HELA JENAYAH TEKALI

TWIN SOULS BOUND

BY THE SAME FATE

Silence speaks when emptiness reigns,

She surrenders to the blood flowing through her veins,

Water submerges her from head to toes,

She gets fully soaked with her inner garments and shoes.

Nature is that Holy ghost that haunts her mind,

A bewildered music that left her Muse blind

She drowns in its Gardens , Mountains, Rivers

She gets Goosebumps, her entire body shivers.

The Cosmos itself becomes her Soulmate,

She sees in its Soul a twin bound to her Fate,

Together they dance as kindered Spirits to its verse

Whirling to the silence that roars to their universe.

Love is like a breeze accompanying her footsteps

Skillful in her manners yet at times adept

She wanders where her soul is taking flight

While void prevails, she chases a new Light.

Planets themselves speak to her inner grace

They wobble from side to side before her face

The music strumming to her mind is more than a heart

It is the Silence engulfing the sanctity of her Art.

BE LIKE A POEM

Be like a poem!

To rise and fall with each and every line

To follow the rhythm of its rhyme

Like a teenager girl in her early prime.

Be like a poem!

Dancing and whirling like you were in Rumi's chest

Your Spirit flying in and out, seeking rest

Soaring with Mystical words as earth's guest.

Be like a poem!

Wear nature to wed yourself with the divine

Embracing His scripture in each and every line

The soul of your poem is sweeter than the wine

You are a walking Quran dwelling in its holy shrine.

Be like a poem!

A renaissance woman rising from her ashes

He is closer to your jugular vein than your eyelashes

Cleansing your soul with water till your face flushes

Stop at all commas, dots, full stops, and dashes.

Be like a poem!

Rising like the Sun of Sufism: Shams Tabrizi

A Skylark in the sky ,with nature proud and busy

Full of love, light, wisdom , and divine energy

Bestow blest spirits in every line of your poetry.

Be like a poem!

Squeeze warmly Romanticism and Platonism

Hug softly the spirit of love in your Mysticism

Rise, die, and soar the same like a Phoenix riddle

Find yourself back in the end, beginning, and middle

A SAINT FROM THE HOLY LAND

I received with open eyes,

A Celestial Light that blurred my sight,

It came to me in the middle of the night,

With diamond like glitters blushing my eyes,

A Saint stood before me with his dervish countenance,

Whirling in all corners of the room with a graceful appearance,

He opened the Holy book and uttered the first letter,

My soul mimicked his behaviour with its startling feather

I did not know the reason of his visit

" was he a Guest or a Saint from the other world?"

I was taken aback as I asked him my very first word.

" O Visitor who are you,

To hop in my room, what do you want me to do?"

He shrugged his arms in a humble way and replied:

" I am your Soul mate , can't you see?

The same umbilical cord that set you free

I come to you , for you are Me

I will show you where to look but I won't tell you what to see."

HELA JENAYAH TEKALI

HELA  JENAYAH  TEKALI  is an English teacher, exercising her profession at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Tunis, Tunisia. She is a young spiritual poetess who started writing poetry four years ago. Mrs. Tekali is interested in a special theme in poetry which is Spiritual Philosophy. As she puts, "I believe that Spirituality is the essence of human life. There can’t be a real, genuine and transparent vision of truth without a glimpse of Spirituality in our daily life and thereby, there is nothing wiser in the world than to be endowed with spiritual wisdom." "Spirituality is the Mystical face of religion…. Spirituality is the Mirror that reflects divine vision". "The soul is the essence of our existence. The human body is a mask, a mere Simulacrum. It is the soul that heals, enlightens our instinct and endows our desperate heart with energy, faith and light." "A soulless human being is like a beast wondering in a wild desert, unable to control its deep impulses, manipulates its uncontrollable desires, its intense ecstasy and its unmanageable lust after the material world." Hela Jenayah Tekali has recently published six books: Halos of Light published in June 2015 The Quest Of Love published in June 2017 The Soaring of my Soul in February 2018.
