My Crutches

By: Ali Taha Alnobani My crutches: You shared me all my life But I didn't I was a bird My wings shared the love rhyme To take a look before the adventure To have love forever *** My desire is wider than the open sea and the sky Feathers which grew on my two crutches Drank the wind like a roaring waterfall I can understand the madness I can live in a wild flower Then fly with the pollen To taste the remote ports And breathe like sails *** The story started in a remote forest When a strange man was chopping the wood Then a crazy magician puffed on them to be crutches Till that moment, I had no wings But the feathers grew from my soul in a very cold night The fire shaped me to be a love bird Singing once and traveling an other *** " you are mad" said the trees My face, my neck, were nervous And afraid of squeeze The long days became short And my desire is as wide as the seas I couldn't escape But I knew life more and more *** Inside me There is a cave of horror echo A voice asked me to try To go out To have a moment with the vast sky Angels and monsters are living together An angel upstairs A monster downstairs None sees the other But the bird Can draw his mad city Despite the long roads And the dark cave *** My crutches I'm the heart of the earth And you are my sail To draw the life taste *** And you Believe me; start now There are many things to do For the sake of love and life ***
