TAGHRID BOU MERHI

 



 

Mazes!

 

He didn't leave a maze

without treading it

 

He would collapse exhausted

into the faces of worn-out bags!!!

 

He searches for land leaning on the pedestals of the noble city!!

 

Amidst departure, he devoured the body of sin and delved into longing..!

 

And since then, tears have not stopped on the cheeks of the sad owner..!

 

Mothers nailed to the wall of wishes pointed their fingers into the void of places..

 

They resemble thoughts when they glide in Mozart's music

and inhabit the dreams' breeze..!

 

Was this a delirium, the audacity of mazes..!?

 

Perhaps the alphabet will change the essence of the universe..!!

 

Perhaps it will donate in writing the psalms of love in the sight of creation

and the successive strikes of suppressed desires!!

 

No language for me!

 

Bury me the last scream in the coat of waiting

 

Remove my hand from the wrist of defiance

 

And grant my mouth a kiss of victory..!

 

In The Midst Of Emptiness!!

 

There is no one around but me..

 

I move in a silence broken only by the tapping of a beak

Penetrating into my being in a way that time has forgotten..

 

I try to borrow the noise of its beats from the scenic moment of Beethoven's symphony

Without caring about the dissonance of "imaginary perfection"

In the subtle details of the thread of patience.

 

Memory twists time with a tragic fantasy imagination

It diminishes the deputies

Far from the deceptive corridors of decay..

 

When life freezes..

 

Let your faded convictions in a needle hole

And promise yourself back to the spontaneous moment when you could never admit love, even to yourself..!!

 

This love of symbolic dimensions

Left behind a lexicon of suffering

Like a taut thread in the midst of complete emptiness..!!

 

Just like life itself..!!

 

The Philosophy Of Life!

 

Your vision is a sky...

Astonishing the symphony of time

Without the fall of the kingdom of existence.

 

Eleven birds

I saw them in the footsteps of the knower,

Mending deep cracks

In the "self,"

And a tremor invades the noise

When a fragrant breeze passes by in a dream...

 

How poor we are

When we possess

What enchants description

And a realm adorned with jewels of pain

That doesn't resemble life..!

 

With all this perplexity and stumbling

We delve into the philosophy of life

Awaiting the birth of a surprise from an act

Without the authority of the whip of competitive shadows

Filled with nothingness...

 

It's painful

For a person to live

Under the dome of the sky

Seeking refuge in their imagination

Dreams

And heart

Without belief in love..!

 

The soul dies while still alive !!

 

All forms of death differ in one sweep!
