October

A Poem by M.Kilani

Published in the book of "Jordan Poetry : The Departure"

Waiting for the winter … a reason for me to feel that cold
Waiting I am … for tears washing drops of rain
Waiting I am… for a cold breeze for physical pain
Waiting for the winter … waiting for words that are still untold

Waiting I used to be and wait I will till the last breath I hold
Waiting I am … alone once again
Waiting I am … for a cigarette under the rain
Waiting for the winter … for a silence walk in an empty road

And came October and winter is still late
I miss those clouds hiding sky and sunshine
Why am I waiting how long can I wait

Still it is October the month of mourn and hate
I miss standing outdoors when rain falls in my wine
I lost the hope of summer and my believe of fate
