The Faithful Student by: Majed Dodeen

The Faithful Student by: Majed Dodeen 

Life is but a trail of shattered dreams....  
Woven from memories...  
Its silence speaks,  
Its threads are thoughts...  

Paintings sketched in memory as flashes,  
The anthem fades into mirage halos,  
Words scatter as fragments along the roads...  
And when memory’s sketch revolts, I retreat inwards,  
Contemplating the journey of years  
A man, weary from exhaustion, asks his soul:  
Who are you?
The heart of love holds its verses,  
I mistook you for poison and ailment, yet you are balm and cure...  
I drew near to hug light, but fire embraced me.  
They claimed you are illusion—I refused to believe such deception.  
I stripped my crown and crowned you,  
Enrolled my name as a loyal student in your school 
I love your enchanting eyes,  
Kiss your brow—my homeland is your angelic face.  
They condemned me for loving you chastely and innocently 
I’ll love you as honor demands,  
And sing to the world and to you:  
O oxygen of my life,  
O fountains of the soul sailing within me 
The voyage stretches as it is endless,  
Crossing every sea and every station,  
Spreading joy with resolve.  
It searches...  
Scatters my chambers,  
Digs through my memories’ files 
In the eyes, a turmoil and confusion

Embodying resolve, yet unresolved...  

Brief moments  
The veil of secrets falls,  
Waves awaken from slumber.  
Your eyes... twin stars and twin waves,  
Cast glances in succession,  
Wringing memories  
Drop by drop  
As tears flow freely...  

And anew,  
Roots are born  
Green virgin meadows,  
Tears burst into radiance and candles...  

In the cells,  
In the grieving heart,  
Love’s gifts endure 
Budding blooms  
Blossoms to mend wounds of years...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
