Susie Zuheir Gharib

Rating: 5.0


The nightingale of Syrian Arab Republic
Why she is quiet since a long time?
I would like to hear your melancholy songs
From the edge of this world where I stay now.
Is there any restrictions over there to sing?
I am sure the fanatics have no taste of songs
And they only prefer the crazy war it seems,
Please do not worry my dear poetess
Time heals all the wounds
And I hope your cage door would open soon automatically by the winds of will power.

* Dedication to my fellow poetess Susie.

Thank you nimal for this tribute. I am overwhelmed. My absence from this web was due to personal reasons because nobody silences poets in Syria. I have published six books here. I lived in Scotland and Australia but it is only in Syria that I experienced the sense of freedom and unbridled expression. Do not believe what the advocates of democracy say on the news. Look at my new poem The Assyrian which I posted today. Thanks again and best wishes.

If words alone could change the world, then your poems should be tossed to the winds and allowed to land and grow for all eternity. A stunning tribute to a beautiful poet from a beautiful poet. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
