Sleep on my behalf a little bit (A chapter of the Saga’s marmalade) Silence poses doctrinal questions, So sleep on behalf of me a little bit, And buy me sugar-gated dreams, Buy a “vowel” for the two of us, a symbol to feminize the fact, a white watch to tell the sagas, and buy the poem covers, Because the night is long and awake And sleep on behalf of me a little bit, on behalf of my grief, Embroider my mother’s face Line my eyes and become my yearns Be a rhyme on my waist Be the father of surprise, the named features of the dawn beneath the stray arbor, And a cardamom grain under the hooded tongue, a shadow on the scanty shade, And sleep on my behalf Purchase the chlorophyll rug, Suture my pocket, Be the midway of a long mont, ignite the exhausted candles of speech despite the poem’s ache, Be the lisped “R” under the blindfolded marble, and Effect an embroidered voice And sleep on my behalf a little bit, Be the Ark on my sea, Be my fate, Be My sweet basil, And become the pathway Dr. Iyad Salah June 19th, 2002 Dors à ma Part, un Petit Peu Le silence soulève des questions doctrinales Alors dors à ma part, un petit peu Et achète-moi des rèves à portails sucrés Achète une voyelle pour nous deux Et un symbole pour féminiser le fait Et une montre blanche pour raconter les histoires Et achète les couvertures de poèmes Parce-que la nuit est longue et éveillée Et dors à ma part, et à la part de mon chagrin Enjolive le visage de ma mère Entoure mes yeux et deviens mon envie Et sois une rime à ma taille Et sois le père de la surprise Sois les éléments nommées de l'aube sous l'arbre égaré Et un grain de cardamome sous une langue voilé Et sois une ombre à l'ombre faible Et dors à ma part Achète le tapis de chlorophylle . Suture ma poche Sois le mi-chemin d'un mois long Et enflamme les bougies épuisées de paroles malgrès la peine du poème Et le "R" zézayé sous le marbre masqué Réalise une voix brodée Et dors à ma part Sois l'arche sur ma mer Sois mon destin, mon basilic doux Et sois mon sentier. Poème d'origine arabe transmis en anglais puis en français Dr. Iyad Salah le 19 juin, 2002 <bgsound src=" http://alwan.virtualave.net/music/madi/arabic/addaych.mid loop="infinite"> "Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers."

Silence poses doctrinal questions, So sleep on behalf of me a little bit, And buy me sugar-gated dreams, Buy a “vowel” for the two of us, a symbol to feminize the fact, a white watch to tell the sagas, and buy the poem covers, Because the night is long and awake And sleep on behalf of me a little bit, on behalf of my grief, the opening line... sets a stage for questions that are only answered with time..and with an understanding the answers themselves are probably questions yet to be explored... re-visit to this allowed me to appreciate the form and the slight turnings on words that may indeed be a result of different backgrounds...and add a refreshing light to the way images and words do so often vary based on perspective... |

Cpat Hair (The opening line... sets a stage for questions that are only answered with time..and with an understanding the answers themselves are probably questions yet to be explored) This is very true indeed Capt hair. Thank you from the heart for being here. All due respect, Iyad Nightshade Pleased you liked it. Thank Iyad Mistletoe Angel I love you too al dear Friend. Indeed I feel very flattered, but I can add that it’s the beauty of your soul that makes you look at this, this way. Well, I am 30 years old. I hold a BS degree in Pharmacy, and then a Doctor of Pharmacy. I lived in Buies Creek, NC and Lillington and then Raleigh Durham, NC for 3 years (during my Doctoral degree study). Practiced at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC. And at Alamance Regional Medical Center, Burlington, NC. I have a lot of sweet memories there. J I thank you very much for your generous descriptions. Hugs too to all of you J Iyad Sunshine Many thanx from the heart for you and for Noah. Hugssss to both of you. Thank you!
