Autoplay

The sun between the thick black flare ascends
like a child's eye covered with blood, dust and fear.
The ceaseless shelling, raids and his tears
Pour poison into his blasted ears.
The moon, like a ghost, its deadly light sends
Over his white lips to mock his breath
Which Dissolves in the darkness of death.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

This poem was inspired by my experience of seeing a Syrian child who was saved from death after the destruction of his home. His eyes were covered with dust, blood and fear. One of his eyes was just like the bloody sun which rises above the war-torn cities and villages of Syria.
