Come to me .Make me into a cover,
And sell my hands out.
I have worn you for four seasons and a year .Haven’t I ?
You know how patient and benevolent I am .Don’t you ?
I squeezed into a majestic dress covering me .Didn’t I ?
I sipped your love across my lips. Didn’t I?
That my gaze becomes an inferno,
And my head penetrates deep into my lungs.
Come to me
Come because some nights
Will remain tattoos and carvings
On my arm .
And stars that I brought are made into a scarf
Or a curtain to give to you .
Wake up ! I am going to count my age .
Your face stands the test of time ,
Ridding love brook that
Swaggers and shines like a sun
In my eyes.
We lived in a time when we witnessed
Rituals of insanity shining through ground and Pleiades,
Persian, Roman, and Arab battles
Burning furnace and tyrannical zeal ,
But you pass by me with a drawing
That will always be a bashfulness on my cheeks.
You are made of diamonds. If diamond sings
I drop dead.
I saw you
Human scented candles .
Since you invaded my diction ,
You have dwelled in it till death .
Aren’t you an Oryx
Trailing freshness in my planet ?
That I become handsome but because of earth brownness
I look miserable.
Come to me.
Come and die on my land and voice
Come and let’s perch on the land of coupling
There my food ,my escape and my bewilderment .
There we boarded a cloud ,the purple of the violet,
Raining love and longing.
There our parched lips are quenched
And walked together across the sidewalk of kisses
Come and let’s spread the palm of beauty
Come and let’s Stay
Like a pageant of clouds migrated while he was a child and returns home
A young man to carry a rain once performed ablution
And prayed a unique nectar and a clear confession
Like a branch of a tree apostrophizing sky and life
Come and let’s heal poetry evenings and play
Like two birds that never want to leave each other
Or soar towards unattainable frontiers .
Come and let’s stay like two caged birds
Till death do us apart .
A poem by Mohamed Ahmed Khalifa
