Those translucent words
(poetic “translation” into an English Senryu of a Senryu written in Arabic here)
27 April 2016
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
Reading of the poem:
Wounded Heart – Audiomachine
Eve of Battle – Audiomachine
Legacy – Audiomachine
