Abdul Hadi Haleemah: Poems

Abdul Hadi Haleemah Mar 2020

A NIGHT OF HOPE

Tonight,
I choose joy, seeing the moon as its rays dispel darkness, sweeping -
around this countenance, funny how the seasons change a day sunshine,
and the cleansing rain splashing hopes to every corner of the heart.

I choose the sating joy of wines from the vineyard, despite ageing, a tongue
of sourness is a taste of sweetness.

I choose joy, as I hide my tears behind deluded smiles.
And, even with bleeding wounds and cracks in the heart,
I learn to cover miles.

Tonight, I choose joy, as I
taste the fruit that joyfulness yields.

Rain

Abdul Hadi Haleemah Mar 2020

Rain

RAIN

First with the high voice!
The master roars in with firmness,
Pulsing fears to mother earth,
And to the light
flying in with a cracked garment.

How beautiful is rain?
Subtle drops of tears clamouring for home,
Sent from the makers of the eyeing death,
Waking the snorting world.

And what's rain?
If not a cloaked blessing piercing its mercy with coolness.
What's rain?
If not a life walking in a street of dead.
What's rain?
If not a deaf god
Ignoring shouts of protests and the clamour of love.

Dripping, Splitting and Splattering but soothing,
A blessing it is, rain that wash off pains,
The rain has to reign
on its throne.
