Aphrodite
Adam Nahhass Jun 2018
Driving alone, heading nowhere,
haunted by memories I meditate.
Paced upon the woods overhead.
Crowd of stars may spirit abate.
Feeling your hand against mine;
so overwhelming, cannot debate.

Hand reaches the seat aside,
Nothing but illusions I conflate.
No more than a longing night;
Imagining lifeless eyes, but great!
It's over! Death already won..
Gunpowder in heart, still taste.

Stumbling through darkness,
I arrived your place I hate.
The sky was raging storms,
Your echoes arranged a date!
Short talks & laughter, we shared.
I wept in happiness at such state..

Standing at your grave, I tried
Pull the death out of you, saint!
Fervently plied to bring you back;
Longing for souls be embraced!
All alone! without you, Aphrodite!
Who else my lips would paint?

Feeling this loss, I wished..
We were dreaming, but too late!
Time won't recover anything, but
Evoking pain that would inflate!
Paramour! Come downward, help me!
Drain your ether, or I die at slow rate..
- This poem was inspired by a man lamenting his beloved wife who died under the rubble of their destroyed house due to aerial bombardment.. #Syria.

Chemical Sighs
Adam Nahhass Apr 2018
One early morning I woke up,
things changed, I racked my brain.
No one whispered my name..
I'm a little child, cannot explain.
They came by, calm down baby
you're blessed with angels sane.
Started to realize what's happening!
in paradise think I'm with sis Jane.

With pride and disdain,
I'm going to ignore my pain.
When someone falls, I thought
one would help you get up again!
There in Syria, children gassed;
people around screamed, all in vain
No blood No tears, what a tragedy!
such wounds! we could not sustain!

Down there, friends wander in agony
nobody helps, they just complain.
Children here whisper things like,
a man to avenge us, pull the chain
I took that for a joke and laughed,
others promised time & time again!
They insist. No! This time it’s real ,
Trump vowed to make Syria Spring again.

Like parents at home, we kept dreaming,
there should be sunshine after rain.
Trump kept talking good, singing tweets
vowing to move against the grain,
Whilst behind the scenes, calling Putin;
it won't hurt, he's not Saddam Hussein !
Russians' drama goes on, drawing red lines,
Assad acting to that hollow campaign!

The truth came & falsehood came true;
mental ammunition; faulty with a drain!
A trick, we've been used to down there,
we suffered lies in that "black" reign!
But this time, we felt let down with,
stupid rockets, made "animal" human gain!
Forget our blood, forget honoring words,
pray thee, No Tweets, No offence again.

Chemicals were they, or bombs,
*******! Mist does resemble the rain!
Such a naive world who drinks blood,
the more it hurts, the more they gain
They left that Assad destroying Syria,
while they’re riding the gravy train !!
Won't forgive, Day of Judgment is coming,
Angels here unleash Hell again & again.

Chemical Tweets
Adam Nahhass Apr 2018
Under torn roofs, on scattered graves,
Assad soldiers celebrate their end of fight!
Adrift, disbelief devouring souls,
We beat the "terrorists", they still cite!
Carrying Kalashnikovs on their backs,
Scared but looting everything in sight.
We won; this should be our wage;
A chance we may lose despite!

In Syria, massacres become a tradition,
Like father, like son! What a plight!
Ben Ali said before "I understood you"
To KSA, he took the first flight.
Egypt’s Mubarak "got your demands"
Later, he stepped down overnight.
In Syria, neither understood nor could he;
Needless to say, he got a green light!

Homes bombed, children sniped,
A Million died, no end in sight!
Bombs are ringing out the windows,
Raining death hunts Syrians campsite!
Assad media alleging a conspiracy;
ignited a war, Oh! Russians delight!
Maskirovka? Outdated doctrine stupid!
Wild bears never again fly-by-night!

In Duma they used chemical weapons,
innocent children suffocated at night!
Foam coming out of their mouths,
Trying hard to breathe at twilight
There Macron looking for proof!
May you try yourself & feel the rite!
Nature disliked, condemned this act, whilst
Arabs upon condemnation, did not unite!

Trump tweeted! Pushed Assad to evacuate.
Russian warships moved away at daylight!
Do send the fleet & honor those tweets!
Think heaven gates are shining tonight.
No behind-scenes deals, no survival.
Take gas killing animal to nearest waste site.
Pardon me if bothered you President Trump
I wrote you coz we don't sleep at night.
