What thou shalt be wasted? With the ship of sorrow harboured. Like it gives thee an unexpected explosion, And the heart of trauma and darkness is implanted. It clouds into a season of bloodshed and pain, But all thy life seems to be bludgeoned. Tumbled into a canvas of time, As thou shalt find a euphoric heart abused. No description of fear...

“Oh people of this temporary world.. May you enjoy the abundance of its trivial offerings.. You have no clue of what I see and yearn for.. And, how could you, as the death is the end of the road.. But, for the lover, it’s the union with the beloved.. the end of waiting and suffering.. To light up the world...

At sad dawn, your magic dust loses its ability. The sun refuses to leave; I urge her to shutter. You can have me any place you wish with you. My heart is overjoyed,...

I'm just a bedouin: I live in a tent - Cozy an' fair Its fabric woven From rough goat-hair- A shady cover In the summer A rain-proof shelter In the winter My possessions: A single garment - a loose black robe I call a thobe A pair of worn out sandals A coffee kit And other...
