Fatima Alzhara Rafa Poems

Society has taught us to shame love—
love as an act is forbidden,
and as a feeling, it must be hidden.
...

Beyond normal.. no brittle
daisies more yellow a little
But if you heard what happened
you'd understand
...

I'm human, and I'm not a god.
I can't beat every odd.
I can't help it when you say
your lack of perfection isn't for me.
...

Next time someone looks at me, I hope
they will look at me with love,
not with curiosity.
Big arms to hold my naked heart.
...

An Arab Girl's Prayer

Oh, the sky above the land,
there is a just God.
...

You're studying the human heart what about mine
What about my wild loving heart who adores your smile
Do you have a dual?
Do you have someone who came before me and grabbed your soul
...

I have no other place to be
Except for my prayer place
Because in the OR
She's gonna be scared
...

Flipped my coffee cup to seek
the phantom of thee—
until I saw
something Van Gogh couldn't draw.
...

And if you pray
You may pray for that pain to go away
From both of us
And this happiness that supposed to occur now may visit us
...

أنا بشر، ولستُ إلهًا.

لا أستطيع التغلب على كل الصعاب.
لا حيلة لي حين تقول
...
