Zaal Hijazi Poems

She was wondering
Through the night
Are the legs ready
To run in fright
...

What if
I could be blessed
With life
I get
...

she came, calmly
Sitting herself beside me
Telling me 'Hey, I'm finally here'
Leaving that smile upon me
...

If for one moment you are told
That what you wished has gotten old
It's time gone, opportunity past
No fragment left, nothing that could last
...

The cold breeze
Giggled with joy
When it's currents of air
Further cooled the girl
...

I will open up my eyes
In the land with the cool lake
Where the Sun will beam at me
Through the trunks of trees
...

Tempt me not
For things I haven't seen
To places I haven't been
For desires, I am not keen
...

Rather obvious or not,
The World falling within
The Old Sun still shines
On a fresh new horizon
...

Never more darkness can increase my gloom
But yet my heart is wild in bloom
Excruciating senses, rejuvenating passions
Simplicity galore, no unnecessary fashions
...

I am lost amongst the crowd
With growing dreams around
That angel on the farthest treetop
With the wide grin on its face
...
