Love Letter to Palestine

Theme: Love Letters to Palestine

To My Toxic Lover, To my homeland

To my Gaza, to my Jerusalem- all Jerusalem. 

I will not say east nor west. 

I will not tear you apart the way they did.

Here’s a love letter to my torture:

Dear Palestine, all Palestine, 

From the river to the sea. 

Your daughter I am , don’t be my stepmother. 

Timid I am before you losses, 

Unyielding because of your strength.

Out of place without you,

Devoid from all graces but you.

Your bloody days, your blown up hearts, 

Your overriding sensation 

Drew my moves, healed my wounds, 

Strengthened my soul.

Your vigorous sea waves, 

Resonating in my mind, 

Nostalgia all I feel 

Memories all I trace 

May I see your glory, freedom and unity.
