Maybe Human

One day you'll ask about me
And you'll get no answer
You will be answered by the silence
Of my non-existence

One day you'll ask about me
And you'll get no answer
You'll just see me enshrined
In my timeless capsule

One day you'll ask about me
And you'll get no answer
Only some dust and some bones
Indicating that there maybe was
A human

One day you'll see me unfolding
After a million days of sleeping
One day you'll see me seeping
Like fog, creeping in

One day you won't recognize me
You won't know which form I was
A butterfly, a worm
Or maybe, once a human

One day it will all turn over
I won't know what form I was
But I think there will still be something
Saying a human, I maybe was!

Ocean, Mine

Let those waves rise and fall
Pushing me further down its rage
As I strike it open and I emerge 
From its stiffening surface

Let these emotions rise and fall
Sucking me in its turmoil
As I strike it open with my vengeance
And my persistence to live

A broken head and bent knees
But a lifted spirit, bursting fires in the sky
I will emerge, I will survive
For the ocean is me and the waves are mine

Remember Me

Remember me by the end of your day
When you’re sleeping alone, happy!
When I lose consciousness over my fury as I see you, leaving me

Remember how we loved and how we moaned together
In each other’s arms
Remember?!

I would have loved you a thousand times, a thousand years longer!

Be with me in my dreams, in my breaths and breezes!
Be mine!

For I know that you’re not any’s
Not even yours to carry!

اذكريني

اذكريني بالأمس
عندما احببتني حب الجنون
فخررت لحبك ساجدا
صريع ذلك العشق

اذكريني بالأماني
عندما تنقشع عنك الغيوم
عن قلبك الحنون
التائه

اذكريني بالعشية
عندما تضئ سنان القمر الكون
حضنك الدافئ
الخالي


اذكريني
حينما ائتي اليك جريح
وارى في عينيك الحنان
ولكن يمنعك كبريائك عني


اذكريني وضعفي
وحبي اليك
يا جارحتي ومداوية آلامي


اذكريني

Slumber

Like now, we should be talking
Like now, we should be together
Like now, we should be spending
The time of our lives

Like now, you should be
In between my arms
Tossing and turning
On my longing chest 

Like now, we should be
Keeping each other alive
By the warmth of our bodies
By the warmth of our love 

Like now, we should be planning
The world we have ahead
Like now, we should be soothing
The roaring voices in each other’s heads

Now you’re not with me
We’re not together
We’re not speaking
We’re in a death like slumber

Now we're separated
We're both lying still
Holding stone hands
Sleeping in the same bed

Now we’re separated
Not by choice
And we’re in the waiting line
For our slumber to end

All the Right Reasons

When you think you lost it all
Your dreams, hopes and inspiration
You’re just about to retreat!
Then this voice comes over
That sound of serenity
Warming your freezing feet
These whispers calling
These sweet noises conquering
All of your hungry fears
And you feel this safety
This warmth and tenderness
After being lost and strayed
You start to see
The haze is cleared
And all of your fears are down
And that sense of freedom
Comes rushing in
Healing your broken sounds
And you stand up on your feet
Dancing again
Mending all of your broken strings
Growing your sound sharp once again
Realizing that you got all the right reasons to be
In love
