علي رقعة شطرنج بيضاء

shallow roads
and lazy moon
on fading setemper
can i survive
and haunt this spring
of joy and wine
and dancing thunder
i hear the Jazz
and whispering soul
in desperate nights
i ve traced thier road
as crazy foul
i found ur smile
ur dazzling hights
ur lips have kissed
this stumbling heart
caressed my waves
my endless fights
and filled my hunger

[منى عرب]

She opens love's door
to enter
a warm summer breeze


to lay down
a pussycat,
sipping warm milk

Her perfume
a secret invitation ,
one way ticket
to inner soul


hands touch ,
lips merge ,

in brown coffee eyes
desire screams ,
lips tremble

cups
full of rosy dreams

minutes
fly ,
melt as flesh merge

orange peaches
dance over cheeks

Bride of the Nile,
red henna decorates

her beauty and warmth


Nefertity dances with Horus,
the couple's sun-kissed bronze faces
are laced with longing

palms pave the waves
as the boat waddles
slowly down the Nile

her dress blushes in lilac

while the green smiles of lotus flowers
shine across its transparent silk



her golden anklets giggle
as they waltz across

the azure water


the couple's black hair

is entwined on their eager faces
a waterfall of elegance




love overwhel ms

[منى عرب]

I do not love
you
my way ,
I do not love
your way ,

I am rushing to you,
with invisible speed

raging silver waves
are pushing me,
towards your blue sea

and,
I lost my will
completely;
inhaling you a drop of perfume

[منى عرب]

Bride wearing white dress
sewed , laced with love ,hopes ,promises and longing
silk long black hair combed, adorned with white jasmines
palms , feet decorated with black henna

Incense filling air
drums chanting
hearts galloping

cloudy grey night
B25 roaring ,
raping serene sky

sliver moon shot
white dress bleeds


stains ,black dots

of lies

lace dress bleeds

bride raped

bridegroom stabbed by

Snake

called

Freedom

virgin ,

stepped upon

by drunken soldiers

Wedded to Death

the horror king


the horror king
starts to cease
the children smiles
and kill the trees
so ugly lives
he wants to please
from monsterous caine
and thousand years
he told the sons
no timeto ease
the song was one
of last release

[منى عرب]

Because i am a poet
breathing and
bathing in words

my eyes looking for warmth ,
roses, in deserts
my fingers touching vowels,
caressing grammar ;


still hungry
in gardens
thirsty ,while
rain keeps falling

[أحمد ابراهيم]

poets when they are not around
coffee will stop enriching the mosaiac of agony
of lonly souls
on deserted cafes
as we go around and around
we r detached
we fill this wasted nights
with pain and pleasures
and believes
of human nature
the more u r withdrawn
the more u become transparent
and insane
to fill the gaps
of the running souls
on the pavement
of ur heart

[منى عرب]

I llove you
with open eyes and open heart
Iclose my eyes to see you more
and
get lost in your golden wheat fields
to dissolve ,a piece
of sugar, in your warm cup of coffee
and lose consiousness slowly
to enter a stage
of irreversable coma

[أحمد ابراهيم]

to be or not to be
to break the ice
and walk the road
and hug the sea
drawned and defeated
with restless heart
my eyes to close
and be comatose
in tender arms
and lovly rose
