His Interpretation of Me




هى أجمل من رأت عينا ترى بشغف وتفتن بم ترى
تلك المشغولة بأن تصوغ حولها أكثر ما استطاعت من قيود
ثم مشغولة بأن تحطم أكثر ما استطاعت منها

هى حزمة من أعصاب تسمّى امرأة
استغرقتها الأنوثة فليس فيها إلا أنوثة
ولعلها أنثى ونصف أنثى

ليست غواية الجسم عندها كجوع حيوان يشبعه العلف
ولكنها كرعدة الحمى وصرعة الفرس الجموح
يتبعها النشاط والمرح كما يتبعها الإعياء والبكاء

لها فراسة نفاذة فى كل ما بين الجنسين من علاقة
تفطن لما فى نفس المرأة لأنها امرأة
وتفطن لما فى نفس الرجل لأنها امرأة

  1. My New Beating Heart

    Sunday October 23rd 2005, 8:50pm


    Long ago, my heart looked like a shadow

    As if looking through the night out of a foggy window

    As time passed by, It looked more like a heart

    It was also beating like a functional heart

    So much soft tissue surrounding it

    Just to comfort my surroundings

    Years ago, my heart had lost it's shape

    It's abnormal form and irregular beatings

    Did not help it, it almost looked like a clusters of grapes!

    My heart had red, pink, green and purple colorings

    Shriveled, sour, it was ready to be juiced

    It almost stopped functioning and it's size was very reduced

    I could not even find a patch for my broken heart

    What is it to own a heart and to be heartless?

    What is to have a broken heart and to be heartless?

    But as time passed by, my heart started to slowly heal

    As the waves of times slowly drifted

    The soft tissue began to feel

    Again, the warmth of being loved

    Like the gentle hands needed to pick fragile grapes

    I needed a gentle hand to care for my delicate heart's healing

    To nurture it and harvest it's feelings

    Till my heart was ready to expulse it's juices like the grapes

    Sometime ago, I meet you on a virtual current

    It was like being stimulated with an electrical current

    Can you hear the volume of my heart?

    Can you see the volume of my heart?

    My cells are dancing in a synchronized form

    My heart is now ready to perform!

  2. You do not really want to link yourself to "Sara". Do you?

    The 2 charecters usually linked to be the real "Sara" both had a tragedian end for their glory, one in a mental sanitorium and the other by suicide!!

  3. Eyad, who were the two characters?

    At times I feel that I died and came back to life so many times

    At other times I feel that I am a mad person living in a mad house

    Death and insanity do not scare me anymore
