Simple truth

Posted on March 28, 2011 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

  Simple truth Give me some pebbles to throw  Pebbles are the pathway to life The echo of its music stays Long after the shadow of the tyrant Fades away Tell me; Did you spend your life Searching for happiness Running after crumbs of food Accumulating tons of rotting clothes Desiring heaps of rusty cars [...]

Dreams and realities

Posted on March 11, 2011 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

A letter to God

Inner beauty

Posted on December 14, 2006 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

  Inner beauty   Hesitant   Getting closer   Zooming in   Worried   Weary   Expecting a tedious bore   To my surprise   I found a pearl Hidden in the deep   Concealed By layers of my ignorance   The thrill is never over Every layer that I peel Reveals still  Beauty beyond [...]

More sense to the senses

Posted on November 25, 2006 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

   More sense to the senses    I am fascinated by my hands With: I carry my lavender basket Stitch French knots and knit tiny socks Write my poems and paint lilac twilights But more enchanting Caressing with it The face of my beloved And holding on my babe’s hand   I am fascinated by [...]

Keep me afloat

  Keep me afloat   When rivers of sorrow run underground Drenched with gloom I weep… keep me afloat   When gales of pain throw me around With a broken-heart I mumble… keep me afloat   When waves of danger shake my ground Frail, clutching the rail I whisper… keep me afloat   When storms [...]

You can do it

Posted on November 25, 2006 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

  You can do it Light a candle One little candle Watch the darkness fade away   Just try it out   One ray of light Wipes away the gloomiest Jet-black nights As the dawn breaks   Just observe   Can you see that All the might of darkness In the world Cannot distinguish The [...]

The rescue

Posted on November 25, 2006 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

  The rescue Deep… deep inside… In the land of sorrow… where I reside Where only pain reigns While… passion is resistance Love grows rebellious And hope is defiant   Grief runs deep Cutting through hills and mountains In the caves and underground Far beyond my reach   It was raining agony… that day Restless… [...]

Finger prints

Posted on November 24, 2006 by nahida the Exiled Palestinian |

  Finger prints  I often wondered why Can’t I See the beauty in a plastic jar Touch the warmth of an iron bar Feel the passion of a metallic car Unlike a rose, a bird, a baby, a tree, a stone, or a star Suddenly, I came to realize That all real beauties From the [...]
