AshenA Poem by Sami KhalilA labor of love to heal the bruising...Ashen...By Sami Khalil Healing the bruising... The Poem: I planted you, In the legacy of bruised skies, In the further callings of noted flowers
as colors escape orphanages And yield to the roots of spring
conscience. I planted you, Naked with bed full apologies, Of ceaseless moons with pity on prisoners,
who survive daily devotions, wearing the shadows of absence. I planted you, In the rebirth of wilted petals, Who survive in distant valleys, attached to indecision of the hearts, Footsteps away from light in the broad fields
of death. I planted you, In my intimate words of wedded
vocabulary, Around soft edges of intuitions where our
critics below are confused, Spinning in a state of head spin. I planted you, In the misreading of ashen rituals, As white temples, churches and mosques
stand as living archives to almost divinity, in unison of a lost sermon.
