Usama Maymun Poems

I swim in your river,

but not like the fish,
...

The feelings linger a while,

like honey on the tongue,
...

The day started with high hopes,
I was glad to breathe the morning air,
replete with the promise,
that much work would be done,
...

Now he is ready to show his true face,

to be received in society,
...

a myriad of dreams,
a mosaic of lies,

brief, fleeting images,
...
