Ahmad asked Auntie;
It is hello not hallo,
I answered ;how I can greet any one
with Hell…o my dear?
He said it is language my auntie
I said,it is me my dear!!!
The blind care taker greeted me
salam my child
the buses and cars won’t slow for me
to cross busy roads
the old dog wanted to cross
I crossed alone
wonder if ever
he will be there…
A new movie
the pophet and his wives
catoons and all
He complained his god was kidnapped
I advised him to get a brand new one
new is better than old
He said I am the ocean
he vanished
I bet he was drowned in another ocean
His own emotions
I would say !!
The child went back
looking for Mum
but Mum
was not there !!!
17 November 2008- Cairo
Nostalgia…
do not ever bury me there
or there
or there
my home is the ocean
my birth place
and final stop
for me
will be there…
The globe is soooooo small
the human beings are no fun
will you please return me
to no where
Nowhere is soooooooo wide
so open
tell me please
how I can
get there…
Ameera will paint my face
happy
and Ahmed will dance
with me
Alaa is beauty
belly dancing is spirit lifting
that how they greeted me !!!
17-November 2008
Fly with me to the ocean bottom
play with big fish
or small
do not ring the bell
and announce it is time
to go home
my dear
because I am not going
anywhere with you!!!
Well I will be waiting
for you
not because you will come
but because waiting for you
is less painful
than waiting
for death
the final show !!!
Distractions
till waves finally arrive
and never leave
my ocean is dead
till waves arrive
when waves arrive
I will leave !!!
He sang my song
I cried
the words were the same
but the music
he changed
Traitor: I said
Creative: He said !!!
To the horizon,I walked on waves
my destiny was waiting
a boat to cross me
behind the horizon
there,we will meet !!!
when the moon packs its light
and rides its carriage
going on holiday
come
and play in the shy light
stars light
you will love it
and you may forget
how the moon light
used to look like.
Another day crawled
in a minute he will learn
to walk
to run
then ages
and turns gray
then vanishes
I keep asking
where do days go !!!
18 November 2008
Behind my days,you will find my songs
hiding from the whole universe
My songs are shy
they are deaf mute
come…
and listen to my songs…
Never will visit the desert again
your desert is so alone
my desert is so joyful
your desert has never learnt how to be
happy though lonely
and
alone !!!
Geriatric ward:
1-
Frail,Alziemar is my mask
barely remember
my own name
is it my name?
treated as a child
dripple allover me!!!
2-
You avoided looking at me
I avoided looking at you
you discovered my secret
I discovered yours
sanity is locked in your eyes
insanity is your mask
my insanity is free
running in my back yard!!!
21 November 2008
Do not come back yet
wait till world get through
adolescence phase
then come back
for your final touch
on earth
peace,
( as if it will ever lasts)!!!
Egyptian song
the old old river
the past
the present
that present has divorced
the future!!!
The present decided no more
And hold my hand
and walk me the streets of Cairo
do not walk so quick
slow down darling
I want to smell the past
in each corner…
The empty streets on Friday morning
welcomed me
Cairo was still in bed
I was not
the castle looked at me
I stared back
I still remember
the old days are renewed
welcome
a new era
a new day
without tomorrow to make it
into history!!!
Restless
the song is not finished
no memory will follow
the rhythem is not loud
the words
are not mine
goodbye
for a while…
