ADNAN AL-RIKANI

 

 

A Grave For My Shadow...

 

How can I cross the galaxies of your eyes... and pray upon the shoulders of the clouds, the prayer of the absent?! The shores groan from the sediment of worries clinging to the feathers of birds, whenever they soar with their ancient customs and dig with the crooked beak of theology a grave for miracles that bound my shadow. Perhaps it drinks its cup in the secret places of the universe, or the routine of its pale ecstasy... when we sleep upon the nuts of shame. As for your face... it takes over the intelligence of the city and knocks on the door of the soothsayers, so the pleasure of yesterday's anxiety winks at her. That audacity awakens only in the core of a spooned gaze. Ablution lies in the desolation of the road, and the blessings of the dawn's promise with the taste of anticipating a fixed life cycle.

 

This is so bitter...

 

This is the last time you need to know where to go. Make sure you have a cup of tea, put it in your mouth, and put it in a cup. A night of chairs and a captivity.

For the sake of this country, this is a great story, this is the story of the world, for the sake of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful, I will return to the place where I will find my brother, and I will leave this place next door to my booklet. This is the most popular country in the world. Neva This is the time of my life.

 

I Want You...

 

I want the night with you,

 in all its vibrant darkness,

And I want the day with you,

 in its radiant light.

I want your chest and your hands,

And your dark features,

 like a map of warmth on the map of my soul,

And I want your body to touch my fear,

Until it calms down…

Until it learns tranquility.

I want you… And I will show you,

To the extent that it confuses me,

Until I belong to you more,

And it compels me to melt into you,

Like salt in a sea of longing.

O my sun,

O my burning shadow,

Be my home,

And I will be your eternal journey.
