MUSLIM SUFI POETRY - You alone

 

Suad Al- MUBARAK Al-SABAH   (1942- 

 
You alone . . . control my history
And write your name on the first page
And on the third, and on the tenth,
And on the last.
You alone are allowed to sport with my days
From the first century of my birth
To the twenty-first century after love.
You alone can add to my days what you wish
And delete what you wish
My whole history flows from the palms of your hands
And pours into your palms.

Tennessee Williams part VII

VII. You and I

Who am I?

A wounded man, badly bandaged,

a monster among angels or angel among monsters,

a box of questions shaken up and scattered on the floor,

 

A foot on the stairs, a voice on a wire,

a busy collection of thumbs that imitate fingers,

an enemy of yours. Your lover.

Tennessee Williams part VI

VI. The Ice-Blue Wind

 

Being expert on the zither

he gave concerts twice a winter ...

 

His fingers knew The Ice-Blue Wind

that single score and nothing more.

 

But what of that? It did suffice

to close him in a wall of ice,

 

Tinged with distance, always blue,

which somehow warmed him through and through.

 

Long, long after all had gone,

and in the hall crept winter dawn,

 

He would strike a final string,

take a bow and proudly shin

 

Up a column up to the roof,

in union with The Absolute.

V. Wolf's hour

 

Well, it's three A.M.

after an hour's sleep and a blond youth who declined to stay with me.

Wolf's hour of night is not well-spent alone.

 

Nevertheless there is this bit of comfort:

in my hands' curved remembrance there remains indelibly

the unclothed flesh of the youth who refused to stay longer,

and I could settle for less,

God knows if not unknowing.

Haïku - Death

 
DEATH
 
I am dead again
Dead without grave or any wreaths
My heart still beating

Asking God to take me there,
Quick - without regrets, remorses.

IV. Liturgy of Roses

 

This is for you for whom bloom certainly roses ...

 

and all of those doors floating open on those who have roses

going to those who have roses, in chambers which those without roses

possess no license to enter.

 

Roses, all roses, the immense impartiality of all God

and all roses,

orifice emptying, never emptied of roses.

 

Because you are tolerant only of those who have roses,

Your eyes ... saying, These roses, all roses, my roses,

Though still in the arms of those who came bearing roses.

 

And by the same token confessing: My tongue, my tongue,

not your body,

my body, my body, not yours,

while murmuring You, while continually murmuring

You, you, you, which is translated to I

no matter how murmured to whom.

Tennessee Williams (part II)

 

II. Cruising

 

Noontime youths,

thighs and groins tight-jean-displayed,

loiter onto Union Square,

junkies flower-scattered there,

lost in dream, torso-bare,

young as you, old as I, voicing soundlessly a cry ...

 

Androgyne, mon amour,

shadows of you name a price

exorbitant for short lease.

What would you suggest I do,

wryly smile and turn away,

fox-teeth gnawing chest-bones through?

 

Even less would that be true

than, carnally, I was to you

many, many lives ago,

requiems of fallen snow.

 

Androgyne, mon amour,

cold withdrawal is no cure

for addiction grown so deep.

Now, finally, at cock's crow,

released in custody of sleep,

dark annealment, time-worn stones

far descending,

no light there, no sound there,

entering depths of thinning breath,

farther down more ancient stones,

halting not, drawn on until

 

Ever treacherous, ever fair,

at a table small and square,

not first light but last light shows ...

Androgyne, mon amour.

you and I (part 1) Tenessee Williams

 

 

 

I. You and I

 

Who are you?

A surface warm to my fingers,

a solid form, an occupant of space,

a makeshift kind of enjoyment,

a pitiless being who runs away like water,

something left unfinished, out of inferior matter,

 

Something God thought of.

Nothing, sometimes everything,

something I cannot believe in,

a foolish argument, you, yourself, not I,

an enemy of mine. My lover.

Because I love you

 

My love, because I love you

(extrait de 4 mariages et un enterrement) William H Austen

 
 

Stop war, let silence the quarrels and tensions subside.
My love is dead this morning.
Make stop engines, make airplanes land and boats rest at the port.
My love is dead this morning.
Do turn off televisions, radios and close your newspapers.
My love is dead this morning.

Make extinguish the fireworks, the bonfires and the limelight.
My love is dead this morning.
Make stop songs, cries and moans;
My love is dead this morning.
Make silent birds, dogs and all animals.
My love is dead this morning.
Turn off all lights, neon lights and lighthouses.
My love is dead this morning.
Stop the waves of the sea, turn off the sun and stars.
My love is dead this morning.
Stop the race of  Earth, the growth of plants and the development of seasons.
My love is dead this morning.
Ask the life a pause, death to wait a bit and stop its course.
My love is dead this morning.
Give to infants their bottles , ask the children to silence and adults to give them an example.
My love is dead this morning.
Comfort the wounded, comfort the dyings and  calm the livings.
My love is dead this morning.
Stop the discussion, stop the laughters and hold your tears.
My love is dead this morning.
Do not move, don’t  make more noise and remain silent
My love is dead this morning.
Do keep a candle as a glimmer in the dark.
My love is dead this morning.
If you manage to do that, just a moment, for a second,
Then you will understand what calm
and what appeasement I felt during every moment with her (him)

against the war

 

AGAINST THE WAR 

The insanity of each battle,
And people attack each other
And people die..

Somewhere, Miles away,
Families cry,
And tears show no preferences,
They visit everyone
Along with pain
That decides to stay a bit longer...

God shows no preferences
at Paradise’s gates no passport is asked
Just the identity of the soul,
Nationality: the Tribe of kindness.
And when angels are given their wings
No questions are asked,
The colour doesn’t matter,
Archangels are blind,
The nation doesn’t matter,
Archangels come from Heaven
And Heaven is a miniature of the Earth,
All that matters is the beauty of the heart,
Archangels have studied Art…

Scarcely in the grave,

Fighting for their part

GHOST OF LOVE

The rose of Medina -

 
 

 

Rose of Medina

Whenever I commemorate You, all else fades from my mind,
Your phantasm treads on the hills of my mind;
Although a mirage, it assuages my affliction,
Whenever I commemorate You, all else fades from my mind.

I wish your love pervade each second of my life,
And I could soar like spirits and circumambulate your aurora,
And find some way to ooze into your heart,

I wish your love pervade each second of my life.
I avow it is too late to attain your blissful presence,
My heart will ceaselessly be lamenting still,
Forever anticipating you with the freshest hopes,
I avow it is too late to attain your blissful presence,
As my heart flutters like a dove, hankering for you,
I beg you to grant me a plume of yours!
So that I could flap after you forever,
As my heart flutters like a dove, hankering for you.

O Rose that turns scorching desert into Eden!
Come and lapse flow into my soul with your enchanting colors!
It is high time your smiles shone on the apples of my eyes.
O Rose that turns scorching desert into Eden!
Let me be your slave, like Majnun, in the quest for you,
Sprinkle embers on my soul, let me burn like a furnace.
And be relieved of this rancorous dream elapsing without you,
Let me be your slave, like Majnun, in the quest for you.

I count the days I have been severed from you,
That coil about my soul like gloomy dolor.
Let me see your face before the twilight unfolds,
I count the days I have been severed from you.

Let me see my dusk turn into dawn at my last gasp,
And my heart be filled with the newest colors of your horizon,
Lutes would be resounding then, and flutes would be heard,
Let me see my dusk turn into dawn at my last gasp.
