Only When Desire Screams

Selvi Sado, Adel Bishtawi

Description

The heart is the temple of love in which it crowns itself supreme. In unlike all other temples, but like all dictators, love needs no permission to enter, accepts no restrictions, conforms to no rules except its own and rejects all rivals. What it does in this temple is nothing less than one of the greatest miracles of humanity. Every dim corner of unloving hearts begins to burn with brightness, chaos is replaced by harmony, distress by relief, desperation by hope, doubt by sincerity, weakness by strength and a thousand roses suddenly bloom and fill the temple with the exotic scent of life, joy and optimism.

Dedications
For all of you
When all is heard and all is told,
And all is read and all is said,
And not much there is to add,
Forget those who wronged you,
And with a happy heart remember,
All those who made you glad,
With whom the heart was paired,
By those who really cared,
Time is lost when lonely,
Time gained when time is shared,
They are parts of every wonder,
And the sum of all the parts,
The music made in heaven is played,
By the strings of loving hearts.
Adel
To mum and dad,
Thank you for the love, dedication and care you generously gave a loving daughter who will always be proud of you; to my forever Gentian: THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.

ONLY WHEN DESIRE SCREAMS
All the hours of all the days,
And all the minutes in between,
By all the Gods I’ll swear to you
Again and again, I’ll love you,
But tread softly,
If you please,
It is not the ground underneath,
It is my heart,
And my soul,
Is just beneath,
So, watch your steps,
The love that can cure us all,
Can also be a disease.
Trust me or fear me not,
If one day,
After a kiss,
Being warm or being hot,
In a moment primed with wonder,
You sigh deep and then you say,
Sweeter than the sweetest wine,
Your lips,
I will remind you, yet again,
Grapes milked for their wine,
Are also milked for vinegar.
Care for me and keep me sweet,
Not every minute of the day,
Not every second of the night,
Not every act; not every deed,
Not every time we will meet,
Only when desire screams,
And all hours of need.
I HEARD IT TOLD
I heard it told,
That a heart in love,
Will never be old.
I heard it sung,
That a woman loved,
And a woman in love,
Is always young.
I heard it said,
That a body may live,
With a broken heart,
But the man inside is dead.
I heard it whispered,
In my ear,
When both so far,
And both so near,
You give me courage to face the world,
But it’s you who, I fear.
I read while in bed,
A poet of old who said,
If the hair is grey,
And the money is scarce,
And she is hot,
And you are not,
In her heart,
You are not welcomed,
And so, in a different part.
YOUNG LOVE
Sometimes fast,
And sometimes slow,
Round and round we go,
You may stoop to steal a feel,
I’m ready but don’t you dare,
Step on my toe.
Round and round,
And round and round,
Our feet move in haste,
And I wouldn’t mind,
If accidently move your hand,
A little below my waist.
If you want to be with me,
I will be with you,
If you want to love me,
I will love you too,
And if you burn with desire,
And your love is really true,
Myself and I will have a talk,
I don’t know what is done,
But just in case I knew,
Before each step,
Tell me what you’ll do.
SHARE A CHILD
It is not certain what men are born to be,
It all depends on needs,
Sometimes they will be fighters,
In times of peace,
They could be writing poetry.
Girls will be different,
In olden times they will play,
With boys and other girls,
Until they reach puberty,
The playing field is abandoned,
To join the kingdom of women,
The sole creators of humanity.
It does look to all who think,
Given time boys will be men,
And look it does,
Even before they are girls,
They know they are mums.
Not all men are lucky,
Not all girls are blessed,
Men need women to love,
And women will need maternity,
So go on if you can,
And go on if you can’t,
Create a child or share a child,
Women are the only means,
To give us eternity.
PREGNANT
Come take my hand and dance,
But hold me close,
I feel light, as if in a trance,
Or better still,
Come next to me,
Press your lips against my lips,
Let’s melt them in a kiss,
And let’s see where it takes us,
Here is good and
