Your smile
Your smile.
If it was a sign
That the living has designed
Happiness that could be found
In the middle of the desert
When the universe aligns.
The biggest oasis
When everyone is about to die.
And we had to find it
Following the stars
In the middle of nowhere
Just to keep alive.
The whispering of the wind
The beat of your heart
There might be danger
And no way back.
Maybe an illusion
Not a real sign
Desired by fools
As the promised land.
And we had to travel
From Abu Dhabi to Al-Ain
Looking at the planets
Adorned by shooting stars
Surrounded by the scorpion,
The snake and the spider,
With no shoes and no supplies.
Yearning the impossible
Moving the romantic
Carrying the fool
To the Moon or to Mars.
It might be unreal
Just a mirage
Something pushing you
Don’t let you lie
No drowsiness,
No sleep,
Only hope
The Supreme is just behind.
The risk of finding nothing
When you have seen the sign
Is worth crossing deserts,
Oceans and mountains
Walking, running or swimming alike.

Suddenly she said that her family had a book too, that her uncle was the writer, and it was her history. That strange book was right there in my briefcase, when I was looking for more books from the sheikh in Dubai the lady of the bookstore gave it to me as a mistake, and I just bought it. I showed it to her, and we both felt that maybe something was happening. I met her with her history on my hands. Then we kept talking for months, I returned to look for her to Abu Dhabi. I found her, she looked happy, then she told me that she could not be with me, and she went to London with her family. I followed her, I didn’t find her, and she sent a message to say that her family would never accept me, because I was from a different country, and she told me that she didn’t gave me a real sign. I think I lost her fo more »
