crazy days.
**
Southerner
-1-
They called me a Southerner
My voice is Lebanese
My heart is pure, distributing joy
Gifts for the displaced children
And settled in the homes of the wealthy
-2-
Southerner...
From the daughters of the people
Who overcame the madness of war
I swear to you,
O sun of the poor
Let my country blossom like a moon:
Love, goodness, and tenderness
-3-
I dedicated my life to my country
Which is longing for the arrival
Of the feasts days
O my beloved feasts and hope
Shine, shine,
Illuminate the nights of my mountain
Perhaps the evening will be sweet
-4-
My heart is small,
It cannot contain
To hide cities and villages
Planted in your gardens,
O, my country
And protected by eternal glory
And by divine might
**
The Cries of Your Eyes
-1-
You woke up in the morning,
Your mood serene
And in your eyes, a handful of hopes
You held my hands for a few moments
You planted a harvest for me
With your own hands
-2-
Oh, my life...
My life without you is lost
On paths upon paths
Crucified...
And the cries of your eyes
Don't know that I'm crucified
-3-
If only I could write you a word
That would bring us back for some, anew
The star shines in the darkness
And adorns the nights of the feast day.
-4-
Thirsty...
The trembling is on my lips
And between you and me is a desert
And death,
And a distance that kills a distance
And how will my voice reach you?!
**
Oh, my heart!
Oh, my heart!
I'm in love... but my situation is dire.
The one I paved her path with flowers,
Now she spreads sighs in my way.
She forgot that I burned incense
Before her picture,
Witch I locked it in a box.
She forgot that her life is fleeting.
I fulfilled its vow by longing and love.
And I turned to hatred,
The nights keep turning.
My hatred...
Is like a drop of blood on a spear.
I hate to hear the chirping of a bird
My Lord took His time
in composing its melody
I hated the morning that flirted with light
Because every morning my crucifixion begins
I hated the stars that shine in the darkness
I hated the "return" that burned by my people
And with arms of despair, I carried a pickaxe
And opened my grave in the land of exile.
**
Hatred and Woe
-1-
All the words I spoke
I forgot them.
And all the tears I cried
I wiped them away
With hands numb with hatred
I didn't let them crawl on the ground
And clean the paths I walked!
-2-
Your dawn, when its shadow appeared,
They plucked out
Two eyes of children from its sight
And they said:
Your dawn is black like the night
Dragging behind it hatred and woe
And it is extinguishing itself
With its own fire!
-3-
And the flower that adorned your evenings
From your breasts
Changed its colour.
And from your stories
From your lies
It wove gallows for the evenings
And it wants to fight.
It wants to quarrel
And its weapon is the lie in your glances!
**
You took off your clothes
-1-
You took off your clothes...
The meadows bloomed
And the fire burned me
And the snow melted on my chest
The cold imprisoned me
Since the hour of your absence...
Let my hands sway
Like the raging winds
On the threshing floor of your youth
-2-
Life is a small dream
That flies from our hands
On an autumn night
And you and I become
A collection of riddles
On the lips of a story
-3-
Embody in me.
Many before you were embodied
As lovers.
A shy flower
You forced my eyes to sit
At the door
And wait for you a lifetime
So, they could pluck
From those dark cheeks
And red lips
Kisses like embers.
-4-
I coloured my hair
With a thousand colours
So, I could throw it at you
I didn't know I'd be finished Here
Sleeping in your arms
A child... my life is but a day
And you sing to me
Until sleep flies from me
And stays awake before me
-5-
Embody in me...
You became me long ago
And from the day that was
You were in my eyes...
**
You burned me with your light
-1-
Hide your face from my eyes
You burned me...
You burned me with your light
I run away from you... but I can't
Escape the scent of your incense
Oh, church in a forgotten village
In times of hardship,
I return to visit you
-2-
I loved you...
And love is a story
Scrambled on the pages of notebooks
Its end is its beginning
And its beginning is my heart waiting
O sweeter than the sweetest verse
Let me travel in your eyes
-3-
Your love is more precious than my days
And my heart is broken for your love
I draw your image in my dreams
And I braid your hair with flowers
And on my arms when you sleep
Light shines from your face
-4-
I walk your paths with pleasure
And the thorns on your paths Flowers
I saw you, proud of yourself
And your lips were dripping with tears
I wove you a woollen sweater from my skin
And kept you warm
For the rest of my life
-5-
Your voice makes my senses dance
I'll hold your voice forever
In my hands.
And let my breath
Tune it from the unbelievable
A note..
With the hymns of a mass
Planted by our hands in the fields...
-6-
When you're gone... my thoughts
Wound my mind and become
Adrift, my poems' boat
In seas of turmoil
Where my flowers wither
And I'm still in the prime of my life...
So young!
-7-
Oh, all the sweet words
From you, no sound comes out
With a word...
You give me back my strength
With just four or five letters
"I love you"...
Oh, my darkness, shine
And escape from my light,
Oh, sun
**
Your absence is killing me
-1-
Why did the handkerchiefs fly away
So quickly
And the caravan moved on?!
And your fingers peeked out
Into the air, grazing
And rested on my features
-2-
And the clock's hands pierced my heart
And the beats increased
And my eyes grew dim...
And my condition is difficult
The tears are painful...
-3-
And the dust began to splatter
On my face
Its colours and it walks...
It spreads the pain of tomorrow
On my cheeks
And widens the bed...
-4-
No longer I have words to say
Words fail me
Your absence has killed me...
Record its chapters
And have mercy on me!
**
Betrayal
-1-
How could he raise his eyes
And look me in the face
And betray me without me betraying him
And soil his conscience
With the dust of his madness
And get lost
Behind his embarrassing situations?!
Despite my doubt and the truth of my feelings
I decided to erase the illusion from my mind
And justify my beloved's excessive tricks
And be patient.
And create a thousand excuses!
-2-
How can he greet me?
And plant his dark hands in mine?
And say: I missed you?
You are the shining stars in my sky?
You are the happiness sleeping within me?
You are my life and the light of my eyes?
And there is no one like you?!
-3-
As for me.
I no longer ask?
I got used to the lies
And the betrayal.
And I learned how cling to the wood
Of my salvation before I drown,
And increase my faith after despair,
And move my mountains to a blue sea,
Whose brow and boat have not been stained,
And overcome the torment
With the intoxication of the drunkard,
Who now drinks wine
However, he pleases,
And they count it as aged wine!
-4-
What do I care? It doesn't matter.
Even if he betrays me a little,
And on the paths of recklessness,
He slaughters chastity.
The important thing is
That he remains with me,
More obedient than my own imagination,
And rests his head coquettishly
On my shoulder,
And I cover him with my shawl,
And he says:
There's no one like you in the world,
Oh, you who bring peace to my mind...
And despite my doubts
And the truth of my feelings,
I decided to erase the illusion
From my mind,
And make it fly away.
The wings of fate
And laugh with a big smile
And whisper to my cup:
His presence with me is enough!
**
Please, my heart
-1-
What should I do?
Please, my heart
My old age has begun
And my beloved is still far away
And I'm talking to the echo?!
-2-
What should I do?!
My love has forgotten me
On the shores of the world
And my longing grows within me
From year to year
Oh, my heart that has forsaken me
Ask me what's wrong with me?!
My abandonment...
And the anguish of my moaning
Stronger than death
-3-
My dreams, still planted
In nights of weeping
I watered the world with my tears
Until words melted away
Oh, my heart...
The sun that awakens
And is satiated with its tinkling
Stole candles from my eyes
And lit up this horizon
-4-
And the stars that stay awake
On the rooftops of the sky
Anyone is forbidden to speak to them
The moon
Even with its light
Its sighs paint pictures
And with a sigh it falls
Oh, my heart... If the stone wept
No one would pity me...
-5-
Steal me, oh my heart, from my worries
And the sighs of torment
Steal me so I can warm myself by my stars
Absence has cooled me
And plant laughter in my vineyards
And swim in the mist
Perhaps, oh my heart, from my clouds
The dew will appear
**
Planted me in her eyes
-1-
Take me and planted me in her eyes
Crucified me on her hands
Imprisoned me in her heart
And threw me on her path
This girl I love
-2-
What good are lands sown with flowers
If they aren't perfumed
With a little perfume
From the perfume that's on her?!
And what good are fair and dark-skinned girls
If they aren't cleansed by the tears of dawn
Spilled on her path?!
-3-
If you were to ask the poems
For whom they are written,
The poems would answer:
For her silken hair
For her radiant cheeks
For her sad smile
For her figure adorned with jasmine blossoms
For her bosom that holds legend and riddles
For her eyes, slit like the early morning
For her lips that call out for me
To return from years and years
Witch forgot me in the land of the forgotten!
-4-
Enough, enough!
Exile, hardship, and lamentation
Oh, my heart, if it weren't for you,
you wouldn't have tasted this torment
How did you enter,
How did you leave,
With such cruelty
Did you bid me farewell?!
Don't say you didn't know
How much you'll miss her,
And you'll walk your life alone on darkness
I betrayed you...
It's okay
Tomorrow, if my country
Reproduces new life
I promise you'll be even happier
And you'll meet your loved ones
All the time
And you'll laugh with all your heart,
Oh heart, and say:
Today is a feast day for me!
**
Don't be afraid...
-1-
The mud covering my legs
Is raising its voice at me
It threatened me with many things
And told me to pay its price
Or it will blind me
-2-
Its colour is black like the night
Stained with the madness of shame
The one who tightens a belt around his waist
Spun by the hands of woe
-3-
...And everyone who saw it on my legs
No longer He drew near to me
Everyone was terrified of me
My siblings, my mother and father
They thought I had a delusion
I love hot things
-4-
Only one remained by my side
The one with the almond-shaped eyes
Who was the support of my life
And the sweetest gift to my heart
She told me: Don't be afraid
I have a tongue and lips
I'll wash your body with my saliva
Until it's clear Shining and transparent
And purer than the purest of nights
Oh, dream of the night, as long as it is
Like a giant standing beside me
And let them say what they will
Hold your head high...
Don't be afraid

The holiday is near on our shores
-1-
You built my stones with your own hands
So, I could live happily in my home
And you extinguished my fire with your tears
And you forgot to stop the flood!
I traversed your distances by day,
And the night before me is angry.
Hide me... My secrets have multiplied,
And forgetfulness has settled upon my words.
-2-
My life...
From its very beginning, a story,
I gathered its letters in a book,
And your sun shines in my book,
A page...
That absence cannot fold.
O light...
Coming from my land,
Wipe the fog from my eyes,
And imprison me within. Mirror
Lovers pass by it
-3-
I stretch out my hand as wide as the space
So, you may sleep on my palm for years
Let me rejoice in your presence
In the forgotten hours
And swim above the waves of your seas
And colour gardens with kohl
And every time
Your cheeks are touched, wound
So, the colouring pencils break
-4-
What good am I without your eyes?!
What good is my life without transparency?!
This world is a lie without you
Blind... and they say: He saw!
I loved you in the nights of your madness
I loved you... until my love overflowed
And covered your art with sighs
I cut you a blanket from my skin...
-5-
Small... and my plains are narrowing
And she rejoices
Every time you extend your hand
A Knights playground...
And my horses sent its dust far away...
Its dust returned carried
On the perfume of the new perfumes
What do you want me to bring you
Tell me?
The holiday is near on our shores!
**
Don't forbid me love
-1-
Don't forbid me love
Don't darken my heart
Love is the most beautiful path
And God is love.
-2-
Let it make my hands bloom
And let my eyes overflow with joy
And let the forgotten candles of love
Light up my darkness in exile
-3-
The story is strange, so strange
God, with His wondrous secrets
Is the One who chooses my beloved
Don't sprinkle sighs by my path
-4-
We came to this world...
It stole us,
And started playing with our love
We didn't choose it,
And it didn't choose us
A lie...
And we're living the lie!
**
Love me more
-1-
Every time you say:
Love me more
I feel my mind confused and bewildered
Thoughts take me to the ends of the earth
And thoughts plant me right here
In front of you
And the world shrinks before my eyes
-2-
And every time you say:
I missed you, my love
Light and fragrance spread across my path
And you make me live in a world of dreams
And you deprive me of the whole night Sleep
And you paint hearts on my heart
-3-
And every time you say:
Enjoy my art
You create angels and paradise for me
And stars scattered in the blackness
Of the night
And a white ship the colour of horses
And a mirage, a picture smaller than me
-4-
And every time you say:
Laugh, O dark one
The scent of thyme wafts from me
And flowers created in the wilderness
And there is no one
With her presence,
My home is here
And from us alone,
This world grows
-5-
And every time you say:
I'm jealous, my love
You plant thorns in my thoughts
And you pour oil on the fire
And from your jealousy...
I might become jealous
And declare my madness
To the whole universe.
**
Why did I love you?
-1-
You're asking me why I loved you
And why I hid you in my heart
And you can't even guess?!
For years and years,
I've been drawing your image in my eyes,
Coloured with love
And adorned with the flowers of my affection.
I've been searching for you
On a thousand paths,
perhaps your footprints
Are imprinted on them,
And perhaps they lead to your home.
Believe me...
I searched everywhere until I found you!
-2-
I found you,
A shining truth before me,
Like the stars in the sky.
And from the intensity of your radiance,
I became afraid of blindness.
And I became jealous of myself.
And how many times,
You crossed my mind.
I deprive my eyes of catching
A glimpse of cheeks,
Lips like madness,
And black hair carrying nights.
3-
If you could gather my tears,
You would have made a river.
And if you had time to read poetry
Poetry told how much I tasted oppression
And how many nights I stayed up for you
And my candles stayed up with me.
-4-
You were in my heart before you were
And you were the inspiration of my thoughts
You used to sleep among my poems
And on my pillow,
How many years you slept
And how many times
You danced on my sighs
To the sound of my heart
That was a sad orphan
The one who made the tears dry in my eyes
And made my life hate my life
And made my tongue declare my madness
-5-
And in the end, I found you:
A flute, music, and perfume
And a thousand pieces of poetry
I want the madness of time
To compose them...
I have no more life left
And for this reason,
O light of my eyes
If you want to pity me
Don’t ask me why I loved you?

Four Love Scenes
Scene One:
As much as you laughed,
Half the laughter fell to the ground
Oh, laughter that can't be heard
Repel the pain from my lips
Black as hatred
**
Scene Two:
-1-
She appeared...
And I wish she hadn't!
She stole all the love
And left nothing
My heart is wounded...
Forgive me my heart!
-2-
I muttered:
What do I want with her?
I shouldn't have spoken to her
Nor even seen her in my sleep
If you take care of her
And water her like a flower
She shines like a star
It's hard to extinguish her!
**
Scene Three:
One night,
A night of sleeplessness
She stole away from her family
And they had no idea
And by chance, the moon appeared
She was startled...
She walked slowly
And muttered, annoyed:
Why are you appearing, moon?!
**
Scene Four:
I will keep loving you
Until the colour fades
And the eyes of all humanity dim
And nothing will remain
But you and me in this universe
We will create humanity...
To worship God!
**
I want to love you
-1-
It's enough for me...
Just to stand and gaze at you
And hide you in my eyes, a sun
Whenever it gets dark,
I'll light you up
-2-
Even if they prevent my hand
From reaching out
And put a barrier between us
It's enough for me
To gather roses for you
And give them to you in my dreams...
-3-
I want to love you
No matter what happens
Their jealousy will extinguish the fire
That burned My heart, night and day,
And my thoughts,
Which are calling out to you
-4-
They rejoiced when they stole you
And with their lies
They wrapped you up
And forgot they won't give you
As much as my love gives you
**
Your horse is my lips
-1-
If my heart beats,
It beats for you.
If my chest were to split open,
Your image would appear
Without you I am blurry
Walking... and not walking
The road to you is long
And the fire is blowing
To burn its butterfly
-2-
I wish I could confess
My love for you...
O most beautiful sun
I wish I could wander
In your embrace...
Just for one night
To plant Kisses
On hidden hills
And to take measurements
Of your body
With my eyes
-3-
Don't wrong the wronged
I've had enough injustice from you
I know I'll get up
As soon as this movie ends
And I know if I go out
You'll call me to drown
In your warm embrace
And the embrace
A big well
And every time I drown in the well
Your voice tells me:
Stay hero on the top of the hill
And your unsheathed sword is gold
And your horse is my lips
