Poetry Remains My Haven

Poetry remains my haven

Verses that I dwell in

And they dwell in me

My sentiments flow in them

My blood pours in my ink

I search for myself

Reshape my world

Live my full liberty

Draw my feelings

Pull away with my imagination

Elevate to touch the sky

Tickle the clouds

And the rain falls in my palms

I sit with the moon

Collect the stars

Ornament with them the trees

I love you the way I want

Whenever I want

And summon the spring in winter

I become complete in the presence of inspiration

And in its absence I'm in a state of division

I glow in the presence of the poetry’s devil

And in his absence I'm in a state of disorientation

I don't know if my poetry for you

Is because I love you

Or I love you to write poetry

I don't know if the geniality of what I write

Is from my mind or from the Valley of Abqar*

But I know that poetry in my life

Is a desire, gift and estimated destiny

 

*(In Arab Myths Abqar is the valley where the devils of poetry live)
