The Sky Takes Off the Moon
Keep all vows
Rajah the ring with prayer
And may I ask
"Why when the sky
You hide behind the moon”
Your face is so red in front of me
Silence the story
Close your eyes
And don't you
Changing course
Especially shivering
When it rains Wetting the body.
Let it be a pen of livestock
Waiting in the fields
And you can choose
Which one will you guard?
Because the memories have left
And went to meet Him
To
the Sea
I've heard stories about storms,
the smell of salt pressing into my body
and then creeping as if it wanted to return to the ocean.
On the most distant island the coral
looks barren looking for shade on drooping leaves
To you the sea every word on the lips
often heard when if always sparkling in my eyeballs.
My
Rhyme Magic
After the shipwreck he no longer
spoke so take it before dawn even
though it had to be followed by a
knock on the door that was never
patient because debts were being
fought over and over again
The clouds broke in the air
the leaves grow back to ward off the
wind and I don't think we need any
promises let alone meet to continue
walking because the color of the
flower on the left chest has faded
So you hurry up to the top of the hill,
then wait for the rainbow because
your eyes are sharper than longing
even though you have previously finished off the cause.
For that reason, just keep quiet and
circle while you look at the two or
three stars in the sky but don't worry
because your dreams will
come with the magic of my poetry in your body.
Palestina In Love
Palestine, on your holiday you weep
and bring your brothers to lonely
graves. and later, if someone comes to you,
day or night, and asks: "about the burning houses,
the children crying in the rubble"
just say that we have buried it all in our hearts,
and if anyone asks you to tell us about open wounds point
your finger to the sky, that's where we are,
a place far from ruins and flames.
My beloved Palestine, open all the windows,
so that the wind can play
with the tendrils of your hair. then save all your heart slowly,
because in it are planted thousands of fragrant flowers
that always appear at night.
God, I hope that a seed of love for Palestine will
no longer fall again,
even though now everything has become fire and ashes.
Persuade & Seduce Yourself
There is something so eternal in your
eyes like light in space where
have you been? even though all
the persuasions have asked you to pay
off a thousand debts for fallen leaves every day
You can just turn away then sharpen
the sword for the new tree but take
a look sometime if the clouds are
with the moon to make it rain when you miss him.
You can't hide let alone just
throwing stones so that the echo
can be heard while there are not a few dishes wasted at the dinner
table.
So immediately persuade
seduce yourself, don't give him all the praise,
because the wind will soon come to crush all your dreams.
Another Light
Can't hide anymore
And it has to be said
When the light comes
To show his face
Remembering for a moment
What's missing
As he frowned
If there are stone chips
In the middle of licking the remaining water
On both feet
As previously
The steps are not certain
As someone who
Loves light
He had to take off
What is called
A pile of dreams.
Even though at that time,
He could only guess
If he was no longer cursed with loneliness.
Mawar Hani
From the river of my soul,
I see your bottom is blown away
Then crawling around worriedly
I tried closing my eyes
So that you can feel the wind
While enjoying the humming of the song About:
"Are there still wounds? From a bunch of Hani roses,"
Unfinished Poems
A poem I haven't finished writing yet who wants to
read you?
suddenly you want to go to the moon,
while you are so complicated you can't read it.
I haven't finished writing the poem yet.
Don't make a tempest in your every sentence,
then I'll get angry and I'll take you to coals that are hotter than the sun.
A poem I haven't finished writing yet
let the leaves on your body be watered by the rain,
so that you will be shadier than a thousand raindrops that fall in the rivers.
O, the poem I haven't finished writing yet come to the adventurous girl
who always wants to sing with you.
INTO
THE NIGHT
Thirty naked birds without feathers,
melts into "me". Isn't that love allowed for others?
Love is indeed higher,
more than a hundred moons,
a hundred stars and a hundred suns.
(I've lost to Goethe, Hafidz, Jami..)
and today, I'm kneeling again, waiting for "I-mu."
Yes, now I can never get out of the definition of
love poetry
and today I gave up defeat then fly again with a naked body,
not wanting to fall asleep, let alone melting.
