Like Waiting!!!
Since you have
cut the ropes of sleep،
while you are waiting for your own self
Go flow from you
to yourself, like a secret blood just drawn from the bank of time.
Oh, displaced
person to amputated places
While your
eyelids shed from departure, sadness drops from the sweat of the sky sixty
graves.
While you wait
for yourself, think of the children of death and the fires that burn.
You should have
died in order for us to sleep.
You should have
eaten the fire ignited from your waiting, so you can expel your pain and render
it to ashes.
Die slowly when
you come out of yourself, like a bouquet of flowers turned yellow
So, I can feel
the alienation and the empty loneliness.
The bird that
slumbered on a paper kite, stopped wailing on electricity poles.
The heads of
passers-by were giving him a fleeting look.
And a crazy
camera stands in the middle of the road says:” Oh my helplessness”.
Oh, air cut from
the paper of time
There are tricks
that failed to cross, there are hands that erase in ink the face of sorrows.
Oh traveler,
when you get tired of leaning on a cane waiting for yourself, remember that you
are still breathing in the midst of this fire, due to your five daily prayers.
It’s Hard To Argue With Silence!
When the sign of
ridicule shows on your face,
I Don’t have to
expect your attention!
It’s not strange
anymore, when you hide behind your stubborn silence, You turn your face with
cold eyes and ignore the question.
Your stagnation
seemed eternal to me when it stifles in front of me the breath of meeting…
Since the
feeling of silence reflected in your eyes, storms of pain formed in my soul,
and it was a big mistake to surrender to your silence and dive deeper in my
pain!
Oh How I regret
it!
It kept buzzing
in my head until I thought it was a tsunami!
You spin in a
panic circle,
The last to
promise attention and the last to have time to prepare his defense!
Damn You!
Our Destiny!
This is our destiny...to raise the sails of
optimism in order to obtain happiness.
Do not waste
your emotions, there are those who need it and deserve it.
Narrow, petty
interests cannot distort the beautiful carpet of human relations.
We are all
coming and we are all going... What is the connection if we have not arrived?!!
You are a mirror
that the lover stares at, so he feels his value and his existence... Therefore,
you are responsible for his happiness or his sadness..
Stare at your
lover’s face, your lover’s heart and also his eyes... Let much joy, much love,
and orange blossom water sprout
