HEAVENLY CREATURESA Poem by Yahya Oulad AouidThunderous is her rage; mother to my life and yours The ancient spark lights up the dome with beams brighter than Saqqara’s catacombs, He is born, he is born!! The birds have groaned yet a heavens’ breath is the
hand nesting the bird, Merriment is my home for the light he tenaciously bore
when the heavens shook He answered my calls, his providence I beseeched and
his holy book, I let my legs fly to the wind that carries me like a
lilac in weather-green wonderment And I splash the waters and push forth the motion of
time, yet something must’ve befell me, A dreamless child must the water flee, for its depth
is a whirlpool to time But I march under the spell of my conceit, and in the
waters I seek a dime, Thereby steep are the seas’ swirling mouths to the
belly that feeds and nourishes But the soil was sown in genesis; wheat faces
sunshine, blooms and flourishes. She dances briskly in her grandma’s home-sown gown of
dreams and haze An orb of light she is to the beholder of old days; a fragrant
lily to her vase, She stops and kneels for the exuberance of a biophilic
soul is measureless When the rays fleeing heaven put a soul in a trance; presumptuous
is the fathomless, Eccentric is her grin, makes one gather a chin, yet they
may wear the seraphic guise Under the spell of ancient harmonies, Demeter caught
the serpent in thrice, In his dominion, a oasis of light is born out of every
frightening strike And he bestowed out of his grace the bearers and the
heralds to visit his mortals once Alas! Twice, Thrice, and as long as man kneels in his
frailest frame! The heart that burns and the void that aches, she
mends with fragrant pollen daisy Tiptoeing to the falling waters, then glides under the
flakes of winter nights And the crimson pomegranate is her shade when she
tires and feels queasily lacy, She sits by the bonfire and lets go to the shackles of
unrealized nostalgia Humming to the deafening serenades of the timeless
flute besides the wispy magnolia. The heavenly gates have opened for the wind to blow
prodigious life For the blacksmith’s ironed shoulder and the farmer’s
golden wrist, and who grapple with strife, The strings are rung in the vastness of a soil so
green, so green as a lush meadow Heavenly creatures struck a gaze at eachother’s
profane frame, under a lurking crow, They crisscrossed their banks to the place where the
other serpent spoiled the joy The profane is so since power defies the rule, and
deliriously she fell for a hellion boy, Time defied the flow of the ship to our captains, yet
tranquility on shore is mutiny When thy spirit must soar, for thee are the beads to
the neckless skies, The tide may arise and disrupt linear bliss; albeit of
Hades’ spells of sea craze Boundless of space, airless as clouds, the petals grow
fair under his gentle blaze, Broomed by the whistling winds are the hairs left in
her bamboo bower Yet the seeds are sown for a flower to born out of
unknown muddiness, under heavy shower. Romeo was doomed to the scent of fatal dwellings and
musings Yet he befell joyous repose when Mors struck his
blade; his time diffusing, Unity was promised in the timeless decrees of prophecy
and creation The fall might sweep the dust of frustration, yet his
decrees are the solemn path of salvation, The tide that was split for the believer to abstain
off blasphemy, has loosened Its grip upon the banished; passion is the remedy to
the fading flesh of the contusioned, The silky gown of ancient genius has shone, my heart
must fly for the chirping sits lighter Upon a soul made brighter, when passion zeniths the
sloppy mountains of Eiger. Her bosom is the temple to seven wonders, yet one
more, beyond, facing the night For he who seeks flight from the grace of the one with
might, may be made frightened When Eden he evades, and his march under profane mist
dims out his light with blight, I might have struck empty walls in the slyly musings
of a blind childish crawl Yet the goblet of Nestor bequeaths eternity, and the
light dissipates the vapor And boulders erupt for his waters to roam, to rise and
fall; to itch new life then fall His decrees are the thread by which our fate is tied
to the stars we hypnotize and savor. © 2025 Yahya Oulad AouidReviews
