Melting gold

I composed

A song of perhaps

You and I

Eternal

A pair of humming birds free

Flight in the night’s sky

 

Decomposed

Flesh flung back at me

Bitter truth

Of this realm

The vanishing sweet corpses

Locked in death’s embrace

 

Illusion

Of mortality

Sank my heart

Then I heard

The voices singing the song

They sang beyond Time

 

Fading chant

Infused with the Love

Survived flesh

Burnt afresh

Cinders of memories flew

Back into motion

 

Emotion

Fanned by raging flames

Rekindled

The soul’s spark

If you hear not then do hark

Rising phoenix sings

 

You and I

Rotating dust specks

Settled in

Deep within

Where the core burgeoned again

Into soft petals

 

Purple bloom

On tree of whispers

Endless hum

Fills our cores

Deep in nooks of heart that stores

Carefree melodies

 

Ethereal

We rise through the airs

Whiff of scent

Hearts unbent

Pollinized sparkles of sun

Forming the true shape

 

Liquid frame

It rises from meld

Of the fires

Melting gold

Into crevices of rain

Eternal sunshine

Lost fragments

The soul gathers slow

Endless task

Humming low

In the twining suns I bask

Split between the Times

 

Take my words

Reunite their glow

In half-light

The half truths

More than feel of nursery rhymes

Picture perfect shot

 

Hear them now

Arrival of birds

Giant wings

Leader sings

The songs of new beginnings

Of transformation

L’entends-tu?

Il vole dans mon Cœur

Indompté

Eternel

Un oiseau des bois sauvage

Au bec vert des prés

 

Il exhibe

Plumes multicolores

Son sang coule

Bleu des cieux

Oiseau lyre aux mille clameurs

Cœur du sceau des dieux

 

Le vois-tu ?

Il susurre tout bas

Chant d’hier

Aujourd’hui

Passé composé qui luit

En notes de musique

 

Chef d’orchestre

Maître du son infime

Sonnant pieu

Comme aveu

De nos faiblesses en grande heure

Déserte la demeure

 

Les sens-tu ?

Il flotte dans mon sang

Oiseaux morts

Plumes tremblantes

Pourrissement une démarche lente

Les cadavres exquis

 

Le rêve coule

A tambours battants

Bleu ciment

Son mouroir

L’agneau choisit l’abattoir

Au domaine des loups

Exquisite corpses

Do you hear?

There flies in my Heart

Never tamed

Eternal

A savage bird of the woods

Its beak green meadows

 

The bird flouts

Colourful feathers

Its blood flows

Blue of skies

Lyre bird of thousand clamors

Heart Seal of the Gods

 

Can you see?

It whispers softly

Old chants

In today

A past tense that is shining

In musical notes

 

Conductor

Tiny sound master

Sounding pure

Confession

Our weaknesses in dire Times

Deserted the house

 

Do you feel?

There floats in my blood

Some dead birds

Feathers quake

Rotting is a slow process

Exquisite corpses

 

The dream sinks

To the beating drums

Blue cement

Its deathbed

The lamb chooses slaughterhouse

In the land of wolves

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

When the bird chirps soft

Spring softer makes its way through

Flurry of gardens

Within the bosom mellow

Sunshine smiles hummed melodies

 

The nests are now built

Every strand a tireless flight

Parents made myriads

The hands that ironed now rest

Bright uniforms hanging prim

 

Rows of birds gather

Their beaks keen tools of language

Yellow orange flare

Women and children converse

Recommendations for school

 

Birds fly high in skies

Aerial exercise of grace

Coordinated

Mothers watch babies’ movements

Their eyes warm support system

 

A woodpecker cries

Its nest’s entrance occupied

By bees’ colonies

Livelihood created wiped

New livelihood emerges

 

Flowers bloom silent

Resplendent colours gushing

The fading shine bright

I watch harmony within

Losing all yet having all

When time comes

Back to the basics

The soul flocks

Remembrance

A tale of the pale gridlocks

That restricted Heart

 

What once was

Dissolved in nothing

Mere shadow

Of its might

With distance comes stronger sight

The age sets optics

 

Dioptric

Play on geometry

Focal point

Wavering

Youth but stubborn myopic

Prolonging blindness

 

Coarse regret

Now a grinning clown

Lips stretched pink

Heart goes down

Wandering with centipedes

No mind that impedes

 

Soothing air

Courses through my lungs

Wane threads stir

Clouds that sink

The knots in tips of the fir

As it battles skies

 

Hark now hear!

Through their constant cries

Chirping birds

Remind us

Of the roots that bore the tree

Taller than lifetimes

The birds on my window sill and on the tree neighbouring my window:

Whisper soft

Bathe me in cotton

Breathe me in

Breathe us out

Garlands of smoke on a cloud

Coursing through your lungs

 

Stay revel

Under mists of fate

Cast the spell

Show and tell

Like children discovering

Seal the iron ring

 

I will bring

Yesterday’s anthems

Cast again

Nations’ song

We flock to where we belong

Birds of a feather

 

Steel leather

They bind but the frame

The mind free

The soul high

I wish upon highest skies

Over green valleys

 

Show me maps

That I may seek you

In journeys

Of resolve

We broil more than we solve

The mind a weak tool

 

Stay in six

Pleasures confuse me

Like railways

They split us

Carriages roar North and South

Accidents on tracks

I keep having to choose again sometimes different videos as people keep blocking videos for whatever rights on music and images, leaving me and the reader/listener/viewer with an empty video link. Sometimes the video blends in still with the poem and is meaningful but often only the sound experience remains. Apologies for that but I can’t help people making their videos private or youtube just censoring everyone. I had to replace Nu – Man o to and Floater by Waldeck. Sometimes I don’t even know what to replace as I was not writing the names before and therefore don’t remember which video conveyed my groove at that point in time when I was writing the poem

Nu – MAN O TO (Original Mix)

Memories – Waldeck

Jamaican Bistro – Waldeck

Mother wakes

Shaking off the crusts

From past wounds

Stretching taut

We receive havoc we brought

With our tiny hands

 

Tall splendour

She unfolds her gait

Ninth wonder

Defines her

Moving through Eleventh gate

Lava and thunder

 

Molten breath

She trembles and heaves

With the tides

As she rides

Brings upon us Mercy’s death

Split faith her stallion

They cling to tatters

Dying leech

Mind flatters

While the seeing heart scatters

The children

Survivors of wreck

They sail lone

No captain

Only ghosts upon the deck

As they whimper lost

We reborn

From scattered blue coil

Remember

Past glory

Huddled in ship hear story

Of ancestors’ toil

Now rejoice

I will remind you

How we fled

Tomorrow

Leaving behind us sorrow

Shedding it like leaves

 

Nasal voice

Through Time’s loudspeaker

Calls for me

Warning shrill

It transforms to wing my gill

Splitting the ethers

 

Hurry child

Follow flight of birds

They head South

Where waters

Split through the red desert storms

Basking in two suns

Words spoken

Like leaves in the rain

Fluttering

Wandering

From the mind to tip of tongue

They hold ecstasy

 

The shining

Rolling fantasy

As they heave

Like oceans

Breaking on the shore of mouth

Where they singe, the pain!

 

Keep talking

It is but in mind

Impressions

Of peeling

The skin breaks in revealing

Secrets of bosom

The decay

It counts slow pieces

Parts of lips

Fallen red

On the ground a pool of dread

Quirks of existence

Resistance

Slow path through the light

Shimmering

Inside me

A gate to safe where I flee

Unwarranted flight

 

I chose left

Where path took turn right

Mistakes made

Experience

Of the good and the ugly

Oh love how they smite!

 

I won’t tell

Of crestfallen hearts

That winced

At light words

Thrown like stones at falling birds

Spoken in Silence

Remember

The lazy sunshine

Uncovered

Discovered

Our creased and tired bodies

That night had stitched tight

 

We withdrew

Chasing the slumber

Your neck firm

Nose in crooks

Of those times I could write books

Tantalising flights

 

Inside you

Lemon and honey

The bees clung

The flies cried

Upon your shirt my tears dried

Summer was blazing

 

Winter came

It skipped autumn’s leaves

Fast hurtled

Blood curdled

The scream never left my lips

Smothered in silence

 

waters matthiaswyler ch

 

Outside Blue

Scent of jam wasted

Blueberries

Mossy bread

Knives tearing inside my head

Remains of dried fruit

 

Apple pie

Clammy like a lie

Stuffed throat

Faces gloat

The love is not for keeping

Like us you’re weeping

 

I dive lone

Into bleak memories

The lakes blue

The sun high

The heart brimming in a sigh

Plunge in Neverland

 

Forgotten

The path to surface

Oxygen

Rarefied

From everything the Heart shied

Tray gold food rotten

 

Within dreams

My toe meets your knee

Shivering

Stolen touch

Alas memories how they flee

With my sight waking

 

I stand still

The birds now chirp low

Their beaks keen

Hues unseen

Colours fuse on window sill

The glass a blue wall

 

They fly free

While I turn my back

Underage

By design

Running still on the same track

In childhood I whine

 

Bring me now

To this grown body

Dried raisins

Await me

You and I a haunted ghost

Abyss clothed in skins

She timeless

Runs through the forests

Laughter bright

Hooded night

A shield from morrows

Binds her to your corpse

 

Suddenly

You cut the ropes loose

Hanging hard

Clinging on

The loose ends ring emptily

The feelings now dawn

 

Bittersweet

Threads of silk flutter

You are gone

The clouds fall

Crashing on Earth they are born

Waters in rivers

 

Now I live

Unseeing eye strays

Blank stares freeze

Warm Heart thaws

There are reasons to forgive

I find many ways
