Reflections of Time

Reflections of Time             by Sami Khalil

(Once upon love)

She reached for me

Through the holy and profane

Through prayers and skeletons

There were dashes in our blood

An absent silken kiss

A plead for immortality

A bleed through the hourglass

Indifferent to the enigma

Lingering upon our minds’ chaos and repose.

People had not the faintest ideas

To hearken to the windswept storms

The smoldering eternal forms

Only love did, spoken in a blinding arrogance

For it swears to no one, promises to get done.

She reached for us

Between rocks falling, dreams drowning

To the brine of waves, nights pulling to the stars

To flags waving…for freedom.

Love is a gentle friend - at its best. Your words flow with truth, hope but perhaps awareness of the torment it has to endure to prove steadfast and eternal. Your three final lines are the end and start, a finale like no other, Sami, ' Between rocks falling, dreams drowning - To the brine of waves, nights pulling to the stars - To flags waving…for freedom. '

[Sami Khalil]

Whoaaa! How can I not agree with your wonderful statements? So true and well articulated. You have an astute mind and a gentle spirit. Thank you so much.

We don’t decide who we love. It just happens. It pulls us in and captures us.

Love the imagery of this poem

In all weathers. fair or foul, in all situations good or bad, in chaos or repose, love conquers all. What a wonderful thought to have a love that can't be rocked despite everything being thrown at it. This poem is a beacon to love, burning fiercely and bright. That dear Sami, is how your words spoke to me. A lovely poem. Love through time.
