A forbidden poem you
A forbidden you from the entrance O my lover on it
Forbidden that my grope of the evil cure the white or my ice fingers
Forbidden that you sit ..Or you whisper ..Or you leave your hands in its hands
Forbidden that my bearing is from our house in Al-Sham ..
Flock of the pigeons
Or a jasmine ..Or a rose Guriya
Forbidden that my bearing of me a doll I hug her ..
Or you recite to me the dwarfs story and the beautiful princess and the pound ..
In the heart patients suite O my lover ..
They confiscate the love and the longings and the secret messages ..
You do not gasp ..If I read the exciting news in the daily newspapers
The horse may feel the exhaustion O my lover
When he hammers the first hoof in Damascus
And the other hoof is in the solar system
My cohesion ..In these hours O my lover
When the poet decides that he is pierced by the letters ..
The globe skin ..
And if is its heart of an apple
The children bite it in the popular alleys ..
And when the poet tries that he makes from his poetry
Loaves ..The hungry eat it for the baking and for the freedom
The death will not be an emergency matter ..
Because who writes O my lover ..
He carries in its papers that the cordial slaughtered ..
I hope you that you smile .. I hope you that you smile ..
O Iraq palm, O the sparrow of night El Rasafa
Al Shaer 's angina is not at all a personal case
Ales suffices that I left to the children by Uday a language
And I left for the lovers an alphabet ..
My covers are white ..
And the time, and the hours, and the days all are white
And I direct the nurses around me the books of their papers are white
Do from the possible O my lover؟
If you put a thing from the red over the smooth lip
A month ago and I ..I dream as the children that she visits me
A red big butterfly ..
I request pens then do not give me pens ..
I request my days that have not days
I ask them a pill that inserts me in the dreams world
Until the sleep grains she has been used to a homosexual on the bright ..No growth ..
If I came to me a visiting ..
You tried that you dress the decades, and the strange rings the stones
And you tried that you wear the forests and the trees ..
And you tried that you wear a delightful hat as the flowers exhibition
, I got tired of Al Kls 's headquarters ..And from the dialogue circles ..
What does the eager O my lover in this individual cell
And between us the doors, and the guards, and the conventional orders ..
And between us more than of thousand light years ..
What he does eager for the love and for the playing on the ivory fingertips
And the heart is still in the house arrest ..
You do not feel the sin O my baby .. You do not feel the sin ..
, each woman loved her ..
She has bequeathed me an angina in the heart .
The doctor will of me :
That I do not say the poetry a complete year ..
And I do not see your eyes a complete year ..
And I do not see the changes of the sea in the violet eye
Allah ..Quantity the guardian amuses me ..
