What are words…?

I have been listening a lot to Majda El-Roumi’s song Kalemat. A famous poem by Nizar Qabbani. I keep wondering that a man such as him fully described that men are full of shit and all they do is talk. Just a bunch of words to say so women can believe them. I donno. Maybe the poem to some other people has different meaning or more romantic meanings. But for me, it is the truth about how men act! Not all men. A lot of them!

Listen to “Words”

He lets me listen, when he moves me,
Words are not like other words
He takes me, from under my arms
He plants me, in a distant cloud
And the black rain in my eyes
Falls in torrents, torrents
He carries me with him, he carries me
To an evening of perfumed balconies

And I am like a child in his hands
Like a feather carried by the wind
He carries for me seven moons in his hands
and a bundle of songs
He gives me sun, he gives me summer
and flocks of swallows
He tells me that I am his treasure
And that I am equal to thousands of stars
And that I am treasure, and that I am
more beautiful than he has seen of paintings
He tells me things that make me dizzy
that make me forget the dance and the steps

Words…which overturn my history
which make me a woman…in seconds
He builds castles of fantasies
which I live in…for seconds…
And I return…I return to my table
Nothing with me…
Nothing with me…except words
