The Bridge Poem by AbdelAziz Alhaider

from far long years.... and the steps on the flourishing iron is a bell of flowered resonance greenish in the gardens of your years
Among the crossing and the arm clasps is a templet supplemented by the clasp barrier of the bridge
And the red sweet alluvium fluctuating
In the wave strumming …. wailing..
In the Gulls hurrying their white wings of love..
At our feet that tired by the distances
In the fear... growing as thorns with Chrysanthemum
O.... O the bridge ……plate about a time of purity
O swings for the craving
O language for the challenge
O castle of the river
O image of immortality
return us two decade... two decade... of your life that extending in the rivers life..in our life
O bridge that glory to you
