"irrigated" poems
Crescendo at the pitch ,
the touch of the octave,
the slide of my ribcage.
Put me on the overdrive
the feel of the rhythm,
beautiful eyes in glimmer.
I can't believe we are back,
on the track and split laps,
the untimed togetherness.
At the start of the race,
where heat and mist rose,
steams in the gush of the ****
Poised passion rose to the skies,
wetness and action felt so right,
the torrential evaporated rain.
My future lies in your bed,
on the blue walls with graffiti,
away in a continent afar.
Inside the cocoon of a time-space,
irrigated by sprinkles of growth,
where we hum through civilisation.

All our lives are we cultivated—
Cultivated by birth,
Cultivated by parents, friends, teachers—
By ethos—
which in turn cultivates the identities which we don—
In search of a self.
Cultivated by Earth—Irrigated by Love.
All so, to be purchased by Death—
A ripened Consumer.

My castle ....
into the heart of the sky there ...
above all clouds i build my castle ...
there where no one could reach my castle ...
no one could be there ...
no one have a rights to be ...
only the one whom i build for ...
there i build my castle for the one who has the rights to be ...
to be the queen to my castle ....
and the queen to me heart ...
there above all clouds i build my castle ...
build it only for you there ...
there where i sowed my love ...
and irrigated it through my heart's blood ...
to keep you always alive into my castle ...
there i build my castle ...
created it just to be our kingdom ...
our love's kingdom ...
and named it by your word's name ...
to be the castle to our love ...
and to live into our castles' love forever ...
there i'm creating you sweetheart ...
would you be there with me ...
would you be the queen to my castle ...
i build it just only for you ...
so please ...
don't be late ...
i'm waiting you there ...
hazem al..

"polite for a yankee"
making stop sign bullet holes
we start the massive pump churning into irrigated watermelon rows
headlight round a shadow bend in nightline tree bulk
sleep with empty cans beside the ashtray couch on matted ****

My soil
Fertile and irrigated
Abundant water
Flowing deep and torrential
Undammed waterfall
Your wand
Poking chubby clouds
Exceptional precipitation level
Fast flowing river
Amazonian mode
Your wand and my soil
Never, I said, never
a drought

Ever since you left this world
I've gradually been losing myself.
Ever since you deserted me,
Left me to fend for myself,
A trickle of water has irrigated my mind,
Slowly but surely.
I no longer get joy from silly putty,
Because that was ours,
And isn't meant to be mine alone.
Just like our fingers shaped the putty,
Your absence has shaped my world.
I no longer invent alien drag queens
With a mixture of our names,
Because that was our creation,
And your name is now etched on a gravestone.
I no longer carry around the alarm clock
That we used to pretend was our phone,
Because that was a time when connection mattered,
And now I know when I call it'll reiterate you're gone.
I no longer smile at the idea of my own recovery,
A thing I pushed onto you so strongly,
Because I wasn't there to get you through your own,
And you needed me more than I knew.
So as this trickle of water creates cracks in my mind,
I know that insanity is coming for me,
That I'll break at any moment.
But for now I'll stay in denial,
To the fact that the death of a best friend always comes
Slowly but surely.

My eyes are a constant glitter when such dreams
pop up. It's nice to feel that way again, still,
after the endless march of time separates the wheat
from the chaff. Guess which one am I:
the one that doesn't get exported, which makes sense
because
My eyes are a constant glitter when such dreams
pop up. It's nice to feel that way again, still,
after the endless march of time...
And what exactly is that glitter?
Stars? Ghosts? Memories?
Or the final flicker of a bedroom light bulb.
Or the last swipe of now-dark screen.
Or a distant goodnight from chaff to
wheat; fertile land to barren desert, yet
still planting himself to the irrigated seas
of Spring, where burning sun was still growth
and when one looked forward to growing up
like this.
Winter has never felt so warm.
Nor wheat and chaff so warm
and and
like the thoughts of you and me.

Straddled, lovingly, fibers needle into bone
Your anxiety of anticipation,
How I wish it were potable,
So I may drink the terror I have bred in you
I perch above you, heinous desires for your flora to overrun my entrails
Of all the silt eyes in the world, yours are the darkest
Pining for your validation,
For your attention,
As withered roots desperately crawl towards the damp soil
But your heart is barren of solicitude
And so I will soak the soil with your blood.
This charming man,
So cunning, and so wise
If it is not I who fulfills your ****** appetite,
No one will.
Undergrowth impels into irrigated bushes
Hedonism, even as your eyes paint such terror inimitable to capture in brush strokes
Voraciously, desperately,
It builds, the adrenaline, the bliss,
And into me you are, fulminating, everything your pedigree can give
I raise the steel, and I am unafraid
For my calloused hands have been soiled for generations
Plunging,
Squelching,
Broken yawps.
Your lineage,
Cradled by forever empty organs,
Is just as barren as your soul.
As your gore suffocates your lungs,
And my tongue caresses my blade,
I watch those silt eyes turn even darker
You will expire in me,
And no one will have you again.

Chronologically, the life force of upward momentum
Eratus, irrigated field leaves at the backdoor
Leaves in the mailbox
Always upward, from below, the deepest place
This may have been out of my frame of reference though
Did you see the half-mast falsehood
Up the pole, down the hole
Listen to the secret word
Monitor of the algorithm

I miss the scraggles of irrigated brain matter
the kind that used to spray out of my mind.
I miss the corregated gore that would line up
like so many words on an ephemeral canvas.
Alas, I am no more.

I am breathing water through my skin -
Thirsty living sponge absorbing
thought bubble exhales
Inhaled opinion torrents against
the current of mental oceans
flowing through the river of
my [self-creation],
Liquefied individual seas filing
the space of bone, blood, *****
Fleshy container of moon-tide movings,
white capped vocal waves
splashing into the port of ears,
Smashing boardwalk, tropic landmasses
opposing progression of this internal
flooding,
There was no Arc for my [air self],
two-legged, old self,
I am irrigated in washing lake water,
fresh stream sweat beading on the
lip of prayers to old goddesses,
crying melting glacier eyes,
transformed – reformed
further informed,
[simple oasis
pond]
in the [desert] everything

The ****** lay down,
As the untouched stream
Ran through her untouched skin.
Mountains grew like ruptures,
Imperfections, grainy tissue.
Leaves sprung up like parasites,
Clinging to dear life.
And she remained unmoved.
She remained harmonious.
Harmonious with the sudden
Obstructions that became
Carved, engraved, furrowed
Onto her pure surface.
And with sudden violence,
Her skin was ruptured,
Manipulated, ruffled.
Her once untouched earth,
Was dug out, strained,
And left out to the
Corrosion of the winds.
It was them, those parasites.
The ingrate life, that took
Advantage.
The animals that built,
Constructed, and cultivated.
Those that formed values.
Rules in the midst of chaos.
And she remained unmoved,
She remained content,
Content with the sudden
Colonies, civilizations,
That sprung up like
Dead may flies in spring.
But then, they brought up
Disease. They brought up
War, Poverty, Filth.
They broke those values,
Like paper chains.
And irrigated her earth,
With pools of blood.
And she remained still.
She remained petrified.
Petrified with that
That developed, unraveled,
Birthed, and destroyed,
On top of her.
She lay down as her skin,
Once fertile became sand.
Her rivers ceased to stream,
And dried up like cherries
Under the heated sun.
And the mountains crumbled,
And the leaves withered.
She lay down as the
Colonies collapsed, and
The civilizations were left
Abandoned, forgotten.
She lay down as the
Parasites retreated,
Died, and disintegrated.
And she remained crippled,
Battered, mutilated,
But standing still.
Not untouched, but proud,
Not intact, but standing.
Alone, but at peace at last.

In a bus, sat an old couple
and held each other’s hands.
Two hands were clenched together,
as they had when they were just born.
They were at peace with what would arrive,
yet sweaty and energized like they had been
when they played in the green grounds
as little, naive boys.
Six decades of intimacy
running through their minds.
Both chanted and repeated prayers
and wishes for each other and others.
They were mid-desert
but their bond well-irrigated.
Their fields had borne flowers.
And water was plenty.
What had happened was that
a band of robbers had attacked.
They threatened to ****
and so, they did.

I burned my eyes
In commemoration of the fire
Fire that was coming
From your mouth.
Like the Samurai swords
Words are sharpened
On the skin of a woman
Penetrates the blood
Irrigated dream
-Drips through memory.

.
our noses huffing our eyes flirting out
vetting the loose night air
a display of yearning we did a grand deed
a mammal slain at our heart
and we are the wrecking children
we killed ourselves a deer
( no small thing )
flashlights propped in nooks
open the prey for dressing we decorated a tree with the task
slings of intestinal tubing
open prey for dressing
vocal prayer for the ****
praise the attributes that we ended
the characteristics we assigned it
live meat in perish organs adding moist hot breath
to a waking cold night
after our butcher act
after the parcels and beast are stowed
amongst the trees we take off as phantoms in touch
'to ourselves be sacrifice and yet return' is somehow the plan
winds pick up
and cold rain drives sideways
leaves of the bushes
flashing fish silver underbellies
a fleshing thrill combing the trees
an urgent spirited excitement
back at daybreak
we skin off our leather grip slippers
remove our party plate masks
and in the irrigated mourning grass
wipe our feet
wash away our tread and our threat

Though man seeds no milk
she feeds upon my breast,
gluttony sustaining upon my
being and I am irrigated.
She is subtle on her needs
gently massaging me into
subjugation and I wilfully
rest upon her jagged shoulders.
I am a depleted image that is
fading with the contemplation
that I am but a vessel of her heeding
and soon I will be a husk of silence.
But in tainted milks there is thoughts
of freedom, that stigmata on her
yearnings and sour aromas now tainting
her hold over my essence now screaming.
I was her substance, now I am desecrated
shell of near nothingness. But I'm wilful
of her disposition and she is fading upon
the lilies of waters that drown her needing.
She is drowning in ill thoughts wanting to
devour my being, but I am a new blossom
and she is that which has fallen a leaf of
decayed time and I am now a free flower.

In the midst of a cold November night
tears falling from the dark in silence
not one sound piercing, or one single light.
blackness giving us nothing but utter pretense.
the misted air cloaked with contrite tapping the exposed souls of the night
rides along the cracked frost heave into the abyss of the wilted sense
guided by merely an undulated tone of right.
running from itself within its own defense.
'Twas the dawn of a bitter November light
and frozen tears irrigated days fence
no thing knew of the blackness in the night.
or the surroundings that shriveled its sense.

i can see death and it can see me
blinking
lights out
shimmering dust bowl dreams
they are irrigated
they are firm
that is death inside of itself
these things people call important
or the things that make up themselves
wellbutrin dreams
adderoll dreams
all of it spheres of mica
makes up for the sand in the desert
or the tall rouge waves in the ocean
for everyone in distress
for everyone who loves
or has loved
for everyone who is totally alone
for everyone who gets their wishes
we share our hearts and souls
shed nothing but water color tears
should you feel alone
or empty
please know that i am a heartbeat away
put your head on my shoulder
i can stay like this forever

A lady had a garden of oranges
oranges were green
her children were in teen
The garden was irrigated
oranges went yellow
her children needed 'fellow'
The garden entered spring
oranges got burr
her children left her
The garden suffered autumn
though oranges were ripe
her endless tears... and nobody to wipe
The garden may love its fruits
and oranges may be orange
but this poet wants revenge !

by these outskirts of the world, adrift in the post-truth era
a few fragments of scattered certainties here and there
sometimes in the middle of a meadow
sometimes on the asphalt,
between the cracks in the cement
inside puddles
they sink
small splinters of evidence
like inhaling
breeze
that feeds
and in the gestures
in posture
in the look
in the eyes
around the lips
between wrinkles like furrows
to be irrigated with tears
sometimes of joy
under this forgotten suburban sky
small fragments of truth
not in the words
but in the body heat
and in silence
silence
please
-----------------------
nel calore di un corpo
presso queste periferie del mondo
alla deriva nell'era della post-verità
pochi frammenti di certezze sparse qua è là
a volte in mezzo a un prato
a volte sull'asfalto,
tra le crepe nel cemento
dentro a pozzanghere
affondano
piccole schegge di evidenze
come inspirare
una brezza fresca
che nutre
e poi nei gesti
nella postura
nello sguardo
negli occhi
attorno alle labbra
tra le rughe come solchi
da irrigare con lacrime
a volte anche di gioia
sotto questo cielo urbano dimenticato
piccoli frammenti di verità
non nelle parole
ma nel calore del corpo
e del silenzio
silenzio
per favore
...........................
en el calor del cuerpo
en estas afueras del mundo, a la deriva en la era de la post-verdad
algunos fragmentos de certezas dispersas aquí y allá
a veces entre la hierba del campo
a veces en el asfalto,
entre las grietas en el cemento
adentro de charcos
se hunden
pequeñas astillas de evidencia
como inhalar
brisa
que alimenta
y en los gestos
en la postura
en la mirada
en los ojos
alrededor de los labios
entre arrugas como surcos
a regar con lágrimas
a veces de alegría
bajo este olvidado cielo suburbano
pequeños fragmentos de verdad
no en las palabras
en el calor del cuerpo
y en el silencio
silencio
por favor

Having found you I have found the World,
Let it be this land with all its waters & soil,
Or be it the bluish sky up above our lands.
Out in open fields I notice the birds flying,
Love flies towards you brewing up to boil,
Safe farm of friendship lovingly irrigated.

I’m a ship prepared to sail
Through aerial gales
To live a fairytale
Above scary jails
That sadly prevail
Below my trail
I look below me
To see hatred growing
While the lights are strobing
From the guns they’re loading
That are my foreboding
If I ever start slowing
I’ll hit the ground lowly
And the bullets flowing
Will get to know me
But I have protectors
Against those who hector
They watch my vector
And disarm the projectors
My protectors are my friends
My protectors are my colleagues
And my flight will never end
As long as they will follow me
Enemy insurgents
Become a disturbance
Creating turbulence
As they herd the dense
Until they’re furious
And shoot the breeze
With RPGs
Until my army sees
They’re harming me
My friends flank me in jet fighters
To protect me from the assault
And my squad keeps getting wider
By adding those I exalt
I fly in the clouds
With my friends all around
Breaking the barrier of sound
While never going down
Foes shoot missiles
Of dismissal
With words visceral
To make me miserable
But my valiant defenders
Shoot down the offenders
With consolation rendered
In their care so tender
We employ evasive maneuvers
To avoid the pervasive losers
And the invasive abusers
All of whom are cruisers
Flying low
Dying slow
Blinding snow
Lines their nose
But the enemy fleet is approaching
Our territory they’re encroaching
While we’re somberly toasting
Seeing the numbers they’re boasting
We try to fight
With all our might
But day turns to night
As I gain a suffering plight
The hovering helicopters
Shoot distracting flares
With tantalizing offers
Leaving my targeting impaired
So I veer off course
Like a lost horse
In a frost force
Of top torque
Once my squad is separated
The enemy is elevated
Showing the hell that waited
While my friends designated
Me as venerated
Like Satan irrigated
The peers I hated
Just being patient
Until I use a spaceship
The demons chase
Me into space
Until there’s no trace
Of the Devil’s face
But I can’t eject now
With space all around
While my crew starts to leave
Between asteroids I weave
While trying to grieve
My group disintegrating
They float into the nether
Quiet as a feather
As my ties are severed
They float away forever
And I start drifting alone
Drifting becomes my home
Drifting into the dark unknown
Depression drifts into my bones

I’ve been planted
with sunflower seeds,
been irrigated once a day
with condition of conceived forecast,
been left under the sun to grow and burn,
So I grew and bloomed and blossomed and flowered
and opened my ****** petals for the hungry hornet to see,
I felt the sting and the slit and the pain and the *****
My pistil now empty, I ached and wept
for the hornet fluttered and flew and travelled,
pollen on his lips, I wept and shattered,
I birthed a daughter, beautiful and tall,
but I dwindled and shrunk and weakened and waned,
felt fingers on my stem, pulling and plucking,
Petals depleted, dried and drained,
wasted away, a hornet on its way
