Garden of Sorrow

Dema Al-Obaidy

Tears....flowing tears
Water the wet mud
Black roses thrive
More sorrows bud
Fears....growing fears
Frightening the skies
For they hide behind clouds
Away from my eyes
As the tree of the past
Shakes off memories
crushed autumnly to ashes
Riding the windy breeze
I remember that you were
The first white rose
To be infected by darkness
To die with petals closed
Why had every flower
That grew after you
Drunk the same elixir
And was darkened too?
Tears wasted here
Where no one dares to go
For death's hand attend
This garden of sorrow

Dema Al-Obaidy

لم يعرفوني في الظلال التي تمتص لوني في جواز السفر.......وكان جرحي عندهم معرضا لسائح يعشق جمع الصور......لم يعرفوني..آه لا تتركي كفي بلا شمس.......لأن الشجر يعرفني؛ تعرفني كل اغاني المطر.......لا تتركيني شاحبا كالقمر! ......عار من الاسم من الانتماء في تربة ربيتها باليدين......ايوب صاح اليوم ملء السماء لا تجعلوني عبرة مرتين!........يا سادتي يا سادتي الانبياء لا تسألوا الاشجار عن اسمها لا تسألوا الوديان عن امها......من جبهتي ينشق سيف الضياء ومن يدي ينبع ماء النهر.........كل قلوب الناس جنسيتي.......فلتسقطوا عني جواز السفر. more…
