Amr Poems | Examples


Arabic

To you Arabic might sound like
Can't get your mind around sound
That dances on the tip of a tongue
Like an exotic dancer,
Like can't trust words that rise
Up from the back of a throat
Like a growl-
Might sound like alarm bells
Going off like-look!- a foreigner-
What if he blows up the plane?

To me... it sounds like an old friend
Whose name you almost remember,
Like my best friend's father 
Calling her name with an accent
I didn't notice for years-
Like Amr Diab, since his music
Is awesome-
Like you can say salaam
To any Muslim in the world 
And he'll greet you as if he is
Your brother...
What sounds to you like-
Satanic chanting?-
To me sounds like the words
Of a prayer...
Sounds like a love poem,
Sounds like a lullaby,
Sounds like salaam 
Means peace.

Multiple Spring Times

Sitting by the window
Wondering what I see
A lady bug?
The spanse of woods?
Or, a bit of you in me?
The quiet is so deafening
Mere existence and the sound of shared breathing
Sun tow amr the cold that grows, continues, and surrounds.
Physical distance ends,
Momentarily,
As the real journey begins
