Minarets Poems

Hitler's Watercolours

...This one’s a castle; that’s a customs-house.
They’re stolid, listless, just a little dull.
The sky supports an arbitrary gull.
The languidness of Liszt, the style of Strauss

are wholly absent. ...

Risen More

...From Maurus' shore, a tide arose,
not of ocean, but of faith,
and shadowed Iberia's sun-kissed coast.

Moor, a word that held a continent,
a tapestry of Berber, Arab,
threaded with the blacknes...

Minarets of Memories

...

Beneath the sea-mist moon, surfing in sage ~ 
as minarets of chartreuse stars rise, 
singing citrus cityscape chords 
I feel my footprints waltzing 
away from willow waves... 
wh...

Lost Cities of Indus Vale

...I hail thee ruins of Indus Vale! 
With scented rhyme, with scented gale
Come on from world of mortal dead! 
O come and lively wind inhale! 
More ancient than the pyramids
That rule on ancient Eg...

Minarets

...My narrow hands made minarets
Of castles in the sky
The phantom figures that I traced
Were but for just my eyes

I did not draw upon the sand
For fear the rising tide
Would devastate the effor...

Hiding My Cigarettes

...9:00pm on the dot
And I materialize on the spot:
A Benson ‘n’ Hedges spot
I would at it stop
On a fairly spent night
To enact a scene not right;
Raven-Black for stupid actions
The Pitch-Black ...

Sand In Your Eyes

...Sand in your eyes

Full moon tonight, a supernova to sound educated
last time was in 1948 when the catastrophe hit the Palestine people.
I was twenty at the time and believed what the papers wrot...

ALMERÍA / UMM AL-MARIYA   2007 AD / 1427 AH 

The traveler who journeys to the City of Almería

Sailing Somewhere

...I was placed in my boat of reed,
And placed in a river run smoothed.
I drifted past Moses’ landing place,
Nestled amongst the rushes,
Past Peter’s boat and fishing nets,
Past reformed basilicas ...

Echoes of War

...There beneath the dome of ashen sky
Nary a hint tonight of her favorite stars 
And motion above of cumulus clouds
Neither does thunder, nor pleads aloud.

Restless, voiceless she poignantly reca...

Where New Clouds Wait

...I give you my pen
You scent from roses
A pink joint venture
Our poems at minarets

Lips at warm cups 
Fingers on strings
Another road calls 
It's good-bye turn


We will be in touch
In so...

One Last Forbidden Kiss

...Church bells were heard nearby

As minarets tall, made prayer calls

When they stood on war torn bridge

Parting with one last forbidden kiss.

Sirens of war were loud too,
