Jaafar Sadig El Waad Poet Free verse

Come

Come
(To women, esp. those who care) 

Come
For
The lights have all gone,
The torch lamp’s weary
To drive darkness
Away for
Darkness is eternity!
Light your candle
In order to bequeath 
To the humankind  
The heritage
And be saved!
Come
The seclusion unbearable
O come woman
Come noble creature
To console the suffering
Human race
By the soft sound of your voice
Your turtledove voice
And
Speak when you come
That Chinese I like so much
And
Come when the winds blow
Come when trees crawl
Come when birds sing
Or to loving mates are calling
And
Come when I come
Let’s come together, all our life!

Oh, the night and the torch lamp
O at a dark night of a rainy season
And
At Elobi for a forlorn student
Like me
It’s strident
O my Allah give a woman 
To care for.
