I have lived for all of my life without a sister, I could have survived and went on forever, Without any trouble, nor a single disaster, A fate is a fate; I couldn't change a single matter, She doesn't like poems; neither is she a speller, But smart and cute, enthusiastic and younger, New feelings were pouring into me, cuz of her, Feelings of having a new person, a new sister, I kept my distance from her at about a meter, Maybe cuz it's my first time to sense a sister, Not screaming and fighting against each other, Neither pretending to be invisible, but rather, Being next to me sharing a smile together, We will sit on a hill at night in the winter, Cold as it is, but we would share the heater, Heater of my and her body embedded together, Feeling comfort and secure will turn it into summer, Under the shining stars we lighten forever. 24-Apr-2007
Stretching out on the golden diminutive granules, Opening the eyes resisting the sun's blazing beam, Barefoot and toes dancing through the cold breeze, Holding a 'bottled letter' on the right hand; relaxing. Dozing then waking from a toddler's joyous laugh, Sitting up still grasping the poorly shaped letter, Finding it rather attractive but it spoke of tomorrow, Days of reconciliation from the bitter yesterday. The author named "I"; the date not far from today, From an indefinite location but a language I speak, Written from right-to-left starting with اللهم لك الحمد, Saddened by the beauty of tears, yet, optimistic. "I" spoke of the ancestral origins of the humans, Of the morals and values shared by the individuals, Of the pin-pointed differences referred by organs, And of the true path sought for a better tomorrow. There the calligraphy ended before a tiny full-stop, Folding the 'bottled letter' in halves and once again...
Deep within my pulsating crimson restful flesh, I mourned the day I lost track of a dear entity, Differences poisoning the mind with a shut gob, But a believer of the One, the Most Merciful, Not a close relative but a very precious brother, Emotionless did he become as if a soulless object, Crucial thoughts wonder in the middle of nowhere, Mirage oases to follow ignoring the nutritious forest, Diving into confusions of the chaotic black abyss, Soon to forget the hanging rope and my existence, Returning to Earth under the seven heavens above, With a greeting from the unsolved puzzled face, Writing within my pulsating crimson restful flesh.
