August Twenty Eight

Everyday I get up at eight With hope after hope Live those lovely moments Of Spring time mornings To start a new mindful day And leave: The feeling of her eyelash movements in my mind The fact of true passion emerging beside The first letter of the word we have defined And the freedom of our white clouds driven by wind And at night, the first moment of every night, I slip deep through the fragrance of my room Without any will to light up another candle! But today I woke up too late With hope against hope Facing this heavy moment Of an Autumnal morning To end an old mindless day And wait: The feeling of her eye shadow reflections in my mind The fact of true imaginations left behind The last letter of a word we had declined And a broken grey cloud driven by wind And at night, the last moment of this night I slip deep through the darkness of my room Without any will to light up another candle!

Sorry I didn't look at the date it was writen. But your piece whispers is much more reflective of the present age. I thought you were trying to make it seemed like everything was ok over there. Maybe it was back then but not now.

Congrats Bassam on your elegant poem having won the First Round at the PoetrySoup. I wish you success in the finals. I quote for you a Quatrain from my book 'Rubaiyat of Josh Malihabadi -A Drop and the Ocean': Research surpasses the destinations designed/ Pursuit of vision new horizons find/ Knowledge is that miraculous food/ That whets infinitely the hunger of mind.- Mohammad
