White Wine

From the sun that rips raw skin from my back

to the glittering eyes which little children lack,

I cry for sandy days on

and weep for that over which my parents fawn.

Little snake which bites my toes

and makes me think of what I owe,

tell me why the world is quiet and still

and why it thinks I should not be fulfilled.

From the sun that rips raw skin from my back,

to the glittering eyes which little children lack,

give me solace from my loss

and bury in the sand my Albatross.

The Egyptian Writing

It is not a language: it is a masterpiece

Every line tells a story

Every wrinkle shows the proof

The ink colors the blank spaces

Dashing hues

Of irises, lips, thoughts, emotions

Ageing in a wistfully beautiful way

As we mature

We become poignantly sweet

With unique histories whispering

Our sorrows, love, and passion

I am an Egyptian writing

Hieroglyphics

Blending thoughts into mysterious symbols

I am enchantingly intriguing as I age, for I cannot be easily mined

For the Magnificent Jewels hidden deeply inside me:

Love, famly, frnds, hpe, g, c, ,

...

..

.

;)

Ennui

Brown sludge slowly oozing,

a meandering path,

an empty agenda,

a rudderless vessel

with sails ripped by the wind,

starving, though you can feed,

a race car without gas,

lions that have been fed,

libraries that have burned,

humans and politics,

the winter sun at noon,

a hollowed out temple…

American Egyptian Prophet

I already did this from the golden plates

Transcribed in reformed Egyptian

A melding of the Jews and the Arabs before

The modern American promise land

Declared war on them

Now I know these things to be true

All of us are descendants of that Jew

Of Jerusalem oh Heavenly Father

Cast thy being upon your seer and revelator

Thou wilt make the eyes single to the glory to the One

Who took the Jews out of Egypt and gave

An additional account of Anointed amlicable

Solid truth born out of Joseph of Egypt

By god, God save U.S.

Hadhih Laysat Almisri

Hadha lays almisri. Walikunn 'ana 'aetaqid 'ann hdhaan la yuhimm. Wa'aetaqid 'annani qad hasal balfel ealaa hadha alttahaddi, hatta walaw kunt la ymkn 'an nafham dukhuli. Baed kull shay', fa'innah yajeal mezm maeaniha. Hu munjim wahid faqat maktub fi misr. Rubbama kan yumkin 'an tafeal 'afdal, walakunn hdhaan min alssaeb haqqanaan linasakh. Hadha kl ma laday fi alwaqt alrrahin, wa'ana 'aetaqid.
