Blue sea eyes

Note: I read and write in three languages English, French, and Arabic. I read books, small and large, old and current, classical and common, biased and “balanced”. I read dailies and their editorials. I read magazines, serious and tabloids, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly issues. I uncover nuggets in almost all my readings and then report themes after elaboration, analysis, and exercising my individual reflection.
My posts are no cut and paste gimmicks simply because I have no patience for navigating the net. You may start with the category “List of articles” and navigate from there. Better yet, check the right hand side and select among my top posts of the week or the latest posted articles and then your are set for a lovely journey of over 1,600 articles. Articles are so far grouped in 35 categories; I included the new category (Black culture/Creole). Every new article is posted in the category “Finance/politics” before distribution into one of the categories. You will realize that I published two novels and my auto-biography. I have nothing much to hide and I enjoy receiving detailed comments and feedback.
Since october 2008, I registered over 30,000 hits in total; I am averaging around 100 hits a day. You may refer to my “About”: we may have met. May reading lights your path. Good reading.
Blue sea eyes; (Mar. 25, 2010)
On the deck of your blue eyes
Rain audible vibrating lights.
On the port of your blue eyes
From a tiny open window
A view
Of faraway birds sworming
Searching for yet undiscovered islands.
On the deck of your blue eyes
Summer snow is falling.
I am a kid jumping over rocks
Deeply inhaling the sea wind
And returns a weary bird.
On the port of your blue eyes
I dream of oceans and navigation.
If I were a sea farer
If anyone lent me a boat
I would surely ease my boat closer
To your blue sea eyes
Every sundown.
Note: An abridged free translation from Arabic of the famous late Syrian poet Nizar Kabbani.
