A Tent In Morocco
By God's Eternal Rule
my life so spun
it still feels new
unrolling like twine undone.
Enter my Moroccan salon
let us push back
hearth by tents return
night's veil of black.
Drink my Arabian coffee
and after you drain
the fine grounds see
if remains tell fortunes.
A tajine of cous-cous
is always a delight
its aromatic spices loose
rising like a kite.
Follow the elders prayer
the moon attains heights
grey beards eyes there
see a purple haze.
To my hidden journal
what I publicly deny
I retire admitting eternal
feeling confused, blinded eyes.
I love listening again
memories are forever yet
to tales from friends
days are too few.
Come share chai tea
each sip so comprised
mint, rosewater so sweet
a vision of paradise.
This life is tough
I invite please read
and on livers rough
before resting your head.
There upon Morocco's ground
whisper secrets inhaled deep
embroidered silk pillows found
extolling peace before sleep.
by Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari

Why teach me English
Why teach me English
When I shall live
all my life
Arabic
Why let me fly high
see birds up in azure sky
Why let me dance with the wind
hug sun and kiss the clouds
Why let me see blue ,yellow , red fish
Swimming freely
in deep blue ocean
Then
I go back home
to a small cage
With little chicks and sweet kittens
To cuddle
sip milk
From your loving palms
sleep an angel in your cloak
and cover my memory with confusion guilt.

Iohagh : You have taught me so much... on February 5, 2007Darling Uncle and Mentor
I am so glad
you finally reached out
surpassing your feelings sad.
I could just shout.
I saw you pine
from lost urequited love
now you are defined
by pure expressions thereof.
You loved sweet Yemina
who just won't commit
and your new senorina
will help you forget.
I loved her too
since you love her
as her pain eschews
and your loss defers.
You have great heart
and much to impart
within your moral context
still romance does flex.
When my family loves
my wings just unfold
with my blessings shove
betrothed into love's fold.
You say lover's dreams
might say erotic things
whatever love's feelings seems
including lustful desires sing.
Your belove is tender
more than you know
since we share gender
treat her gently so.
OK, I buy that
sensuality by dreams given
is honorable although inexact
with all whims forgiven.
But know you companion
is awed by love
must fear failing union
and your rejection thereof.
Iohagh
