Ndim Muhanad

A knight, a king, a slave and a lover..

 
I have been a knight..
I have been a king..
I have been a slave..
I have chased the sun..
 
I have been a knight..
I served under my love command..
I left my noble roots..
I sold my loyalty for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have been a king..
I owned the east..
I owned the west..
I ruled my imaginary kingdoms..
I sold my royalty for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have been a slave..
I lived my ages in pain..
I lost my choice..
I lost my freedom..
I sold my soul for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have chased the sun..
I stole its rays ..
I saw the world..
I tasted the seven seas..
I sold my wisdom for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have haunted many gods
I have been a sinner..
I have written my destiny..
I have been a lover..
 
I have hunted many gods..
I wrote my own Odyssey..
I hunted Aphrodite and Artemis..
I drown Poseidon and buried Hades..
I captured Zeus at the gates of Troy..
I sold my gods for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have been a sinner..
I lost my faith..
I lied..
I cheated..
I envied..
I loved..
I sold my heaven for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have written my destiny..
I wrote my curses..
I wrote my fears..
I wrote my endless journey..
I sold my eternity for a woman..
Still,
I’m not a lover..
 
I have been a lover..
I loved an immortal love..
I loved a pain goddess..
I loved a charismatic woman..
I sold what left of my dignity for a woman..
Still,
Am I not a lover?
