Salah Abdel Sabour Poems

If we were two boughs of a tree
The sun would nourish our veins
...

You spoke to me
Of winged horse-shoes
...

It's my job, my lords, to sing!
I hug my lyre, all right,
...

My position, my lords, I take
At the end of the corridor;
...

The truth is, knights proud,
I felt you were
...

In this way the day slipped
off the slope of the sun
...

The winter tells me I shall die alone
One winter just like this, one winter
...

Restless she stirs as she reclines,
A setting sun,
...
