How bad,
how bad
To break my peace
With several things
At a time
Revolving around.
How awful,
so awful
To have these feelings
Which nothing
Have to do
With the quietness
I long for
How miserable,
so miserable
To want the evil
for that البغيض enemy
Knowing that that evil
Will only kill me
How sad,
more than sad
Not to have a someone
to cry for or on
How ridiculous
Having the sea
at ten miles distance from home
And instead stay here
Writing about
How awful
How bad
How ridiculous
How sad...

That Arabic title means *Fear and Hatred*.
Hey,
my friends I am busy and away,so I'll try to catch up on all of you as soon as I can.
Hugs and sighs, and smiles
Dulce
I am glad you translated or I would have spent ages trying to do so.
I do hope you are away enjoying the sea.
much love Kerrie x
you speak for me,
beautiful poem,
full of emotions and hopes.
Those beautiful hands seem to me as if one is accepting peace, and the other, LOVE, both attributable to God, Creator.
Dulce,
Nothing is THAT awful
Nothing is THAT bad
Nothing is THAT ridiculous
Nothing is THAT sad....
If I, a piece of clod
Simply believe in a God
Who is Loving and Kind
Who never will mind
When--in my dismay
From truth I stray
Because--as they say
It is only for today.
Te amor, Peep
i couldn't believe my eyes when i first saw the Arabic title, i thought somrthing was going on wrong with my computer. i don't wanna be intruding or anything, but how could you talk in Arabic?
and, needless to say, your poem was amazing, i especially loved the repetition of the first word in the second line.
Dulce, are you an Arabic speaker? If you are, I am amazed! Arabic is my native tongue, but even I must admit it is quite the challenging language. Hats off to you...
And hats off to you for this piece. You have been away for a few days... and is this something you were busy crafting during your "away" time? And how could you label this "Nothing Special"? How could you label anything you write as such?
I hope you will take a short drive down to the no-doubt lovely beach that is ten miles away... I hope you will look at the water and the open sky and see how beautiful life is... I hope you will not think of things that are awful and bad and sad... And there is nothing unnatural about wanting evil for the enemy... We are human, aren't we?
Let the sea be your companion when you don't have that "Someone". Let the sky be your light. Let the earth be your mother. Let nature accompany you through the trials of life. And breathe... Dearest Sweetest Dulce.
I hope you are well. Now, Smile!
Big hugs,
Nevine
awesome work again my friend!!
I identify with what you've written, at least as I feel now. But I suposse, as storms, problems will also have an end. It's just a matter of time and gradually the good times will return.
I'm astonished, my teacher is a multilingual person and I didn't know. Of course, you're a box full of surprises ... all good!
See you tuesday, kisses!!!

Often, life seems unflinchingly cruel, sometimes it is so painful, so unjust, and we wish hatred on others. This, I feel, is human nature, just a part of living as everything else. You express your powerful emotions so wonderfully in this poem, Dulce, each line is alive with the profoundest of individual struggle.
Todas tus poesías tienen la belleza de tus sentimientos, que es mucha.
Un montón de besos.
Hoy tus versos son tristes... pero igualmente tan bellos..
Besos mil!!!
Dear Dulce:
Nice to read this piece. The Arabic has intrigued most of us. You never cease to make us wonder, don't you. I like the way you have brought the sea; the poem talks about the interior landscape and even before we realise, the exterior sea makes an appearance.
The use of the abstract and the real was lovely!
Joy always,
Susan
Oh my- those Arabic words... which I chose for no special reason. I wish I could say I spoke the language... but no, I do not!
I can only understand a bit of Ialian and Portuguese, and I can speak a few words in English and another few in Spanish... LOL
One of my next titles will be in Chinese, so be ready. I forgot, that is the one I can speak the best,i have a special gift especially on the phone!!!
LOL
i am sorry if this has disappointed you... It was not my intention to intrigue anybody!
hugs
Dulce
dulce, only you! you confess to being so busy but you take the time to share a very thought provoking word...you're amazing and i thank you for spinning me into you lovely web of words again...
do take care and return as quickly as safely as possible, my friend.
fear and hatred you say...hmmm. in any language...means the same. Wherever you are...whatever you're doing...take gentle care ok. Sarah
You are so able to express your feelings through your poetry and I could feel your anguish, dear friend. I know, at times, we all have these feelings. I am not so close to the sea as you...but only a couple of miles away, yet, too often, I do not go there when I know, just the sight of it brings me such a feeling of peace and joy.
Did you say bad?
Did you say awful?
Did you say miserable?
Did you say sad?
You must be kidding us, since all around you is SWEET;)
Sweet kisses with strawberry juice:P
Beautifully written!
yet still aware... that happiness is just beyond the door set in the horizons...
sad and awful aren't really so bad ALL the time ;)
This is beautifully written, Dulce. As I said in my previous comment, I disagree just a bit with Stevearoni, only because sometimes things are that bad, but we learn to work around it, get around it, move around it, any way we can. You work that into this well-penned piece here. It is a very lovely, although painful poem. Thank you for sharing and my apologies about the deletion!
