And as if once again, to the Poem I return And as if once again, to the poem I return Then why whenever I wrote to you specifically I felt I would let these fingers penetrate all the raved skies And that I would threaten history to vanish And that I would return the equator to its orbit after it had gone astray And that I would confer on beauty the wings of creed And that I am Iyad, the Son of the Poem And why does massive longing invade me when I remember your hairstyle And whenever I remember your lips And your delicious figure And its flashing warmth to the limit of thawing me And your long nails longing to scratch me And your ornate nose And your teeth lined a novel crescent Emerging from the beginning of the month, neither setting nor falling asleep And your foot that I loved a lot And this jasmine armpit that had accepted me a political refugee and accommodated me within its folds And your voice; This fact that arrives and my territories it ignites one after another And the time it comes feeling asleep It throws me right next to you and accommodates me in your land Then, Can I find an explanation for all of that? Don’t speak It suffices that I perceive the yearns raining from your eyes And to walk beneath it without a protective umbrella So wet me to walk beneath it And wet me to run beneath it And wet me to compose your name and serenade And maybe they would mark me "The stooge son of the poem’s history" And perhaps this would make me rejoice Since no one is happier than the stooges on this Earth You have all the “I” and what lies between its folds as I once again, to the Poem I return Me June 19th, 2002 Dr. Iyad Salah "Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love; love recompenses the adorers."

BTW, I used to live in NC "Raleigh-Durham" (Shining days of my life) Crystal.. Thanx from the heart Martie.. Glad indeed you passed by, This poem was borne all at once with no deletions nor additions. I wrote it all at once after I saw her for the first time.

And why does massive longing invade me when I remember your hairstyle And whenever I remember your lips And your delicious figure And its flashing warmth to the limit of thawing me And your long nails longing to scratch me And your ornate nose And your teeth lined a novel crescent Emerging from the beginning of the month, neither setting nor falling asleep And your foot that I loved a lot And this jasmine armpit that had accepted me a political refugee and accommodated me within its folds And your voice; This fact that arrives and my territories it ignites one after another And the time it comes feeling asleep It throws me right next to you and accommodates me in your land Then, Can I find an explanation for all of that? Don’t speak It suffices that I perceive the yearns raining from your eyes And to walk beneath it without a protective umbrella So wet me to walk beneath it And wet me to run beneath it And wet me to compose your name and serenade And maybe they would mark me "The stooge son of the poem’s history" yes.... Sunshine was right... I do enjoy these and the intellect as well as the passion with which they are presented... very nice.. very nice indeed. |
