Ashen

A 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.

This poem is amazing poetry. I like the artwork and the strong description.
"I planted you,
Naked with bed full apologies,"

In the ashen grace of life's sermon
our seed keeps on falling as if it never grew
but it is there and deep inside we knew

someday, someday
that everything will fall into place
of what you planted,
make your life just
enough to be perfect...

time heals all wounds......

So... you planted and it would help you grow as it grew. You planted so that it would become something that would heal and not work against you. You planted and was able to turn pain into something beautiful and worthy and you planted so that pain would not bury you. This was what I got from it...you know you are too much Sam...TOO MUCH and just enough :)
