POETIC DELIGHTS BY AHMED IBRAHIM AL-SHEIKH-EGYPT

 

1-Wisdom

Grief grows like a wise owl's beard, so I invite memories to a feast of reproach. At the edge of the evening, after it's over, I slap stubbornness out of the realm of interest, emerging like a child free of disappointment.

2-Silence

Because I see you cautious? 

As if you fear that my pen might slip into doubt

Return it to the drawers of disappointment,

Like a stray memory that fled from every promise,

Overflowing with the scent of reproach,

Bleeding from a silence that has never healed.

3-My thin beloved,

Illusions gnaw at my heart,

and loneliness lines my face.

Where is the escape from the night of pain?

The heart sinks into a coma from which there is no awakening.

In your absence,

the emptiness widens like an old wound,

Illusions creep deep within me,

the walls of isolation rise around me.

I search for light,

for a hand to save me,

but all paths cry out: No one is here.

I miss you...

The longing suffocates me in my breath.

If you were here,

if my eyes met yours,

I would extinguish this flame in my chest.

I drown in a sea of ​​loneliness,

your love is the only land that does not sink.

I wish to reach you,

to knock on the door of your heart,

to live together in a homeland of infinite presence.

You are the light in my darkness,

you are the only hope that awakens me every morning.

I wish I could stay by your side,

as light remains in the eye of the sun. 

I love you...

I love you to the point of drowning.

I miss you so much.

Your love.
