illusions

another translation...
--------------------------------
to my brother ,who sleeps so far away

i cried tears
but never the well of my heart gone less
when you were gone
my sun was gone
with the light of the past
and life became a memory
your smile changed into fading pictures
on the walls
and days became papers
that fall from a calendar hanging on the wall....
and when i remember the past
i'll never forget you
our days together
how much i hurt you
but now its too late to apologize
after the angel of death stabbed me
and left his dagger in my heart
along with eternal pain
i'll never forget you....

another translation of my poetry from arabic....

---------------------
and when you look to me
i swim in your eyes
and drown in the seas of eternity
untill the end of time
and we hold each others hands so tight
as if we will die if we let go
we laugh like children
and look at the sky
which looks back at us
in envy
because she doesn't have a lover like we do
so we forget all the past
and ignore the future
and the time stops
and the universe proudly smiles
as his children have grown
we did grow...

this is a translation of a poem i wrote in arabic....
--------------------------------
tears

tears...
i don't know what are they for
these which come from the heart
to gather in the eye
from the well of despair
going nowhere
drawing a river on a face
filled with sorrow
whenever it sees the spring fields
and remember the days that will be no more
and the joy that will never be again
these hurting but desired tears
such like the memory it brings
the memory of those gone...
sad as the last wish we made with our beloved..
the wish of staying together for ever...
when we thought that our share of sorrow was over..
but as usual we were wrong.....
