Water Fall

It pleases him,

He told me that my voice has an echo,
Music,
Like that of water falling,
Like drops of rain as they gently on a surface rest

It pleases him says,

‘Your voice is the music that I dream of composing’

'Good Morning'

He keeps saying ‘Good Morning’, in the Morning, Afternoon & Night so I finally asked him why he keeps on saying Good Morning all the time? He recited a stanza from an old Arabic Poem:

‘The Brightness of your face enticed me,

To believe that night was day…’


إشراق وجهك غرّني حتى ضننت المساء صباحا

Confuse me

He confuses me, and on occasion, sometimes more so himself. So he asks me to write about it…
  
Confuse me,
Let me know not  whether I’m happy or sad,
l want to feel the tightness in my belly stretch,
Beyond its extremity till it nearly snaps.

Confuse me,
Whisper sweetness in my ears
And then say ‘those words aren’t for you.’

String me fine tales that entangle me in your mind,
Tell me those stories of the books you’ve left behind.

Confuse me,
And I’ll wrap you up in a web of shadows undefined.

Confuse you?
Let me confuse you,
Let me rise into the darkness of your memory and shroud you
With words you long to hear yet dare not speak, nor ask, nor think…
Let me confuse you with what may happen,
With what you may wish for
With what you may hope
With what you may sing, in the darkness
A sweet song of agony for an ache you only want

I want to confuse you like you do to me.

We're all just a mass of confusion
Waiting to be sung
In the noonday sun.

Confuse me..

 

A Duet of Butterfly kisses

It seems so long ago yet it's not even part of my memory yet, in an instant I remember what I might forget,

Kisses, he asks for kisses, and gets none... He told me then, that all my words are kisses.

Do I choose to remain silent or stand atop a hill and sing to the wind that my words may shower raindrops and butterfly kisses?

أوعديني تجين

أوعديني تجين ... وحاولي ما تجين
خلي الشوق يتمناك ما ياصلك
امنعيني حنانك واحرميني من الحنين
واتركيلي المجال أحن وأشتاقلك

ابعدي عن عيوني حاولي تختفين
لا تخلين كثرة طيبتك تقتلك
ما يجي بالسهولة ما يسمى ثمين
ومن لبيتيه قبلي يجيك ما يقبلك

ماسهلك ليه زعلتي كيف ما تزعلين
شفتي شلون صرت أقول يا مسهلك

قلتلك لا تكوني مخلصة تندمين
هااا لا يجي يوم وتقولين ما قلتلك
وشكسبتي من القلب الحنون الأمين
وش جنيتي من اللي قالك مانبلك

حاولي تذرف عيونك ولو كذبتين
جربي تبذرين الكذب في مشتلك
احرقي هالقلوب وجربي تلعبين
في يدك قلعتين والجند لك

يا غبية ترآه  كله آنه قلته لك
انقلي ذي بدل ذي واصرخي كش ملك!

Please excuse me,

The doctors say I have 'Angiomyolipoma' a benign lesion on my kidney. Because it's >4 c.m. (7.2cmx7.3cm) I will need a biopsy to check that it is benign and then surgery, possibly 'nephrectomy' .

I am surprised and surprised!
