MY GOD IS NEW TO YOU is one of Charbel Baini's books translated from Arabic into English

The Sea of the little eyes

 

-1-

I weep,

And call out: Return to me

For the winds of despair blow upon me

And like a leaf of a tall willow

I sway, I tremble,

I twist...

I draw ever nearer to death.

-2-

Tears fall from my eyes

Drowning me... 

Burying my remains

Throwing me into the depths of the water

And the boat deliberately crashes

Against the rocks of great sighs

And the smaller seas of the eyes

Receive all kinds of storms!
