Down by the river

Counting stones

Down by the river

Each pebble

A symbol

Of weight that creased the footstep

When feet were nimble

 

Walking straight

Aloft the waters

Heaven’s pull

Contrasting

Gravity everlasting

Maintaining balance

 

Water flows

Endless free motion

No cushion

Commotion

A state of being alive

In expectation

We bear ills

Of every nation

Our hearts fenced

Our minds tight

Shutters barely let in light

Shadows our pittance

 

There are trees

That grow in the air

When I look

They are there

My mind their only manure

The sky’s tears their food

 

The world twirls

Dark merry-go-round

Yet I dream

Yes I dream

Images that join stream

Down by the river

Opposites

Intertwined movements

Pull and push

Seize, repel

The light creates the darkness

Darkness spurs the light

 

Forever

Unending relay

Lost battle

Defining

Each object soul declining

The duality

 

Idle thoughts

Interpretation

My mind sits

In between

The feeling and the intent

Complex misgivings

 

There are times

All we have are rhymes

Of shadows

In the Heart

Coupling decoupling stanzas

In weary patterns

 

The fullness

It begs for the void

The questions

A hunger

Weak the inner selves avoid

Bitter aftertastes

 

The soul wastes

In bodies that lie

The tongue sharp

Knives wicked

Speech a way to hurt or soothe

The sword in a glove

 

Only Love

The heavenly boon

Caresses

Undresses

The soul a sweet naked flame

A wild bird to tame

Daffodils wither

Alongside the riverbeds

Like bleak blackened suns

 

The waters swirl fierce

They bear weight of thousand griefs

As the shadows set

 

Darkness speaks thunders

The bolts firmly set in place

Rekindle the flame

 

The candle burns bright

Like token of forever

Springs into motion

 

Dying flame belies

Engraved thoughts of revival

Etched within my skin

 

The blindness sets in

Unmoved by extra senses

The hopeless trod on

 

Meet me in July

I will swing to lonely tunes

On the other side

Friday brings

Darkened pangs of fear

Forgotten

Oaths of Love

All that we had then held dear

When we brandished wings

 

I flutter

In between the realms

Of half light

Blue darkness

Heart caught in the wilderness

Between drops of Time

 

Empty rhyme

Faces apple tree

We ate least

Of the crust

When we ran so wild and free

In the blue gardens

 

Golden ark

Shimmering silence

Where bodies

End the souls

They dream of embers and coals

While the rivers flow

 

Hidden spark

Ignites inner realms

The Master

At the helms

Only the soul goes faster

Forget fading light

 

I speak bright

He quotes the darkness

In between

Half-light stares

Our eyes held the stone clad glares

Polarity world

The night wears

My limitless frame

Like a cloak

Of darkness

Concealing the light within

My endless source bright

 

Soul awake

Watches as they quake

Minds clinging

Desperate

To a grey world now dying

Broken synapses

 

Weak attempts

Mending the bridges

Stitching seams

Killing dreams

Pushing dreamers to ridges

End of the journey

 

Infinite

The rays of the heart

They soar high

Into sky

Explosion of truths in lie

Cosmic clarity

 

Scarcity

Fabricated scheme

Enslaving

Paths of love

Clipping the wings of the dove

Of lost abundance

 

We will reach

The valleys of hope

Downward slope

Upward push

Known forces of resistance

All fake rules to breach

Silent stream

World of inversion

Relentless

Whirling fast

Desperation to the last

Of fading monsters

 

Strident scream

World of perversion

Black to white

The weak smite

The kings walk slow in tatters

While the knaves bear crowns

 

Inside out

The miracles wane

Fading pain

New desire

Unending cycle matters

The caves of my mind

 

Light splatters

Cavities of eyes

I see them

The dark hordes

Silhouettes cut against gleam

Of waning moonbeam

 

They depict

With our quaking fears

Shades of grey

Loss decay

Down once more into the fray

Battle creation

 

Upside down

Kafka they remind

Those patterns

Bleak lanterns

Rising of the dead who drowns

Though the hand extends

 

We will see

The victorious ends

Rise of tides

That repeat

Endless the ways of defeat

When hearts speak sorrow

 

White pages

They speak to me scores

Sentences

Suspended

The trail of lives now ended

When agony won

 

We are one

Our beauty so clear

Fine crystal

Shimmering

The end of slavery’s ring

No trade where no fear

تلك الكلمات / Those translucent words

تلك الكلمات

(Poetically translated into a Senryu in English below or here)

٢٧ أبريل ٢٠١٦

Those words

تلك الكلمات

تضاربت في ثديي

طيور في قفص

∞

و أغانيهم

كسر المد والجزرفي الدم

دورة القمر

∞

 قد تحدثنا

مثل طنين مليون نحل

لفت أيدينا

∞

حول العقود

الآجلة صورت

لهب الوحدة

∞

تلك الكلمات

حمامة حلقت

فائقة الكسر

∞

نار الوعود

رمز للضوء الداخلي

من ضمن الظلام

∞

كل ما كان

يحل تدريجيا

دخان رمادي

∞

قشرة الأرض

دائرة حول شمسين

أعماق الوضوح

∞

قراءة القصيدة: 

Those translucent words

(poetic  “translation” into an English Senryu of a Senryu written in Arabic, above or here)

27 April 2016

Words English

Those translucent words

They beat fast in my bosom

Like fierce and caged birds

 

Their beautiful songs

Broken tides of the dark blood

A cycle of moon

 

We once spoke along

Like buzz of a million bees

Our hands were still wrapped

 

Around bright futures

That unfolding slow portrayed

Light of Unity

 

Those translucent words

They flew like a dove so high

Born Unbreakable

 

The shimmering bond

A token of inner light

Within the darkness

 

All that there once was

Gradually dissolving

In grey wisps of smoke

 

Earth’s crust Revolving

Circling my two fading suns

Depths of Clarity

Trapped in white

I have gone too far

Into Death

Wasted Breath

Heaving chest inhales a star

The loss of Colour

Paint Darkness

Across burning lids

Dazzling bright

Purple light

Crawl into my loneliness

The loss of this World

Hovering

Above silver skies

Shivering

Baleful lies

Stare me in the eyes that weep

Universe that whirled

Now I fade

Dazzling angels reach

Into me

My eyes wade

In rivers of priests that preach

Untold stories’ strife

Bring me back

I am losing touch

Withered toes

Churning throes

Take my keyboard and quick hack

The dark rasping sounds

Heaving darkness closing in

Respite in sleep’s loss

 

The night spoke whispers

Into the Heart of sorrow

Laying in dungeons

Irresolute paths

Between truths and concealments

Roads to perdition

 

Sleeveless in winter

For Heart to wear but in cloak

Through blistering storms

 

Crystal clear ripples

She forged a way in waters

Through liquid portals

Doors closed tight across

Waning memories that lurched

From bowels to throat

 

Shutting out the screams

Hell’s kitchen let out oozing

Blood in the moonlight

The chances in ice

Celebrations yet dormant

Within Time’s spaces

 

A cramped sky of white

Clouds gathered competition

The silver linings

 

Birds in flights’ starkness

On backdrops of Heavens’ rims

Surrogate sisters

 

A hand on my knee

Pressure of a thousand cries

Purple dreams’ shadows

 

Your tears in my eyes

As wells brimmed with old despair

Crossed darkness in Heart

 

Summer’s painted skies

Contrasting orange for blue

Mythical morrows

 

Perhaps one Winter

I will swim in the lava

That burns within you
