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.

Such lovely imagery here. I particularly like the line, "In the further callings of noted flowers as colors escape orphanages". The whole piece just flows and brings the reader to a place of accepted moving on. The pain is felt but there is hope. Nicely done!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. Thank you so much dear poet for this amazing review and appreciation. You are appreciated...:)....

Planted with a bed full of apologies? I think most would prefer that than a small bouquet, if the apologys are in earnest. Thought provoking write. Valentine

dear Sami... this reminds me of losing my Mother
when I became an orphan. "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". Your poetry blends with
Chapel bells where rest and divinity dwell.
truly... Pat
