I am like a man in the land of perfumes.
If I kiss her and her lips are open,
I am drunk even without beer."

A Wild Cat

Your love lurks in my veins like a bandit
Commits arson, shatters lanterns
And skulks in the corners of my veins
Like a wild cat with sharp claws
Alert to hunt moths
To pounce on birds
And I lie awake at night waiting for it to come forth
From my blood.

You came with your conquering army,
and caused an upheaval
That changed my life
You sequestered all my possessions
Bound me with chains of gold
And put me under house arrest
Within the limits of your eyes
You locked me in the cell of love
And took the keys away with you.

...Su'ad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah

The Moon and the Feather

The moon
gave me a feather.

In my hand
it felt like singing.

The moon laughed
and told me
to learn to sing.

Geometry

You have no real time outside the boundaries
of my passion
I am your time
You have no clear dimensions
outside the compass of my arms
I am all your dimensions
your corners...your circles
your slopes
and your straight lines

Love Will Remain My Master

I promised you
I'd disappear in five minutes
without a place to go?
the rain still sheeting in the streets
no place of refuge anywhere?
The city's coffee bars define boredom,
where shall I embark on my own?
when you are the sea
the sails
and the journey
Is it possible for me to stay
another ten minutes
till the rain stops?
It's certain that I'll depart
after the clouds move on
and after the winds abate
Otherwise, I shall remain your guest
until morning.


Nizar Qabbani

Written on the wall at Chang's hermitage

It is Spring in the mountains.
I come alone seeking you.
The sound of chopping wood echoes
Between the silent peaks.
The streams are still icy.
There is snow on the trail.
At sunset I reach your grove
In the stony mountain pass.
You want nothing, although at night
You can see the aura of gold
And silver ore all around you.
You have learned to be gentle
As the mountain deer you have tamed.
The way back forgotten, hidden
Away, I become like you,
An empty boat, floating, adrift.

Tu Fu

i'm back from a wonderful break - was great spending less time on line and working!

i thought i'd spend time going through sent pages, which was on 99 when i signed on...so, i looked at 4 pages and the count went right back up to 99! lmao :D will i ever get through them!


you have great taste xineann, i saw this above photo and then noticed you'd beat me to the stumble! :)


edit: i seem to be stuck in an infinite loop of page sends...every time i think i'm making progress it goes back to 99...haahaaa!
