Leila Samarrai Poems

You are here again,
observing, waiting within me…
brutal eye
...

SAMIRA’S COMFORT

You bite the poem under the tongue and words which made reminiscences into dust
They do not understand you, actrisa.
...

These are my times

When the word is not answered with a word
Harpies speak with the language of dervish
...

Gods too seek sanctuary in dreams
(Conversation of Hypnos and Melpomena)
(place of deed: the cave of Hypnos)
...

There will be time for me to tell you
Will the words spin tomorrow as well
And will the essence be the thread
...

When will the nothingness begin
When will we hear the echoes of the morning
Devoid of celerity, love and wisdom
...

Listen
Do not wait for the Sun without shadow
It does not differ a harlot
From a drowning woman upon a shore
...

You do not grasp – the spilled blood is chiming
From unveiling you wrongfully dread
In agony of you yourself
While we pine atop Grecian terraces.
...

The silence of the stone sleepers
And the tricked audience

I say nothing before the mute sounds
...

Stack on a hanger next to each other
Skintight heads, throbbing with pain
In hangman's loop are warmly tucked
A memorial plaque burst into tears
...
