Ahmad Shiddiqi Poems

You are haunting me, my dearest one
Only now have I realized that poems must be recited very early in this season
On Summer to Winter
Ah, wherever I might be, there you always follow
...

A slender bender all the way
The crew got right
Into the mood
Fire dancers at door
...

Mirtoo Sea had been waving gently
The Blue Eagle had been flying over Tower Nomia
Wounded warriors had been drinking water from Glauke Fountain
Herodotus had been writing romantic poems on Meteora
...

All at sudden in the curved mirror on the brown wall
Thomas caught a glimpse of Silvia
Sitting at a table with her friend
...

Melting into the image of the Milky Way
You want to cross those rivers of doubt
And surpass the night's magic spell
Matching just like a picture
...

we are flying freely
rise your smiling wish
always together under same sky
because we have an undefeated spirit
...

it’s a voyage full of risk
something valuable is there
even when we’re in danger
no worry because I'll save you
...

So close your eyes
And remember those innocent moments
I'm searching for a child who disappeared
The clouds disperse
...

(dedicated to Maria Sudibyo)

look tenderly at
innocence smile
...

(dedicated to Thisoul Ofmine)

Purple is not for everybody
Some can’t handle its big aura
...
