Luna

Speaking of romance...The Moon is that silent sailor...

Luna………………By Sami Khalil

Speaking of romance…

The Poem:

Speaking of…

That silent sailor

Sailing upon dark notes

Owing its debt to the sun

Beaming in complexions of castaways

Slitting darkness till the last border lines

When the serene wheels of dawn prayers turn.

 

Speaking of…

The only progeny

To the first virgin mother

Land of eventual wanderings

Fusing waves of textured people

To colors of clay and clod belongings

Where anthems translate patois of flooded stragglers.

 

Speaking of…

This petticoat companion

That night ferry in the inky sky

Languishing in cardered memories

Of travelers clad in restive seasons

Under the silvery shafts of starry lights

Where the ticking clock on the horizon kindles images.

 

Speaking of…

Those who are cleaved between the heart and the moon.

This is exquisite. The gentleness of tone and the way the words flow have a timeless, classic feel. This could have been written two hundred years ago by one of the great English Romantics. The last full stanza in particular is absolutely stand out in my opinion.

Beccy.

That final verse was potent. It is not a stretch to say that that imagery will remain with me, for a long time. I miss your writing Sami, as you have always had your fingertips on the pulse of what is love, and true. You are a bridge to the era of romanticism and honor, a bridge we should all have access to, lest we forget what is truth.

Thank you, for sharing here.

Really nice piece Sami, very nice flow, romantic vision of the moon. One thing, and it may be just me, but I might leave off the exclamation at the end, but that might just be my taste.
