Facebook: By Heja Sindi



 friendship request
another try... a cyber disguise
crossing a broken bridge 
carefully
where manhood falls down
and both of us know 
 firewalls of a minded culture
 burns whatever...
decent innocence 
friendship added!
secretly
please forgive me
I am not holding anyone
I am not close to anywhere
just a gipsy domain 
telling me lies  
where hands never touch
and eyes don't capture
yet minds are dragged into 
a sensible web

'Like'ing starts...cautious wait
time passes by
then comes the reply..
trrra rra!
Its a ':)' that opens
doors of captured hopes
 makes my day,
 keeps me high
and spiraled imaginations
smiling... 
behind a lousy screen

am talking to me
(whispering) should I... 
send at this late night 
an 'off line message' ? 
:/
DON'T!
yes DO it
no DON'T..
be a clown :S
pride is one click away 

from this keyboard 
 and crowded senses 
at a 2am monologue 
 

'Tag' and wait then wait again 
then 'Poke'
a forth move
 keeping me in touch
whenever a 'Comment'
chases another
though silly
and tasteless words
and vulgar souls  
 can't wait
to see my reply
'Deactivate'd
 'Facebook' or Closebook!
'Wall' is plain
heart in pain
no trace, 
no face
not even a.. 
'Check in place' 
silence on page
no move
no breath

Summer is over
back again
posting

'Private Message'ing 
no matter what
 

or ':)' ing one another 
 while 'Share'ing a passion  
and joyfull :Ds 
hosting our chats with 
buried feelings 
forever
 in Facebook pages

Do you mind?



If I know you well
without even living with you
and not even quarreling with you
or being able to make you smile

if I tell you that your gift
is a mask, that keeps many
from being able to touch..
your heart and
move
your sole

do you mind
if I become so plain
and tell you that..
you have no time for me,
I know..
that ..
you are not even busy
with your own dreams..
yes I know

and do you?
if I speak on behalf of..
your eyes
and tell others
to keep their misleading..
dreams..
away from  you
and If I say to the whole world
that your absence
is what provokes, me
thinking more of you
more than if I see you

well, I guess you don’t
if I shout at him and her
to leave you
to set you free
from all the lies that
they have lived, yet
want you to share
with them

No, I guess you won't mind anyway

لقاء الوداع

                                                    

                           وأبتلعتكٓ التلال ثانية
فغابت عينايّ لحظة
كلماتك تهرع وراءك
تجري
في فمي..تداعبني برأفة
نظراتك شوق..لهيب
دموع
تودعني بلهفة
و عطرك صمت..حفيف يوقضني
في اللحظة
يا من ملئت فيٌ ابوتك
والكلمة
والرفقة


إيه ياقدر!
إيه يا أجل!
أأنت الوفاء..أأنت البصر؟
أعدت تواسي ام عدت لتهزل؟
رحل الأحباب
رحل ألأصحاب
فكنتَ أنتَ..و كنتَ ياقدر


إيه يا تلال
أيتها المومياء
لازلتِ كما أنتِ
و لا زلتُ كما أنا
بلا بهاء..بلا دهاء
عهدي بكِ حصناً..نشيداً
يحفظ الأباء
فأعلي جبالاً مخضرةً
  أو غادري تاركةً لناظري
سراباً من إباء


أنا هنا
أهلي هناك
و انت يا تلال
مازلتما أنت و القدر..تتعانقان
تتهامسان
بلا حياء..بلا وفاء

Dohuk Tonight




an old man passes
in a fancy drive
by this hidden city
where hearts get ceased by jealous rips
and magical carpets full of tiny lights..
hiding lonely stories and innocent gossip
black gardens hanged by pearls
and stars..
hallowed by shying hopes
that's you tonight
my home town

same old plot, new passion
two masculine mountains...
staring at each other; who frees the captured soul
resting in between!
who lives there...
who smiles here..
who wonders if some one is thinking of you..
or doubts that someone cherishes another...
in my home town

Like every week at this time..
winds from the crowded capital
blow, push me, like a sail
then steadly cradled
by welcomig breezes
in early galleys of my town
gently pulling the drive
while scanning memories
chasing far away thoughts
of an old man
driving thru this highway
tonight
cross my home town

بێ دەنگی

دەمێ بێ دەنگ دبی
‌سیتاڤ بێ خودانن
‌بهێن بێ گولاڤن.، درەون
‌تەیر هاردبن و بوخو دخوینن
‌سەرما دبیتە هڕچەکا هار و
هزرێن من ‌
 بێ دەنگیا لدور من
 من دادعیرن
‌من بەرزەدکن

‌دەمێ تو بێ دەنگ دبی
‌بهار خو ژ زڤستانا ڤەناقەتینن
‌سەیرانی دلنگن
‌کەسکاتی خو ژ شیناتیێ بەردت
‌ژبەر بارانه کا شەرمین
ڕەنگێن خو بەردن
‌دەمێ بێ دەنگ دبی

'Pieces fallen from a puzzle' By Heja Sindi


Piece 39:
a stranger looking around
for you
without
knowing you
reaching out
your presence
through the shadows
names
and home odor
to safely walk him
through

Piece 41:
a set up encounter
backed with innocent foolishness
and
hungry selfishness
to share with you the loneliness
the fear
of new faces
and
troubled thoughts in
exile

Piece 86:
friends
advice
direction
rescue
from the evil intentions
while promises
to pass and to good a morning
keeps falling down
cruelly whispering :p
'there is no a tomorrow'

Piece 42:
trust
what happens in Disney land
stays in Dream Land!
handing over the keys
of a black stallion
that flyed you
to the wildest dreams
while this ever ride
made the stallion
a forever antique

Piece 10:
brilliant look
forgotten name
skeptic
unsure
maybe evil will remorse
giving out the keys
holding on to the sparks
of a Vegas Sunday night!

Piece 25:
mates again
sarcasm
advice
relief
from mountains
laying on a thin chest
yet pain is a disguised joy
for evil is sometimes
hiding in our chests
not in the mountains
