جنبا إلى جنب

walk with me
through gallant jungles and saucy safaris.
the world`s modest beaches
wrap their naked arms around us.
we can eat Kilimanjaro for breakfast,
chew it well,
drink Po as the freshest juice, if you want.

I`ll drag you through rooms empty of time.
you`ll guide me through storms of silence.
we`ll give our eyes as gifts to each other each day,
draw circles of laughter, like fire around our path.
I`ll clothe you in the words your senses whisper to me.

never leave our one room all inclusive.
endless in capacity, the world seeks invitation to come inside.
never get off the bus alone,
as the back seat for one is an abstinent ride,
and the walk is too long and dry on your own.
never look to your side and not see the reason
you never have to ask why.

you have found your side by side,
your جنبا إلى جنب,
give praise.
