I
A poem by Adel Bishtawi If I had a billion hearts, And you had a single one, I’d love you a billion times, And a billion more before I’m done. But I have only a single heart, That’s anxious for your dare, Just whisper you want to twine, And the loving billions you prefer. If I had a billion lips, And you had a single pair, I’ll kiss you a billion times, With the softest...

ARE YOU ALWAYS FIRST?

Many times I told you before, But I want to tell you again, You are the joy of my life, And the healer of my pain, Before, now and until the end, You will be my best friend, The One and Only I can call, And the One and only I will call, Be it summer, be it winter, Be it spring and be it Fall,* Early in the morning, And very late at night, Sometimes to...

JUST FOR ME

IS THERE A WAY TO YOUR HEART JUST FOR ME A poem by Adel Bishtawi Is there a way to your heart, Just for me, Or wait I must, And you shall see? I breathe the smell of honey, But I can only see the bee, The song of the old wandering hearts, Many times has been sung, Give me a sign, You’ll be mine, ‘Cause I really think that you should know, I am ready to be stung, And I don’t mind if I wait...
