She and the Unicorn

She: Bold, Unicorn: Italic

Long ago I saw a Unicorn
With a glance a love was born
When I was at my hidden lake
Feelings inside me became awake
Who are you stranger define yourself?
A horse, a lion, or a large wild elf?!
Aristotle and other great men introduced me
In their books and arts often reproduced me
My people spoke of you as a myth
A beast with no sons, wife or kith
I’m real my angel and can love you
Don’t tell anyone and love me too
Run to me my beautiful beast
No one knows even my priest
I can’t appear or speak to any human
They’d fight me thinking I’m a demon
But I want to hide between your arms
Feel protected by your magic charms
Could I be in your world exposed
when all my songs are opposed?
One day of our love we should speak
Face the tornado and cross the creek
In the battles I fight to win
I’ve got a lion heart and goatskin
You could argue and win the jury
Show them the truth their sight is blurry
Would you not be sad when I hurt your people?
My horn is poisonous and sharp as a needle
Could you when all you want is peace,
when your heart from loving never cease?
Unicorns are born to spread freedom
Unite the nations and build the kingdom
Tell me more I need to hear
Help me darling slay my fear
End of days to us are true and clear
A unicorn by birth is wise and seer
That’s why I love you my secret friend
Promise me glory and our love you defend
Sooner or later victory will come
This much I know that’s why I’m numb
Shall I cry when you’re for the truth dead?
Shall I wait in fever in my sickbed?
When I die bury me in my secret garden
Meet me in heaven in your white satin

غابت

غابت دقيقة الخصر بعد عاجل سلامها
فظلت العين ترتجي وصالا من النوم
وصاحب الفؤاد الليل ومكة وهلالها
مرتقبا ساعة الفداء وقول العيد اليوم يومي
حسناء مغرورة وكرم عند الناس خلقها
سترا ما اسررت مالها من شعري المكتوم
هلالا يغدو البدر المنيرمن بعد رؤيتها
خجلا من نورها ويتوه ضياء النجوم
سواد الدجى وسره بعينيها و جدائلها
وبالوجنتين صب الخالق كثيرا من النعم
من خيرنساء الارض استمدت علمها
من فاطمة و خديجة والعذراء مريم
لولا وجود السابقات في الخليقة قبلها
لاجزمت ما انجبت حواء مثلها من ادم
خيرما انجب فرسان قحطان وكريماتها
تتنحى لها اميرات كسرى وقيصر والعجم
غزال الوادي ويرى الكبرياء بعدوها
كثر تابعوها وما لها من كفؤ في القوم
بالذكروالحمد تبتدئ وتختم حديثها
وبينهما تثري العقل بقديم القصص والحكم
مضرب الامثال لطهرها و حجابها
عفيفة وبمكارم الاخلاق عاملة و الشيم
تلك هي ضالتي وتلك هي خصالها
وجدتها بعد شقاء الترحال بين الامم
ذاب القلب اشتياقا لجزيل عطفها
عودي واقبلي مستهلة بتحية الاسلام
ارحمي من عامروهوزان احد فتيانها
لاتشمتي به عدوا وتكثيرعذوله باللوم

Flower Shop

On the Knightsbridge she walked
Until at the flower shop she stopped
She asked, “mother do I deserve a bouquet,
and the Water Lilly Pond by Monet?”
In rhyming words and tears her mother answered
“Yes, by the knight who had your heart conquered”
No one buys me flowers and jewelry
Except for the man who lives on Mercury
A unique spray of roses promise me to buy
Whenever you’re there in January or July
On your way back hand the flowers to a child
Sing to him and let me know if he smiled
With my soul I promise and sign
Your joy my dear is also mine

To My Dear Friend

To my dear friend I whisper and say
I wish you happiness on your birthday
Shall I cross the walls and the guards
To deliver the Magnolias and the cards
Has the door been opened
Has their anger weakened
Who’s singing for you tonight
Will you dance in your White
To whom you whisper tonight and smile
Who’d follow you from the fog to the Nile
Think of me deeply when you sing and dance
You’ll find me near when you go through a trance
How many candles have you burned
Are you about the time concerned
Beautiful as usual and forever will be
Wiser than ever and besides you I’ll always be

Heaven

Do you think of Heaven and what do you see
Do you see me there and how beautiful I’d be
Would you touch me there and hold my hand
Would we run far across the fields and land
Would you swim naked or I’d cover you with leaves
Would we celebrate the days and light the eves
How soft are your lips and, what’s their taste
Would I smell your neck and have my soul graced
We care for the mountains, cliffs and ice caves
Will there be Monet’s and beautiful landscapes
What about the stars and the full moon
Will the wind through the trees play the tune
Do you see the wine in pearl is being served
For so long for us it’s been preserved
What will light the nights and create the days
Will there be shining stars and sun rays
I wonder about the spring and the summer
The sad autumn and the cold gray winter
Think about the waves and the reflection
The falling things and the compass direction
Will we seek enlightenment when all is known
The source of wisdom and the truth have been shown
Would our loved ones there dance around us
Would they listen to our songs and be our chorus
Shall we pray for them to join us
My Aquarius, Capricorn, and Taurus
I call my Cancer, Libra and Capricorn
Yours as well the ones yet to be born
Do you, like me, think of Heaven
What’s up there beyond the Seven

North & South Stars

His root built the house
She's from the ancient blood
In the sad day he followed the son
while she with the friend stood
Like a northern star he's leading the way
A symbol of beauty, she's a southern star
She hears his screams and whispers
So distant yet she's not far
She looked to the west
while he prayed towards the east
He knows all her prayers
but she's never been to his feast
For the battle they're getting ready
Hand in hand they walk the road
On his right she stands tall
Praying to God to ease the load
Chosen before she was born
A chalice to a coming knight
Unity by the house was a dream
Victory will come and shine the light

The Seed

The papers, the shepherds and finally the seed
To immortal beauty eventually will lead
Injustice and poverty at last will die
Truth will be known no need to lie
The doubts will be answered
The evils will be conquered
The ministers and the knights will be known
No more shields and the masks will be thrown
Women and slaves will be free
Forgiven sins since the forbidden tree
No more worries and no more fears
Except for the lost ones shed no tears
I’ll help you brother your load is mine
Don’t worry sister with us you’ll be fine
Peace and love then have a true meaning
Souls with each other will be communing
