lead me from the Wadi Musa to the humble ingress of Petra,
saying with thrill, the Jin of your Jihad...

Universal Soldier
Lay me to rest in marbled halls with angels at my head,
not lying here in the mud of Ypres with khaki turning red.
Let me die a noble death, one that's worth fighting for,
not to avenge...

Water
I watched the raindrops
one by one they fell
they filled an empty hole
till it became a well
every word of yours is dew
like this rain I seek
the hole here large and empty

The Daredevil Rescue
Stranded in war torn Sudan,
Dreading yet another dawn.
In Wadi Sayyidna town,
Hopelessness was weighing down.
Men and women, young and old,
Watched the civil war unfold.
Homeless, desperate, full of fear,
Longing for their near...

Gambol On the Rain If Been
Days, goes, in day another days, strawberry, spirit, to honour
Ignite old tyres, that is, choke in lung, keep in the mouth your water “ I don’t know”

Giving life where’er they go

Arabian Paradise
Maa’mool winds wash over me
In antique moonlight I merge with the spirit of Wadi Shab
Following the worn paths through the orchards
To discover the hidden mysteries of Mibam
Commonplace melodies of the qanun and maqrum
Become new again...

My Africa
My Serengeti
I have neglected to visit my “Africa”, the flatland between
two hills that appear like a young mother`s breasts.
I know the trees and bushes, used to drive there to say hello.
Time changes I have no...

Poetry Wadi
Will the well run dry
This think and feel flow?
Or maybe there's an alchemy down here
Catalytically constructing stanzas
Like spiders to kill prey weave webs...

Jordanian Itinerancy
Across lands of streets, stone and desert
A breeze in a waltz for trees to avert,
I flow with the freedom of a river in a bay
Across mountains and winds with passion I sway
From the historical Petra,...

Bedouin Eyes - With Apologies To Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
I bought a fine-bred stallion for a thousand dinars
And navigate the wadi by the light of the stars,
Oasis to oasis as the desert bird flies,
Enchanted by the beauty of your Bedouin eyes.
Though bandits and siroccos...

Hay Day
Hay Day
June day, perfect day for turning hay fields,
A great day for it, happiness it yields.

But a lasting memory that's forever cherished.
I scurry to the tractor with...

Traces
The love that ends leaves traces, why not?
Even in the great desert, Troy, Samothrace,
On hot sand and mint tea, see it
On the blue oranges, on the green moon,
Love leaves traces in the eyes, traces
