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.

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.

Very beautifully written piece...the imagery seemed to come alive thank you for sharing :)

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Thank you so much Silhouette for this amazing review and sharing. So glad you like sad romance...:)................

[Silhouette]

You are welcome :) sad romance is a mixture of emotion. Full of hope, full of pain...warm and cold, mixture of opposite emotions weave together into a thing of haunting beauty.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. So true and well spoken. Thank you kindly...:)...............

[gabrielle]

This is beautifully written sami. in our lives there are pain and sorrow but we must also remember that sorrow or pain could be a touchstone of love.

[Sami Khalil]

"sorrow or pain could be a touchstone of love."

Wow. Amazing truth in your wonderful words. So lovely to visit and share. Please send some read requests...:)..........................

One understands the love we have for our families and even those of long-held friendships, and often they are of the unconditional kind that Dhaye speaks of below, but romantic love, indeed, marital romantic love is harder to maintain. We read our fairytales and patiently, and not-so-patiently, await our fair damsel and/or silver-glinted, brave knight. If we are lucky we meet this said perfect person or the next best thing, but the truth the fair damsel will wrinkle and gain dark spots; the armour will rust and there will be times when the knight resembles more the garden variety potato than any hero of note. The truth of the matter is romantic love does come with conditions if it is to be maintained, not so much that we never fade in physical beauty but in that we remember that your other half needs to be cherished as much as you must be cherished in return. It is not unconditional; it is work, but pleasant work, all the same. Without mutual-adoration a familiar friendship can still be maintain but romantic love will slowly slip away. So tend those seeds for with it come this special love and perhaps some healing.

[Sami Khalil]
