حنُون يا حنُّون

Posted on March 18, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

حمراء قانية وكأنها قطرات دم الشهيد

وكأنها عبير عطره حين يُقرؤنا الوداع

وكأنها غرزات الحرير المخملي في ثوب أمه حين تبللها الدموع

وكأنها ترانيم ارتقاء روحه للفردوس تسكنها السكينة والخشوع

حُفت بأجنحة الملائك تسابق الريح لهفاً كي ترى وجه الحبيب

Poppies of compassion

Deep red, like drops of blood of the martyr

Like the scent of his perfume as he pays his farewell

Like silk stitches in the velvet dress of his mother, wet by tears

Like the chants of his ascending soul, to paradise

Where awe and tranquility dwell

Surrounded with wings of angels

Passionately racing the wind

Eager to meet the face of the Beloved

You start connecting the dots

A definite pattern emerges

WOW shocking TRUTH

15134712_10210314437050190_1656303416048766768_n

The most dangerous “allies”

Those who try to prevent you

From connecting the dots

Be cautious, be alert

17125_1153645897984625_7603309318980724792_n
Series of crimes

You scratch the surface

Same culprit every time

Every time

13724986_10209337668491150_7809209506031648567_o
You talk in codes

No mention of names

Only the guilty subjects

Accuse you of “hate”

Kissed By Heaven

Posted on March 30, 2016 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Heaven descends

Caresses your cheeks

Poses a kiss

On your weary brow

You smile

Life blooms

With a tight embrace

and few tears

Heaven holds your heart

Washes your feet

You smile

Life blooms

I Miss You

Posted on March 14, 2016 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

What! Spring still visits you, my sweetheart, despite all that pain?

Does he still yearn to give your wounded cheeks a kiss?

Does he still caress your velvet plaits with scent of roses and jasmine?

Do daffodils still bloom in your meadows, in spite of death-makers?

O, do poppies still grows yearning to touch the feet of your beloved,

Enchanted, as prophets adoration of Heaven?

This is My Palestine

I miss you sweetheart, I miss your embrace

Take me to you, embrace me, never let go

Shatter me under the beats of your heart, let me divvy with your breath

Fade away … dissolve into nothingness

Death by Music

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

To have a roof above your head, dance to their tune

To feed your family, dance to their tune

To find a job, dance to their tune

To keep your job, dance to their tune

To get medicated, dance to their tune

To travel abroad, dance to their tune

To polish reputation, dance to their tune

To get good references, dance to their tune

To avoid prison, dance to their tune

To breath, dance to their tune

To stay alive, dance to their tune

Yes, rejoice and keep dancing

What is left of you?

A lifeless, miserable corpse, emaciated

A sac of skin, filled with doom and gloom

Rattling bones, dancing to their tune

Eternal Love Story

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Once upon a velvet night … A Jerusalemite night

The moon approached the moon

Two moons embraced

Like, true lovers, they gazed and exchanged tenderness

The moon whispered to his beloved’s ear

Sweetheart, let me dry your tears

Your tears shook the Throne of the Most Sublime

Your dignified sighs shattered the cosmos

Yesterday, my beloved

Epoch told us a story

About a Universe

Who fell in love with a moon

A never ending love story

Between Eternal and mortal, Infinite and finite

Heaven and Earth entwined

Planets bowed down, and stars prostrated in awe

Between a rock and Paradise

A rope of light unfurled

Here, galaxies kissed earth

Here, prophets prayed in adoration

Here, an oath… Here, a promise

Here, joy, bliss and delight

Here, souls of martyrs flew above

Buoyant, to drumbeats below

Here, the chanting of angels

Following footsteps of the messenger

Here, the sound of truth is loud and powerful

Here, falsehood is defeated

Here, darkness of oppression does not stand a chance

Here, hearts are consoled, wounds are healed

A Refugee

Posted on September 6, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

I too, was once a refugee

Shipped away in a truck

Wearing two dresses and jumper

In the heat of summer June

Fearing for her children,

Mama, ran away with four daughters

The oldest was seven and new born baby boy

Thousands upon thousands, fleeing for safety

Unlike many, I survived the bombing

Unlike many, didn’t drown at sea

Day after day, I waited to go home

Listening to the news, ever since

Hoping to hear “Palestinians, time to return”

A refugee in Libya, stranger in a strange land

Teacher asked, “where are you from?”

Full of pain, guilt and shame

I couldn’t pronounce the name

Lips sealed, and mouth dried out

I trembled and cried, sobbed out loud

Palestine, Palestine, Palestine

Raged in my anguished brain

Living on donation and UN aid

Flour and oil and sardine cans

Used clothes and shoes with holes

Too much to bear, for self-respecting souls

Children too, weep loss of dignity

Rob of homeland and rape of identity

Children too ache of humiliation

Of having no place to call home

Absurdities

Posted on June 7, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

BRAINTEASER

Look,

What a viscous “antisemitic” Palestinian apple, trying to bite the poor innocent knife and crunch its bones to pieces

Save the knife from being “ethnically cleansed”

* * *

BRAIN-TWISTER

Zionism is Jewish Nationalism

“israel” is the Jewish state

“israel” is committing Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity

BUT

All the above has absolutely nothing to do with Jews, Jewish people, Jewishness or Judaism

OK ?

Of Love and Hate

Posted on February 24, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Love and hate are matters of the heart

Cannot be enforced by law

Or threats of war

A simple fact

Those without insight

Fail to comprehend

""Hey, all you antisemites out there, I demand you love ME or else""

You cannot “demand” love at gun point

Lawsuits, might win you a case

But never once, a genuine smile

Premium bank accounts guarded by guns

Might surround you by bowing hypocrites

Respect however, you could never buy

Love and respect are earned

By kindness, humbleness

Compassion, honesty and fairness

Your humanity and overall character

Or denied, by lack thereof

Love and hate are matters of the heart

NOT a Sell Out

Posted on January 13, 2015 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

This heart, where sorrow dwells

Refuses to surrender

Madly in pain

Stubborn and defiant

Snatches a moment of joy

To fly above the masses of agony

His outcry… NO

I am NOT a sell out
