Lyric Poetry

Dear listener, I bare you my heart like an olive tree bares its fruit in the Levant sun.

Written in both North Levantine Arabic and English, this is a poetry book on love as I have experienced it. I wrote it with a vision, an image of myself being back on the olive field where my late grandfather used to harvest ripe olives whilst I sat between the rocks and the olive trees.
