Subdued
She was lying on the floor
Injured and hurting
I saw her crying
I saw her eyes
I felt her pain
.
Her hands tied behind her back
Her feet shackled to the ground
Her hair shaved
Her face blistered
Her body bruised
Her nails pulled out
Battered
She pleaded for a break
A moment of stillness
A moment of silence
A moment of nothingness
A moment of death even
Or just a wheelchair
.
Warlocks in black encircled her
Intoxicated with their “chosen-ness”
They danced and twirled around her shadow
.
.
Revamped, manicured, suit-wearing cannibals
Drooled over her heart
Eyes rolling
Salivating over their supper-to-be
.
.
A stone-soldier stood by
No tongue, no heart, no eyes
In his hand I saw the knife that carved out her heart
.
.
Trembling, I came closer
She was still breathing
Her frayed heart still throbbing
.
She is ALIVE
I wept of pain
I wept of joy
My salty tears rubbed deep into her wounds
She jumped
Kneeling down, I gave her a kiss
Whispered something in her ear
.
She gasped for life
Looked at me
Eyes sparkled with a grin
She knew
The birth of her baby is near
Her soul bounced back
Vigorous, buoyant, whole again
and Stunningly Beautiful

Poetry for Palestine 
Her beauty stirs in all things
Through the birds the animals the trees
Where she steps flowers grow
The scent travels far in the breeze
Her tears show the pain and the struggle
Her eyes opened wide up to love
filled by the fires of paradise
Flown on the wings of a dove
On the course up where the stars shine
Magnificence fills and protects
Resonating in limitless power
Composing in waves that effect
In lotions of purist tranquility
The love felt deep inside all
Oh Beautiful beautiful Palestine
Your touch makes my heart fill with warm
..peace..
