Hesitant
Zooming in
Getting closer
Expecting a tedious bore
To my surprise
I found a pearl
Hidden in the deep
Concealed
By layers of my ignorance
Thrill is never over
Every layer I peel
Reveals still
Beauty beyond imagination
I wonder
What will I find
If I ever get to the core

I want to take you out
.
I want to hold your heart
In my little palm
.
.
Take you out, just for a day
Show you the world
.
.
Drifting with the breeze
Sitting on an autumn leaf
.
.
Flying with humming birds
Bouncing on clouds
.
.
Riding backs of dolphins
Diving with blue whales
.
.
Sliding on a rainbow
Painting ruby skies
.
.
I want to take you out
Show you the world
.
.
Gliding between mountains
With colourful butterflies
.
.
Surfing seas and oceans
Swimming in the Nile
.
.
Floating between galaxies
Counting night stars
.
.
Racing with twilight
Travelling throughout time
.
.
I want to take out
Show you the world
.
.
Holding on your hand
Clinging to your heart
Just come with me
.
Come with me

I think of You
Splendid thoughts
Buds through my soul
Sublime and beautiful
* * *
* * *
Majestic waves
of love so great
Runs through my being
Serene and graceful
Tender and pure

Looking around
My eyes delight
Beauty bubbles in every corner
My heart swells with love, uncontainable
Sparkles of tenderness fall down as rain
Overwhelmed with gratefulness
I kneel down and pray
Lifted up
Uplifted
Swept off my feet,
I pop, I jump, I fly
My soul fills with colour
Besotted I swirl
And sing with joy

I am but a speck of dust
Lost in this vast cosmos
Inside my mind
Hides the entire universe
.
At the heart of soul of this speck of dust
Lives the Most magnificent, Most Sublime
The Creator of all
* * *
WOW
I gasp in awesome wonder

When the sun shines every morning
It does not think what if someone objects to its heat
It would Just give its best, anyway
When twilight falls in the evening
It does not care who would curse its darkness
It would just embrace all, anyway
When Sky gates flung open to relinquish earth
It does not hesitate in case some passers by would get wet
It would just rain anyway
When you align yourself with the Most Sublime
You would not consider how people see you;
Would they mock you
Would they belittle you
Would they hurt you
Or would they even kill you
You’re constantly content
Perpetually in magnificent harmony
Like stillness in the eye of the storm
You would just BE, anyway

This poem is dedicated to my friend Genie (Palestine Rose)
When you write raw
You leave your heart exposed
Unmasked
Unprotected
It will carry many cuts and bruises
It might even bleed its life out
I too, write raw
Not to appease
Neither to please
And certainly not to hurt or cause harm
Not to praise or to be praised
Not to condemn or put anyone down
But to heal and ease the pain
Of an injured world
With which I fell madly in love
Long before the day I was born
I hear rivers and oceans weeping I go to pieces
I see the tears running down sky’s face,
I melt away, I go insane
I would peel off the kernel of my soul
I would crush my being to nothingness
I would dwindle and wither away
I would set my heart ablaze
To see a child smile
Take my heart
Take my heart
grind it down
Sprinkle the dust over this tormented world
Turn it to compost
Let it feed love-hungry souls
In the palm of my hand I hold my heart, tender and sore
With delight I give it away
Watch the blossoms budding around
As one child smiles again
Wouldn’t you?

Holding on my hand
Strolling away
How could I resist
A tender baby’s hand
Embraced in mine
***
How could I let go
Of baby’s little fingers
Wrapped around mine
How could I remember
Fears, worries, illusions
When angels hover,
Forever, by my side
My heart is giggling
Her hand in mine
My mind is fizzing
Her world is mine
I came from there
Have always been
There I belong
Her world is mine
Where fairies dance in lavender valleys
Where grass grows tall, untamed and wild
.
Where butterflies have names
Grasshoppers play games
Back-floating they dream
.
Where babies dive
Splashing in rivers
Of daisies and jasmine
.
Where angels swim in milky-ways
Leaving trails of stardust behind
I came from there
Have always been
There I belong
Her world is mine
Floating with children
Smiling at rabbits
Chatting to fairies
My heart is giggling
Her hand in mine
Look, look up there
Flapping my wings
Jumping high then falling down
Her hand in mine
Her eyes of stars
Glowing with glee
Such innocent face
Such radiant light
And heavenly grace
O sweet my baby
Tender and pure
O smile my baby
Come heal and cure
Your hand in mine
Your world is mine
I look at her
In awesome wonder
Then sings my soul
Her hand in mine
Tiny and tender
Her hand in mine
I look at her
In awesome wonder
Then sings my soul
Her world is mine
Serene sublime
Her world is mine
Her world is mine

فكما تتشقق الأرض لتنبت زهرة
وكما يتفتت الصخر فتكبر بذرة
كذا العمر يفنى
فعقل يُدّك
وقلب يُشّق
وروح تُفتق
و تسقط عَبرة وتُخنق عَبرة
لتُبعث نفس
وتزهر مهجة
وتولد فكرة
.
Birth
As soil pushed apart for a flower to grow
As a rock split asunder for a seed to bloom
Thus life gets eroded
Mind grinned
Heart crushed
Soul squeezed
A fallen tear… a smothered tear
Resurrection
Blossom
A thought is born

From the womb of agony
Dreams are born
Sweet and pure
We nourish and groom
And watch them grow
After living in us
Long enough
They come alive
Before we know it
We start living in them
Living…them
