Welcome Bobby,beautiful poem.
The light is having…a nap
كل شئ يخبو يحتضر
يموت
إلا الضوء
من هناك يطفئ
الضوء
و الضوء باق
إنما سمح للظلام
أن يمر
حتى يستريح الضوء
قليلا
في
غفوة
لماذا تذكرني
كل يوم
أن حبك سيخبو
كالضوء
إن ضعف حبك
فإن الضوء
أبدا لا يضعف
و الزهور الذابلات
تترك الممرات
لتمر زهرات
يا نعات
إن مات حبي في قلبك
سينمو حب آخر
هناك
الضوء يغفو
و الظلام قليلا في غفوة
الضوء
يلعب
و يمرح
Every thing gets weaker
and….dies
but not the light
Who can turn off completely
the light
and end it forever
no one
the light takes a rest
for a while
let darkness run
have fun
then…. wakes up
why do you remind me
that your love for me
will die one day
or night
all flowers will die
let paths clear for others
to erupt
and grow
the light is having a nap
mean while
darkness is running
playing only
for a while

The Big D
Once a certain death
Diabetes is now
something a person can live with.
Once a certain death
of a boy I read about
reminded me
Diabetes isn’t something a person can ignore
and live with.
Once a certain death
standing in the darkness by the bed
as I came sweating and trembling to awareness
reminded me my death
is something I live with.
Thanks, Zo Zo,
There’s a lot of good stuff in here, including yours. I haven’t had time to read it all yet.
Very happy about the book. I have the Poetry Reading kit, but I’m kind of hesitating with scheduling it.
Has anyone in here done a reading, either with the No Sugar Added Poetry book, or anything? Any tips?
Nice poem,Zozo.Welcome to the club.
The big D,Jerry is not that big now.Good control makes diabetes not as scary as it used to be.
