HEY, MY TORMENTOR
Poem by Mahmoud Said Kawash

He said to her:
Good morning
A morning of hope, optimism, and all the love, longing, and more.
I deliberately woke up earlier today than usual
So that you would be the first to greet and the first to congratulate you on your birthday, which coincides this year with Eid al-Fitr.
Every year, may you be blessed with a thousand blessings, health, happiness, and joy.
Every year, may you be love, adoration, and much more.
I wish you a long, happy, and blissful life.
I wish you a holiday full of love and affection!!
"I ended my days and your promise is silent.
Be gentle with my lyre, for it will not break.
Eve, be gentle with passion and love.
Slowly, you who torment me with the bleeding.
Eve, my whispers are in your ears, so listen.
My whisperings pierce the heart with pain.
Be generous with your connection, and you will rescue my feelings.
How many a ladder have I woven for you with feelings."
I repeat what I have said before, once, twice, thrice and many more and more times:
When will the promise be true and speak for itself? When? When? When?
I love you more and more
She answered him saying:
A holiday is not a holiday without loved ones, friends, and health.
Otherwise, it is an inevitable enemy toward the end of life.
I have come closer to my natural end, which is death, and I have extinguished another candle in my life, a candle that can never be relit.
This is how I understand “The Birthday”
And this is why I celebrate it
I mock death
I don’t fear it
And I consider this life nothing but a forced journey of the bad kind.
But when my lover, female friends, and companions remember me and celebrate this existential experience with me
Life becomes more beautiful
And it becomes easy to outsmart death and dance the dance of life to spite it
I thank you for remembering my birthday
Blessing me with it
Giving me a rose and a warm kiss
And being with me during its warm and intimate moments
You made me happy with you
May God make you happy in all your times and moments
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you a long, happy, and prosperous life
Happy birthday and long life!!
