The Small things.

It is not the fancy things that shine.

That will make us rich.

It’s a word, a smile, a hug or a line.

It’s the small things that the heart cherishes.

A grateful gift, a lovely rose,

a morning kiss or a goodbye dish.

It’s the things that money cannot buy.

endless gold and silver cannot pay.

it’s the world’s priceless cure.

It’s what make our souls pure.

Love, affection and devotion.

Are all noble emotions.

And a merciful master’s creation

For its fragile creatures.

to appreciate all life’s features

its giver has endless payback.

and its receiver has magnificent luck.

They are small gifts.

That money cannot buy.

, yet they can be given without a Why.

The richer in heaven is not a money saver.

Indeed, he is the small things best giver.

Share your love as is if there is no tomorrow.

A small thing can demolish mountains of sorrow.

My irreplaceable gift.

You help me whenever I am in need.

I know you will offer help before I plead.

To my land you were the seed.

You are my irreplaceable gift.

You blame me whenever I am wrong.

, but we never dry up for so long.

Indeed, when I am weak, you make me strong.

You are my irreplaceable gift.

 

With your witty jokes, you know to fade my fear away.

Like the light you brighten my way.

To thank you I don’t have enough words to say…

You are my irreplaceable gift.

 

In this strange world that comes and goes,

our friendship is our invincible cause.

You are my unbreakable weapon and fragile rose.

You are my irreplaceable gift.

 

With only you I can be bold.

With you I don’t fear looking odd.

I want you to hold my hand until we get old

You are my irreplaceable gift.

Me, Myself and I

My feet walked on water.

My head won thousand battles.

I am a warrior in a wild game.

When surviving is the only aim

Down in life’s streets, I stretch my worn-out legs.

and race with my destiny.

We bounce together back and forth,

Once I defeat him, and once he beats me.

I have been to hell and back thousand times.

I know hell piece by piece since I accompanied devils for my entire life.

They are my enemies and friends,

for they were with me in my darkest times.

They thought me that being bad is not too bad.

And being good will not always be the best choice.

I knew loss’s taste before I was born.

I lost peace the day I saw my world.

I found solace in self-made stories.

They give me hope to carry my fight on.

My fight is not like any other fights.

Don’t judge the blood on my hands.

It’s no one else’s,

but mine.

I fight for no land.

I am my land, and my land is an idea

The idea of self’s love.

How love gathers with wars?

Love is a feeling with no place.

It can be found even in a war space.

for a worthy life, I fight.

I was born in hell, yet I dreamed of light.

God’s Tower

Oh God! In front of your tower I stand

Oh tower! Tyrant of my memories

Oh Heavens! Your holy doors I bang

Oh Lord! My old misdeeds are lemures

 

Oh tower! Tyrant of my memories

I ask thee lord to forgive my sins of the past

Oh Lord! My old misdeeds are lemures

My heart full of bitterness and tears falling like mast

 

I ask thee lord to forgive my sins of the past

My God! May you heal my shattered heart

My heart full of bitterness and tears falling like mast

Ever since from thy light I has’t been apart

 

My God! May you heal my shattered heart

My crying had never been so quiet, yet so loud

Ever since from thy light I has’t been apart

My only desire is to climb your tower and see the Magellanic cloud.

The Story of the Stray Cat

I met a cat; he was all alone

Living on the street, couldn’t make it on his own

He was thin and scrawny and oh so sad

I just had to help; he wasn’t bad

He roamed the streets, searching for friends

But all he found were cold hearts and empty hands

He was so lonely and went out of control

Until that day, he met a kind soul

He told me his story of how he’d been left behind

and fend for himself, so wild!

But now he was getting old, and he couldn’t do it alone

so he’d been looking for a human to take him home

I told him I was sorry, but I couldn’t take him in

I have already reached my limit with my other feline

But I said I’d help him, and I would be his friend

and I would make sure he got home safe and sound in the end

I took him in, and now he’s mine.

He eats and sleeps and is just fine.

He loves to play and chase his tail.

And he doesn’t make much of a wail.

Dig Your Grave 

Life is paradise if you pay the price 

If you have haters, this means you are nice 

We can’t judge a dice by a nice advice 

Even pure angels are hated by evils 

************************** 

A gene is dangerous when pleiotropic 

Single but narcotic 

Targeting one thousand and one topic 

This fatal predator lives in the soul; he is chronic 

************************** 

Why examining a pedigree analysis 

If not detecting goodness paralysis 

If not providing a mental dialysis 

Soul diseases are the worst. This is my synthesis 

************************** 

Wolfs, with their malignity, are everywhere 

Spreading their perversity here and there 

Destroying immunities with no-care 

People are dying, and they are lying 

Spraying tear gas in the universal air 

************************** 

We are leaves on the tree of life. I believe 

A leaf has a role; he must achieve 

Achieve a goal and find meaning to live 

A noble meaning far from trapping victims in a sizzling grave 

************************** 

A sly fox who lost his charming tail 

Wants all foxes out-rail 

He failed, so the world should fail 

He conspires with the media beasts to hide his wail 

Breaking News: Life is better with no tail 

************************** 

I’m not trying to place a blame 

But in a world full of the same pain 

These savages played a cruel game 

And to get fame, named it with a fake glittering name 

************************** 

The world’s sorcerers are combatting awareness 

Are destroying consciousness 

Because dead-living puppets are easier to control, they are careless 

They are helpless, they are hopeless, they are harmless 

************************** 

Who are you making fun of, my dear? 

I know that there are many innocents who fear 

Wait till the day the awareness chemo will reappear 

Then, dear cancer, dig your grave and disappear 

 

الطير حلق 

 الطير حلق والورود تنادي  فحبيبتي تحلوا بها اعيادي 

 نبع من الأخلاق يبعث في الدنا نورا أضاء جبالها والوادى  

لا تسألوا عما جرى لما رأتها العين كيف سرى الهوى لفؤادي 

 لا يسأل القلب المحب عن الذي ألقى الإله به فزاد سهادي 

 فالعشق أرق مقلتي حتى اشتكت منى المضاجع واستجار وسادي 

 حاولت أن أخفي ولكن الذي في القلب فاق الكبر بل و عنادي 

 هي نعمة الرحمن تسكن مهجتي مالي سواها مؤنس ببلادي 

 هي جنة في الأرض طاب نعيمها ولقد تعانق حبها وودادي 

 ولصوتها احلى و اندى من حداء الطير أصبح في البلابل شادي  

ستغار ازهار الحدائق كلما تمشي بها في رقة و تنادي 

 محبوبها من جاء يركض مسرعا ليرى أنيس الروح في الميعاد 

 يا رب فاجمع بيننا واكتب لنا قربا به نحيا يغيظ معادي  

سأظل اكتب وصف من احببتها ما دام يجري في اليراع مدادي 

 

How does it feel to be a burden, dear ?  

Suffocated by your deep loneliness  

How much longer could you endure this fear?  

Let me bless you with joy of holiness 

 

Come on…just let me do the dirty work  

Honey, you know where to put your hand…right?  

Embrace the pleasure, don’t be such a jerk  

Let it erupt while squeezing your legs tight  

 

Indeed, I am lost in the deep darkness  

But I won’t give in to the temptation  

Glimpse of heaven won’t erase my sadness  

I will not sink into this addiction 

 

Carnal desire, you will not help me 

Escape the demons that haunt me
