Rafik Romdhani Poems

Your first face smiled to me
Soon your second one frowned
Your first face came out waggingly
The second like a cloud downed
...

The dream is right
The dream is white
Ah aye aye aye!
...

Oh life you tired me out
In taking this heart for a rock
On which you sunned like a beast
And grew your weeds of poison hemlock
...

Night obscures the day's eye
But is not enemy to dawns on the way
Birds' heads now asleep under their wings
See the full light of life in blindfolded skies
...

In love with the dark 'n with the light
Yapping gusts from the far South
Swishing to 'em the hem of the night
Blow and blowlike no other mouth
...

Poison in your sapruns by strange undertow
You sucked all ashes, invaded soils and Suns
So that roses bloom fom coffins of bitterness
Like miracles from candless dark come to go
...

Come, See Me!

You Rain,
Have clouds been thickening on your chest
...

It leaks
It bleeds
It looks
To God
...

Taking me where in this Love war?
Dragging my heartmidst nowhere
Your hands away; yet you touch me more!
Breath from you moves within
...

Head of Ordeals

Head! What made you groan
Where are you taking me
...
