By my tears I wrote this poem
To my son Waseem
The night is too dark.
The clouds cover the stars.
The words refused to fly.
I try to close my eyes.
………………………….
How can I describe my pain?
My body tears by train.
My soul had also tears.
I can not stop my tears.
my tears fall as rain.
………………………………………
I can not believe the words.
I can not trust the news.
I feel I am sinking down.
Sinking to unknowable tears.
……………………………….
The cancer hit you my son?
No? No my lovely one.
This is disagreeable dream.
When sun raise it will gone.
……………………………
I can not trust the news.
The windows at home should close.
I feel that a wild jaws,
Come to swallow my heart.
………………………………
I am the sick not you.
With you I will go with you.
My heart is with yours my love.
Wherever my son you go.
…………………………..
My son we will not apart.
From the beginning we had start.
Do not go my son away.
Take me inside your heart.
………………………………
Your father:
Rasheed Alqahas.
