The Ten Wonders of Poetry
The Ten Wonders of Poetry
Munir Mezyed
1
I got married to eternity
And the wedding ring
A poem…
2
Bird
Descends into my dream
Turning it
Into a nest of flowers
3
From the spirit
Flocks of Crystalline sparrows
Set out
Chirping god's verses
Sleeping in fairies' laps
Loathed by Bedouins
Envied by poets…!
4
Everyone is lost
In the haze of time
I am lost
Between the cocoons
Gathering words
Falling inadvertently from angels
5
Poem is an ember
In the hearth of tormented soul
When it writes me
I fall in love
With God
Woman
And Home…
6
As soon as I disentangle
The secrets of poetry
I discover
Angles
Woman
And earth
Are one..!
7
As soon as I enter a garden
The Nymphs of Olympus
Sparrows and butterflies follow me
And the seats call me
8
Whenever I cry:
O Mom
Angles descend from the heavens of poetry
Carrying
The scents and flowers of Paradise…!
9
Whenever Palestine
Is mentioned
I become a bird
Chirping in her heaven…
10
As soon as she looks
At my eyes
I feel bullets
Coming from the pistol of her eyes
Hitting directly my heart
Making it bleed with eagerness…
