Ahmad Shiddiqi Poems

(dedicated to Mr. Bob Blackwell, a poet friend at poemhunter)

drones
queens
...

(dedicated to Thelma Zaracostas)

I don’t want to lose you
Even so you always
...

(dedicated to Ms. Oprah Winfrey)

it's about feeling
it's about studying
...

mesmerizing melodies upon beloved hearts
where is a true love there are heavens
on sincere souls of fragile men
like Abu Nuwas’ spellings
...

I travel up to Andes mountains
maybe a little bit hard to get there
but still I can touch a friendly gesture
I can smell fragrance of shiny gardens
...

(dedicated to Ms. Midori, a brilliant violinist)

across Saint-Remy border
he's gone with carnival now
...

(dedicated to people who love chess)

e4 c5
Nf3 Nc6
...

Do you never stop smiling, and laughing
Regardless of how much there’s trouble?
...

I gave myself freedom from boredom
From the leaves in the garden
To old toys in the garage
I had always been in one touch
...

(dedicated to Ms. Fiona Davidson, a great poet at poemhunter)

over an enchanted lake
graceful notes of Gamelan
...
