Ameni Letaief Poem
Weeping in the dark
Eating tasteless prose
Suddenly, there was a spark
A kind of bless and a curse
Do I have to apply my skills?
So that you know who you are
I told you once, I am a simple writer
I am nothing close to a star
But, you are indeed a sky
Full of wisdom and love
A cloud that rains on humanity
An angel sent from above
It is not about how much you helped me
Material things come and go
It is about the way you looked through me
About the beauty and flaw
Travelling is poetic
But, what is travelling without a good friend?
And you have been that friend to me
A depth within depth
A theatrical performance I loved to attend
I am not going to thank you
To be formal and polite
Formality is superficial
Politeness is too kind
And I am neither formal nor professional
I am too messy, but alright
So tell me what should I say about a mind that is so vast?
A river that keeps flowing
That will never end, but last
What should I say about a heart so pure?
Applying my skills is a must
But, I ran out of descriptions and metaphors
Excuse my non-poetic lust
So, tell me what is after the “So”
Do I have to pack my words and go
But, my words are endless
I will just go with a flow
Yet, even if I keep writing and writing
You will never come to know
Because I cannot describe what cannot be described
I cannot create words even if I get bribed
You are more than a description
You are what I am still trying to understand
You are a myth, a fairytale
It lasts for centuries and does not end
I am grateful that you have changed my mind
About what I believed was true
I can’t believe I under estimated myself
But how do I know? I had no clue
And now I feel alive once again
I am grateful for bringing me back
what I wanted to let go
is it time to say thank you?
IF IT MEANS YES THEN FOR ME IT’S NO

Ameni Letaief Poem
Babe , how does it feel to be mine?
How does it feel to pour on your body red wine
I ll drink it sip by sip
There will be no chapter I want to skip
Your hair I will flip
I ll kiss you from your neck to your hip
I am a soft music
You are a porno clip
And I can’t get my hands away from you
Nor my tongue on your lower lip
Babe how does it feel to scream your name
To lay helpless in your arms without shame
To play your own little game
To see me weak and lame
To add fire to my flame
How does it feel to tell you “ I came”
Babe, you are a deadly sin and I want to die in you
I want to taste your poison like a little hoe
I will get up and low
I ll watch your desires grow
Babe I am down for the show
Torture me hard and slow
Your body is the language I know
Babe how does it feel to make me yours ?
I will follow you and abide by the rules
Open your legs the way you open doors
Take me in to all the floors
I am ready to start no war but wars
Babe , are you covered with bloody wine
Are you breathless or just fine
I want your hands to replace mine
And touch me soflty but leave a sign
You made cross the line
I am yours, you are mine

Ameni Letaief Poem
I am nothing but a simple writer
Trying to find my place in the world
In the battle of existence
I am my own fighter
I am a lonely and a dying bird
My life is covered with death
Please don’t you take the cover
Don’t undress my darkness and fear
Don’t reveal what I don’t want to unravel
I am nothing but a simple writer
Why are you looking for a famous hand?
I am not the person you should be looking for
I am what you can’t stand
Go search for metaphors, for comparisons and paradoxes
My work does not include all of that
My writings have nothing to do with the poetic forms
My work is empty and flat
So what are you looking for?
Are you looking for the empty me?
I have already sold my soul
To create a bittersweet tragedy
I am nothing but a simple writer
You do not have to read my words
In the battle of poetry
I am the only fighter
I have no weapons or swords

Ameni Letaief Poem
We met at the last station
Where broken dreams were repaired
Where hearts were left behind
Where love can be shared
We were always late
None of us ever came in time
The clock never united us
We were united by something stronger
The waiting, the anticipation
The intense desires
The mini bus came
It was pale like our faces
Crowded with tasteless souls
But, we were joyful
Deep inside we were happy to be together
In pale faces and reddish ones
Music was on ,we started to feel high
We inhaled the rhythm
And exhaled love
We reached the promising place
It was empty ,but full of us
The sea was angry, the wind was sad
The combination of sadness and anger
Paved the way to clouds
And created a beautiful storm
But , no one has noticed the storm of the feelings we had
Breakfast was laid on the sand
We didn’t have that much
Only cheap food mixed with an unconditional love
Music was on again
Our voices were the singer
And our bodies were the drums
What a messy combination
The place was empty but, full of us
Full of love, desire and lust
We were the everything and the nothing
The bond, the friendship and trust
What a messy combination of
Pale faces and reddish hearts

Ameni Letaief Poem
I smelled your scent in the port
I saw the city lights
While sipping my cheap coffee in the cold
A smile fell from my eyes
Only then I knew ,time has come for goodbyes
I have never wanted to let you go
And cut the heart I had
I promised to take it real slow
Because deep inside I was afraid
Here I am now consuming the nature and moving ahead
But, I will never forget you for you are my tasty cake
You and I are alike
Sometimes I can’t compare
I can feel your loneliness
I am sober and aware
At the start of the poem
I have never thought this is going to be for you
But, I couldn’t stop my hand from writing about a heart that is so true
Wherever I might be remember, I will come back for the show

Ameni Letaief Poem
Your flaws aren’t flaws to me
Your scars aren’t as well
You are a beautiful art
Made on earth and sold in hell
