Luna

A Poem by Sami Khalil

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.

dear Sami... the cleavage of dreaming
between your heart and the moon...
tucked in blissful romantic overtures
of Chopin rhapsodies ... truly

Wow...your poetry has such a magical quality. It is something else entirely. Your words carry me to timeless, spaceless realms. And that is exactly what I seek when I read. This is infused with the deep blue mysteriousness of the sea and the moon. A pleasure to read!

"Speaking of"...a great poem. I get the feeling of division between moon and earth, some are divided. You really captured the mystical tone of la "Luna."

╰☆╮You never disappoint, Sami. So glad I finally got to this poem. The title caught my attention due to the fact that some of my friends actually refer to me as Luna. I really, really enjoyed this. Especially the lines,

Land of eventual wanderings
Fusing waves of textured people

Great work. ^-^╰☆╮
