Sultana Of The Sea... (24)
I bite the lips
of the desolate night
And I ask myself
when doubt overwhelms me,
Did the rain
precede her birth?
Or did the
afflicted thunder's flash fall upon the branches of the soul?!
I tried so hard
to unravel the mysteries of the rampant arrogance that burns within me...
Then the back of
that belonging "A" arched,
And it climbed
the ladder of smoke bubbles,
Patching up the
minutes of the bundles and devouring the day.
And from the
bitterness of my coffee fell,
The dreams of
the evening with the delirium of a yellow wall.!!
My Heart's Queen.. (25)
Like a delicate
crack, your warmth seeps through,
To touch the
shifting order of my darkness..
And that stray
pulse settles within me
When you pass
through the window of my heart with a complex secrecy
Appointments
don't fit with the wall calendar
And no meaning
remains for the mysterious moments
All thoughts
touch my heart lightly Like the falling snowflakes of winter, from your
femininity
And beneath the
cloak of angelic wings...
The verses of
the fall are interpreted with feeble explanations
And you were a
miracle, transcending the time of the prophets...!
And on the edge
of the earth I slept, awaiting
The death of the
letter R for war, beyond imagination.
My Heart's Queen.. (26)
The memory of
exile stumbles with its steps...
When the light
steals the shawl of my dreams
Leaving its
shadow to squeeze my proud pains
In the eyes of
yesterday before departure,
I found my hand
counting the fingers of time
And severing it
from the traps of its promises...
Whenever I tamed
sorrow with my tears
I found the poem
praising it with some The Hadith
And she sells
the soul's essence in its markets,
How can I clothe
the nakedness of my heart with excuses...
While emptiness
tramples the fire of waiting with its feet?
It waters its
lilies with the rain of clouds,
At the setting
of the sun, and the body of the earth conceives
With the frailty
of the threads of a barren generosity
In the bottom of
an empty cup...!
