Fatima Alzhara Rafa Poems

Divine Love
Love is a weapon inside me.
Love is a dove of peace that flies beside me.
Love is the white veil of a wedding bride.
...

They asked if I lived in a third-world country.
I giggled and sobbed and then—
I said yes.
And they said, 'Which one? '
...

Every night I tell a story
for you so I can keep my life.
A thousand nights have been upon me
for you, so you can forget your first wife.
...

Here they stand
on moving sand—
they cannot comfort the whale
while they stand outside the sea.
...

Honey bee, I love thee—
till they see
I'm a human being.
I'm not a toy, neither Marilyn.
...

A tear is a right
& so is speech, or silence.
Is this ache in my heart
from whom my heart was once an asylum?
...

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
...

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.
...

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
...
