Thobe Poems | Examples


Ecstasy

ECSTASY

 O morning breeze of West and South Asia

 Let my soul sip sherbet
 From your breasts like lily of the Incas 

 Nightingale of the night,
 The aroma of your voice,
 So sweet and soothing as the Messiah's breath
 Is the seven goddesses of Hellenistic World's melody

 And your sable tresses , 
 Full of Flowers of Taif
 Whose fragrance,
 Is the royal perfume of the Pharaohs
 Lull my inner sorrows to repose

 Mi orgullo and drighten of my soul ,
 In the sea of grief - I crave for solace from you - please do not forsake me !

 Here's a keffiyeh - here's a thobe or kandura
 Wear them!
Your curvy body I yearn to see 

 Into your heart's prison, 
 I am girded - Please keep me from the world of separation

 With your love,
 Neither world nor family is needed
 For to your soul I am entangled in saecula saeculorum.

Noir

It’s the rewrite of horrors noir, with no thobe, just a Kufi, and dirty black sweats. 

Vibrations striking ears with no lobes show precisely how dirty black gets.

A screenshot of a touchscreen keyboard shows the flows when nerdy blacks fret.

Colossal pets are healed and rebuilt by the pens of wordy black vets. 

That fish looks good, Girl.

Get the oil ready, while I toil steady on the soil levy, to keep my domain imminent.
I’l be back for lunch, libations, and lineaments, while we plan our way out of cursed tenements.

Massage my back with that juicy a**. Attach a nipple to my goose skin flask, and I’ll revise the countenance on your Tutsi mask, and rewrite the  horrors noir.

The Bedouin's Song

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 little things 
I put in a sack 
That may not fit 
With countrysiders' appetites 
Or urbanites'

My homeland: 
All this infinite expanse 
Of deep beige sands 

My sole companion: 
A faithful camel 
Who carries me 
And all my stuff 
Together we cross the endless desert 
And when I sing
Some cameleer song
He gets so light 
Out of delight
And makes as if to fly 
Towards the sky

The Magician

The Magician.

The man in the -white as snow- thobe looked like a statue of
the saviour, as seen in protestant churches. He walked amongst 
people at the farmers market, gently spoke about this and that, 
maybe the price of cucumbers?  What do I know?
 Soon he had a fan base; people liked him and asked questions 
that had more to do with metaphysical reasoning than the cost 
of agricultural products. 
This disturbed authorities, was the stranger sowing seditious 
thoughts in people’s mind? And his thobe it repelled dust and 
was always clean? 
He was arrested and put in a police cell. When detectives came 
to interrogate him he wasn’t there, only his thobe, which, the label 
on the inside, read: made in China.
