POEM -TALES OF THE SAND

TALES OF THE SAND Hassane Yarti (Morocco)

When night descends, I mold my shadow at will,
To capture a spark from the sky, a scent to distill,
Perfume from blooms on my balcony’s sill,
A handful of moonlight, a moment to still.

From night’s ink I carve letters on stone,
Crafting a hut of patience, all my own,
Waves of calm, storm’s tone,
A beauty called hope, brightly shone.

An unsheathed sword, sharp and keen,
Cuts through sad steps, slays wishes unseen,
A star that stains the night serene,
A dawn sun to brighten the scene.

I release water to chase thirsty dreams,
A phantom of clouds, inked in moonbeams,
My dark sky’s buttons shattered, it seems,
Concealing whispers, scattering yearning’s streams.

In the sunset of passion, no waiting found,
Silence caresses madness, unbound,
A lark pecks crystal corners, profound,
Opens icy windows, scattering them around.

Between heart and time, patience sails high,
To meet myself where purple streaks cry,
From rituals of absence, a sorrowful sigh,
My spirit spreads as a pearl, aiming for the sky.

Yearning for the sea, for reunion’s embrace,
On abandonment’s shore, visions lose their grace,
Waves settle, love’s tales interlace,
Perhaps the connection will come like an infant's the lashes,

Like sleep softly trailing,
On the shore where dreams are sailing.
