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.

[emmajoy]

Your writing so often reminds me of old scriptures or words discovered carved into ancient monuments - you write romantically yet with due respect to form.

IS there a sadness at the end of these beautiful lines.. hopefully, i' m wrong?

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So thankful for all you say and do. Your words of encouragement means a lot. There is always sadness in my past but I move on and every once in a while reminisce a little like this one. I planted her as a lost sermon in hearts to revive the faith in love so to speak. So glad you like this write. Take care...:).............
