Ode to myself!
Ode to myself!
Sameh Mahgoob
(Egyptian poet )
Translated by :
Hassan Hegazy (Egypt)
Ode to myself!
How many roads have you paved
for the evening and it betrayed you?!
How many desires have you baptized
with the blood of deprivation?
How many friends have you left
in the mouth of death and returned sad ,
leaving some of yourself, there?!
oh, my self!
who have taught you to be cruel
only on yourself?!
You got lost, dismally alone, frustrated,
until you became a jungle
from dew and tears .
