Winter shrill

Winter shrill

28 October 2016

The whispering voices marked the pace of slow feet

We crawled into corner that spun shunning all light

We grappled with choices pulsing vein to meet fleet

Like starry eyed mourner death to us more than white

 

In dead leaves the choice is what we win in defeat

The springs did adorn her from green woodlands in sprite

The autumn rejoices courting floors it will meet

Their carpets had borne her she would shower them bright

 

A look through my window to waning springtime frill

The flowers that simmer with a slain chirping tune

The echo rang mellow like on mocking bird hill

 

Snowflakes in land glimmer under silvery moon

His head on my pillow now calling winter shrill

The lights then grew dimmer shadows fade all too soon

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

I listen

To chatter of birds

They carry

Your heartbeat

The sound of oncoming spring

Gushing in fountains

 

Hark renew

Millenary faith

In footsteps

Of mother

Sunken grounds bear the mildew

Of past green composts

 

Mark my words

We will dance to bond

Written high

In the sky

Spelling a wit’s exercise

Miss stakes of the wise

 

Feel the touch

It speaks of precious

Breath luscious

Blowing soft

Upon nape crawling aloft

Serpentine pathways

 

Seek the chain

Unlock written tense

Future spent

Past pretense

Words a string of hope and pain

Makers of the rain

 

Rent a room

With a view to buy

Estates grasp

Fingers clasp

Joint prayers to funerals

Of the heaving boom

 

Speak promise

Of shadowed sunshine

Cool mist weighs

Balanced rhythms

Your step foretelling my hip

Between cup and lip

Slow they show

The shimmering peaks

The love’s hope

Periscope

Looking out of the waters

Rimmed with icy blue

 

The cleansing

Gift of springtime’s sprouts

Dancing feet

Humming beat

Prancing around the lilies

Chasing across Time

 

It blinks fast

The glowing heartbeat

Building up

Winding stairs

Leading down into the wells

Where the blood simmers

Flatline’s trace

When all is balance

Without face

She calls loud

Her shadows like the moon’s hue

Silver and grey streaks

 

We renew

From depths of our selves

Holy chants

Bees’ water

Our birth into mystic skies

Which speak of fear’s loss

 

Of decaying skin

Cleaned so neat what feat!

This absence

In presence

I scrubbed harder than steel nails

This soul how she wails

The moon flies

Over dark rivers

Where men cry

As they die

Their souls steeped in nothingness

The void it calls so

 

In the skies

High above the trees

She glimmered

Slight traces

Aurora borealis

Shimmering portal

 

Pilgrimage

To darker silence

Where the waves

Ride the shades

Of snow falling onto stones

Altars of the old

We rehearse

Death and its shadows

Like bleak slaves

Submissive

Mortality donned like cloak

We once immortal

 

They bind us

With paper names’ codes

Like grey moths

To stark light

We go down without a fight

Our minds bound to false

 

Like dewdrops

The gleaming droplets

Of bloods call

Misery

A notion to overcome

As the Ravens swarm

Spring cleaning

Life condemns

The flailing fledglings

Cast on limb

Broken souls

Searching for key in other

Inside dwell answers

 

Succession

Of partners flurry

One night stands

Hurried love

Immersion in dark dwellings

Caves for the half-baked

 

Truths simmer

Under the fleeced skin

Wincing taut

Stand at ease

There is light in the shadows

Not all courts martial

 

Immersion

A haunting thought creeps

Diving deep

Into hides

My skin seeks more than the touch

Invading senses

Senseless games

Playing one’s own mind

Losing fast

Hand in sling

All the doubts that they will bring

These pawns that we move

 

Handicapped

One hand claps never

Alone pale

Barely snap

Fingers attempting some joy

Whistle stuck in throat

 

When to learn

Perhaps when skin peels

Efforts lost

Clapping hard

Against chest flanks jagged ribs

Some hands claps sever

 

I aim soft

At moving targets

Illusion

Breach of trust

The steely will now does rust

Red the waste matter

Imagine

Colours of a beak

Glory’s peak

Word to speak

Iridescent mouth hardened

By years of trials

 

The wise ones

They arm with patience

The waiting

Discovery

Going through the kernel’s path

The way to the self

 

You can clean

Arches of doorways

Rid cobwebs

Of spiders

The room’s content lost treasures

Other lifetimes’ hunt

 

Spring cleaning

Relentless forte

I wear it

Bright motto

Speleologist grotto

My search sane and blunt

The fresh spring breeze

Spreading upon snow clad paths

Ice and weeds patterns

 

The heart in love’s mode

Flowed into green beginnings

Where sprouts spoke of life

 

Crisp wind sang aloud

Of flowers’ variety

That splattered springs’ way

Lucid dreams awake

Ice yesterday’s snow grown cold

Faith a kindling fire

 

Wish upon a star

Watch it travel translucent

Into horizons

 

I will reach you there

Our bodies luminous arks

Love’s aspiration

The souls translucent

Travel through winter’s long breath

A world of belief

 

Your heart’s white crystals

Promise of pearls for my heart

Dewdrops a lifeline

 

Thawing crystal flakes

Hope a glimmer of relief

As spring makes its way

I fall through the cracks

In between tiles that shudder

Winter’s ice-clad touch

 

I fall through the cracks

Dropping from the wall’s peelings

That autumn rain cast

 

I fall through the cracks

From one ledge to another

That summer clad beige

I fall through the cracks

As the air opens its pores

Sizzling mist around

 

I fall through the cracks

As the skies open their arms

Shedding me sunrays

 

I fall through the cracks

Between needles and clock’s face

As Time slowly dies

Man and sun conspired

Man and sun conspired

5 January 2016

vast clouds

 

The sun emerged white

Battling with moonlit traces

Broad skies twined two lights

 

The moon shied away

Night’s ample reach drowned in cold

Conceding fair skies

 

Sunny morrows rose

Shining petals shone through clouds

Limitless broad smiles

 

IMG_5665

 

Awakening birds

Chirped through boundless horizons

Voices crystal clear

 

Winter clothed vast lands

In mocking fields of springtime

Luminous rain fell

 

Pleasant flowers laughed

Immense wit to trick seasons

Man and sun conspired

 

vast jasmine

Reinvented spring

Reinvented spring

3 January 2016

 

Spectacles, new eyes

Look within their frame’s focus

Winter’s snow turns crisp

 

Next doors a bird chirps

A leafy tree in desert

Reinvented spring

 

 

Rain’s pitter patter

Upon the meadows flowers

Snow preserved by walls

 

Beach sands extended

Slight rivers joining the sea

Summer kissed winter

I wrote this poem in a series of Haiku bordering on Senryu because it struck me how much it is typical of this country in its winter to know of three seasons within the same time; mainly winter, spring and summer together but during some days winter, spring and autumn bizarrely depending on where you are going. The winter symbol is of course man-made with the construction of ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates where you can go skiing regardless of the temperature outside. Winter here is the equivalent of spring in Europe and when it is not raining the weather is fantastic, flowers are blooming and birds are chirping everywhere.
