The World After Thousand Dawns

The  world after thousand dawns
(To an Isis fighter )
A poem by :Ali Riyadh (Iraqi Poet)
Translated by: Laith Seher
O who woke up after thousand dawn ago,
The dawns burned ,the ashes became a night .
Stand up ,close your eyes .
Seek  the newborn baby at  this  new dawn 
behind his eyelids, there lies light
Touch him , your fingers get anesthesia.
He warms your  frozen  blood .
Open your eyes , gaze at  him ,
You will see how the world  becomes colourful after thousand dawn ago without you .

Children

A child with one leg , 
a child with one arm, 
a child with one eye   
and a child with one lever  were gathering  there ,
near their organs
Which became the fifth child underground  .

A Dove

A Dove
 
We said :What are  all those  feathers ?
When  we walked  for  the funeral of the kid . 
His father raised  his hand ,
 picked up a feather
 and  cried :This is the word "a dove"
He learned  to say since two days. 
we forget to take it out of his mouth .

Time

The Time is dying
Mine  is not .
There is an umbilical cord
Between my pulse
and your watch

The Dead

The dead      
 
The dead are refugees 
To an immortal caves,
Hidden in the pockets of the earth,
They are escaping from sins 
 Exhausting by the pain .
We are the dead 
But we are walking.

The Fire and the Lantern

The Fire and The lantern
  By :Nameq Abed Theeb 
  Translated by :Laith Seher 
-----------------------------------------------


All the seasons are absorbed or exhausted ,
by the cloud  who  is being in love with the mountain .
-----------------------------------
The blood of the poet is a carnation of the female. 
-------------------------
Don’t laugh at me ,
I am the ash.
My father is the thunder,
and my mother is the wood . 
-----------------------------
Her lips  are blue,
this  girl kisses the sky .
-------------------------
How much coal does this fire need so as to dance .
How many flowers does this girls want  to be wet.  
-----------------------------------
The fire is cold
Ibrahim enters it .
-----------------------------------
The female  of the carnation closed the market ,
It is the complaint of a merchant
Who didn’t sell anything .
-----------------------------
The dance of the fire
makes the lantern oozes the light .
--------------------------------
"I am dancing
so you are  existed " .
this is  an  excuse
of the fire
who is entangling  the lantern .

The Sea

To  whom the sea will complain
  his sorrow?
If  the gulls emigrate.

My light doesn’t tell the truth"

The Pistol of the Priest

The Pistol of the Priest

When the world resurrected
from a hanging hole between the thighs.
The body brought  out with  all his animals ,
The priest  brought out , 
carrying a pistol,
 surrounded by the corpses  of the roses, 
and the lamentation of the angels .
