A grave stone



Write over my gravestone

''He was a good son''

At the dawn he was born

He left with the sun

He was a king without a throne

He was just simply someone

He tried to enrich the art

His ink bottle was his heart

He wasn't the first nor the last

He made the eyes talking,

the hearts jumping,

the air singing,

the hair dancing

He wasn't the first nor the last

He made the moon shaping as a heart

He wasn't the first nor the last''

Osman Abed alaty Hasan

I was born in Egypt 3rd of October 1974 I am the eldest son I grew up in poor family in south of Egypt I studied journalism in the university I adore languages Arabic, English and French I think the humankind without communicating through languages is like feelings in prison one day the good feelings will change to bad feelings or shouting then madness then the crime and the greatest sin. The poetry for me is sharing my emotions at least with my pen my ink and paper sometimes things listen to us more than a lot of people do . The poetry 's beauty isn't how we choose or use the words but it is how we express our true feelings even if in so simple way cause heart feels the other true hearts. more…
