To My Darling

Darling if you knew
What moans in the mind
And sighs in the soul
You'd no longer mind
What those winds do say
To frighten our day

Darling if you heard
How the heart so shouts
And utters my tongue
You wouldn't have doubts
That I'm your hunter
But your burnt lover

Darling don't be please
So slave to habits
Be free of that old
Instinct of rabbits
Be free like a bee
"To be or not to be"

Sun Juice

In the pastures of the soul
Go back and forth sweet darling

Embrace that new naked sun
Nesting in the horizon

Take a small spoon of its juice
As fuel to your voyage

Pour the juice on the mixture
Of ancient straw and barely

And cut your chains dear horse
To fly wherever you want

Ode To Peace

O peace we are starving
Let's have a piece of dream

Dark is eating the Earth
Isn't there any gleam

O peace come down my friend
Your white wings spread and send

War is here war is now
To eat us don't allow

Fast peace we're waiting for
For war is at the door

Damned Girl [?!]

In a tired Arab home
Moment before eventide
A first baby girl was born
But after a son of "pride"

The father from feet to head
Was full of anger and grief
But the winds were deep-frozen
And didn't shake any leaf

That God's will consoled himself
Next time there must be next time 
A baby boy maybe twins
And I will restore the rhyme

The "damned" girl he named her
With males to fill up the home 
He wished she had come a boy
To keep the tribe on the dome
