The Eventful Night Poem by Abdul Wahab

Driving away
the coldness I wrap

the darkness of the night
and lie flat sweating hot

Under the sky
And I wait to listen the foot steps

Or at least the shooting Star
Whom I can wish

To fulfil my dream
The wind is very soothing

but the light
of the dawn is in a hurry,

The stars shy away
as if they were in battle field

The clouds are very busy
To welcome the sun

I feel rejected
And abandoned

To spread salt over my wounds
Moon shuts the windows

The night pulls
the rope of the curtain

Their game is over
but mine just to begin

What a fate, what a destiny
Cursing them I fall fast in sleep

What a wonder, what a surprise,
Around me I See

Many beautiful queens
And I am their only handsome king

When in ecstasy I shout I cry
I become awake

The fierce morning light tells
me and my eyes

That the queens were not in reality
And I was in dream
