Palestine poem: My Mother

Palestine poem
My Mother 
By Mutasem Amayreh








After a thousand years of pain 
I came to acquire a name 

To announce the start of a new suffering
I made the night the day
Off her hands i couldn't let go
.
Mother!! you are the carnation that never wilts
I'm the petals you enclose
You are the olive tree 
Feeling the warmth of your branches around me 
Your hands pat so, i sleep
You'r smile lights so, not afraid I am indeed
In your face i see the sunrise
Nine months and forever to you I'm tied
The nectar I absorbed
And to charm I cried

You are the ocean that doesn't diminish 
The wind that doesn't vanish
The flowing river of tenderness still, you are the most
Don't ask me for a theme 
She named me Mutasem
