Poetry for Palestine: Can I come in? By SHOAHSeptember 2, 2011Education NOVANEWS nahida the Exiled Palestinian Can I come in? I want to get inside Your kind and tender heart With love-seeds in my hand Find a bleak barren corner Planting all I have To bloom with delight A beautiful secret garden Chasing sorrow away Just open the door I want to come indoors Of your caring gentle soul With a blanket in my hand Find a cold lonely corner Swathe it all around Keep it nice and warm Chasing pain away Just open the door I want to knock the doors Of your passionate loving core Flung them wide open With a candle in my hand Find a dim gloomy corner I’d sit on the floor Shedding lots of light Chasing fears away Just open the door
